anyone own a dyson vacuum

[baddest434]

the wife wants to buy a new vacuum and is interested in a dyson vacuum. are they really worth the money compared to say a bissell or something along those lines. the dysons are from 350 to over 500 bucks. i know this thread sucks but..........:mrgreen: thanks for any advise.

Got one off woot.com and is the best vacuum I have ever owned. IMO its well worth the money for it.

I have an extra EUREKA WHIRLWIND 15" Cleaning Path/Self Propelled 12 Amp with the Bagless Cyclonic System. It comes with all kinds of accessories attached to it and works fine. My mother-in law just gave my wife the exact same one she had because she now has a cleaning lady. Could save you some money since I'am only asking $40.00. PM if interested.:nod:

I was just gonna say I saw them on woot.com not too long ago.

They had one at my (soon to be) old office, and it worked good from what I saw. The only other thing I know about them is one of my dogs always howls at the Dyson commercial with the squeaky old vacuums lol.

Yeah, my wife has an Oreck XL upright and the shoulder carried one as well. The are ugly as hell to me but they work great.

Ditto for both. Shoulder carry one is good for stairs.

If you have pets with lots of hair (long haired cats or dogs) try to get the vacuums that don't have the rotating brushes at the bottom. They'll get all wrapped up in hair and break the belt that drives the brushes. Use the beltless, brushless vacuums.

thanks guys but she's hell bent on getting a dyson. so i guess she wins. lol

My mom's got one and it must be good. She was having me disassemble/reassemble the old one almost once a month with crap stuck in it

my family used to have an oreck xl, then mom got the Dyson "Pet" version. It truely is a kick ass vacuum. it not only cleans well, but its easy to empty, the hose is built-in/attached and really simple to go from upright to hose, PLUS if you get large crap stuck in the tubes, every component from the brush system to the dirt canister is incredibly easy to remove and clear an obstruction out of. get it. you will be glad you did.

EDIT: wanted to add that we have a german shepard that sheds like crazy. this thing has helped keep the mess much more under control.

agree with all the good remarks about the dyson. i have the pet one but i must say its not the lightest of vacuums. i would say thats my wifes only complaint.
