What about the Fantom?

In Reply to: Consumer Reports did not give the best rating to Dyson.... - mac

I have had a couple of these - I broke one by running over a screw, bought a new one, then wanted to get a lighter/newer one, so I have had a couple. I find what they pick up is incredible, particularly the amount of dog hair as we have three small Shih Tzu. I don't see the dog hair but it sure picks a lot up. :)

I just wondered what kind of rating it might have.
