Bought a Dyson Vac

I bought a nice Dirt Devil vac about a year to a year and a half ago. The upright kind with the cartridge filter in it. Them filters ran 20 bucks a piece, and I was finding myself having to change them twice a year. I cleaned tham out good, but they still sucked, well, sucked in a bad way..... I had to replace the belt NUMEROUS times, and had to order a new roller brush...had to wait over a month because they were on back order.
Lately, the vac hasn't been sucking anything up really. Cleaned filter, new belt, new roller brush, etc.....even checked all the hoses for clogs....none...

Went out to look at cheap vacs to buy. Wife wanted a canister type. The kind that roll on the floor. We priceda cheap one at $175, Kenmore brand. Getting ready to pick it up when I spotted the Dyson Vacs.....lol

Looked at a few models, had the salesman, a good one at that, do a few demos, and I was blown away.......:bigups
The suction on those things are UNREAL. I shampoo'd my carpets about a month ago, if that.....twice. I came home and vac'd one room GOOD with my old vac, and then went over it once with the Dyson....
All I had to say was...."OMG!!!!!!!!!!! All that was in the carpet" My Wife was impressed as well.
We bought the DC14 model

Picked it up from Sears...ran a little over $400...And well worth every penny IMHO....
5 year warranty too...
I would say, if Dyson made a shop vac, I would buy it.

Just thought I'd share.....:bigups

Doesn't weigh as much as my old one. And I will tell you honestly, I will never buy anything but Dyson now....The power is crazy....and it is SUPER quiet. My old one sounded like a friggen lawn mower compared to it.

I would use it when my baby is sleeping.....that is quiet..

We had one of those. Worked great, until the plastic handle broke off. That sucked, but in the bad way!!! I have a Hoover now and love it.

Can anyone recommend a decent Vac that's not too expensive for a 650 sq. ft. Apartment?

How long did you have it? I know they have a 5 year warranty, not covered?

We got it for free, so I'm sure a warranty did not apply!
