(just bought a HDX 8.9" 32GB on special).
Going by how often Woot has Dyson vacuums on sale, Amazon thinks you should own forty.

Of course, they stay in good shape if you don't use them much.
Well if you use them too infrequently, the dust buildup in the carpet can damn near kill them. Especially more modern ones with all the filters in them.

I also particularly like how the reusable filters you're supposed to wash out and let air dry end up stinking no matter what you do. Have to vacuum up a bunch of baking soda to make it stop. I think I'd rather buy new filters...
