Dyson DC14 All floors Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: Quiet and powerful, looks cool, very well thought out dust container (no mess).
Cons: Wand is kind of goofy, but works well.

My Hoover bag less died yesterday, Sears had a vac sale. Looked at many models, mostly under $200. I saw the 5 year warranty, plus I'm asthmatic so I looked at the DC 14 more closely and asked many questions (salesman new his stuff). On sale for $339, plus I got an additional 10% off for being a Lands End employee. So, $309 plus tax and I love how it performs. My Hoover was heavier, noisier, and had to be emptied every 5 minutes to keep good suction.

Pros: Great suction, the wand is awesome, bagless.
Cons: Price, somewhat awkward to use around stairs.

I am just amazed at what this vacuum has pulled out of my carpet each and every time that I have used it. I have two dogs a child and one husband, need I say more? I replaced my 8 1/2 year old Hoover Windtunnel with the Dyson dc14 from Costco. I always thought my Windtunnel was doing a great job until about 2 weeks ago when it stopped sucking. I convinced my hubby to purchase the Dyson, which he was not happy about the large price tag. After we got home he was the first to use it and we both almost got sick when we saw what the Dyson had pulled from our freshly vacuumed floor. For two weeks now I am in ah at what is and has been trapped in our carpet. Holy Dog Hair Batman! This is proving to be a great investment.

Pros: Gets up all my nasty dog hair, easy to use, amazing suction!
Cons: Price...but worth every penny.

This vacuum is my life saver! I have a huge german shepherd that sheds EVERYWHERE and have tried everything. This vacuum gets all the hair up...I can roll around on the floor with a black shirt on a nor get anything on me. You think that sounds weird? Well, the main reason I was looking for something like this is because when I have kids that are crawling around all over the floor, I don't want hair all on them and in their mouth. If you want the same...get the Dyson. I was told there is no differance between this one and the Dyson Animal...the Animal just costs more and comes with an extra attatchment that I hear is worthless anyway. I actually like to vacuum now and it made my carpets look new again...scary that there was that much dirt in my carpets, huh? If you have any questions, feel free to email me with them at...Kiss4you80@yahoo.com.

Pros: Ease of use, suction power, attachments
Cons: None, although I wish it were cheaper. It is a good value, though

I was in the market for a new vacuum because our old hand-me-down Hoover was not getting the job done. I'm also ready to install a new wood floor, and needed something that would easily transition to a bare floor (by turning off the beater bar).

I read some review of the DC07 model on Epinions, and was ready to buy that one today. When I got to the store, though, they had this new model for $30 more. I was told by the salesman that the hose is improved. I decided to take the plunge. What's $30 when you're spending $500 for a vacuum.

Anyway, we cleaned the whole house today with the Dyson. Boy was that an eye opener. I must have emptied the cannister six times. That's how bad the old Hoover was (or how good the Dyson is -- take your pick).

As advertised, I didn't notice it ever losing suction. That thing can pull! Also, I found that switching among attachments and overall operation was VERY simple.

In summary, I'm delighted with my purchase. Sure it was $530, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Pros: The wand, suction power.
Cons: Can't really say that I found one yet.

I hate to admit that I spent over $300 on a vacuum,but I will admit that it was worth every penny. I have 4 story house and the removable wand is great for stairs. I got the basic version because I did not need the accessories that the other's provided. Also I used a 20% off coupon from LNT at Bed Bath and Beyond. Word of advice, be careful when removing the canister...

Pros: Easy to use, so simple to clean, versatile.
Cons: Hose is too awkward to use in short or small distances

I actually look forward to vacuuming with my Animal. It's great to see how much dirt you are ridding your house of while using it. We bought this vacuum to replace a very old Hoover since we moved into a house. The attachments are easy to use and give you great long distance reach. It was a bit awkward at first, but you get the hang of it quick. I love that all the pieces attach to it so you don't have to go searching for the tool of choice (with exception to the floor cleaning rotary tools you use less frequently). The only thing that I haven't figured out and think I will simply have to buy a hand vac for is the short distance stuff like vacuuming out drawers. The extender is so long and a bit clumsy to get into tight short distance places. The emptying of the container is a breeze and no mess! I really love it and hope it lasts as long as it should for the cost.

Pros: looked awsome
Cons: side suction, wimpy motor, plastic, plastic brush roll, has 2 filters!!!

This vacuum has side suction, a wimpy brush roll that plastic and mine melted down, a wimpy motor that panasonic makes because after mine crashed i took it apart and yeah it says panosonic only all over it if he reinvented the vacuum why didn't he make his own motor. Running 12 amps through that motor will blow it in a few years believe me. I was also mad to see 2 filters and a life time filter yeah i agree it was .... well at least the life time of my vacuum!! wich was 2 years and for $530!!! come on. i was not impressed at all and would not give this to my mother for free. But i will say it looked pretty cool and people commented on it alot.

