It's not that great working or picking up debris from floor or cleaning it out after use. For the expensive price don't know if would purchase it again. Would look at other makes and read up customer comments.

The cost to get a Dyson is astronomical but long lasting and great performance. I would like to see better thought put into being able to do stairs, upholstery, under the fridge. It's easy enough to roll around. It does leave marks on my furniture and cabinet edges where it bumps them as I use it. There are a couple of tubes I can't clear out or clean out. I'd like better accessibility to all tubes in case they are clogged or soiled. I love the unit but the price makes me consider something else next time I need one.

Dyson vac brush broke. Dyson was kind enough to send a "free" brush, despite the fact that the warranty I purchased did not cover the brush. The first one arrived within 2 weeks. Wrong brush. "Just go to UPS store and return it. We'll send you a new one." Sent me a new one, but still the wrong one: Just go to UPS and return brush wait for a new one. By the time that one came in, I had a new problem- vac won't start at all. Waited two more weeks, got a new charger... didn't do a thing!!! "NO worries," says Dyson, "Just return that one to UPS store, we'll send you a new one." Are you kidding me? Dyson's solution this time: go back to UPS (they know me by name now) return the entire unit, wait 7-10 business days, they'll look at it and let me know what's wrong with it. Who's idea of expert customer service is this? Worse part... on all 4 occasions there wasn't a single supervisor "available" to talk to me. This is NOT good customer service.

DC59 Cordless Vacuum. I was experiencing issues so I took it to a independent repair center. Older fellow advised it was the battery and these units are known for this. Call Dyson - they say it's the filter. Order a new filter for $40. Get the new filter and guess what - SAME PROBLEM. Call Dyson back. They can get me a new battery in a month for $120. INSANE! The vacuum is out of warranty but barely used. I have cordless drill batteries I have used for years that still run. Customer service person was so flippant. "Thanks for calling". Note - I put my name to be called back for a survey and surprise, surprise...no call. Don't want our survey numbers to look bad. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VACUUM. Good-bye Dyson!

I have a DC44. It picks up dust, but not a piece of rice. The dust container is difficult to empty and the roller is almost impossible to extract and clean. My Swiffer vacuum works just as well for floor cleaning.

I do love the suction on this vacuum, the only negative issue is the hose. It doesn't want to stretch out when you try to expand it. I have pinched my finger more than once on this hose but other than that works great compared to my Miele & Electrolux!

Dyson is a poor choice in vacuum cleaners. Dyson- Too expensive but worse than that for dust mites, bacteria, mold, fungus, and allergens. Dyson, never again! After you empty the canister and remove it to expose the cyclonic unit you'll notice behind the screen which wraps around the outside below the cyclonic head is trapped dust, dirt, bacteria, allergens and more. Now take the unit tap it/shake it over the sink or toilet and prepare to be amazed and disgusted. Dyson cautions against using water or liquid cleaners (disinfectants). If you can't use water or a liquid cleaner you are leaving a hotbed of dust, dust mites, mold, allergens, and bacteria.
If you chose to take this unit apart you'll need special tools and a lot of patience. Without taking it apart, It is impossible to clean inside the screens of the cyclone which traps so much dirt you won't believe it, I took photos of my sink with literally 1/2 thick pile of dust and ** coating the entire sink from top to bottom. Had to scoop it up to through into the toilet for fear of clogging the sink. The amount of unfiltered debris which remains causes me to question, "WHY Dyson?" Frankly, I will NEVER buy another Dyson. And as soon as I can afford a new vacuum, it is bags from here on out. Dyson is overpriced and does a poor job of filtering the dust and air captured and re-circulated by the machine. The purple filter is easy to wash clean but the remaining hidden dust inside the cyclone unit will turn your stomach and has a high potential to make you ill.

We have had a Dyson DC33 for about 5 years. While it is a bit heavy for use on stairs, it works great on floors, rugs, and carpets. The bagless feature is outstanding! So easy to empty, and it is amazing how much dirt, dog hair, dust, etc is sucked into the container. All the pieces easily snap together, and the overall unit is extremely sturdy. It is the best vacuum we have ever had, and we've had many of the other brands.

Dyson Animal, bought 6 to 7 years ago. Didn't like it when we bought it (wife's pick and I do all the vacuuming). Dirty filthy container, have to take it apart to get all the fuzzy dust out. Filter is washable but clogs in a heartbeat. Can't go to Lowe's, Walmart, Home Depot or anywhere to get parts (like belts or new filter). Have to be ordered through Dyson (totally stupid). Attachments came with it but wife lost them and they cost an arm and a leg and your first born to buy replacements. Save your money, they are way overrated.

I appreciate that I don't have to buy bags for this, the filter is easy to clean once you find it, and that it is compact. However, I do not like the hose connection figuration so that one pulls the canister with the hose as it is.

The Dyson is a great vacuum especially if you have pets. It has great suction and like the cup to empty instead of a bag saves you money. I feel the price was a lot but for the experience with Dyson I have had it for years. I wish my model was lighter but love the fact that you can vacuum stairs with long wand.

As a dog owner, 2 German Shepherds, we constantly have tumbleweeds blowing across our tile floor downstairs. Our second floor is carpet, which hides a lot of dog hair. We were tired of buying bags for our Kenmore and wanted a newer canister made for pets. The Dyson DC39 was the ticket. Powerful, no bags and easy to store. Interesting test was we vacuumed the entire upstairs with the Kenmore, and bag was 1/4 full. We followed up with the Dyson and had to empty the dirt holder 3 times. Pretty gross what was being left behind after we thought of carpet was clean from the Kenmore.

Although I initially thought my Dyson was a bit TOO expensive, I now believe it was worth every penny. I have had it for five years and although I occasionally have a problem with it, it hasn't been anything I haven't been able to fix myself. Seriously. I can take that thing apart and put it back together without using tools other than my two hands. That's one of the things I love about it. Sometimes I still wish I had waited for a better sale price but overall, I am still happy with the purchase.

The Dyson vacuum is heavy, cumbersome and stiff. The retractable suction hose is stiff and hard to extend and for the price doesn't do much better than vacuums for one half or a third of the price. I keep lending it out to people hoping it will die soon and I can justify buying something else.

The Dyson was very good, then the end of its warranty came. Then it stopped working. The plug from the handle unit to the powerhead broke and when we checked into replacing it the cost would have been about half the cost of what it originally cost. So we have an expensive paperweight, we replaced it with a cheaper brand and are very happy with it.

Dyson is a trusted name in vacuums and I own the "Animal" by Dyson. It does OK from floor to carpet and you don't have to change a setting. I never run over or ruin the cord, like I do on my newer vac, which is not a Dyson. The "Animal" has been a good vacuum, but it is heavy and cumbersome.

I went to use my Dyson (DC33) this morning and when I plugged it in to the outlet sparks and smoke came out and my outlet is now black. I tried to plug it in to a different electrical outlet and it is not turning on. I immediately called Dyson customer service and was told I could take it to a repair shop but I would be responsible for the bill or they could give me 20% off of a new machine. I paid nearly 500.00 for this vacuum and would expect it to last longer than 5 years. Very disappointed with Dyson and I will not be purchasing another one.

