Dyson DC14 Vacuum Review

So, I went through and read a ton of reviews on Dyson vacuums. Some good, some bad. I finally decided to go to a store and look over the product myself since I needed to replace my current vacuum. I ended up at Sears where a great salesperson was patient with all my questions and helped me decide.

I went in thinking I wanted the DC25, but saw this one on special and asked a ton of questions. The one I purchased came with the low-reach tool and the multi-angle tool as bonuses. I like that the beater bar does not spin when the vacuum is in upright position (something I did not know until the salesperson was explaining the features). She also mentioned that very few are returned to the store, which is always a good sign.

With the chance of sounding redundant, I vacuumed my house this morning before leaving to go shopping. I couldn't wait to get home and vacuum with the Dyson to see if some of the reviews were correct about it finding more dirt and hair. Well, after vacuuming my house again this evening, I filled the canister with dirt and hair...kinda disgusting if you ask me that my old Eureka didn't pull it up.

There is only one filter that needs to be cleaned every six months. It has a very long hose that I can do my stairs with without having any problems, which is a huge bonus for me. And I really like that There are two places on the machine that you can remove if it gets clogged. I used to have to take the Eureka almost completely apart to remove a clog, but the Dyson has a place on the side and a place on the bottom in the back that removes for easy cleaning. The suction is better than any vacuum I have ever owned. It is also much lighter than my Eureka and easier to carry since the handle is lower on the machine. I loved the way it glides on the carpet and turns very easily.

I have hardwood, area rugs, regular carpet, and berber carpet in my home and it did a great job removing cat and dog hair from all of them. I did not have any problems with it "eating" the carpet and did not find any fibers in the crude it picked up. Only time will tell how it will hold up, but the 5-year warranty is great to have, so hopefully I'll have it 5-years or more! Definitely recommend it, but you should wait until you find great deals. It's easier on the wallet that way!
