After many years of denying that any vacuum could pick up all of the hair and dirt in our carpets, we finally decided to spend the money on a Dyson. Our carpets are used very hard and the combination of cat hair, dirt and dust from our pellet and coal ...

Pros: Good suction, good tools, good design excellent brush. All around works well.
Cons: Trouble traversing the "lip" between uneven floor surfaces. Can't lie down and get under furniture.

So far I'm happy with my Dyson DC-17 Animal even though $500 does feel like a lot to pay. It's got powerful suction, a good design, versatile tools, and a robust brush that really gets the grit and hair out of my carpets. Let's get the bad stuff out ...

Cons: no retractable cord, too many trips outside to empty the canister, no bag for accessories

Imagine using a product that didn't get the job done and getting so frustrated that you were determined to design a new technology and design for a very effective cyclone vacuum. Imagine taking your idea to the major vacuum manufacturers and them ...

Pros: Design, suction, hidden telescoping hose, bottom-emptying collection bin, lifetime HEPA filter, NO BAGS!
Cons: Too pricey for some folks. Hose is not as flexible as I would like.

Let me start off by stating that I know a thing or two about vacuuming. For two years when I was in high school, I worked as a maintenance guy for a health/racquetball club, and my main duty, obviously, was to keep the place clean. This involved ...

Pros: Easy to use, great for pet households, no bags to buy.
Cons: Maneuverability is sometimes not the best. Dust can blow in your face at emptying.

First off, I would like to congratulate you for reaching this page. I want people to know about Dyson, because they actually work, last, and clean like no other vacuum cleaner. Let’s see, I currently own 3 different, and expensive Hoover vacuum ...

Pros: Powerful and consistent suction, Advanced features, Condensed design.
Cons: Expensive, No light, Somewhat firm hose.

First let me say I am thrilled with this vacuum. I replaced a Bissel (not the Healthy Home which I compare the Dyson to in this review) and the difference in performance is amazing. Both are "12 amp" vacuums, but the Dyson is far superior. The ...

Pros: It does not lose suction and it really works!
Cons: Takes some getting used to and can be unwieldy and intimidating at first.

Well, I have had my Dyson for a week and have vacuumed twice with it now. I am glad I did not write this review after the first time I used it because it does take a bit of getting used to and can be a bit unwieldy at times. However, after the second ...

Pros: Cleans carpets ok.
Cons: Useless attachments, not good on bare floors, much better machines out there for the money.

I have read nearly all of the many reviews on the Dyson vacuum. I'm not writing this review to talk negative about this machine or to praise it, but rather give a logical review and hope it can help make a vacuum purchase decision that is best for you. ...

Pros: Powerful suction, no bags. An amazing feat of marketing.
Cons: One of the most over-hyped, poorly designed things in the great wide world.

I'm sure that the main reason people buy a vacuum is to clean things. Lots of reviews here praise the Dyson for it's suction power, but that is only one part of the equation. In my opinion, the Dyson fails miserably as a design for cleaning things. ...

Pros: Amazing.
Cons: On Board attatchments not very good. except for mini turbine head.

Pros: Powerful rotating bristles, powerful suction, cleaning power.
Cons: Price, documentation and small canister capacity.

"What's the big deal about, it's just a vacuum cleaner?" That's what I said after looking at the Dyson DC17 in the store. Yeah right, a $549 vacuum cleaner that is. C'mon, is ANY vacuum cleaner really worth 500 bucks? Oh no, it's not just ...

Pros: Clean easy canister emptying, incredible suction, long reach hose, hard floors & carpets, no filters2change
Cons: Poor documentation

My review of the Dyson DC17 Animal: I can't believe I spent so much money on a vacuum cleaner, but... I love this machine. Let me count the ways... - Super long cord. I can vacuum nearly my entire upstairs (2 bedrooms and a 20x20 loft) without ...

Pros: Powerful, on-board attachments, durable, very well designed, and 5-year warranty.
Cons: Clear plastic will dull, air powered brush is so-so.

We have had our DC07 for about 3 years and decided we were ready to upgrade. If you have researched the Dyson family of vacuums, you know that there is a price swing of over $100 between the DC07 and DC17 series. Can I say it is worth $100 more? So ...