My Dyson DC 41 had a bearing that seized and I contacted Dyson for the replacement part. I sent a picture of the exact part I needed. They tried to get me to return vacuum for 20% off retail price for a new vacuum. After 4th email, they told me what I knew from the beginning and said I needed the cleaner head and I would need to call in to order since not able to purchase online. This is a standard part and often needs replaced to make vacuum perform well. Not available to order online?? SMH! Anyway, said it could be purchased for 111.99 before taxes and shipping. I found same part on Amazon for $83. Customer service was not helpful at all. My suggestion is to research your problem online and order from Amazon. Skipping their poor customer service will save you a lot of time & hassle! I will not purchase a Dyson in the future simply because their customer service is horrible!

I just got off the phone with Stacy at Dyson, he listened to my problem, told me how it was his job to make sure I was completely satisfied with my product, streamlined the repair process and told me that if the repair didn't fix the problem that they would replace my vacuum cleaner. As he listened to me, it became clear to him that what I really needed was a new vacuum cleaner. He gave me an exchange number to give to UPS, instructed me to get a tracking number from them and let me know a new vacuum cleaner would be on the way as soon as I called back and gave them the tracking number which is EXACTLY what happened. Effortless, gracious customer service. Would recommend again and again.

I am experiencing the worst customer service I have had. Dyson had me at Hello in 2010 with my first vacuum purchase. They lost me forever. The customer service was excellent back then. I purchased another vacuum about 9 months ago and it was shipped to me defective. It blows debris to the left so I have to vacuum left to right just to keep from chasing too much debris. It also blew hot air on my feet and it is really hot and burns your skin when in sandals. I most often pick up debris as I run over it about 6 times and give up.
They made many changes that are poor changes. I am a month into getting it repaired and am experiencing the worst situation I have ever had with a company. I will never purchase another Dyson product as long as I live and would recommend that others buy another product and not one from this company. I was told when I shipped my vacuum to them that I would have it back in 7 to 10 days. A technician called me 16 days ago and told me there was nothing wrong with it. That it was suppose to perform this way. I didn't realize I bought a blower instead of a vacuum.
They have not shipped it back and I can't get CS to give me a confirmation number. I have waited on hold many times and get no answers. I tried Facebook and was told he called me and spoke with me but that must have been a voice in his head as that did not happen. I don't know when or IF I will get my vacuum back and based upon his original call it will be returned as I shipped it. Worthless. I do not recommend that anyone purchase a vacuum from this company. It is undoubtedly the worst experience I have had and I once loved Dyson but I am filled with so much disgust with the experience. I will never purchase from them again. It is a month later and not 7 to 10 days. I just want to vacuum my house. I guess I will go purchase a Shark. What a complete waste of $350!!!

Purchased a Cinetic big ball animal. We had an early model Dyson that finally bit the dust so we bought this on their website. Worst decision. Pros, Suction (when it’s not clogged). Cons, Constantly gets clogged and you have to take it all apart to figure out where it’s clogged. If you bend the hose even a little while using the wand to clean stairs or couches, it stops sucking. For some reason, it won’t stay upright unless you use a lot of force to get it to lock in the upright position. You cannot roll the vacuum on the back wheels because the head automatically drops to the floor. This is a design issue and was told it’s not meant to be wheeled, which means you have to carry this monstrosity around and it’s very heavy.
I have yet to dump the contents of the canister without having to stick my fingers in it to remove hair or whatever else is on there. Design flaw. There isn’t enough room between the center and the walls so it doesn’t matter how much or how little hair is in there, plan on digging it out with your fingers. What’s the point of attachments if you can’t attach them to the vacuum while not in use? Should I have a separate backpack to carry the attachments? The only attachment that actually fits in the one spot is the crevice attachment. If you try to attack the turbine, it won’t stay on. Eventually the part to hang the attachments on fell off.
If you have a shag carpet or any high pile rug, the brush head constantly stops rotating. It also doesn’t pick any strings up. I went over some red string about 20 times and finally had to bend over and pick the strings up. If you have a low pile area rug, the vacuum doesn’t pick all of the hair or strings stuck to it. Basically have to have a perfectly pile height for it to function. Forget about using it on wood floors. If you turn the brush off, it doesn’t pick anything up and if you keep the brush on, it will pick stuff up but spit and shoot a lot of other stuff around
The giant ball makes it difficult to maneuver this vacuum. The cord is so long, it gets tangled up. So not only do you have to try and maneuver this monstrosity, you also have to wrap that long cord around your arm and let it out as you carry it around. Customer service is deplorable. You cannot get anyone on the phone and have to email them. I got a response 4 days later that I can take the vacuum to a repair center. Mind you, I had just purchased it. Emailed them that I wanted to return it. They gave me a label number to take to the UPS store. They don’t even want to bother trying to find out why. They don’t care. This is the third Dyson product we have purchased, one other vacuum and a bladeless fan. They used to care about customer service. Not anymore.

I purchased 2 Dyson air purifiers in October 2017 hoping to reduce the amount of dust in the air. To begin with I was overcharged by $212 which I had to go through PayPal to get corrected because Dyson's system did not send the correct amount to be billed to my account. I opened one and was not happy with the performance so I opted to return the one unopened. I called and got the return started no problem and took the package to a UPS Store at their direction on November 13th. It arrived at their facility on Nov 15th. I did not receive an email from them acknowledging the receipt of the package until Nov 29th which stated it could take up to 30 days for the return to process. Mind you this package was unopened and still in the plastic wrap it came with.
I sat patiently until the first week of January, still no refund! I called and spoke with a rep who told me that she would send a note to the refunds dept and I would get a response within 48 hours. A week went by and nothing. I called again and got another rep who gave me the same response. This rep emailed me to say she had sent the request. Now I have an email address to a rep. So when she did not get back to me in another week I emailed saying what’s going on? I got no response! Another week has passed so I email her again and I call. Get another rep who says she will follow up with me before the end of the day. Guess what!!! No response! I have now contacted my credit card co regarding this. But I can tell you one thing. I will never buy something through Dyson directly again.

We purchased this Dyson and had a few issues within the 5 year warranty, Dyson did spend quite a bit of time troubleshooting, we had to send photos of the issues we had. A few times during the warranty they replaced parts after quite a bit of time on the phone with them. We are 1 year out of warranty and the material is brittle and broke so that the vacuum is no longer usable. Warranty is up and we have no recourse but to pay to ship it to a repair center, pay to have it repaired and pay to have it shipped back. So if you want a 600 dollar vacuum that will not last much beyond its warranty this one is for you. For us we are looking at other brands that have a longer warranty for the alike price.

