dyson is nice...but i have to tell you, miele is better. no loss of suction and almost 100% of particles kept in vacuum.
if you MUST have dyson...the dc24 model is cheaper and nice. a hint: look for a sale at somewhere like best buy, or if yuou have cosco or sams club, you can find it fot less and more attachments may come w it. there is a good chance you can find a new one for about the same price. also an idea-- look in the change of address forms paper packet-- usps-- around here there are usually LOwes home improvent coupons for a % or $$ off and they have dysons, make your own sale!

FYI uprights are better for carpet, but if you have mostly HW etc a canister would be better. and go to a vacuum store, you can try dysons vs miele if you want!!

I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to open this thread. Moving from a house of all hardwoods to all carpet, we so badly need a new vacuum. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've vacuumed in 6 months. It's disgusting. But our current vacuum has a cord that is like 10 feet long, has a small canister, has lost suction, pieces are falling off...
I have been trying for a while to convince DH to let me spend the money on a Dyson. We do have a dog, but I'm not 100% sure I want the animal. I have talked to other pet owners, and they love their's, pet version or not. Everyone raves about Dyson customer service, too. I found an amazing deal through a local small appliances retailer recently, but DH said no. I shall prevail though! You all have inspired me!

Well, my dyson is on the way! I got a refurbished DC17 animal from ebay. The store also gives a 2.5yr warranty after the dyson 6mo (they only have 6mo on refurbished). I wanted an older one as I've read lots of reviews that the newer ones aren't as great suction-wise. It came w/ all the other attachments too! I can't wait til it gets here. lol The best part is - my parents bought it as my birthday gift! We have more carpet than hard floor now. The livingroom, diningroom and kitchen are hard floors but we have area rugs. All 4 bedrooms, the landing, stairs and a HUGE wide hallway are all carpet. I left my old dinky vacuum at our neighbors house when we moved because DH was suppose to go back up a few days later to pick up the rest of the stuff and he hasn't made it there yet. You have NO idea how badly I need to vacuum and scrub my floors! It should be here in a few days :) |

I've owned uprights for years but have been debating getting a canister for my next vacum. I know uprights are suppose to have more suction but it's such a pain not being able to vacuum under furniture w/o moving things. My old hoover doesn't seem to suck as well as it used to. Mary Beth, does your dyson work under beds/sofa? How does it work going from HW floor to carpet? (ETA) do you have to turn the brush off and adjust the height going to HW Edited by groupp - 14 Feb 2012 at 1:55pm |

I have a Kenmore Progressive and I too was torn about this one and the Dyson. My previous vacuum was also a Kenmore canister and it lived for almost 7 years through (though if I took better care of it, it would've lasted longer). In the end I liked the attachments with the Kenmore and the fact that DIY repairs are a cinch. Plus at Sears the Kenmore with the 5 year Master Protection plan it totals $482.
