which dyson do i choose?

Don't waste your money on a Dyson the quality of them these days is poor since they starting making them in the Far East.

If you want a top hoover, go with a Sebo X4 Extra. They are the leader in the field.

We have both a Dyson DC05 and a SEBO X4, I would say the SEBO is great for large carpet areas, but lousy for stairs and edges! Also the bags are expensive.
Our dyson cylinder is excellent, 6yrs old and no problems, been used and abused (sucking up rubble!!). Excellent for stairs and edges, light and flexible and really easy to empty.

So will depend on what your house is like, non carpeted floors seem to be better with dyson, but just IMHO....

We bought cheap, rubbish vacum cleaners for years. They kept breaking, best thing that I ever did was buy a Dyson.
I didn't go mad, I bought the cheapest model (about £149 then), but 3 years on it is still picking up brilliantly and never had a fault.

I love my vacum!!!

I am amazed your Dyson still works after hoovering up Rubble thats what killed my 1st Dyson, then 2nd Dyson was just crap from day one. Plus I never found any Dyson light.

As for Sebo X4, if you buy the Sebo X4 Extra is comes with hose extension for the stairs, mine is great for round the edges, but you have to use the attachements. The bag are not that expensive and last 4 months+

The Sebo will be the best investment you ever make.

Is this the same for all of them...mine says it was made in the UK on it.

DC14 Animal,saying that one of the clasps broke within 30 seconds of getting it out of the box..dyson were good though and had a new one out asap which was easy to fit.

Thats great if you have grass and not carpet.

My mum has a Dyson she has had 2 of them mainly becasue she is a crash and bash cleaner, the table is in the way rather than move it she will push it with the hoover chairs everything and the rubber strip round the edge ended up knackered and chips out of the base but thats they way my mum used it. The current one is a DC07 I think and it has lasted a few years and is still going strong.
My gran has 2, 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs to save the carrying.

My only experience of them is a company I used to work at had one, we built pc's a group of lads that didnt care about it, the thing was really worked hard, picking up screwsfrom pc's all the little bits we couldnt be bothered to pick up elastic bands, tape, cables everything we cleaned our cars weekly with it draged it up and down stairs even picked up grass cuttings and stuff when the grass was cut. (maybe we should have had a Sebo X4 Extra):rotfl: it was a small one with a hose dont ask whihc one but it was about 6 years ago.

I know people with kirbys they are really heavy and they have been replaced with dysons.

Had a Dyson - it was rubbish! Now had a Henry for 3 years no problem - there must be a reason why professional cleaners use Henrys . . . .

If your Dyson loses it's suck take the filters out and clean them, how hard can it be !!!! I cleaned my chimney with mine and it was all sucked out, I washed all the filters and now it's good as new.

We're on our second Dyson and now have the Animal - it's brilliant with 7 cats.

We bought the dyson dc14 'vroom' from comet a few months ago, £199 in store at the moment. It is a model exclusive to them, but is basically the same as the 'animal', except it comes with a smaller turbine head attachment - it is marketed as a car dyson. It basically comes with the car cleaning kit. We are pleased with it. Apparently the dc14 is quite a reliable model, but don't ask me where I got that from! (I haven't a clue!). It basically comes with the car cleaning kit.