I purchase a Dyson Animal 11 months ago and the brush in the bottom assembly stopped spinning due to a cracked plastic part. I called customer service for 3 weeks (the average wait time to be connected to an agent was about 45 minutes) before I was offered a solution, finally I was told my part was available and will be expressed shipped to me. After a week and a half and no part arriving I called customer service back. This time I was told the part was never available and has been discontinued and there is nothing they can do to repair my 11-month-old vacuum that comes with a 5-year warranty. So I asked what can they do about a $560.00 dollar vacuum that I bought 11 months ago that is broken and comes with a 5-year warranty. I was told nothing can be done and they are sorry. Wow!

I moved recently to a house with wood floors, and have been trying since 11/15 to order a soft head for my Dyson D7 Motorhead. At first it was ordered, but later determined the representative had ordered the wrong part. There's no stock of the correct part, and no forecast of when it might be available. One representative told me they only focus putting the soft heads on vacuums for new customers, so I guess current customers don't matter. But worse, my D7 stopped charging on 12/5. It took about 3 weeks to send a new charger (with no status available online or in speaking to representatives during that time - one person told me it will "come when it comes").
Then, when it finally arrived, it didn't work. So we took the unit to the local service center on 12/26, and I am now waiting again for another part even though the service center said the part was available. They quote 5-7 business days for everything, I think, but that doesn't seem to include shipping time. Still no status on the website - only "processing". Hold times are extremely long, and responses to emails (if you get one at all) contain no information. Very frustrating company to work with from a service perspective. And meanwhile, my new wood floors remain unvacuumed despite Christmas being here and gone, along with the visiting pets.

The beater head axle broke under normal use requiring replacement of the entire beater head. Months later the canister simply fell off of the vacuum, and the cheap plastic locking mechanism broke. Then the flexible hosing simply started coming apart. This is ridiculous for a vacuum costing almost $600. The plastic isn't even glass fiber reinforced. It's cheap and brittle. The new beater head has a channel behind the brush intended to increase the vacuum pressure, but it promotes clogging and has to be completely cleaned out every one or two uses (depending on humidity). Dyson did a few things right. It does pick up pet hair relatively well, but with parts continually breaking under normal use, it would appear that Dyson is laughing all of the way to the bank with every vacuum sold. This is truly an insult to the consumer and there is no legitimate excuse for such a poorly designed, and poorly constructed machine in this price range.

I placed my order through the Dyson website on 11/24/17 because the promotion they were advertising said free shipping AND 3 free accessories. After checking other places to purchase the same Dyson model, the Dyson website offered a much better deal from a financial point of view. My vacuum cleaner (Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2) arrived within a week and I absolutely love it! No complaints so far on the vacuum itself.
However, I'm still waiting for my free accessories. I emailed them in early December with no reply from them. I then emailed them again on 12/18/17 asking if it's too much to ask for a shipping update?! I was surprised to see a reply email on 12/19/17. "Thank you for contacting Dyson. I apologize for the delay in receiving your free tools. I can see these are currently processing for shipment, however I have also sent a message to our shipping team to ensure this ships to you soon. Once shipped, you will receive an email along with tracking information for your package." Nothing since then. As of today, the accessories still say "processing" in my account.
After reading all the reviews here on Dyson's horrible customer service, I'm not surprised or shocked that the accessories still haven't shipped. I just wish I had found this website and read all the reviews first before placing my order through the Dyson website. Live and learn and all I can hope is that my vacuum cleaner doesn't break down while under warranty. If their customer service is this bad, I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to have the vacuum fixed under warranty. I'm glad I still have my old trusty vacuum as a backup!

I purchased a Dyson refurbished vacuum back in October through Zulily. Reviews of the refurbished models are mostly positive so I decided to try it. I received the vacuum and the back of the handle was missing so I could not use it since the hose would not stay up. I called Zulily, which told me to contact Dyson because of the Dyson warranty. Dyson had me ship the vacuum back (they paid for shipping) and they added the missing part. When I got the vacuum back, the suction did not work properly. I called Zulily and asked for a refund. Zulily refused to give me a refund because they said it was under the Dyson warranty. I contacted Dyson and they told me to ship the machine back to them a second time so they could send me a different machine. I sent it back to them, and I did not hear from them.
When I called after two weeks, they told me they didn't know where the machine was. I gave them the UPS tracking number that showed it had been delivered to their warehouse. The rep on the phone acted like it was my fault for not calling Dyson and giving them the UPS tracking number, even though I sent it back via UPS using the tracking number I had been given by Dyson. Finally, the rep assured me I would be contacted the following Monday, which was the next business day. No one emailed all that week so I called again at the end of the week. They said they were sending out a replacement vacuum and would email. The next week I received the vacuum which again was missing the back of the handle. It also WAS NOT THE SAME MODEL I PAID FOR WITH ALL THE ATTACHMENTS!
I called Dyson today and went through the whole thing of explaining everything again with customer service. They finally agreed to send me the missing part and all the attachments. Now I am waiting to see what gets shipped to me. I am seriously disappointed in this company. Dyson is held up to have such high quality product, but all I've gotten so far is a headache from spending hours on the phone over the past few months trying to get a vacuum that works.

This is my first experience with Dyson. I bought Direct. That was the biggest mistake. Said two day shipping and I expected this. Even during the holidays I've had: Wayfair, Walmart, Amazon etc all 2 day shipping completely honored. Even if they didn't it was one or two days and it was at least shipped. I'm moving soon. Next week in fact. They couldn't honor the shipping. Heck, they can't even ship it within a week let alone 2 days. I emailed several times. Called to even update the address. They assured me it would ship within 24 hours. No one called back. No one will answer emails. You literally cannot reach these people and if you do they lie to you. They haven't shipped yet but can't change the address or cancel the order.
We're not stupid Dyson!!! Every other business I have ever dealt with can cancel as long as it isn't shipped and the worst is this probably won't ship for another few weeks at this rate. But the last laugh is on them. When it ships and goes to the wrong address they will be out of a machine. I'm sure someone will pick it up from the address I no longer live and they will be responsible for returning my money or handing over a new machine. I hate that my money will be held for a couple weeks but I was smart enough to use Amazon Pay and if it's one thing Amazon does well that's customer service. Unlike Dyson who will take your money, never ship out then ignore their customer.

Order a stick vacuum for a Christmas gift on 12/13/2017. Was pleased to see that I could add 3 supplemental "tools" and 2 day shipping for no additional money. I did think it strange that Dyson makes a point of telling you that you may not cancel the order once placed (although they do say that you may return the product if not satisfied).
Days came and went and I began to get concerned that I would not receive the item in time for Christmas. After jumping through a series of customer service hurdles (both e-mail and phone) I was told this morning that my order had not even been processed, never mind about being shipped. This was after I had been lied to several times by other customer service reps. I told them to cancel the order today, and they said that they would do so. Just so you know that I did find the same model for the same price at Best Buy. If the company does finally fill the order, I'll probably keep the free tools and return the vacuum. What a poor excuse for a supposed well run business.

