Dyson Vacuum - Upright All Floors Bagless Cyclonic Vacuum Review

I previously owned a Dyson look-a-like and it worked well on regular carpet...but it was horrible with barber carpet (which we have wall-to-wall in most of the house) and it didn't work at all on my kitchen floor.  Well when it finally took a dive just after Christmas (the pine needles did it in) my husband convinced me to spend the extra money and finally get a Dyson.  It was one of the best investment I have ever made.  When will I learn to listen to that man?

The Dyson is very powerful.  It makes the regular carpet in my bedroom look like new every time I vacuum.  It works wonderfully on hard surface floors like my kitchen and office.  It even does an acceptable job on the barber carpets.

I have a cat and two preschool boys and a husband who all have seasonal indoor/outdoor allergies.  After using the Dyson for a few months I have notice that there is less over all dust and a minimal amount of cat hair throughout the house.  The Dyson's air filter works exceptionally well and helps my family feel more comfortable. 

The telescoping hose in the handle of the vacuum is easy to use (once you figure it out) and makes cleaning those hard to reach cob webs an easy job.

My only true complaint is that the head of the Dyson is very tall and it won't fit in small spaces like under the edge of the counters, the sofa or the end tables. I know I can just take the extra step of taking out the hose and attachments to clean these places but every previous vacuum I have owned was able to fit into these places and the fact that my expensive, top-of-the-line vacuum can't is really annoying to me.

Over all I am happy with my Dyson and I think it is worth the extra money.  I know that makers of Dyson are always improving their design and I hope that eventually they will fix the few issues I have with the machine.
