I've had the Dyson Animal (ball) for 3-4 years now. It's an excellent vac. I actually had to get customer service to help me turn it down because it was so strong that I couldn't vac over my oriental rug.
I don't think it's the best vac in the entire world...it's comparable to the other vacs in the $500 price range.
I will say that the Animal attachment isn't all that great. I never use it.
All vacs have some (many?) plastic parts. If they didn't, they'd weigh a whole lot more. Plastic makes them light.

Man! I just checked mine and no one has bought anything off either. Slightly disappointing, but it is still kind of far out! I'm suprised people are seeing things being bought already! My showers are both in May though..

That was one of FI's additions to the registry! He insisted on a Dyson (and I admit I would like one, too).

FILs have one and love it! They have two goldens, one beagle and two cats and are very hard on things, it still works amazing after years of having it. We want the yellow one since you can turn the brush on and off depending if you are vacuuming carpet or our wood floors and tile. It would be perfect. I bought a $70 one that did that and it died, works awesome though!

You can spread by word-of-mouth that you are well settled into your home, and would appreciate contributions that would help you with your remodel. This implies you would appreciate receiving cash or gift cards in a more polite way - AS LONG AS you are spreading it via word-of-mouth only (e.g. asking your parents to pass it along to relatives, and giving this as your answer when asked directly).
No one knows about our registry yet, my mom bought something off there for christmas but is not working & paid half my dress so she won't be getting us anything else (which is fine). She is real sick & i would not expect that, i am sad that i haven't been able to tell people yet lol.
Nothing on my registry has moved since christmas. However, I was updating it the other day and told my FMIL we purchased some stuff off of it because the item was on sale and she complained to us not to do that. Apparently, she's purchasing stuff off the registry but not getting it marked so we know what we are getting. She is however, giving us the stuff before the shower invites go out so I can take the stuff off the lists.
