Don’t waste your money!!! Research reviews THOROUGHLY – Dyson fails on a number of counts. Mine spent 3 trips to the shop getting the brush clutches fixed under the original 1 year warranty – then failed 10 again 10 days after the warranty expired. Not only would Dyson not honor the repair (despite it being an on-going issue), they refused to even answer either my emails or the shop’s requests. Even the state Attorney General was ignored – until he threatened a lawsuit.
In the end, it was repaired – but I would up buying another brand & giving the Dyson to charity. Turns out Brand “X” works better than the Dyson ever did & at 1/3 the price. BEWARE!!!i’ve been wanting a dyson for a while now but just couldn’t bring myself to spend the money! i saw this one and liked the price so i thought i would try it out! it just came in today and so far so good! even though it is refurbished, it looks brand new! i was very pleasantly surprised at how clean it was. i got it together and going in just a few minutes and could not believe all the dirt that came out of my carpet! yuck! i live in hawaii in military housing and have beige berber carpet and my back yard has a ton of red dirt, so it gets dirty often. i am very happy with my purchase so far and i will probably buy new next time. if i have any problems i will update my review. I bought this Dyson when it was on sale a while ago for $300. At that price, and knowing how expensive Dyson vacuums usually are, I decided to take a shot. I could not be happier with my purchase. This vacuum works GREAT.
This unit is remanufactured, but it looked brand new when I received it. I didn’t have a single scratch or scuff mark on mine (although I might have just been lucky). My entire house is carpeted and the first time I used the Dyson, it picked up stuff I never even knew existed. It was actually pretty gross looking through the clear container to see all the hair and dust that the Dyson was picking up. The ball design also makes vacuuming my house a lot easier. You’re no longer relegated to going in a straight back-and-forth line.
Cleanup was easy. Just press a button to pop the dust holder out and then empty the container in a trash bag. I would suggest not to do this inside the house though. A lot of dust can go flying all over the place. I usually empty the container in my garage or in my backyard.
Overall, I’m VERY SATISFIED with my purchase.I love this vacuum. I’ve had it only a couple of months so far and haven’t had any problems. It cleans pretty effectively and has very good suction. Doesn’t appear to be very durable, but so far so good. Also I ran over an audio cable that has the big magnet things at the end and the vacuum completely wound the cord around the brush and tore the end off the cord. I worried that the vacuum was broken since the brush stopped spinning, but I cleared the cord out and it worked fine again.We tend to purchase high ticket refurbished items such as this when they go on sale. Over the years, we tried various inexpensive vacuum cleaners. From Hoover to Sears … just about all have failed within a year and been overall a disappointment. The good thing the less expensive units had going for them is they were cheap. The bad thing is they didn’t work well and usually within a year they died.
The Dyson has lasted longer than any of the inexpensive models, and shows no signs of being ready to fail. If anything it works as well as when first purchased. This is a well made, and effective home cleaner. read more.
