Tested in a home with 4 kids, 5dogs & a cat

Choley from ND

I vacuum a minimum of 2-3 times a day. Plus clean other people's homes. Needless to say we are hard on a vacuum cleaner! I had an old Electrolux that could no longer keep up, within the next year I ended up buying a total of 3 mid-priced vacuums-NONE of them worked well !!! THEN i found the Dyson, we have owned ours for 2 years now & it is still amazing. It has an extra long cord, I plug it in in 1outlet of our home and am able to vacuum the entire house, upstairs included, without unplugging it. The wand is attached and easy to use. My boys are no longer able to remove the wand to sword fight and loose it! Every spot on this vacuum where it could possible clog with hair or mistakenly sucked up things is easily removeable, it takes me 30secs to check the joints! The hose is clear so you can just look to see if you have a clog. It is easy to empty & does not loose suction as the canister fills! No banging dust out of a filter just to get it to suck. I wash the filter twice a year, and e … Read more

Excellent value!

JuliB8301 from Hortonville, WI

13 months of owning a DC14 has convinced me that I've received my money's worth and then some. First, the suction is amazing - especially the attachment suction. It does not weaken or quit, no matter how full the collection canister becomes. Second, switching between attachment and floor suction is a no-brainer - upright handle for attachment, reclined handle for floor. Third, I haven't had to buy a single bag, filter, or belt for this vacuum. The collection canister is large, clear, and easy to empty (the bottom drops open at the push of a button, so I stick the bottom into a plastic bag -very little mess!). The filter and case are washable (I am considering purchasing a second set so I can clean the filter and keep vacuuming). The belt is lifetime, which makes my husband happy! Fourth, the hose storage is very compact. I hated struggling with a hose as well as a vacuum, especially when carrying the vacuum up or down stairs. Fifth, maintenance is simple - the canister section comes ap … Read more

Dyson Bronze should be first in Consumer Report

Dyson Bronze should be first in Consumer Report

swfand52 from Houston, TX

I have always been a firm believer in getting the best vacuum possible for getting and keeping carpets clean. I needed a new vacuum, Rainbow was gone. I wanted to buy one again that was going to last years. I wasnt going to be an impluse buyer even though I had tossed my old faithful. I did my research and read everything I could. In the end I based my purchase on Consumer Report, and bought their "best". I got it home, couldnt wait to use it, and was sadly disappointed. The only way it would vacuum was the attachment for bare floors. This was awkward in that the extension hose was wobbly and with the slightest amount of pressure. It wasnt made well, didnt preform and I knew wouldnt last. I returned it and a different saleman was working. He just said. "have you tried the Dyson?" "I have NEVER had 1 returned and they are great." I told him about Consumer Reports and that the Dyson didnt have the number # 1 rating. His comment was "and they never will, its from the UK!" "the machine is … Read more

Not just another disposable vacuum

Not just another disposable vacuum

Backyard Barry from Highland Park, IL

I was tired of throwing out vacuums every 3 years. I was immediately impressed with the quality and ingenuity of the design, as well as the strength and durability of the materials. While the design is not intuitive, once you figure out how things fit together, their very easy to do. This model has a better and easier way to use the extension wand/hose than the earlier model (DC 07). The lack of a "low reach" attachment on this package is a notable oversight. It's not a lightweight, but I expect that it will stay in my house for more than a short visit. Read more

Best Purchase

Best Purchase

Jason from Shakopee, MN

After the first use it was immediately apparent that this was a very worthwhile purchase. The carpet had been vacummed only 6 days earlier and after doing the same area with the Dyson the carpet looked nearly brand new. The canister had to be emptied (which is very easy and non-messy) and it had picked up carpet fibers the previous vacuum hadn't picked up. The suction is everything it is advertised to be with this product. My wife and I are kicking ourselves for not purchasing this sooner. We've already recommended this prodcut to family and friends.
