Dyson Vacuums

We have the V8 Animal cordless. This lightweight vacuum is very convenient and easy to use. It does a credible vacuuming job on both carpets and hard floors, especially on high power. But note that it will only run about 10 minutes on high. On regular it goes for at least 30 minutes - enough to do the entire house (upstairs and downstairs) plus the garage. Pretty impressive.

We were given our Dyson Ball Multi Floor vacuum as a hand me down. The Cadillac of vacuums, in my less than knowledgeable opinion of any vacuum. As someone with back issues, I was hoping it would self propel itself and hover from tile to rug and back, effortlessly. Leaving nothing but like new, expensive looking thick carpet type lines behind me. I wouldn’t have to whiff the wretched burnt smell while one foot on the corner of an end of a throw rug in the kitchen, while my Dyson just knows... up and over... onto tile, keep going.

We have 2 very hairy dogs and 2 vacuum cleaners that we enjoy for different reason. One is the "Pet" Dyson, the other is a Shark Ion with removable batteries. The Dyson definitely removes more dog hair on the first pass. The Shark removes hair, too, but not as much, and only after making several passes. The Dyson has different speeds which is nice when vacuuming cheaper carpets like bathroom rugs so they won't get sucked up. The Shark has only one speed. But with the Dyson, you must continuously hold the trigger while vacuuming. Don't care for that. With the Shark, you press one button to turn on and off.

Dyson is a great company. My mom always complained about how hard her vacuum was to push and that she got older. I really was looking for a vacuum that was really lightweight yet powerful for her because she has arthritis and I could not find one. When the Dyson battery power came out it blew my mind. I was so happy that I could finally buy her a vacuum. I bought one for myself first. I wanted to make sure that she would like it because I know how picky she is. She really is a clean freak and I was surprisingly ecstatic when using it. It met all and I mean all of her complaints on her other vacuums. I mean she must have spent tens of thousands of dollars on the highest quality vacuums when I was a kid growing up. I was finally able to get her her vacuum of her dreams. She always literally pictured this vacuum. She explained it and next thing you know it was on the market. It was actually a prayer answered. Unbelievable.

It has three power settings, economy, medium and boost and are switchable with a button push. In economy mode, the power is a bit better than a typical hand vac and a charge lasts 74 minutes. Medium is almost as strong as a corded vacuum and the charge lasts about 40 minutes. Boost mode is as strong or stronger than a corded floor vacuum and the charge lasts only 9 minutes. I used the Dyson mostly in medium mode and was able to clean dirt and long hair with no issue. I was also able to pick up gravel from a car floor easily.

I purchased the Dyson V8 last week. It worked very well for the first 2-3 days. Out of the blue it stopped working (despite being charged) and the garbage bin latch would not open (although it had been fine the first few days). I had registered the machine with Dyson when purchased, so contacted Dyson support. They were terribly unhelpful, and refused to offer either a repair or refund option... they just kept sending me the generic instruction videos!! I was truly shocked...until I started reading all the bad experiences with Dyson US. I really urge you not to buy Dyson, terrible service. (I purchased the V8 at the local Bed Bath and Beyond, but registered with Dyson.)

I’ve owned Kirby vacuums and Hoover vacuums. Without a doubt my Dyson stowaway is the best. I’ve owned for 5 years now, and the suction is as good as the day I bought it. I had my doubts at first, because of the lightweight plastic. This thing is indestructible. Last week it fell down the stairs 10 steps and showed no signs of any damage. It’s easy to service, and no vacuum bags needed. I can’t imagine a better vacuum.

My Dyson V10 died halfway through its 2 year warranty period. Dyson don't answer their service phone but send you interminable texts and emails seeking the same info (like Serial number and the problem) over and over again. After hours of misinformation and argument (and after they accepted IN WRITING that the warranty was valid) they agreed we need a new machine but they now claim they are "out of stock" despite still having that item for sale on their website and at resellers like Amazon. Dyson products are expensive junk. They are trading on their previous good name. I have the BBB on the case and if you look around you will find hundreds of other cases like mine on the www. DO NOT BUY!

Professional cleaners for 25+ years. Used every kind of vac! A broom works better! Dysons are too big n clunky, don't pick up well, charging ones lose power too fast! TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! Get a Bissell or Electrolux!

I recently purchased Dyson vacuum and it came with the wrong parts (2 of the tools were for the old version and did not fit). I contacted Dyson with detailed description and pictures for the issue. I have not heard them more than 2 days and then, they started ask questions one by one on daily basis. Each day replying a question and next day another comes. This lasted almost a week and they run out of questions and started asking same questions. I replied them as, "You already asked these questions and I replied. I am replying you again but please do not ask the same questions over and over again. Please refer to my previous emails before asking and you already have all my contact details, product details, where did I bought, when did I bought, etc."
