| About This Brand |
|---|
Dyson is a relatively new brand in the U.S. market. With a very effective advertising campaign featuring its namesake owner and designer, Dyson entered the U.S. with a bang, quickly garnering a competitive share of sales. Ranging in price from $300 to $600, Dyson vacuums single-handedly increased the average price paid for uprights and created a new top-pricing tier in the mass market. Dyson focuses on innovation, technology, and design, and has connected with status-seeking consumers, making it the “It” brand of vacuums. Originally producing only uprights, Dyson has recently introduced a canister and a hand vacuum. The brand is available nationwide through major mass merchants such as Target, Best Buy, and Sears. |

Comment:
USELESS FOR PET HAIR, THE WORST EVER VACUUM FOR PET HAIR. VERY HEAVY. VERY POWERFULL SO MUCH SO, IT GETS STUCK ON THE CARPET AND WONT MOOVE...THEREFORE IT WILL BRAKE YOUR BACK. AFTER VACUUMING, CLEAN THE CARPET WITH YOUR OWN HANDS THE PET HAIR WILL STILL BE THERE. THE BRUSH IS SO HARD IT WILL DESTROY YOUR CARPET. YOU WILL BE FINE ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE NO CARPET LEFT TO VACUUM!
How long have you owned it:

Comment:
I purchased on of there two piece pull behind canister models because it was said to be the best. This thing is a garbage.<br /> I have several pets in the house. Cats, Dogs etc. This machine power head clogs every chance it gets. I spend more time unclogging the power head and the intake port to the dust bin rather than vacuuming. <br />I know why they claim to have super suction. These ports (or choke points) are no smaller than your pinkie. Not designed for heavy vacuuming.<br /> On top of this because of the power head to dust bin hose they used and the way its attached to both the power head and the pull behind collector bin/motor unit you will have to go to anger management classes after you vacuum the house. For my hard earned dollar I will stick with Kenmore.
