Any all metal vacuum will last far longer.
Bagless vacuums are ridiculously complex, expensive to repair and need to be dumped very frequently. Bags cost about the same as a bottle of water. How that cost got to be a significant factor must be due to clever marketing... or clueless consumers! CLICK HERE TO GO TO ornery's LINK |

Here is a video comparing the Dyson DC41 to the Hoover Air Pro upright, showing how the Hoover outcleans the Dyson. Then there's the video the same man does comparing the DC41 to the DC65. He states that the DC65 picked up 94% of his test dirt, vs 91% for the Hoover Air Pro. That should show your boyfriend that the "best" Dyson made can outclean a cheaper competitor, but not by much, but more importantly shows the Hoover is a much better value for the money & you don't need to spend $700 dollars just to get a decent cleaner! Best part I like about the videos is this guy is more than fair....he measures out the test dirt on a scale, etc. He doesn't even bash the Dyson! If your BF doesn't find this video fair, I don't think he would be willing to give any video a chance.
Another good idea is to go to your library & get your hands on some back issues of Consumer Reports. Yes, I know us collectors don't always agree with their opinions. But what it does show is that thru professional testing, many other brands clean just as well or can even outclean a Dyson. Such as the $100 dollar Hoover Tempo, Kirby Sentria, & Eureka Smartvac. After seeing the Dyson vs Hoover videos & the other YouTube videos made by vac shops showing theirs are better, I think your BF would have a hard time sticking by Dyson.

Arghh, another dyson fan boy. To be honest I can see the appeal in them and they do have a lot going for them. Their tools are extremely good and their bagless technology is the best, and their machines look fantastic, plus dyson customer service is excellent, and their pick up performance is not bad, but people think they are the best, when obviously that is not true. If they were built in England again with the quality materials they once used, they would be a much better product. I grew up with a DC01 and it lasted for 12 years and was still going strong and nothing broke of it. Built like tanks.
May be it's because of the Malaysian build quality, taking advantage of cheap labour and cheaply sourced local materials. Who knows, but they are far too expensive for what they are. |

Ah! This is so sweet. I wish all the problems in relationships were as simple as which vacuum cleaners we like. |

Look up Dyson vs Riccar or Dyson vs Simplicity on Youtube. Others like Miele or Royal compare just as well, but the demos done with the Tacony vacs are probably the most impressive. All of them really shake loose the dust, as can be seen in the Dyson vs Riccar video above. |

I don't understand why you don't just let him Love the Dyson. My new BF thinks they are the greatest. I let him think that, and I come home to a clean house. There's no reason to not just let him think it's the best. The DC17 is an awesome vacuum, and will outclean most vacuums. If he's happy using a Dyson, and think's it's perfect, just let him think that.
