4 out of 5 stars Don't even think about not buying one of these   May 2, 2008
We've watched the Dyson commercials for years, we've listened to how fabulous Mr. Dyson thinks he is and we just didn't believe it all until we unpacked our DC17 Absolute Animal vacuum and made one pass over our living room carpet. It performed unbelievably fantastic. We are a pair of clean freaks and this machine shocked us at how much grime it retrieve out of the carpet. After vacuuming the entire house I then ran to the broom closet, grabbed our old vacuum by the neck and literally threw it out the front door. Thank you Mr. Dyson, you're a genius.



5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing!!!!   May 1, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Since reading pretty much every review out there on the Dyson, I must say that I was expecting it to be the best vacuum out there and to perform great. After it's first use I must say, it easily surpasses my already high expectations. This thing is for real! A day after vacumming the living room, hallway, and 2 bedrooms with an Oreck XL, I ran across the same area with the Dyson. Amazingly so, it filled up nearly 2 canisters of filth that the Oreck left behind. It;s crazy and kind of gross seeing what this thing can pick up. There were 2 witnesses to this feat and they will both be placing their orders for one soon. I've had experience with Kirby's, Hoover's Windtunnel, Electrolux and the Oreck XL and they all sadly pale in comparison to the Dyson. If your on the fence about buying one of these, don't hesitate. This thing is amazing!


5 out of 5 stars Wondeful vacuum for pets   April 30, 2008
After searching and searching for a vacuum that can handle pet hair, I decided on a Dyson. I bought a remanufactured one to keep the costs down. It has turned out to be the BEST vacuum ever for pet hair. I've got four dogs that shed year round, so the hair is always present. This is the only vacuum that removes all of the hair. I've gone through three other brands in the past two years. The attachments are great for the stairs and furniture. Although I was leary of the price of these vacuums, I am so glad that I bought one. It is well worth it and finally feel like my house is clean!


4 out of 5 stars Dyson- is it worth the hype?   April 30, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this remanufactured Dyson two days ago and received it yesterday thanks to a free trial of amazon prime. The vacuum looks as good as new. The question is, is it worth the hype? I'd say it's a good vacuum, but I'm not as ecstatic about it as some people seem to be!

I decided to put it to the test by vacuuming with my Hoover Bagless Wind Tunnel first. The biggest complaint I have with the Hoover is that it loses suction after the bin gets about a quarter or half full. I wasn't able to compare this with the Dyson because the Dyson only picked up a couple inches worth of dust and dog hair since I had just vacuumed with the other unit. I guess I was expecting that the Dyson would be *so* much better that it would immediately pick up tons of dog hair and tons of dust. It definitely picked up some stuff that the Hoover missed but it wasn't "amazing."

The pros: self propelled-very easy to push around! The purple color is pretty (not that that really matters). It has a lifetime HEPA that can be cleaned and reused (nice considering the Hoovers HEPA is 30 bucks a shot). It is bagless-some people don't like this, but I do. I don't like having to buy new bags all the time-with a dog, bags fill up quickly. It comes with some spot cleaning powder and spray. It also comes with extra attachments.

The cons: it's a little heavy. I found it to be a lot more noisy than the Hoover. It doesn't have a light and doesn't seem to have edge cleaning. The owners manual is useless. It took me a long time to figure out how to put it together and where the attachments went. Instead of making normal carpet marks, it leaves marks that look like rakes.

Overall, I'd say it's a good vacuum. I'm certainly glad I didn't pay the full price of $550 because I don't think it's worth that. I still think the $319 that I paid is a lot, but hopefully, even though it is reconditioned, it will still last for a long time.



5 out of 5 stars Great Vac, Great Value   April 29, 2008
Vac works great. It looked brand new, all new attachments and accessories - not a scuff or mark on it anywhere. I can't believe it was used/remanufactured except for the low price. It pulled so much dust and dirt out of my carpet I was amazed. My old vac got up the pet hair but not the stuff that was deep down.
