They said it will probably be Wednesday before they know anything. I checked all the connections and wires. Nothing wrong. Oh man. That vacuum cleaner is the BEST! Not having one for a week is kind of torture, especially with dogs and cats.

Anyone else here have a Dyson and love it? I think I might get another one for the downstairs as well. Plus it will be nice to have a spare.

For the money, I like my Eureka Bosses, but I know how you feel having to go without. One upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs one has been used nearly daily for 4 years. I've replaced the handle release a couple of times and the hose a couple of times. I have three parrots, necessitating the daily use, and one little conure who when not watched diligently will chew holes in the hose. Same little bird that picked all of the keys off my notebook PC one day when my wife forgot to lock his door before leaving for work.
