Do Not Buy This Machine |
|
This machine is impossible for hard floors. Dyson service was worthless. A total waste of money! |

Dyson Absolute |
Impressed at first, but not so much after a few years. Highlights include:
1) Bagless system saving landfills and pocketbooks on bags.
2) Pretty good job on hard floor surfaces.
3) Got to give it props for style and advertising.
4) Does better than our Hoover Windtunnel on hardwood and tile floors.
5) We've never had to unclog the hose from pet hair.
What's not so great:
1) The plume of dust and debris glimmering in the light of the kitchen while emptying the cartridge
2) Even after washing the filter, we're greeted by the musty dander smell from our dogs as it runs though the system. The Absorb supplement helps, but we usually light a candle or two after vacuuming.
3) Detachment wand is cumbersome and brakes suction near the base of the hose when maneuvered for reasonable angles.
4) It's ridiculously hard to push on our rugs, including our large area rugs. Also, the brush agitator shuts off when it bogs down making it even harder to push and pull.
5) Although the canister has a quick release button on the handle for emptying, it's really not all that convenient to empty with pet hair. Hair get's stuck near the top of the chamber. So instead of simply pressing the button, we have to remove the outer canister to clear the top of the canister.
6) The canister doesn't hold near as much as a bag, so instead of changing a back once or twice a month, it has to be emptied 2-3 times in one cleaning at our house.
Not sure there's a "perfect" vacuum out there. We got the Windtunnel before the Dyson because of the good reviews in Consumer Reports, but it was not good at picking up loose debris like dust and dead grass tracked in by our pets on our wood and tile floors. Also, the hose was often getting clogged on the Windtunnel. My mom's Kirby cleans really well on carpet and hard floors, but changing attachments takes longer than my patience level affords. It also weighs a ton.
My wife, who has back trouble, helped her friend when she was bedridden with complications. Her friend had an Oreck, and she thought it was easy to maneuver and it seemed to do a good job, so that will probably be our next try. They have two dogs, but their house doesn't smell like it. The advertising pretty much tells you that it needs a "tune-up" once a year which, from what I can tell, involves changing the belt. Not terribly excited about having to do maintenance on a vacuum that often. But, it may not be too bad of a trade off for clean floors, ease of use, and a house that doesn't smell like dogs dander. |

This vacuum "sucks" |
|
I can't possibly say enough good things about my Dyson. Yes, it costs a little more but will last and last. It will also get stuff up that other vacuums miss. I love being able to use the accessories without the beater brush turning. You can't go wrong with the Dyson! |

Amazing! |
Okay, it's new and I've only had it a week, so I'll have to come back in a few months and review it again and see if I still like it as much; however, so far, it is an amazing vacuum.
The price is a bit much, but if it continues to perform as well as it has, it's worth the price, easily.
I bought it to replace my Hoover Windtunnel as my main vacuum. The Hoover is a good vacuum, and probably one of the best ones for suction that I've used, until now. After using the new Dyson dc17 Asthma and Allergy vacuum, I realize that I was not really vacuuming until now.
Oh my goodness; the amount of stuff the Dyson picks up is probably twice what my Hoover picks up. To be fair, my Hoover is old, but I maintain it well; but still...wow!
I usually sneeze or cough when I use my other vacuums (I have 3 others besides the new Dyson), but do not have that problem after using the Dyson.
I find that the dust bin canister disconnects, empties and cleans, and reconnects very easily.
I can see, though, that the Dyson is going to need a bit more attention than my other vacuums, because it picks up so much. I can already see that I'll have to clean the rotary brush more often, and empty and clean the dust bin more frequently. The extra maintenance is not a problem, though, as long as the Dyson does its job well, which is still to be determined, and I will be back in a few months to update my review.

Waste of money!!!!! |
|
We caved to the hype about Dyson, and boy, what a mistake. Two boys, two dogs, and two years later I am on the search for a new vacuum. I have lost suction completely in the hose, and have to cut the fibers off the brush each time I use it. I have a braided rug that is ruined thanks to not being able to adjust the pile height myself. Every time I vacuumed I thought, "what a waste" and would go over the carpets extra time just to be certain it was somewhat clean. I would be happier to replace it if it hadn't cost so much to begin with; a terrible purchase. |
