Well, I went to Shopko this morning, and they had the DC07 for $399,
and the DC14 Animal for $469. Since I hadn't researched the Animal
(we don't have pets anymore), I came home empty-handed.

I jumped online and did a comparison, and realized that the 14 Animal
costs $549 pretty much everywhere. I wasn't interested enough in the
extra tools to pay $120 more for the Animal over the DC14 All Floors,
but for $40? Heck yeah.

I went back out and picked it up.

Initial impressions are good. We had just vacuumed our dining room 2
days ago with the Hoover Wind Tunnel and a fresh bag.

The Dyson filled the canister!

Seemed to do a great job cleaning, and the design itself is pretty
innovative (I like the way the wand is used).
