What are the best vacuum cleaners on the market today? I've heard good things about the Dyson, how bout you?

Answers:
I own a Miele Callisto S5280 Vacuum Cleaner. It is the best vacuum I have ever owned. The filtration is incredbile it is 99.995% effective at .3 microns (really small) and is approved for people with allergies and asthma. It uses a HEPA filter with charcoal on the bottom to take out the odors and the bags are called intensive clean bags and are cloth like! As for fexibility, the powerhead (which works great on my carpets!) has a double swivel neck to get under and around everything. The floorbrush is incredible as well. It twists and turns to get into corners, is low enough to get under furniture and baseboards and feels like you are pushing nothing. The machine itself is very lightweight and is a canister. It, like all other Miele products, is made to last 20 to 25 years. It has a 7 year motor warranty! I got this vacuum from Mr. Vac and Mrs. Sew for only $699 (Phone Special You have to Call to Get that Price) ($799 everywhere on the internet) and that handled everything professionally. The man on the phone was nice and it came with free fast shipping and no tax because I am out of state (They are in NY). I am estatic over my purchase and will definately buy from them again. Although if you really wanted a Dyson, my friend got a slim DC-18 from 1stchoicevacandsew.com for only 397.99. she swears by it but I still think the Miele is better. From what I hear, the Dyson is the best Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Hands Down but the Miele S5 Series is the Best Vacuum Cleaner Hands Down. I would go with the Miele but if you are not a canister person (I owned an electrolux before my Miele so I have always been) the Dyson is a great vacuum especially the DC 18 because it is 5 pounds lighter than the rest.
Dyson best
you can't beat a decent dyson..vax is also good..
We have an orek and love it. Never have any problems with it and our carpet still looks brand new after five years and its an off white. My other choice would be an electrolux they are also great and long lasting my mom had hers for 20 years before she had to replace it.
I have tried them all, now I ( the wife really) have a Miele. It is a cylinder type machine, solid, well made, well thought out, powerful and very compact. Dyson are good, but for my liking they have too many clever plastic nicky-nacky bits and bobs. and are lumpy, cumbersome things. I expect the solid traditional Miele to last a lifetime; more than can be said for many of the gadget filled five minute wonder machines.
I have a Dyson. It does work well. I love not having to change bags, but more then that the washable filter is priceless because my last vacuum (a Hoover upright canister vac) had a filter you were supposed to replace every three months. I never did because I could never find one to buy! I'm positive its performance (and my allergies) suffered because of it. The Dyson sucks (in a good way) like it claims, without losing suction, but it is still just a vacuum. If you have carpet in poor condition it's not going to magically fix it. It will however keep a newer or decent carpet well-maintained. I use mine at least once a week on very light beige carpet and I've owned it probably two years or so.
My only complaint with the version I own (a Best Buy exclusive at the time) is that the vacuum head is bulky. To get under my bed or along under some built-ins you have to use the hose with the low profile head attached. It works fine, but having to switch is a hassle.
I'd buy it again.
Yes. The Dyson is a good model. So to is the new Electrolux with the no-bag space for dust. Plus the filters that clean themselves. I think this model is a bit cheaper than the Dyson.We have 4 dogs, and our house can get really hairy at moulting time. We have had about 3 Vacuums so far. The Dyson is a bit pricy for us. The best Vacuum we have has been the cheapest. A Sanyo- $120NZ from the warehouse.Has a removable dust bag. That's the problem with many Vacuums. The paper bags are so expensive.But so long as it sucks well, it's a personal choice. Good Luck!
Yes I have a Dyson, great hoover´s If you have pet´s, people with allergies, this hoover helps with all these thing´s. Great for hard floor´s you would think you had just finished washing them, after you hoover, No bag, easy to clean filter. I must be honest with you, when I started to use my Dyson I found it a bit hard to handle, but now I got the hang of it so no problem at all. Yes Dyson is good
I like the Electrolux the best. Also I don't like to use uprights, because there are so many places in your house that you can't get to with an upright. If you have a canister type you can even clean the inside of your car. Try doing that with an upright.
I've tried a Dyson before and it was awesome. I went online and started shopping for one when I found that people had many complaints about the Dyson. People have noted that the canister cracks easily and it is hard to replace. Then I started reading about the Bissell Healthy Home Vac and people were raving about it. I read more positive reviews about this vacuum than the Dyson. I bought one for $250 (plus tax) and it is amazing! I have two cats, one medium and one long haired. You would not believe how much hair it picks up each time I vacuum. I vacuumed my apartments popcorn ceiling because it catches the cat's hair and it was like I pulled 4 live cats of the the ceiliing. The hose is nice and long and there are a minimal amount of attachments. The best thing of all is that it is half the price of the Dyson. It also has a HEPA filtration system. It's fantastic and does just a good of a job as a Dyson, maybe better.
If you search for Bissell Healthy Home you should find sites that sell it and there should be reviews about it as well. It's great and I love it.
I <3 my Dyson it is the best! And, if you can find a Linen's and Things that is having a 20% sale, you can save $100 like I did.
I say that it is all what you like best. I have had a KIRBY and I have a RAINBOW right now. I would give anything to have a 100.00 job from Wal-Mart at the moment. It sure is alot better to me but I can't get one because we spent so much on the RAINBOW. I think that you should go with what works best for you. I would rather have one that will run great but if something happens to it I want to be able to replace it without spening alot of money.
With all these others you are looking at several hundred to several thousands of dollars. Just watch what you buy a be so sure that it is what you want and that you would be willing to spend the same amount of money on in 5 years to replace.
I wouldn't give up my Kirby for anything. Besides It's a carpet shampooer also.
I bought a Dyson DC15 Animal in March. Upon opening the shipping box I was terribly disappointed in the quality of the plastic used. Very soft and flimsy material everywhere. I contemplated at that point bringing it back to the store, but decided to give it a try.
The noise is somewhat unsettling. My kids and wife did not like the high pitched sounds it made. Motor and exhaust sound levels are quite high.
Despite the claims of easy stair cleaning, I found it quite clumsy. The mini turbine head is air powered, not electric, and has very little power for real cleaning. Its speed dropped considerably when applied to the carpet. It looks and sounds great while held up to watch, but its functionality is poor. The flexible plastic hose is flimsy and appears very low quality.
I started vacuuming a small area of floor about 4 feet square. The canister filled quite quickly and needed to be emptied. It needed emptying a few more times after cleaning the entire upper floor. Next cleaning was the same, as well as the time after that. Clearly my carpet isn't that dirty! The canister was filling not with dirt, but with carpet fiber.
I was literally vacuuming up my carpet. The DC15 was returned to the store for refund. After the hype and optimism I was terribly disappointed.
I'm back to looking for a replacement for my 35 year old Electrolux.
