Macy's DC14 All Floors Upright Vacuum Review

Excellent value!

"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 apart easily for cleaning, and the beater brush's metal frame allows me to slide a small scissors along to cut away threads and hair that wrap around it (with four long-haired females, this happens often enough!).

By the way, Dyson's only product is vacuum cleaners, and it has gone international over the last 10 years. I was looking for a product that would be around for years, as our previous vacuum's manufacturer quit making their vacuums only a few years after I purchased it (so parts were no longer available).

What initially sold me on the Dyson was the almost unanimous praise it received from consumers. I'm glad to add my praise to the list!"
