we have 2 dysons......one for each home....the first is from 2003.... works great....it is heavy but it rolls really easy. Taking it apart to use the hose is a little more difficult feeding in the hose when finished..but still worth it. Also very easy to start. Paid $299 14 years ago. Still works like the first day.
Second we bought 8 years ago..ball, dyson..yellow...easy hose because it does not need to be fed thru the pole, but its hard to turn on pushing the clip at the base unless I have shoes on.. Paid a little more, but I cant remember how much.
Bought the new rechargeable from Sams last month. Coudn't get it to work on my thick pile carpets...wouldn't push.....but it worked great on the tile floors. we paid $399 but I did take it back because spending that much for a vacume that doesn't work on my area rugs...just wasn't worth it.
We also have an Oreck....got it cheap at Pennys but although its lighter than the dyson...its not bagless and I really don't think it works as well. also it came with a canister for corners. that meant I had to store 2 vacumes. Gave it to my daughter and shes thrilled because even though its not as good as a dyson....its not a shark...which she had and broke after 8 months.
Spend the money...Dysons last forever... and have not had to repair them ever....