Pros: good vacuum, long cord, extra reach tools, quiet and smooth running
Cons: turbo-tool worthless, barefloor option not great

I bought the Dyson DC14 mainly to pick up cat hair from 4 cats. The "mini-turbo" tool didn't work. The Dyson people were very nice and immediately sent me a new turbo tool - that didn't work. The vacuum itself worked pretty good - I would recommend one of the less expensive versions, since the extra tools aren't worth it and don't work anyway. Also, on bare floors, the vacuum just pushes things around and I had to use the hand tools.

Pros: *High suction power *Mattress cleaning tool *Dusting attachment *Easy empty canister *Lifetime Hepa Filter
Cons: The hose is a little awkward to handle, but worth it for exceptionally clean carpet.

I have never written a review before, but I am so excited about this vacuum that I'm telling everyone I know about it. We just bought the Dyson DC14 Complete a week ago. We've never spent this much for one vacuum and I wanted to prove that it was worth the money. The day we went out to buy it, I thoroughly vacuumed my master bedroom with my old bagless vacuum. Then once my husband assembled the Dyson (less than 5 min.) I vacuumed again to see if all of the dust had been picked up by my old vacuum. I was floored, there was more dust in the Dyson canister than there was in my old canister. I did not expect there to be that much dust since I had already vacuumed 4 hours earlier. What a difference, the carpet even looked and felt fluffier (like it had just been professionally cleaned).

Pros: Suction power, simple to get unclogged, easy to clean, quieter than most
Cons: super expensive

I can't say enough about this vacuum. I have a brand new house with brand new carpets and it handled the fuzz no problem. It did plug up once on me, however removing the block was incredibly easy! With my other bagless there was no way to get it out and I was beyond frustrated. Not any more! Also, cleaning out the canister is a breeze too.It picks up everything, the attachments are great. I love the fact that the hose AND the cord are incredibly long.

I have had a lot of vacuums - all price ranges - bags and bagless. Hands down, this is the best vacuum I have ever owned. It's too bad I had to almost take out a 2nd mortgage to get it! Okay, not quite. But if I hadn't found it when I did at a 'clearance' price I probably still wouldn't have one. :(

Pros: Clean great-Fantastic, never loses suction, canister empties with ease, HEPA filter
Cons: None

My family always had an Electrolux, and so that's what I bought when I moved into our home. My carpets never seemed to be clean. So after 24 years I purchased a Dyson DC 14 complete with all these great attachments. Once I started cleaning with it I was more than impressed. It switches from carpet to floors with ease. I have had pets over 25 years and I can't believe all the pet hair that this got out of my carpet. Dyson has really done it-truely the best vacuum cleaner.

Pros: Cleans like a champ!
Cons: Initial sticker shock, bagless canister seems small

I have a black lab that sheds all over the floor and my current vacuum wasn't great at getting dog hair up, so I looked at Dyson.

I wasn't sure if I needed the Dyson 14 animal or some other Dyson unit. What I learned is that you don't need to spend the extra $100 for an "animal" upgrade unless you've got pet hair attached to your sofa. The Dyson animal vacuum just comes with a couple of extra attachments, one removes hair from furniture. All the Dyson 14 units work pretty much the same on the floor. The variance between models basically mixes different specialty attachments with different models.

My Dyson 14 Drive picks up every single black dog hair on my tan carpet. It's a great unit that is worth the premium.

Pros: Powerful Easy to clean
Cons: Price

After much deliberation, I decided to buy a refurbished Dyson. The reason I purchased a refurb is because of the high price. When the vacuum was delivered I opened it immediately and started assembling it. Assembly wasn't too difficult. I started vacuuming right away. An amazing amount of dirt and carpet fiber came up. I had been vacuuming daily since our house was on the market and I still pulled up a lot of stuff. I was amazed at the power of the Dyson. Also, emptying the canister was super easy. Much better than a bag vacuum.

Pros: Suction power, ingenious design, ease of use, reliable, convenience, and it's relatively light
Cons: Price could be an issue, but considering the long run, it's well worth it

The Dyson DC14 is simply amazing. I've been using it for over a year now, and it has been a reliable performer throughout my experience. You can actually feel the suction on the ground when vacuuming. The accessories work great and are convenient to use, and I do love the telescoping wand. Emptying the container is simple and easy with a push of a button. As instructed by the manual, every once in awhile, I'll check underneath the vacuum to cut tangled hair to bring the vacuum to 100 percent. My best experience with the vacuum was when vacuuming my wool rug--the vacuum took all of the dust out of it and restored the rug to a brand new condition. Simply amazing! Overall, the vacuum is well worth the price considering all of the great features and for its long term usage.

Pros: Suction, ease of use, edge cleaning.
Cons: NONE! I love everything about it.

My Kenmore finally died on me after 8 yrs of using it. I bought an Electrolux Oxygen and it didn't work very well at all, so I decided to splurge and go for the Dyson. It is worth EVERY penny. I can not quit raving about this Vaccuum. It's amazing!
