I have a Dyson and I love it. The only hair that seems to get caught in the beater brush is mine. As for emptying the canister, I place the entire thing in a plastic bag, hold the bag tightly to the sides of the canister, and then pull the ring to open the bottom......no blast of yuck blows back in my face.<div>
I have also heard rave reviews of the Oreck vacumn cleaner.<br><div>They are pricey.....first look on EBAY or Craig's List.....last year, my son got a used one very cheaply. </div><div><br></div><div>Regarding the Aspartame in the Fiber One, I just bought some Grape Nuts which has no sugar or terrible additives. My wonderful Herschel eats it happily (but that is no measure of anything!)<br clear="all">
