Is a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner really worth it?

Recommended Posts

I wanna bet one really bad, but just cant justify paying that much for something used for cleaning.

No.

 

I just bought a $90 Hoover that was rated nearly twice as good as a Dyson in Consumer Reports.

 

I know people love them some Dyson, but they're just not worth the cost. Save your money; buy a Hoover WindTunnel T Series

Do you want a good vacuum or a status symbol?

 

Status symbol. LOL.

 

"Hey, Heavy, what are you up to?"

 

"Ohhh, just vacuuming with my new DYSON."

Hoover sucks.

Truth. I was amazed at how much more it sucked than our old vacuum. Filled the dust collection bin the first time I used it :shocking:

I'm not gonna rip on Dyson, but why pay so much to vacuum? Is it really THAT much better than some of the others or just a status symbol, as quoted above.......

 

Check out the Shark Professional Navigator upright, also sold at BB&B (so 20% coupon also applies) at a little over half the price of a Dyson.

 

I'm now a Shark fan.

Sharks also got quite bad ratings from Consumer Reports

 

Seriously, get a focking Hoover WindTunnel T for chrissakes. It's $80 and scored the second best after a $400 LG.

What's the model number on the Hoover? I need a cheap one for the store and at $80 that is a great deal.

I never thought I'd see the day that I was seriously impressed by a vacuum, but hey, I guess that's what it's come to. :dunno:

 

~$130 at Walmart.

Don't know crap about the Hoover.

In laws had Dysons and swore by them...wife bought one a few years ago on the whole Black Friday thing.

 

It worked way better than any other vacuum we had (really made us feel nasty that this much crap came out of our carpet).

Used to own a Hoover and I wouldn't say it was bad... but now we have a DC41 and a DC35 and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I have a Dyson and I like it. I waited until they were 100 dollars off at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and then used a 20 dollar coupon on top of it.

 

 

There are probably vacuums out there that do just as good of job for less money, but will they last as long, will you be able to buy a replacement motor if needed, are they as light, etc.

If you believe the folks at Consumer Reports, Hoovers not only cost hundreds less than Dysons, but are better machines into the bargain. But hey, it's your money.

When we bought our Dyson, we vacuumed with our Hoover WindTunnel. Right afterwards we used the Dyson. No comparison. The stuff the Hoover left, the Dyson picked up with ease. We also have the Dyson digital slim. I wouldn't buy any other brand.

hmm, I wonder if that's because your hoover was old and worn out and that's why you bought a new vac? :rolleyes:
