Does anyone have a hand held vacuum that they love? I've been looking for one to clean up the quick little messes that my dogs leave behind, but I'm a little struck by the differences in cost, and I've read a few reviews (esthetically, I'm attracted to the dirt devil Kone--but apparently, it bites :)), so I was hoping for some guidance.

I can't justify $150.00 for one, either, though the dyson on is pretty cool looking!!!

I do like the Oreck handheld vacuum and the Dirt Devil. Dust Buster gets a big thumbs down from me.

There is a dirt devil one that comes on the push but disconnects and can be a dust buster....love it! we use it here at the shop and it works fabulous even on the salt from the street that people track in on their boots.

I have a dyson and I love it. the only complaint I have over it is that it kicks dirt back at your feet instead of sucking it up right away...so you have to go over the same spot once or twice. I cannot wait to be rid of our carpeting!
