Make sure you get one with a HEPA filter for your DH.
Vacuuming can make me so grumpy with a normal one but since we've got a Dyson, never had a problem, I actually enjoy it now.
I love my dyson, only thing I don't like is that it doesn't vacuum that flat, ie under coffee tables but my friend has one that is similar to the dyson & it does do this. We both have upright ones.

I have a dyson which i thought was awesome in the beginning then i used mums cat and dog meele man that thing can suck!!! Mums meele uses bags and the dyson is bagless which i thought would be good but im going off it as i normally get a breath of dust and crap trying to empty it and DP luxed up glass with it and it scratched the inside of it so its looking a bit haggard now.

I coveted a Dyson for years and ended up buying an Electrolux, which IMO, I have to say kicks ass over the Dyson. I have regularly used a Dyson so it is an informed opinion.
And, it was at least $200 cheaper and has just as good, if not better, suction and maneuverability.

I love our dyson, it works better than any other cheaper one we've had, plus it's really pretty

We have an electrolux - expensive but so worth it. It's awesome!
Ours is the green (and I think newer) version of this

Peachy recommended us our vaccum in 2008 and it is still going strong. We have a bagless Nilfisk and we love it. I can't remember thename but maybe Peachy may know. Our neighbours have dogs and cats and it picks up their hair with ease.

I used to sell Vacuums and Dyson were always one of the more popular ones because they are bagless but I found them too bulky. I have a Miele Cat and Dog which is BRILLIANT! It has a huge amount of suck! You can also buy HEPA filters for them which I have done as my DF is asthmatic also. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It is super sturdy and easy to manouvere. Have had it for about 5yrs and it's still as good as new. It's not a bagless but I find the bags last a while cause they are quite big.

I am seriously considering selling our dyson and getting a miele cat and dog. Everytime i use mums i cant get over how well it works. I wonder if she will notice if i swap mine with hers 
What are the Mieles worth? I keep forgetting to ask mum cos considering we spent so much on the dyson im a little disappointed now ive seen what mums can do

I can't remember exactly but I think my Miele Cat & Dog retailed at about $599 when I got it?? That was a few years ago but don't think they've decreased in price much.There are a few different models so obviously it depends on what model you go for. So they are roughly the same price as what Dysons start at.

our dyson was $800 i think but we brought it at a farmers card holder night so i think it was only $500 we ended up paying. I think i may have found the problem with it tho as the filter hasnt been cleaned cos i lost the instructions when we moved and my friend has borrowed it and offered to clean it for me. Apparently its pretty bad so hopefully that will fix the problems ive been having if not i will be putting money aside for a Miele.
