I have the same issue with pet hair and such, and I’ll tell you that my Panasonic bagless vacuum is awesome, it not only cleans the pet hair, but also it filters it through a hepa filter, and it has an anti-static dirt cup so nothing sticks to it.

This is an grown-up model vacuum but, I LOVE it! I have a HOOVER SAVVY it’s around $ 200 so it’s cheaper than a Dyson and if you buy the extended warranty it’s STILL cheaper and you get an additional 3 yrs. of warranty! Which covers EVERYTHING except belts/filter… This particular vacuum has NO BELTS….

It has carpet/bare floor on/off button, 3 carpet levels, on board hose attachements. It comes in colors…. It has an simple to empty bagless canister. 2 filters including a hepa that’s really simple to clean.

Though, the downside… It’s a small on the heavy side… The cord is small (I have mine hooked with an extention cord so it’s no conundrum.. The filters can be expensive… I buy mine on AMAZON.COM so it’s around $ 30 for BOTH and they last 2 yrs.! I’ve had mine in for repair about 2x for minor breakage… Since it’s under warranty it’s NOT a huge deal… Also, since I paid extra for the warranty I’ll “lie” and take it in 2x-3x a yr. for a clean and check… The bagless feature can be a bit hard so I empty it outside or in the garage…

Though, I use baking soda once a month on my carpets…

I have 2 toddlers, wall to wall carpet and a large breed dog that sheds! It’s been a GREAT vacuum I’ve had ours for OVER 5 yrs!

*Any vacuum you do choose to get will require upkeep/maintance so make sure you have a service center that’s “approved” in case you need some repair/maintance…

Take the vacuum in at least 1x a yr. especially if you have a warranty.. I make up something call the warranty center and they set-up the appt. The vacuum gets a through cleaning and flat for no-charge…

Excellent luck

*sigh*… really, is this what the world has come to… Jeff Foxworthy Beef Jerky!?!?

Actual refer to from a press release:

Recognizing the growing, nontraditional segment of the jerky promote, Monogram is launching a line of products under the Jeff Foxworthy mark in 2006. Jerky is the top meat snack and it has more than doubled its promote size since 1997, according to Mintel International Group of Chicago.

Fueling sales growth, the low-carb dieting trend has thrusted meat snacks into the media focus. (Like their choice of verbs — CD) Jerky now appeals to a wider demographic, including women, children, and health-conscious consumers. Further, this promote has not yet exhausted its growth opportunities as evidenced by data from the Fall 2004 Simmons National Consumer Assessment, which found that just 39% of households buy meat snacks.

Jeff Foxworthy is the ideal celebrity brand to promote Monogram's jerky products because he has universal fascinate and his image is meticulously associated with the consumer's expectations of the product. Test marketing already shows that Jeff Foxworthy Jerky products are a hit!

Consumers reported Jeff Foxworthy beef jerky was more tender than other brands in the taste test and had the best flavor, more beef flavor, and better spices!

I need to buy a new car. Mine died yesterday. I want to know what used cars are excellent buys. I would really like a Honda, Intrepid, or Saturn. My mom had a Honda that ran forever. I had an ancient Consumer Reports book she gave me, but I can’t find it. I reckon it said Intrepid were excellent in the 93-94 model being. Do you know if this is right?

Also I want to keep my insurance cost down. The lady I spoke to said cars w/more safety features and ones that seems to be overall excellent car are usually lower in insurance cost. Delight help! I need to find a new car ASAP!

I don’t really care what year it is. My first car was a 90. I just want it to be reliable. I need something I can have for a few being before I get a new one. Thanks!

I just got my 2008 Consumer Reports Reliability Book. From all the cars listed here, the most reliable and dependable are 97-03 Nissan Maxima, all being of Lexus LS, and 04-07 Acura TL. If you are going to get a Honda Accord, be sure to get a four cylinder Accord. The 4 cylinders are more reliable, according to the Reports, than the V6 models. I hope this helped and excellent luck with your buy.
