Dyson Vacuum Reviews Please!

So I live in a loft with cement floors, some rugs and 2 shedding dogs!! With sweeping and swiffering it only does so much because the hair just sits on the cement waiting for any air to blow it around!!!! I'm seriously considering investing in a Dyson, but I'm not sure if it is worth it for the small amount of carpeting we have, I want to be able to use something on the cement as well....does anyone have one and ever use it on their hardwood floors or linoleum??

This probably won't help you much- I only have tile floors in the kitchen and the rest of the house is carpeted. I LOVE my Dyson! We have a black lab and the Dyson does an awesome job getting up all the hair and dirt on the carpets. I also run it over the kitchen floor and it does a good job in there too. I don't know if it makes marks on hardwoods- that would be my only concern if they were a softer wood/finish.

So it works well on your tile? I don't have hardwood, only cement, so I assume if it works well on the tile it would probably work well on the cement! Thanks!

Yeah, it picks up the dog hair, crumbs, and such. It doesn't spit things out like some of my cheaper vacuums have. I am sure that it would work for you then.

I've had my Dyson for over 4 years now and I love it! When I first brought it home, I used it and couldn't believe how much it had picked up after just using my old one. It was an insane amount of hair! We have a dog and cat who both shed a lot (both black) and we have a combination of carpet, hardwood and tile floors...it's always worked great on them!

I'm not sure how it would do on cement; I would assume okay but all I can picture is roughed up cement, which I'm sure is not the case in your home! As for rugs, like any vacuum, you have to be careful as sometimes the fabric of the rugs will get caught but it's really more based on the type of material the rug is.

Honestly while I absolutely love my Dyson, I didn't care for it much on hard surfaces. Our last house had all tile floors downstairs and it just seemed to blow the dust and hair around when I used it on the tile. I preferred my Shark Vac for the tile. I have one of the older Dysons though, not the new Dyson Ball--it looks like it may work better on hard floors.

If I can give you one advice, it's to get the canister Dyson. The upright is too heavy IMO. I bought the accessory ($50 http://www.dyson.com/store/parts.asp?accessory=ACC-DC07FT-SY&product=DC07-I-SCARLETT ) and I use my upright like a canister. I don't know about the Dysons ball though. Maybe they are lighter. But steer clear of the regular upright.

Oh and I use my Dyson on hardwood and tile mostly and it does a great job. Again, I am using the low reach floor tool. It reaches everywhere. The regular Dyson wasn't enough. I needed that extra tool.

Hi there. Don't mean to butt in, but I wanted to let you know that a lot of Dysons are on sale right now. Target has them for 20% off this week, but I found lower prices on Amazon, Best Buy, and Home Depot online. So if you're trying to buy one, you should think about getting one soon. I'm currently trying to decide which one to get and stumbled across this board.

I've had my Dyson for at least 4 years and I use it everywhere! Thing is wonderful!! It's the upright and canister in one if you get the original I know it's a good vacuum! My mom had a bit of trouble with the Animal, However I truly think that it's because she sucked water into it . . .

I used to live with two shedding cats and 3 rats and the hair alone killed several vacuums I had. . . No such issue with the Dyson, and as long as you change the bar's settings as you go along you can use it on any surface, and then the attachments and the handle turn into spider web gobblers for the ceiling and etc, even works great to clean dusty vents . . .

I like my Dyson for hardwoods, but won't use it on the carpet (which doesn't sound like a problem for you). If you're looking for a less expensive vacuum the Bissell Healthy Home is awesome. It's about half the price and does a much better job. It picks up the stuff that the Dyson leaves behind on rugs and carpets.

We have a Dyson Slim. I was in your position becuase we only had a few area rugs, mostly hardwood, and tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. We had blown through 2 vaccums in 4 years due to the dog hair. The dyson does tend to blow the dog hair on the wood and tile, but I use the attachments and hose and it works great. The Slim isn't as heavy as the others and I find it has just as much suction and picks up a ton of stuff. Not sure what the pp has a problem with carpets---I find that it almost has too much suction as I can't vacuum my thinner area rugs without it pulling the rug up. We've had it for 2 years now and it's going strong.

I recieved the dyson animal ball for a wedding present and I ABSOUTLY love it. it has made the carpet in my apartment so much better looking and it also does well on our tile floor!

I LOVE our Dyson!! It makes the carpet look so much better, picks up animal hair extremely well, and works great on hardwood floors as well

I have the Dyson Telescopic 17 (or something like that!) and I LOVE it. I dont think that I will ever buy another vacuum!

My only complaint is that periodically I have to take out the brushes because they get really clogged (I have a Black Lab which doesnt help!).

I have hardwood flooring in my kitchen/dining room and there is a special setting that you can use for "hardwood floors." The directions do say not to use the vacuum AT ALL outside though! I used to like to vacuum my porch, but I won't because of it....

I would highly recommend it, but I also also recommend using a Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon to get it cheaper
