I no longer vacuum, I Dyson! August 29, 2010 MOboy I am an engineer and love the way all the little parts fit together and pull apart. The assembly instructions were very good and I was Dysoning in just under 10 minutes. I have one dog in a one bedroom apt and after I vacuumed with my old vacuum I came back with the Dyson and had to empty the collection area twice (very easily done btw). The unit was also several dB quieter then my previous vacuum. You can actually carry on a conversation with another person why running the Dyson. The unit is constructed of a lot of plastic but everything seems sturdy enough to make it for at least 5 years or longer. The one thing that I didn't like about the plastic body is that it does develop quite a bit of static electricity (all those dust particles whizzing by) so you need to take off the attachment (easily done as well) and vacuum the head of the vacuum after you are done. Also the transition from carpeted floors and hard surfaces was very easy. Great product and I would buy again... well in 5 years if I had to.
Wonderful Product August 28, 2010 GoldenOnionSabres This vacuum cleaner is simply awesome. It cleans much better than any vacuum I have ever used. The amount of dirt it picks out of the carpet and that goes into the canister is simply astounding. The canister is easy to empty and will empty without the dust cloud that other bagless vacuums create when emptied. The vacuum is very easy to maneuver on both my high pile carpet and the low pile carpet and cleans great on both. I also like the fact that the vacuum is fairly wide-it seems to save time over smaller vacuums. The cord is extremely long which is helpful for going around furniture and into other rooms. Some negatives are that the long pipe is hard to put back into the hose for storage when done. Also, the crevice tool that comes with the vacuum isn't straight which can be a nuisance. Overall, the incredible cleaning action of the Dyson DC-14 makes up for the few shortcomings. Now that I own a Dyson, I will never own another brand of vacuum. It really is true that you get what you pay for, and when it's the cleanliness of my house at stake, I think it's worth it to spend the extra money to get the best product.
Worth the money August 26, 2010 Amazonbug This is a very powerful vacuum cleaner. I own Dyson DC14 for 3 weeks now, and I am very satisfied with it. So it is more useful to mention potential issues. First, it is a bit heavy but very easy to move around thanks to its nice design and wheels. So, as long as you don't try to lift it up to carry around that is not a problem. Second, using the small heads (dusting brush, nozzle etc.) requires a little more work for this vacuum compared to canister vacuums. Third, it would be great if it had a auto-rewind power cord. In Dyson DC14 you need to wind the power cord on holding bar and it usually comes off as you pull and push the machine around. This may be a standard issue for many upright vacuums though. Overall the item is fairly priced at 280 bucks and it works well.
this thing actually cleans my rugs and floors August 19, 2010 E.Dickenson easy to use, good quality, my only complaint is that I got no exercise returning it to the store, unlike many others. The machine is a pleasure because it works.
Do your research first! August 14, 2010 "Sam" (ME) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Anyone who thinks Dysons are well made has never seen a nice vacuum. The plastic is cheap and they are EXPENSIVE to repair. Also, I suggest looking into the health of using a bag-less vacuum. The whirlwind action grinds the dirt particles into a super fine powder. This powder clogs the motor and goes into the air that you and your family breathe. The whirling action also serves to fluff up the dirt, making it look like it picks up more than it actually does.
The Dyson does have a lot of suction, but that is not the only feature to look for in a vacuum. Quality is extremely important. If you have pets or long hair you want a vacuum with a metal brush roll (beater bar), and enclosed end-caps. You also want fairly stiff bristles on the brush roll. A vacuum with ABS plastic will hold up longer than other types of plastic. But, please, for the health of you and your family...buy a vacuum with a bag!
Don't buy a vacuum because you saw an advertisement on TV or because your friend has one. If you can find a nice vacuum store, go in and talk to the employees about a vacuum that fits YOUR current lifestyle. Ask to try them, compare the different features. A nice vacuum will make your home a healthier environment. This is especially important if you have any little ones crawling around. Also, if it is important to you, there are some very nice vacuums made in the United States.
