About This Brand

Colorful styling, innovative features, and a splashy advertising campaign featuring its namesake owner and designer have helped Dyson quickly become a major player in the U.S. Ranging in price from about $300 to $600, Dyson vacuums have helped increase the average price paid for uprights. Canisters have joined that lineup. Hand vacs are also part of the mix. The brand is available nationwide through major mass merchants such as Target, Best Buy, and Sears.

Comment:
It was well recommended to us.<br />Used in house with 2 cats, 2 dogs, rabbit.<br />Different look that the old canister, kinda cool.<br />Seems like amazing suction power. Sucks so hard it really cleans. Please turn loose of my rug!<br />21 foot cord is long enough for one room and not across two rooms.<br />Builds static charge on the cleaning head and you can vacuum the vacuum.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

A few of us in the family have Dyson Animals for our personal homes. They're dependable and consistently powerful. I find them easy to empty and clean. I love to use mine to vacuum my car, much better than the gas station. You pay for it, but they work and they'll last you.<br /><br />Four stars instead of five b/c I haven't tried everything out there, but this is the vacuum I've had since the Reagan-era Electrolux
How long have you owned it:
More than six months

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I will never buy a Dyson again because it is not worth the price. It costs so much for nothing. Before I had a Shop Vac and this vacuum had a much better suction than my Dyson and it cost a third of the price. The only good thing about Dyson is their TV commercial.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
