Official Dyson Vacuum Thread! (white person suburbia alert)
« 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 Animal. Had no idea Dog and Kat SF left so much hair around. . It was kind of gross the first time we used it.

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.

i got the eureka that has the big "better than dyson!" sign on it.  i got it because of that sign.  as far as i'm concerned, it is indeed better than dyson.  sign > english freakazoid in glasses.

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.

As with most items, buy floor model from ebay. Half-price. Boom.

I've had one for over a year and 1/2 now.  I had to get the head replaced....just stopped working randomly.  Other than that it has done pretty well.

I got a refurb one from woot for like $200.00.  It works as good as I would expect a vacuum to work.  I also got new carpet about a week before I got it.