Summary: Do not ever, ever buy a Dyson product through their website. My experience: I made a purchase of a vacuum cleaner on the Dyson website, and even though I was going through my preferred airline's online shopping mall so I could earn almost 1K air miles, the order was still being made directly on dyson.com. The order went through and the money was quickly frozen on my credit card as a pending purchase. Then I received an email later that evening saying that the order had been canceled by Dyson, and if I thought the cancellation was made in error (it was) I should call their 800 number.
I called the next day, and after an hour and a half of waiting on the line, I finally got through to a rep who told me their system had canceled many orders in some sort of glitch. I stated that I didn't want to renew my order (because I had a bad feeling by this point) and she said that was fine, and the pending charge would be reversed within a couple of days. A week later, the charge was still showing as pending on my credit card statement, so I called Dyson to inform them that the money still wasn't released. The rep said that she made a note to their accounting department regarding my issue, but since I had received an email stating that the order had been canceled, Dyson wasn't holding my money, and the problem was with my credit card company, so I should contact them and get them to release the amount back to my account.
I contacted my credit card company, and they said that they can't dispute pending charges; they can only dispute the charge once it has been posted to my account, or I'd have to wait thirty days (!!!) after the order was kept in pending limbo before they'd then automatically dispute the charge and release the funds. So then I called Dyson again to emphasize that this is a Dyson problem, and they need to fix it.
The rep I spoke to that time said that since the rep I spoke to earlier that morning made a note to the accounting department, I should be contacted by somebody (from Dyson's accounting department?) within 48 hours to clear up the matter. So there is almost $350 being held hostage, and I'll be lucky if it's released back to my account a week and a half after I made that cursed order. No air miles, no vacuum cleaner, and I'm a few hundred dollars short, right before Christmas. I repeat: Do not ever, ever buy a Dyson product through their website. Or maybe just avoid Dyson altogether.

Other than this I didn't hear anything. I sent them new email requesting refund on 13th Dec, they replied on 15th and said my order is being processed with new tracking number. I checked and found that was same number I received before which is status “Voided”.
I called them and there was 30 people waiting ahead of me. I chose the option for them to call me back. I waited for 3 hours. They didn't call me back. I called them again, there was 6 people ahead of me. They called me after 45 mins, I asked them refund. The lady had me wait on the line wait for 20 mins and said I will get refund confirmation email within 72 business hours. I am using the Dyson ball vacuum for a year which I bought from Costco. This works great, I had recommended to many of my friends. I don't usually write reviews but I have to do this time. My conclusion is machine is good but Dyson’s customer service is terrible. If you have to buy one, please consider to buy it from Costco or Amazon. Don't deal with Dyson directly. Dyson should care more about customer support.

We purchased this vacuum in 2014 after owning and liking the DC15. The DC41 weighs less than the previous vacuum (an important reason for the purchase) and it proved to clean very well. That is the end of the positives of this vacuum. Under warranty the canister was replaced 3 times, for the release button breaking. The stationary side of the ball fell off and was repaired, one of the small wheels the vacuum stands on while upright broke off and was replaced, the cleaner head was replaced because only one side of the brush was turning. Now at three years into the five year warranty there is a small wheel in the cleaner head has begun to come apart and will not roll properly. This makes the vacuum difficult to push or turn and causes it to mark up our hardwood floors.
Dyson calls this a "normal wear" part, not a design flaw, that requires replacing the cleaner head, at the cost to me of $100. In researching this part, I found that after replacing this part the wheel will break again in as short of time as a couple months. It appears that this vacuum is not designed to stand up to smooth floors as it puts stress on this wheel. This seems more like a design flaw than a "normal wear" item to me, as this vacuum is touted as a smooth floor vacuum as well as a carpet vacuum.
I cannot spend $100 dollars on a vacuum that I paid $400 for that is only three years old and will probably require the same part to be replaced in a short amount of time. This vacuum did not last the five years and, I am guessing Dyson planned on, since they put a five year warranty on it. Dyson is off the hook as far as the warranty for the remaining two years. Since they will not repair it, I will not either and I will not buy another Dyson after this experience. I thought they made a better product than this POS.

I want to review My vacuum at this point however since I cannot seem to get it delivered or an expected delivery date I guess that will have to wait. In fact I wish someone could tell me how to cancel my order.

Called and been on hold for hours. And searched on-line forever only to be FINALLY emailed that my order was placed with "standard shipping". Meaning delivery about 10 days after it ships. And no they "do not have any idea when it will ship".
I have a disabled person in the household that will not be able to accept delivery so I planned this so delivery (2 days) would be when I was not at work. They took my money immediately and when I checked 5 mins later the website told me I "created" the order 2 days in the future!

There was NO mention that this item was back-ordered or not available to ship in two days. Contacted Dyson via e-mail and waited 4 days to hear back. FINALLY someone responded to me e-mail with a generic "Thank you for your inquiry and we apologize for any delay. We understand your urgency in this matter and please note that our #1 priority is customer satisfaction. We're placing all orders to our distribution so they can be fulfilled and sent out promptly. Once your order has been shipped, we will notify you via e-mail along with the product's tracking number." Waited another few days before calling customer service. I was told the item would ship out in 5-7 business days. That was 12 days ago now, item still has not even shipped or left the warehouse.
Of course I cannot cancel the order, so I'm left waiting. Called Dyson today and waited 15 minutes for a customer service rep (I understand they're busy). Finally got ahold of someone, he put me on hold for another 25 minutes and then dropped the call. Had to call Dyson back... wait another 20 minutes. Finally got ahold of another customer service rep, who proceeded to snicker at my comments about how frustrating it was to deal with their customer service.

Apparently the item is shipping out this Friday (ha), so we'll see.
Again, NO mention that an item is back-ordered or not available for two-day shipping so CALL AHEAD OF TIME AND ASK THEM! Or, play it safe and order the item from a different store and NOT directly from Dyson. I'll never buy another Dyson product again. Annoyed I bought both a vacuum and blow dryer this year as gifts.

You'd think someone that sold premium products would have stellar customer service. Take Apple for example. Sure their products are expensive but they provide awesome customer service. Dyson, on the other hand, well I've never experienced support like this from such a prolific company. After only 9 months, my vacuum stopped working and only from light use I may add. It took me 3 days to try contact customer service. At first by phone, there were over 60 people waiting when I called first thing in the morning when they opened their lines.
After 20 mins I was still number 60! They give you the option to not lose your place in line and they'll call you back. They never did during the two days I waited. By that time I'd already emailed twice, with no response whatsoever, not even confirmation that a ticket was logged. On about the 3rd day I received an email response asking a bunch of questions. I responded with answers then more than 24 hrs later I received a follow up email asking the same questions, albeit worded a little differently. Again I replied. 24 hrs later I got another email, asking the same questions all over, clearly they didn't even bother reading my responses. On about the 5th day I was told that the power adapter would need replacing and they'd send one out in about 10 days!
First of all, I already told them I had tried a different and working adapter (borrowed one off a friend) and this did not solve the issue. Second, that would mean by the time I received the adapter I would've been without a vacuum for two weeks straight. And then what? I'd plug in the adapter, prove it didn't work, then wait another 10 days for the next part to be sent out? Clearly this company is run by idiots (except for the inventor, clearly he's the only one with his head screwed on). Avoid this company at all costs.

