our upright Dyson purchased probably 8-10 years ago. I think they have one specifically for pets as well, we just have the regular Dyson Ball model. The one point I really don't like about it is the tube to use on stairs, hard to reach places, etc. It is a bit short and rather inflexible.

We also have a Red Devil upright that we acquired recently. I think you can find them at Target for about $40.00 on sale. Seems like a nice light weight cleaner with a good range of attachments and decent power. Cord is a bit short to do more than one room, but again it's a pretty cheap unit.
