I'll never have another one
Dyson vacuum cleaner. Friend of mine threw his in the trash and yesterday I set mine out at the curb. Nothing but a piece of junk.

Our Dyson is at least 15 years old and going strong. I have replaced both hoses once and it went right back to like new.
The wife unit bought a Shark vacuum for the vacation home. It works very well also.0 -
Another vote for Shark. Works great (Have a pack of critters-varies between 2 and 5 dogs-to keep up with.) and is priced reasonably. 0 -
I have 3 and all are great. The only vacuum that will handle 2 golden retrievers hair.
I have had one for 15 years the other for 5 and they run great.0 -
Got a Dyson V7 for Xmas. Does a good job in my estimation but the battery will only go 25 minutes at best. I use it primarily for stairs. 0 -
still useing mamas old hoover upright from 1962[^] 0 -
OLD Dysons are great. We wore out two of them because of our pets. The new ones.........JUNK. Avoid anything made in the last 5 years from Dyson.

Not a bad idea, clean the carpets and freshen the air at the same time...[:D]0 -

Fixed it for you.
Two family members bought them and they worked great but broke within the first few months. They described them as fragile.0 -
I have a commercial cleaning service, we go through some vacuums best so far a Hoover old school with bag, worst for the money Dyson. 0 -
Our Dyson Animal has worked fine for many years. Had to replace a belt several years ago. You have to do a little maintenance now and then, clean the dirt out, replace a roller, etc. We got the V6 stick cordless several years ago and my wife uses it more than the big one. Yesterday I replaced the cannister on it because the catch broke on the old one.
My niece got one from someone who was going to toss it. I cleaned it out for her and replaced a belt and it works fine.
They are worth repairing and maintaining, I can't believe people throw them away but it's that kind of world I guess.0 -
replaced our Dyson with a Miele...never looked back. That was about 5 years or so ago. 0 -
I picked up a Kirby Ultimate G, with all attachments, and shampoo system for $60. It's a beast. 0 -

This is very true. I used to love them. They are utterly worthless pieces of complete junk anymore.
Using a Shark now that is not much better.
Considering going back to Filter Queen. Not sure about that move given how much I loathe operating canister vacs.0 -

Considering how my gas powered blower manages to suck the two cycle exhaust into the air stream, I wholly endorse this cleaning and air freshening approach.0 -
We like the Dyson. We hear good things about the Shark as well. 0 -
Nothing sucks like Electrolux, if any of you old guys remember them.[:)] 0