We purchased our Dyson (Small Ball Vacuum) from QVC. It was a great price. Almost 1/2 of what others were selling same vacuum for. It was easy to assemble. The vacuum is so hard to push and is extremely heavy. Awkward to push around and does not make turns easily. The main floor head of the vacuum pushes dirt away instead of sucking it all up. Anything larger than dust just gets pushed aside (small papers, a BB, small crumb of food...) The main floor attachment does not clean the floor near molding. The wand that comes out and attaches to the hose is so awkward that it was that, that made us pack it up and send it back. Kind of the straw that broke the camels back. We had the vacuum for 3 days and couldn't get it packed up quick enough. Now I have to pay $11.00 to send it back. Rip Off. Very disappointed as it was a treat for us since Dyson is usually out of our budget range. Unfortunately we will never purchase a Dyson product again.

Dyson makes nice vacuums -- but this is what I have learned: if ANYthing is wrong with your vacuum when you take it out of the box, don't try to work with Dyson customer support, because they provide the worst customer service I have ever encountered. Instead, return your vacuum and try to find one that is perfect -- because you will NEVER be able to get any part you might need. I purchased my Animal+ six weeks ago, and it has a defective handle. Customer Service said the part was in stock and would be shipped immediately. Two weeks later, Customer Service said they didn't know why the (still in-stock) part had not been shipped, but they would ship it expedited "that night."
Two weeks later (after a 45+minute wait on hold), I was told the same thing, and they would send an email that same night with the tracking number. Over the next few days, I emailed their online support a couple of times, asking where that number might be. Today, I called in yet again (waiting 30+ minutes in their malfunctioning phone queue), only to be told that parts *can't* be expedited, but that my order was processed four days ago. However, there is NO indication that the order is in process in my account information on their website -- but then the clerk said it's because my part is "free" -- as a warranty replacement. I pointed out that my three previous attempts to get the part shipped DO appear online (and they were, of course, the same warrantied part).
It was clear that the clerk had no idea what was going on, and I really didn't know if I could rely on anything she'd told me, since it contradicted everything I had been told in three previous phone calls. I asked for a supervisor, but was told I would have to schedule a call-back (by which they DON'T mean that they will actually SCHEDULE a call: that's their code phrase for "they'll put me on the waiting list for a call-back." And, of course, the agent has no idea whether that call-back will come in minutes, hours, or days. (It has been more than a day, and I am pretty confident that I will *never* get a call from them.) So, I won't buy another Dyson, because I simply do not have this kind of time to waste on a vacuum. I would urge you to make sure any Dyson that YOU purchase is in excellent shape, so you can avoid this unhappy experience.

My wife & I have had this vacuum (Dyson upright bagless pet vacuums DC41) for 2 years or less. We own 2 dogs. We vacuum every 5 days, or try to. The Dyson requires complete cleaning every 4 uses, not just emptying the canister. The brush motor has failed for the carpet portion of this equipment. Dyson claims parts are out of warranty. We have seen a Shark vacuum similar to this product, it is quieter and has much more suction, for half the price. After spending 400.00 for a Dyson, the company fails to stand behind its product.

I would definitely NOT recommend this for anyone with pets (2 cats, 2 greyhounds - none with very long hair). Pet hair gets clogged easily in the chamber and the container. It does the surge on and off thing consistently and I have to stop to take the entire thing apart. It takes at least 30 minutes to vacuum one room, and usually by then the battery is dead and I have to wait to charge it to do anything else. This is the worst expensive decision I ever made.

An over engineered piece of rubbish, wish I had never bought it. Most of our floors are timber with a number of rugs. The multi-purpose head vacuums the dust but tends to push the solid pieces around the floor and requires at times to place the head directly over the dirt to vacuum it up. The other tool for hard floors only is only marginally better. The machine rolls around the floor quite easily and is easy to maneuver, but the real killer is cleaning the dust out of the machine.
Being bagless is just so much more messier than bagged machines. It holds only a fraction of the dust compared to bagged machines so requiring more frequent cleaning. The whole process of emptying the machine properly is time consuming, messy and if you have any allergies you are in direct line of flying dust when emptying, whereas a bagged machine is quick, clean and efficient. Summing up, I had high expectations about Dyson and their products after reading so many favorable reports in the media about their products. I'm now of the opinion that it was great marketing because in my opinion it is certainly is not reflected in this product.

This has been an utter gong show with Dyson Canada. 2 months later I am still fighting to get the funds back into my account, it is bordering on fraud at this point. I will NEVER purchase a Dyson again, total waste of money. We have purchased the Electrolux upright animal vac that is half the price and it does an amazing job. Dyson - you suck.

Bought a Dyson ball animal vacuum last October 2016. Thrilled with its performance for the first 8 mos. Then it started sticking making it hard to push. Cleaned it out, checked all the little wheels, everything looked fine, but still sticking. Googled it today, saw a lot of people complaining about same thing. Called Dyson, the problem is a small wheel underneath on the brush that drives the brush. Even though brush still moves this wheel doesn't. They have to replace the ENTIRE brush head to fix this problem, in addition even though it has a 5 yr warranty, Dyson CSR says next time I get to pay for as it's a 'wear and tear' item!
No other vacuum puts a wheel on the outside of the motor so it can get 'wear and tear'. It's ridiculous. I've had many vacuums and never had one that failed 9 mos after I bought it. $500 is much too much money to pay for a disposable vacuum! This problem goes back years yet they keep making it the same way! Will not be buying another Dyson again. In addition I have to wait up to a week for the part. Guess I'll get my Shark back out. It's never let me down.

A vacuum that doesn't lose suction ever? Yeah, as long as you continue to replace parts! I purchased this vacuum from a local Best Buy some years back and am very dissatisfied. For the hefty price tag, you should NOT expect to keep replacing the hose for the attachments! Utterly ridiculous! I am now on the third hose for this vacuum... And customer service is useless. After explaining the ongoing problems I have had, all they do is tell me where I can purchase replacement parts. Horrible customer service! I should've bought the Shark that was highly recommended to me. I will never buy anything Dyson ever again... Way overpriced for what you get and horrible customer service when you have a problem.

If I could give a zero star review I would! I ordered a Dyson Hair Supersonic as gift for my sister's bday on August 30th. The payment was deducted from my card immediately, however, I never got a notification email the machine was shipped. On Sep 5th I called to see why that is and the rep told me it was being "processed" and should be shipped out the next day.
2 days later still nothing and I call customer service again only to spend 2 hours on the line with different reps who told me the order has been backed up and not even processed yet! It is pretty much still in processing so they can't do anything about it which may take another 10 business days. Simply horrible. When you pay such an amount for a hair dryer you expect to get much better service than this!
One rep completely forgot about me on hold. I had to call again. I asked to speak to a manager and they just keep placing me on hold and transferring to different departments but the payment of course went through on the day of the order despite the fact that they "claim" they do not charge the card until the order shipped.So sorry I ever ordered this and was left in an unpleasant situation as I had to arrive to my sister's bday empty handed because of this horrible experience.

