A Look at Dyson&#39;s Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner

!±8± A Look at Dyson's Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner

For many years our faithful Amway Vacuum Cleaner (one of their better products) an upright vacuum cleaner had kept our floors clean. There is no comparison between uprights and traditional vacuum cleaners. Uprights win hands down - better suction for longer. So their was no choice we wanted to replace the Amway but not at the high price of another Amway Cleaner.

Whilst out shopping we came across a Dyson Cyclone upright. The salesperson was very keen on the product. At first impression this purple plastic seems junkie. Not a huge fan of plastic given how much it can break and not a fan of weird colors the cleaner did not grab my wife or I at first. However we left it a day or two and came back for a second look at it. We made the sales person work hard for the sale, running the vacuum cleaner on the shop floor and having him show us the complete ins and out. Despite our original worries we brought it for 9 AUD. Yes expensive but not the most expensive one out there.

Upon using the Dyson for over a year now we are 100% happy with it. It does a great job at sucking up carpets and tiles, etc. Its easy to disassemble and wash the holder. Its bag less which means no need to go to the expense of buying bags. It has three attachments, nicely fitted into the vacuum cleaner itself.

You don't just have to use it as an upright. You can extend its long hose and vacuum in the more 'traditional' way. The special "cyclone" suction ensures you keep more suction for longer, although the suction will lessen if you don't clean out the filters, etc on a regular basis.

The floor vacuum has a brush control system which is probably the only annoying part to clean. You need a knife or large screwdriver to open the front brush and remove strings and other material that wraps around the brush. Dyson could improve the vacuum cleaner by making this task easier to do.

Overall I rate this product as a 9/10. The plastic is very hard and durable and the wife likes pinks and purples so I live with the color.
