Weird thread alert. I love Dyson Vaccums

[Giantsfootball10]

That's all.

1. Hells yeah. We use ours every day

Ok, every other day on the concrete floor.

I was appalled when I saw the price a few years ago, but we've got our money's worth.

2. Whenever I vacuum the living room

carpet upstairs, I'm vacuuming the downstairs carpet at the same time. Kidding, but my Dyson does have a lot of power.

[REP]

3. Me too. They suck hard.

Had mine for 5 years - still sucking like day 1.

4. We got ours as a gift from the kids,

it had a five year warranty and we were having some problems with it. They paid for us to send it back, fixed it and treated us wonderfully. Even had customer service in the states.

After we got it back the hose cracked, my husband called then and they said that the hose wasn't under warranty but they sent us one anyway. Couldn't have been more satisfied.

My only complaint is because it's the pet model it's heavy and I really don't care for the hose and how that works but suction is wonderful.

5. Mine gets a workout

from two German Shepherds and lots of dust.

It's a Dyson Animal. The thing is great. It gets up dirt and hair I can't even see on the rugs.

6. I've heard good and bad things

Right now it's out of my price range but the vacuum that I do have is horrible. I have been wondering if it was one of those things that is worth saving up for. I've heard from others that it didn't live up to the hype, so I'm hesitant. My parents have an old Kirby that still works 31 years later and sucks so hard the carpet is lifted. I'd like something like THAT, but that weighs about 1/4 of what that old beast weighs

8. i bought one in 2007 from Sears, a kenmore...

was the highest rated vacuum at consumer reports at the time...

best vac. ever. we're talking 3-cats-and-dog-hair kinda good.


it was only 200 plus vac bags every once in a while.

15. I just bought a new vacuum and I love it!

I researched and agonized and flirted endlessly w/various Dysons but in the end I bought this guy:



It's a Shark Navigator Lift-Away Pro. I was about ready to pull the trigger and buy a Dyson online when my old vacuum died on a day when I really needed to get the house clean, so I had to run out and buy one locally. The Shark had popped up frequently in my research and was well reviewed, so I went for it.

It has super-great suction; it's light and maneuverable and it looks a little like R2D2 which pleases the Star Wars-loving mr beac. The dust canister has a latch on the bottom to dump all the stuff out so it's relatively mess-free.

And it has a five-year warranty and "never clog" technology, just like the Dyson, so I am optimistic.

Good luck in your search. It's overwhelming and I am probably lucky that fate forced my hand or I might still be "deciding" on a new one and vacuuming with my old and dreadful one.



ETA: I paid just over $200 with tax.

7. Love mine. We live in a townhouse

and it's a small cannister type, and is perfect for all those stairs. No bag. Good suckage. And I NEVER like vacuum cleaners.

17. I have a feeling

there is going to be one of those threads asking us to replace a thread title word with "suckage"

[bluesbassman]

9. Good news! They have a 12 step group for you now. Their motto is: "We don't suck".

Just a joke. I have a Dyson D16, and I love it too.

10. Hey....What a Cowinky-dink. I just got one....

For Mother's Day. It's a refurbished model, the DC14. I paid just under $200 for it on Overstock.com, and free delivery. The refurbished vacuum cleaners are warranted for six months, so if anything goes wrong, it probably will in that time. When I unpacked it yesterday, it looked brand new.

Funny thing was, I didn't noticed it but the setting was on bare floors, instead of carpet. And it still out-performed any of my other vacs; Eureka, Dirt Devil and Hoover, to shame! I'm disappointed I have such a small house, I want to vacuum some more! This is the BEST vacuum cleaner I've ever owned, and it's quieter than any of the others, too! I love Dyson vacuums, too.

11. I am *this* close to ordering one

on the strength of this thread alone...

[one_voice]

12. My son and husband got me one...

for Christmas...I absolutely love it. One of the best presents I've ever gotten. Well worth the money.

[emilyg]

13. Best in the world.

14. I purchased a refurb Dyson vac from woot.com a few months ago.

It is the best vacuum I have ever used. Even though it was a refurb it looked like new when I took it out of the box. Even had that new appliance smell. I also love that the filter is washable.

My previous vacuum was a bagless but the filter had to be replaced about every 3rd time it was used. And the filters were $18 each.

Now I want to upgrade to the Dyson ball vacuum or the Animal.

[IcyPeas]

16. I'm going back to a vacuum with a bag...

I find cleaning the cylinder an awful, dirty, dusty mess. a bag is so easy to pop out and change. And they have hepa filters too.

[Godhumor]

18. Own a Dyson Ball and love it

Every time I vacuum is its amazing the amount of cat fur that gets sucked up. Expensive but one of the best home things I have ever bought.

19. My aunt has a Dyson

and my wife goes over to help her clean up on occasion (she recently had some surgeries and still has some back trouble) and EVERY time she comes back she won't stop raving about that damn Dyson.


I'm getting Dyson ball envy.



Do you think she's hinting? I suck at getting hints.