Dyson vacuum cleaner: AGAINST: 1. Poor sized lint collector. 2. Lint removal from unit extremely difficult. Having to use a long thin tool to remove lint before you are able to pull the outer cover off. 3. Turbo pet hair head blocks when picking up smaller solid/soft items. 4. Hose and fittings poorly designed in that at each joint, extension point collect hair or pet fur. 5. Removal of hoses or fixtures seem opposite to other vacuum cleaners and it is difficult to remove one handed. 6. Very poor lint collecting bowl. The bowl has to be cleaned out regularly so point 2 is not a big problem. 7. Unless you have a compressor it would be extremely difficult to clean the inner parts of the lint collection section. 8. Price as compared with other vacuum cleaners.
FOR: 1. Very powerful motor that does the job well. 2. Ease of movement. 3. After sales and service for warranty. Replaced a lint bowl after the first one lost a part in the rubbish when cleaning it out. It has got to the point of frustration that another vacuum cleaner will be purchased due to the "AGAINSTS" outweighing the "FORS." It is also the fact that my wife does not have the capabilities of fixing the problems that arise with the unit. If the dust collection area and the pet turbo head areas were changed it would be an awesome unit.

My husband paid $500+ for the upright Dyson Animal Vacuum as a Christmas present for me a few years ago. I would NEVER have paid that, but I didn't complain. Very quickly, I realized this vacuum was not what Dyson claimed it to be. I said nothing because my husband was so proud that he'd bought me "the best vacuum ever" - or so he thought. I've kept quiet about my disappointment to avoid making him feel bad. And, it does pick up dirt pretty good off my area rugs!. BUT, I need a hose to vacuum my curtains, corners, bits off the hardwood etc. When you try to use the hose, you have to have the strength of Superman to hold it as it pulls with much force back to its storage location on the back of the vacuum.
Instead of using all that force to pick up dirt, it's like screaming, "put me back in my bed". I've tried everything to keep it from pulling out of my hand, but nothing works. Even when you hold with both hands, it won't vacuum good. I've been using my 23 year old G4 Kirby which has never torn up in all these years every time I need to clean with a hose. But, it now has a tear in the base of the hose, so it's off to the repair shop leaving me without a decent vacuum.
In addition to this upright, my husband later purchased the hand held as another gift for me (I should have told him I didn't like the upright before he bought this!!!). Pretty nifty for a short while, then it started to run intermittently and now hardly runs at all. In reading the other reviews, I can easily believe every word! How does Dyson make such fools of all of us? You just think for that much money, the product must be great - must be the best vacuum out there.
They should have to give all of us some of our money back to go toward another brand! I have family and friends who purchased the Shark vacuum for a fraction of this cost and they love it!! My husband has now found out that the hose will not allow you to use it, so I've confessed all and decided to write a review. I watch the Shark advertisement every time it comes on TV and I want to buy it so bad, but all that money spend on the Dyson, I just keep hoping for a miracle!! I vote for taking these off the market!

We have had a $500.00 Dyson animal vacuum cleaner for a little over 4 years. Many parts have failed during the time we have owned it, especially the power head. The plastic cracks on the canister, the parts have become loose. We originally had parts replaced under warranty. Now they tell us that these defects are "wear and tear" which is not covered, not manufacturer defects or shoddy workmanship. I have never been happy with this item, it does not pick up animal hair as it should, which is the main reason we bought such an expensive item in the first place. Very unhappy, I would never buy one of their products again. $500.00 is a lot of money for a vacuum cleaner that keeps breaking from the start.

I have had the DC59 for 2.5 years, love it, definitely the best cordless vacuum on the market. The price of the battery will keep me from ever purchasing another one. When I spend $350.00 on a vacuum I expect more life out it. Maybe Dyson needs to start working on longer battery life. I am very disappointed. $80.00 is a lot of money for me to come up with.

Dyson DC41 - This is a cheap piece of 'plastic'. It is falling apart, the plastic breaks easily and repairs are costly. This is probably the worst vacuum cleaner my family has ever owned. I think the product line is a rip off. It's cool technology but designed with planned obsolescence to either break or fall apart within months after purchase. Take a look at the two pictures below. In the first picture look at the thin red plastic pin attached to a lever for opening the tank. Our cleaning person broken the pin putting the tank back on the vacuum cleaner, had to replace the whole tank. In the second picture the cleaning person banged the side of the vacuum against the wall while vacuuming. The plastic shattered and the side cover came off. This is built like a child's cheap plastic toy. I wish I could give it zero stars but one is the lowest this site allows.

I strongly recommend against buying a Dyson Vacuum because their accompanying literature does not explain that the brush feature on the head should not be used on a Berber carpeting. The vacuum destroyed a wall to wall carpet that was only 4 or 5 years by pulling up loops. When I spoke with their customer service department they referred to the statement in their literature that the brush should not be used on "delicate" carpets. A Berber carpet is used in commercial spaces and I certainly would not consider it to be a "delicate" carpet. This was their cop out on covering the damage.
Based on a cellphone picture of the bottom of the head, they supposedly were able to determine that the vacuum was in excellent condition. Really??? I used the vacuum for years on the carpet and then in one day it chewed it up. But according to them, it was a "coincidence". Additionally I constantly have a problem with the cover over the hose coming loose, which leaves the vacuum with no suction. Poorly engineered, overpriced product. Avoid like a plague.

I purchased my Dyson Vacuum from the Home Shopping Channel here in Toronto Ontario. My main advice to others would be, do not get caught up with the hype surrounding a product. My Kenmore carpet sweeper was old and needed to be replaced, so I decided to pay the extra money and buy what is hyped as the best vacuum around. Big mistake. Not only is the Dyson no better than a vacuum that costs less than half of what the Dyson does, but it's awkward to empty, has too many valves and connectors and definitely does not pick up any better than a cheaper machine.
After this experience, I would never recommend buying a bagless vacuum. It's messier, more complicated and the canister gets jammed up with hair and debris. Much easier to simply change and dispose of a bag. Also the plastic parts of the Dyson appear cheap and flimsy, not at all what you'd expect from a $700 plus machine. After paying top dollar for this vacuum I will keep it, but my recommendation to someone who really wants good quality would be to spend just a little more and get central vac.

Considering it's supposed to be for houses with animals, it does a terrible job vacuuming up fur. I have to regularly (at least once per room) pick up the floor brush and pull the fur off the end.

It is also hard to clean the canister -- the fur gets stuck all around the inner tube and you have to keep reaching in with your fingers to pull it out.

I have a $25.00 Bissell 3-in-1 sweeper that works better at picking up dust, dirt, and small debris on both hard surface and carpet surface. The Dyson strains my back when trying to use the very unwieldy attachment for hard to reach and above the floor areas. Very stiff and inflexible. The front of the vacuum is designed to push objects (large or small or tiny) like a snow plow and I end up having to use a broom and dustpan or the above mentioned Bissell.
The owner's manual is a joke at best. It reveals no information on what to do when a problem arises. The cost of sending the vacuum back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement just about covers the cost of many fine vacuums of other brands. I will NEVER buy another Dyson product again. I strongly urge anyone considering buying a Dyson to be mindful of the hype and pay a lot less for another brand that will probably satisfy one more than the Dyson brand.

