Hype Check: Dyson DC24 Vacuum Cleaner {Switched.com}

Apr 14th 2008 12:38PM I did alot of research prior to buying my Dyson. $450 is alot of money to me and I was skeptical that a vacuum could really be that good. I read alot of vacuum cleaner reviews, both professionally written and from consumers. I read good review after good review about the Dyson, so after returning 3 others that I hated, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try.

I have owned alot of vacuums, even ones that have received excellent reviews from sources such as Consumer Reports, but none could even come close to the Dyson. When it comes to pet hair, I don't think there is a better vacuum. At least I've never found it.

As someone above me said, the others all lose suction and then are no longer powerful enough to carry the pet hair all the way up the hose, resulting in clogs about every 15 minutes. The Dyson NEVER loses suction. Which means it NEVER clogs.

And if you own pets that shed, I bagged vacuum just doesn't cut it. You have to change the bags way too often. It's not economics, it's convenience. Emptying the canister is easy, but changing bags is a pain. Not to mention how frustrating it is to discover you're out of bags right when you need them.

It's funny, prior to buying my Dyson, I laughed about how almost cult-like many Dyson reviewers sounded as they sang the praises of their Wonderful Dyson. Now after owning mine for awhile, I am proud to be a full-fledged member of that cult! I have even convinced both my mom and sister to buy one. They don't even own pets and they love it!
