At those prices, I don't imagine that there will be many buyers. Even the Miele S7 looks better value. |

I wouldn't of thought so, I don't like bags! I have a Miele s7 at the moment, it's cleans great! But the bags are way over priced so it's going to a new home.. |

After washing them a few times they require replacement to keep the suction levels high.
I just changed the bag on my '94 HOOVER Turbopower and it reminded me how much I prefer Bagged machines. Pull bag off, throw in bin, new bag in - Done! No dust flying around, no filters to wash, and it took literally less than 30 seconds. |

What dyson have you used which the filters 'clogged'' after a few uses and needed to be replaced? |

You really have no right to put down a brand that you have never even used. He likes Dysons, lots of people do. I love all of mine. Most of your info is false anyways. Just because you don't like a bagless machine does not mean that everyone else feels the same way... And even if you would have to replace the filters, it is absolutely no different than buying bags for a bagged vacuum. You have your opinion, he has his.

I'd far rather spend money on new bags and have an easier and less dusty time changing them than spending the same amount of money on filters and getting covered in dust every time I had to empty the bin.
If you check my thread on which is better - Bagged or Bagless, you'll see a lot more people prefer Bagged. |

I'm in agreement with the guys above - if you haven't used one, I don't think that gives you any right to judge.
I've used loads. I've owned a few. My Grandparents have owned a DC01, DC04, DC15 and a DC27. I've had a DC01 and a DC04. My best friend has had a DC05 and a DC08. None of them have impressed me. They were all very average cleaners and far too overpriced. None of the lasted particularly long and all of them had the issues I always find with Dysons |

Actually, correction, I do have a first hand story about a Dyson, if you'd care to hear it.
Back years ago in the primary school I went to they had a Dyson DC01, which I did use a few times, and I know why it died. When in use, it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't better than a bagged machine, which makes it even, until you hear the demise of it. One day, with clean filters and an empty bin, it stopped picking up, even though there were no blockages and the belt was good. Turned out the motor had failed and in the bin it went. I've no experience with more modern models, and yes, that doesn't mean I can judge them all from one experience with a DC01, but still, that is my views. |

I, too loved Dyson - I had a DC01, DC02, DC03, DC04 and only last year bought the City Vac, which was taken back as it was crap!
The uprights in my opinion are much better but their hoses are rubbish and the plastic quality isn't the best - treat the older Dyson uprights for carpet care and no above the floor cleaning and it should last a long time. I am also a pet owner - 1 cat, 1 dog and an old budgie who loves nothing more than to spit out the seeds all over the floor. There's nothing worse than cleaning up after pet hair and ANY BAGLESS vacuum is so much better because you're constantly running after the pet hair. BAGLESS is good if you want a cheap vacuum but like all vacuums, the bagless design means it needs to be cleaned out. However, I was brought up to appreciate a bagged vacuum which is why I prefer it. Even if I have to buy bags, bags from some brands last longer than others and you get more for your money. It is far cleaner to dispose of dog hair with a bagged vacuum than it is with any bagless vac. Cat hair is finer, easier to manage and thus any bagless vacuum like the Vax Mach Air or Dyson uprights are great for that - again its dealing with the filters and the stink that you have to deal with afterwards in the bin -which the HEPA or whatever filter doesn't seem to cover. I find HEPA is pointless in a bagless... |