That made me think... if they are not prepared to stand behind their advertised price, would they be prepared to stand behind the products that they sell? Sadly, after reading the reviews on this site, my conclusion is no, they probably would not. False advertising. How easy is it to trash a reputation!

Initially, I was delighted with this wonderful product (DYSON DC65 ANIMAL UPRIGHT) with its amazing, well-designed, roller head that is an excellent animal hair remover -- seriously -- the best ever! BUT this great product is manufactured from brittle plastic that is extremely fragile. Complaints:
2. FRAGILE. The swivel C-clip connector is made from brittle plastic; spring steel would be better. (They could plastic coat it to make it look pretty). The mechanism that opens and closes the perspex flap to empty waste should also be made of spring steel because it is frail and troublesome.
3. NOT TRUSTWORTHY. When standing upright, the upright handle sometimes flops back -- this has caused me to damage some interior walls.
4. FRUSTRATING TO USE. This model vacuum cleaner is almost impossible to use on stairs. Its limitations extend to the tight upholstery head that is difficult to manipulate when in use and difficult to put back correctly when not in use.
5. MEDIOCRE BACKUP. The backup service keeps you waiting for ages if you phone during lunch or tea-break hours. They don't like to hear complaints about their product. A new c-clip was sent out to me one week after I contacted them -- it arrived broken because it was poorly packaged and the product is brittle. No doubt I will have to wait another week for the next one to arrive. In the meanwhile, I have reverted to using my old vacuum cleaner, and have since found that I can get a roller head to fit it that works well.
6. SHORT LIFE EXPECTANCY. I am concerned that when my 2-year warranty expires, I might be left without any backup; nobody has come forward to tell me anything different.
7. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT to anyone who values their investments.

Dyson services suck. I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner that is under 5-year warranty, including on-site visit. They insisted that they can only attend to my request 3 weeks after I've called them something in January. After that, I could no longer contact them anymore. Nobody picks up the call on the service hotline. Finally I wrote to them and one of the most unhelpful staff in the world called me back and when I asked where is the technician, is he coming, why is it that nobody answers the calls (I tried calling from morning 9.00 a.m. to 4 p.m.), I heard another staff at the back coaching this staff to lie to me, saying that they are experiencing a high call vol. My gosh, for vacuum cleaners? You have high call vol and cannot answer calls for the whole day?
The vacuum cleaners actually broke down so often... Each time I called, I was on the line for up to 20 mins, and they cannot pick up my call??? Absolute rubbish, they were clearly lying and until now I have yet to get my vacuum cleaner. So much for a 5-year warranty when there is no one to service the warranty. On top of that, Dyson Singapore makes sure that nobody can get through the service hotline to file a complaint or to get their devices fixed.

Dyson adds to the throw-away society. I bought a Dyson battery vacuum cleaner £350 2 1/2 years ago. Within a year the motor stopped. Got a replacement from Dyson (2 year guarantee) and inserted it. Another 16 months down the line the motor stopped again. Now I'm out of guarantee and they want another £70 for a new motor assembly. I refuse as this would push the purchase price to £419 for a silly little hoover! Dyson refuse to budge (as is their right to) but I now have several kg. of plastic and electronics to go onto the heap! It's insane! I bought a VAX battery operated model at £119 instead - same (if not better suction), same battery power and if this goes within 2 years I haven't waste much! Needless to say I won't make that mistake again...

Multiple attachments come with each Dyson offering, & these are primarily redundant. However, no color coding labeling exist so that the user can differentiate which one of your telescoping goes to which unit. You see, there's about 1/16" size diff, meaning that they are NOT interchangeable. In addition, the "1st grade" Owner's Manual fails to adequately explain (pictorially, of course) anything beyond that which is obvious to someone WITHOUT an Owner's Manual. It seems like they "fixed" a product that "wasn't broken", in order to hype the "improvements" that are expected over time with ANY brand/product.
The effort to make it "new & improved" has resulted in "new, confusing, more fragile & heavier". Besides that, I've had to rent the house next door and hire someone to categorize/catalog the redundant attachments with the "oh, so subtle" variations in compatibility that necessitate (1) each for my four Dyson products. Having spent over $1,000 Dyson's way in the past four months, I'm shipping the two newest units back and powering up the Kirby.

After just three years of light use, the motor has failed in my Dyson cordless vacuum. To my amazement, Dyson inform me that the expected life of these motors, as determined by their own lab tests, is just two years! Who in their right mind would spend so much money on a product with a possible life expectancy of just two years?

Vacuum cleaner has excellent suction, good hose length. Vacuum cleaner burnt out at 11 months old and we don't even have pets to clean up after! Fluff continually blocked the lower end of hose and had to constantly manually remove built up lint that would get stuck on bristles then rattle and block hose. Power rug attachment very rough on floor carpets. It's under a 5 year warranty so I will be interested to see if Dyson repair or replace. My daughter has an Electrolux equivalent back home in Australia and loves it.

I just saw a commercial on the NEW Dyson cordless vacuum with 40 minutes of battery life. This irritates the hell out of me as I bought the old model not even 6 mths ago. Now the model I own is maybe 10 mins of life! Not only that but I use this everyday and it has got worse and worse! Do NOT buy this product. You can find something much better for much less money. This is my 2nd Dyson. The 1st not cordless and they both suck! And not in the way they are supposed to! Way, way too expensive for what you get! A joke. I will NEVER buy from this company again! Customer service sucks as well! I repeat do your homework and DO NOT BUY A DYSON!!!

I have 2 Dyson products in my home and I like them very much. So I decided to send Dyson Cordless Vacuums to 2 people for gifts this past holiday. One of them went well - gift was ordered and delivered within 5 days. So far so good. When I tried to order the second one, things went wrong and continued to go wrong. The company website was down. It wouldn't accept my credit card. I called and waited more than 30 minutes. They took my credit card number and said it was fine - then I got an email saying the order was cancelled. I went on hold again for at least 30 minutes and was told it was my credit card that was the problem. So I used a different credit card. I was told that order had gone through. But it didn't. So I got back on the phone, again waiting for approximately 30 minutes. They advertise that they will call you back but both times I have used that feature, no one ever called back.
The gentleman who tried to help me was very nice and mentioned that the problem was with my credit card and suggested I call the credit card company, which I did. The credit card company informed me that there was no problem whatsoever with my card. So I spoke to the very nice man again and he tried but the card would not go through on his end - I used the card that day for other purchases and all were fine - so I used my husband's credit card. Then I got an email saying the order was cancelled.
We kept trying until finally, it went through. I made it very clear when I placed the order, on more than one occasion, that it was a gift and gave the address for delivery - I specifically stated that the shipping address was different from the billing address. All sounded good. So imagine my surprise when I get a knock on my door and it's Purolator, with a Dyson vacuum!!! I could not believe it. I told them to send it back and then emailed my friend at Dyson. He blamed Purolator. I wrote to service@dyson.ca who wrote back and said that the fault lay with Purolator. I wrote them again and asked for a manager so I could make a formal complaint. The response I got was that it was somehow Purolator's fault and that I was going to have to contact them.
After 4 or 5 emails I realized that DYSON DOESN'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. NOT AT ALL. The vacuum is still not delivered and I really would love to complain to their head office, but judging from the complaints I see here, it's not a one off. THEY REALLY DON'T CARE. My advice would be if you are going to get a Dyson, get it from a reputable, local store that might give a rat's ass about customer service and if something goes wrong, you'll be in better shape. Whatever you do, DO NOT DEAL WITH THEIR ONLINE STORE.

