DYSON DC 41 ANIMAL ABSOLUTE RUBBISH

I HAVE HAD THIS HOOVER SINCE APRIL 2012, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GREAT AT PICKING UP ANIMAL HAIR, I HAVE A DOG, WHO MOULTS A LITTLE, THIS HOOVER IS SUCH HARD WORK YES IT IS POWERFUL - TOO POWERFUL YOU CAN BARELY MOVE IT - NOT JUST ME BUT ALL THE MEN IN MY FAMILY. IT BARELY LIFTS THE DOG HAIR IT TAKES 25-30 MINS A DAY TO CLEAN A ROOM WHICH IS 12'x13' WITH FURNITURE SO NOT A LOT OF FLOOR SPACE BUT YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS HUGE BY THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES. I WASH FILTERS EVERY 2-3 MONTHS, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. THE OTHER DAY THE RIGHT HAND BALL SHEARED OFF!! I HAVE CONTACTED DYSON IN THE PAST JUST TO BE TOLD BOOK IT IN FOR A SERVICE - WHAT DO I USE IN THE MEANTIME. I HAVE HAD 2 PREVIOUS DYSON'S DURING WHICH TIME I HAD 2 OTHER DOGS, MY DC01 LASTED FOREVER ABOUT 15 YEARS, THEN A DC07 NOT SO GOOD, THEN THIS LOAD OF RUBBISH. NOT EXACTLY CHEAP BY A LONG SHOT AND I KNOW IT'S STILL UNDER GUARANTEE BUT AS I SAID WHAT DO YOU USE IN THE MEANTIME. THE TURBO TOOL IS NO GOOD AT ALL, ALSO IF I WANTED A CYLINDER TYPE OF CLEANER I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE AND AS I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY KNEES AND MY BACK I HAVE TO HAVE AN UPRIGHT
