Dyson DC11 Allergy Bagless Canister Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: Powerful, bagless, easy to use...
Cons: Carpet attachment is worthless...

Dyson DC11 Allergy Bagless Canister Cyclonic Vacuum - better get a DC07, DC14, or DC17 as a back up!!!! My love affair with Dyson continues, but is lessened. This light weight and versatile version of their vacuum cleaner is not the best purchase I ...

Pros: Incredible suction, easy to operate, no bags or filters to replace. The best vacuum...period.
Cons: Pricey - but worth every penny.

I have had a Dirt Devil for many years, and was quite happy with it, until it started breaking every other month. So I finally decided to purchase a new vacuum. I researched the various products and decided to purchase the Dyson DC07. I was a bit ...

Pros: Looks pretty, powerful suction, bagless
Cons: pricey, a little heavy

I used to have a canister Hoover Windtunnel. It lasted about 2 years and I hated it. I hated that it was a canister and I had to drag it everywhere I went. It was difficult to store and didn't suck dirt out of the carpet as well as it should. So we were ...

Pros: Amazing suction power. Easy to empty dust bin. No bags/filters to replace.
Cons: On/Off button on handle rather than at foot level, it's heavy.

Okay, so when I told my husband that it was time to get a new vacuum, he barely even looked up from the TV…that is, until I mentioned that the one I wanted was priced at about $400. Yep. That got his attention. Of course, he just told me I was ...

Pros: Great suction - great looks
Cons: Heavy

When the family vaccuum packed up a couple of years ago, I generously stepped in to share opinions on which product we should buy as a replacement. Now, without being sexist ... this is why we have a Dyson. Dyson products seem to be inashamedly marketted ...

Pros: Built to last, NO bags, filters, or belts.
Cons: Could use a longer cord, floor brush as a standard item.

If you're reading this review, then you're curious about the Dyson mystique and their excellent marketing and branding, but more importantly wondering if Dyson's vacuums are really worth the premium price. Let's face it, very few people can consider or ...

Pros: Easy bagless debris management, convenient access to accessories and hose. Maintains great suction.
Cons: Poor power cord management and suction from handle top whenever upright.

I have never purchased a vacuum cleaner before with my own money. I always considered it somewhere at the bottom of my priority list of things to buy and either borrowed it or accepted hand-me-down vacuums for my personal use. I'm sure my own experiences ...

Pros: Powerful, does not lose suction. For real!
Cons: Still a little pricey.

Overview I am a Brit living in the US and Dyson is a household name in the UK. Since about 1996 most everyone I know that lives there has at some time or another informed me that "They finally have their Dyson". Our Dirt Devil which had lasted ...

Pros: Suction; colors; attachments; quick draw hose; large debris canister
Cons: price; looks flimsy; size of actual vacuum head (tough to get under things)

Back in 2001, my wife and I got a Eureka vacuum as a wedding gift. It worked well until I decided to use it to help clean up some drywall remnants. The vacuum had a slow decline after that. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I realized that the vacuum ...

Pros: Great suction power. No costly filters to replace.
Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for. Recommend loose retractable cord as update.

What? $430 for a vacuum cleaner? You have to be kidding me. I would have to be crazy to spend that much, right? Well, turns out I signed up for crazy. I started looking for a new vacuum when we bought our new home. We were moving from all hardwood ...

Pros: Lightweight, easy to maneuver, good suction.
Cons: Additional accessories cost extra...a lot extra.

Wow! It looks like I'm the only one who actually loves my Dyson DC11 canister vacuum. I went through them all, Kenmore, Fantom, I even tried out a Kirby, but nothing compared to the Dyson. Let me start out by stating that I have back problems. It's ...

Pros: Makes vacuuming fun, Never buy another vacuum cleaner bag, Great job Dyson!
Cons: Electrical cord is short. Switches are the same color, Hose could be a little longer.

In June of 2004 we bought our Dyson DC-11 Full Gear vacuum. We loved it from the start. We have just two rooms with carpet, most all are hardwood/pergo with some rugs. The main turbo floor tool has the ability to quickly turn on and off the brush ...

Pros: Great suction, great design, best vacuum I've ever had
Cons: a little pricey, highly recommended you see this one demonstrated to understand it

Once you figure out the gadgets (which shouldn't take long) this is probably one of the easiest vacuums to deal with, cleaning power is fantastic. I bought the red/purple unit. The only difference between the this unit and the yellow unit is that this ...

Pros: Suction. Suction. Suction. Fun galore.
Cons: You really have to read the manual to learn how to use the attachments.

I'm a little embarrassed about how excited I am about this vacuum cleaner. It seems that I can't quit pushing it around! I even vacuumed up a huge dead roach (hey, we live in Florida; we call them "yard cats")and then called my daughter in to watch it ...

Pros: on board attachments, optional floor tool, bagless & easy to empty, long cord (35 ft)!
Cons: hard to clean around edges (unless use attachments), pushes away larger items (wadded gum wrapper)

I have had a Hoover upright for about 5 years, and have been fairly happy with it (my main complaint is the bags - they can get smelly when close to time to replace). I wanted a new vac because I was tired of carting my Hoover to three floors (2-story ...
