Title: Official Dyson Vacuum Thread! (white person suburbia alert)
Post by: AppleJack on January 05, 2012, 02:31:23 PM
So, like, they are $500 but I've been lead to believe they are worth it. Borrowed my parents when my vacuum finally died and I had no idea how much filth I lived in, specifically how much my hound shed.

Any reason not to buy one? Or should I wait for one of those loser Kirby vacuum salespeople to knock on my door.

I want the one with the yellow ball, they look like a vacuum James Bond would use.

God bless you

OT:  What about shop vacs and steam cleans.  I've successfully used a shop vac to quickly and comfortably removed clogged drains.  In my opinion, every home owner needs one.  My question would be, what about steam cleaners?  Leave it to the pros or invest in quality consumer product?

Thanks, I'll listen off the air.

i have the dyson dc24 blueprint.  it's pretty great and oh, yawn, it was limited edition so don't worry about trying to find one on the market anywhere.
see the handle?  ya, it goes up and down.  in the picture it's down.  one press of a button and it comes up to regular height.  that's what i thought.  step the eff off.

Pretty sure any decent vacuum would pick up more crap than your vacuum that just died.

oh, i think you mistook my mentioning the reticulating arm of the dyson dc24 blueprint as something unique to dc24 blueprint.  i do not believe that this feature is unique to the dc24.  i just didn't want dyson noobs like ajack to think mine was some mini model, because that's the last thing it is.

you know what is unique to the dc24 blueprint?  it's limited edition and sold out everywhere.  that's what.  good luck with your google search, noob.

man, i'm outta here.  what a bunch of vacuum nubs.  :lol: 

good luck applejack.  all i have to say is that you won't be able to find your way around a dyson if you had a map and a compass.  seriously. 

go get your palm read, i guarantee the lady tells you not to get a dyson because you won't have a freaking clue how to use one properly.

Is that the one we got?  Dyson DC44?

Bought this one for our upstairs hardwood floors.  It is awesome.  We have a German Shepherd and she sheds like 5 lbs of hair a day so it gets a daily workout.

Carpet guy:  What brand of vacuum do you use on your carpet?

Me:  Dyson I think.

Carpet guy:  Well that voids your warranty sir.

Me:  Hold on, let me check to see for sure what we use........nah man, it was a Eureka Windtunnel....my mistake earlier.

Post by: K-S-U-Wildcats! on July 28, 2014, 11:48:32 AM
We got a DC40, which is the step below the DC41 Animal, and it gets clogged all the time with all the hair our dog leaves on the carpet. Every time it clogs, there are 3 or 4 different spots you have to go through to clear the clog, kind of like unjamming a copier. Other than that major problem, it's a nice vacuum.

If you've got a pet that sheds, you should probably go with a different vacuum. Dyson is overpriced for what you get.

Pretty sure those 20% off coupons expressly exclude Dyson products. Check the fine print. Still, the advantage of buying new from the store is that you can return it if you're not satisfied, which is more likely than you'd think with such an expensive product.

I just happen to have BB&B coupons with me and the 20% off coupon says it excludes "Dyson Floorcare" but the $5 off coupon does not exclude Dyson at all.

Misunderstood you the first time, but I'll add that we have a Dyson upright and we got all of Mansion's carpets replaced, under warranty, 2 years after moving in.

My wife handles the warranty crap. She must be really good at it. I just say, "go buy a new one." (Mansion, not carpet, because, man, it's rough ridin' carpet)