Dyson DC25 - I was so excited to order the Dyson vacuum. Watching the advertisements... Looked like a great product. Shortly after a year the brush stopped spinning, we ordered a new motor, my husband put it in and I was glad it was working again. Not even a year later... That motor went again! I am so upset with this purchase. I had a Eureka, Hoover and so on, and NEVER had any issues like this. I just bought new ones for the sake of having newer models. I've had vacuums last 15+ years and a hell of a lot cheaper. For the price of these vacuums, it's such a disappointment. I would NOT recommend this product. Thanks a lot Dyson, now I have to buy another vacuum and this one is only 3 years old!!! And it won't be a Dyson.

The Dyson animal (model 492 CA A57891) is just that, the most poorly designed vac for the price, only pro is the bag system. The self-store hose is most annoying. As soon as you turn it on the vacuum is under your feet or making your shins bleed or lying on its side. Anything that is higher than the width of a hair will not be picked up, reminds you of the commercial where the operator tries 2 or 3 times to pick an item up and then bends over picks it up and feeds it into the vacuum. We had a 55 year old vacuum that works better and you are not tired after using it.
Another annoying thing is the cord, when doing carpets it is always under your feet so you use one hand to hold cord and the other on the vac and have to drop the cord to move items as you vac. It is amazing how many times you have to physically pick this heavy animal up to move it around, not any easy task for most women to handle. Parts keep fall off. We have had this item for little over a year thinking it would grow on us but each day we dislike it more. If we could get bags for the old SINGER VAC we would go back using it. I would say technology has not moved forward as ergonomics are concerned.

We purchased the Cinetic for our home. We have a Siberian, so we thought the animal would work the best for us. The dog is in the house an hour or less during the day. Upon using it the first time the machine stopped working. The motor ran but there was no vacuum created. After looking over the machine I observed that the round screen on the pick up head was clogged with fiber from the living room carpet. I next went to the dining room, oriental carpet under the table with hardwood floor around it. The machine clogged again before I even finished the room. This continues to be the way it works every time I use the unit. We have a 20+ year old Electrolux that works well and will go back into service. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this machine if you have pets, or any living moving humans in the home. I am totally dissatisfied with the unit.

I was so excited to purchase my Dyson vacuum after all the amazing things I heard about the quality of the product, so I didn't mind paying a premium to receive a great vacuum.

I wanted it shipped to my in-laws' address where I was staying. 5 days later my vacuum still has not shipped even though the website said it would process and ship my order within 2 days.
I now have to change my shipping address as it seems now that my vacuum won't arrive in time. I sent Dyson CS an email to change the shipping address and no response. I waited nearly 2 HOURS to speak to a representative who could not tell me the status of the order and could not change the shipping address. I sent a follow up email and still no response. I have now sent a complaint email and still no response. I cannot believe that such a premium product is followed by such crappy customer service.

I have had 3 hot/cod Dyson heaters. They all failed in about 1 year. I have a Dyson cordless. The trigger switch failed and they tell me that I need to purchase a completely new head. What company designs a product that you cannot replace component parts. This unit was just about over 1 year also. I also have a Dyson animal. This lasted about 2 years before the on switch failed to work. I have spent over $1500.00 on Dyson and all of these units ended up in the trash because Dyson does not make good for their bad designs.

My vc failed to charge after 1 yr I bought it. I called cs and they said they will send a new battery pack. I followed up after a week. They said they will send it out later. I also wrote an email to check the status. Then they replied saying it is in back order and don't know when the stock will be in and delivery date. I asked them to provide expedited delivery due to prolonged waiting. Cs said they don't have such service.
It is Xmas time. I have no vc to clean my place for 2 weeks and even during xmas. I will have guests to visit. I probably won't be able to clean until 2017. If the quality of this product is good, why the battery pack will be in back order? Why would you pay a premium price for such a poor quality product and customer service? Please save your money and buy anything cheaper. Even if it breaks down, you can just buy a new one without dealing with such a useless cs.

So I decided to spoil myself this Christmas and get myself a Dyson V6 absolute vacuum. Thing looks awesome worked great for a day very pretty item. Here's what happened… So on day two of actually having the vacuum I go to use it and there's a little HEPA filter on the back that falls off what hits the floor there's some gray plastic that hits the floor with some purple plastic which is the piece that actually fell off and I called up Dyson to see what we do about getting a new motor unit sent out to me.
I explain the situation and Anita was pretty rude to me talking over the top of me not listening to what I was trying to explain and then as I'm explaining something she put me on hold without even asking me while I was in mid sentence. Now I will say from the beginning I was aggravated and angry when she explained what they want to do. But I didn't curse and I was his plight as I could be in an aggravated mode. I've never experience this type of behavior from the call center. Having worked in IT trust me I know this is not the norm.
So they suggest that I put the broken piece and the motor unit drive it two towns away to a UPS store that they have a contract with so they can ship my unit to Paramus New Jersey in order for them to fix it and send it back to me. Now mind you I just paid for a brand new $500 vacuum that they want to refurbish and send back to me. It's three days old. So I would not have a vacuum for at least one week and in the end I paid $500 for a refurbished vacuum. So obviously I do the smart thing to do I threw it all back in a box and I sending it back as an return instead of trying to do a fix.
I was so outraged at their proposed fix. You would think having purchased the most advanced expensive vacuum on the market that they would say "I am so sorry sir we're gonna send you out a new motor with the HEPA filter when overnight. When you receive the package please put your old unit back in there and send it back via our prepaid label." That is what customer support should do. It's what my customer support customer support what I would do in my business.So now I'm stuck with the dilemma of actually getting a shark vacuum or purchasing another Dyson after having such a bad taste in my mouth I don't know that I'm going to go back to Dyson.
I know a few people have recommended the sharks and I had one in the past and I think I'll go back to it. It is just a shame that someone making the most expensive, highest marked up product, it is more about the name like apple then actually having a great product. You would think with all the hype and the high price in the vacuum market has such poor customer service it's a sad joke. I'll get off my soapbox now.

My wife made the mistake of purchasing a Dyson vacuum, thinking it was a good product, due to the price you pay. What a mistake to believe that because you pay a lot, you think you're getting a good, well designed product. We have had nothing but problems with it clogging up, taking it apart and trying to unclog it. Which is VERY time consuming and frustrating, because it is so difficult to get to the clogs and get back together. Not satisfied with this product.
