 Dyson- is it worth the hype? April 30, 2008

I bought this remanufactured Dyson two days ago and received it yesterday thanks to a free trial of amazon prime. The vacuum looks as good as new. The question is, is it worth the hype? I'd say it's a good vacuum, but I'm not as ecstatic about it as some people seem to be!
I decided to put it to the test by vacuuming with my Hoover Bagless Wind Tunnel first. The biggest complaint I have with the Hoover is that it loses suction after the bin gets about a quarter or half full. I wasn't able to compare this with the Dyson because the Dyson only picked up a couple inches worth of dust and dog hair since I had just vacuumed with the other unit. I guess I was expecting that the Dyson would be *so* much better that it would immediately pick up tons of dog hair and tons of dust. It definitely picked up some stuff that the Hoover missed but it wasn't "amazing."
The pros: self propelled-very easy to push around! The purple color is pretty (not that that really matters). It has a lifetime HEPA that can be cleaned and reused (nice considering the Hoovers HEPA is 30 bucks a shot). It is bagless-some people don't like this, but I do. I don't like having to buy new bags all the time-with a dog, bags fill up quickly. It comes with some spot cleaning powder and spray. It also comes with extra attachments.
The cons: it's a little heavy. I found it to be a lot more noisy than the Hoover. It doesn't have a light and doesn't seem to have edge cleaning. The owners manual is useless. It took me a long time to figure out how to put it together and where the attachments went. Instead of making normal carpet marks, it leaves marks that look like rakes.
Overall, I'd say it's a good vacuum. I'm certainly glad I didn't pay the full price of $550 because I don't think it's worth that. I still think the $319 that I paid is a lot, but hopefully, even though it is reconditioned, it will still last for a long time.
 Simply AMAZING.. worth every penny!! April 24, 2008

I have a large German Shepherd who sheds alot at various times of the year. She broke my last vacuum, so I needed a new one. I was hesitant about Dyson because they are so expensive, well all I can say is it is the most amazing appliance I've ever bought. It made my carpet look new. The add on is great also. I am amazed every time I use this vacuum at how it makes my carpet look new and gets every little bit of dust hair and whatever.

Since reading pretty much every review out there on the Dyson, I must say that I was expecting it to be the best vacuum out there and to perform great. After it's first use I must say, it easily surpasses my already high expectations. This thing is for real! A day after vacumming the living room, hallway, and 2 bedrooms with an Oreck XL, I ran across the same area with the Dyson. Amazingly so, it filled up nearly 2 canisters of filth that the Oreck left behind. It;s crazy and kind of gross seeing what this thing can pick up. There were 2 witnesses to this feat and they will both be placing their orders for one soon. I've had experience with Kirby's, Hoover's Windtunnel, Electrolux and the Oreck XL and they all sadly pale in comparison to the Dyson. If your on the fence about buying one of these, don't hesitate. This thing is amazing!

I work at a dyson service center as part of our W-C services. Lots of people like these things and its all marketing. Filters clog, cyclones clog and are always internally filled with dust. Hepa exhaust goes bad and u don't even realize Your spewing dust. Pre-motor filter clogs all the time. Brushroll is cheap plastic, connected to clutch nearly impossible to change two belts wich are flat not cogged and dont last. Says on box not for delicate carpets, wont work on any shag. I don't recommend this vacuum to anyone with pets or allergys, don't recommend to anyone.
lives up to the hype!!! April 17, 2008
