James Dyson is the type of person who wants things to work properly. He developed his first cyclone tower in 1978. He then spent 5 years working on the perfect vacuum prototype. Dyson attempted to get multiple companies to purchase the rights to produce his vacuum, but no company wanted any part of it. They all wanted to continue to make money off of the vacuum cleaner bags for the life of the vacuums that they sold. Dyson was finally able to begin producing his vacuums in Japan in the 1980's.
Dyson vacuums finally began being sold in the United States. My family has wanted a Dyson vacuum ever since the commercials first began running. They were just to expensive for our budget. Finally, in September of 2006 we were able to purchase a Dyson vacuum. My husband brought home the vacuum and I was ecstatic. We actually argued over who was going to get to vacuum the floor with it first!
My first time using this vacuum was shocking to say the least. I have vacuumed many times in my day using many different vacuums. The Dyson vacuum is so easy to move along the carpet. It feels so light as you move it around the room. it is amazing to watch how much dust and junk the Dyson pulls out of your carpets. I know that my previous vacuum was leaving so much behind when we used it. With three children and a dog I was vacuuming at least once a day, so the fact that we were pulling so much from our carpet on the first use of our Dyson was disturbing. It was only disturbing because we then knew how awful our prior vacuum worked.
Another benefit to the Dyson is all of the accessories that come along with it. The hose is built in to the handle and you can unlock it for use when needed. The hose attachments all snap onto the vacuum so you will not spend time searching for the attachment that you need. The only hose attachment that does not snap onto the vacuum for storage is a small vacuum head. This tool is perfect for getting underneath furniture!
This is the last vacuum I will ever purchase. If I ever need another vacuum, then I will buy another Dyson. It is definitely worth the cost because of the way it works. No loss of suction, and it is extremely easy to use. I have recommended Dyson to many friends and family. My aunt was in the market to buy a new hand held vacuum and she was frustrated with constantly having to replace her hand held vacuums. I suggested the new Dyson hand held vacuum to her and she was very pleased with the purchase. If you purchase a Dyson, you will realize that the money you spend on it will easily be made up in the ease of use, the life of your carpet, and the savings of not having to purchase vacuum bags.
To sum things up, Dyson really is the best vacuum on the market!

Post a CommentWow, I am surprised to hear this. Ours is still going strong after more than 3 years!
I bought a Dyson Animal last week. The hose attachment is clogged and for the life of me I can't figure out where. The roller sucker doohicky works great but the whole hose deal needs a redesign...plus the plastic material is so brittle pieces spontaneously chip and break.
Good review. We have a cat and a dog and during the summer we have to vacuum a lot! We'll consider a Dyson.
Great article. We just bought a new vacuum, but we went with a Bissell. We were considering getting a Dyson, but we didn't have enough money to at the time. Our next vacuum purchase will definitely be a Dyson though, as I have heard nothing but good things about them.
Love this article. Dysons are great!! Your info about the history was interesting and further vallidated our purchase. Thank you.
Dysons are the best, I agree! This was great info.
Thanks for the review. I've been wondering about it. Now I want one!
I've wondered about the same thing (how well does it really work?). I need a new vacuum, and if it is really light, I will certainly look into buying one. Thanks for the review; it helps a lot!
