I'm fed up with people lauding Dyson as some Holy Grail of vacuum cleaners. It's not just Kirby owners hating on Dyson, it's everyone who owns a high quality vacuum. I've used and tested many Dysons over the years, and I must say that I would rather use a high quality machine over the plastic fantastic Dyson.

Listen to me. I said everyone who has a high quality vac hates Dyson, not just Kirby owners. It's obvious that you're just trying to take the piss out of people with your statements. You even changed your profile pic to the troll face. Face it, Dysons are piss poor vacuums and there are much better vacuums on the market.

I don't really hate Kirby's they have a lot of good points but like every vacuum cleaner they have some bad points too.
My preference is for the bagged vacs I named earlier. I still say the latest Dysons perform well on low pile carpets and they are very easy to manouvre around the easiest uprights I've used. Thanks Harley I appreciate it 🤗 | ||

Marcus Let’s not forget that they also have one of the best post filtering systems for a bagless cleaner when compared to any other bagless machine on the market. Not including water vacs. | ||

There are some things I do like about my Dyson DC07. First, despite it being pretty heavy at 19.2 lbs., it's very maneuverable and well-balanced. I'm surprised at how easy it is to push compared to other vacuums I've used.
Next is the hose and attachments. Dyson vacuums feature an incredibly long stretch hose. Combined with the nice, long extension wand, you get 17 feet of reach, which can stretch to the top of an average staircase, so you can leave the vacuum at the bottom. The attachments are very thoughtfully designed; the dusting brush and upholstery tool have heads that twist to make cleaning certain places easier. The upholstery attachment and crevice tool have vents that channel airflow downward for better pickup without sticking to delicate objects. Dyson makes the nicest turbo brushes on the market. They are designed so that if you're cleaning something like a pretty dense fabric, the brush will increase in speed rather than slowing down. That's a great example of Dyson engineering! | ||

I enjoy my DC01, I like how it spins the dirt freely like my Fantoms. Like watching a little tornado! Plus I l like how the plastic has little metal flakes in it. Much like my Dc07 it gives it a very unique look! Plus how many dc01's are in America? I also found a working DC28 at a thrift store for cheap. That has a very unique clutch system. I wish I could get my hands on a DC01 or Dc02 De stijl. I love the color combo.

I also have a dc01, and early one with the early lettering style before they had their logo down. I also want to get a dc04 one day, I imagine since most of the 04 is similar to an 07 a 120v dc07 motor could be fitted but I'm not positive. | ||

Here are some shots of my DC01. The dual cyclone machines are nice because it is easy to keep the cyclone cleaned out.

@DesiredName
Wow. I’m envious. That’s a great collection you have there. A DC01 is at the top of my “wanted” list. Up there with it are the other DC02-DC07 models and a Lighting/Destiny canister. Really, any Kenmore Destiny would be awesome!
I may not have a DC01, but I am lucky enough to have a complete Amway CMS 1000, the DC01’s “illegitimate” sibling. I could be wrong, but I think this is the only(?) CMS 1000 on this site which was produced early enough to have all of the original designs. It has the smaller (and more efficient) cyclone tip, the ring around the cyclone, the perfectly cylindrical clear bin, and the large fine dust collection chamber. It is my understanding that the designs of all of these parts were changed shortly after the CMS 1000 was introduced because they infringed on Dyson’s parents. Even though this vacuum was unfair to Dyson, I still like it because it’s an interesting piece of vacuum history. And yes, I do use it to clean my house from time to time. Things are meant to be used, no? 🙂 I’ve included my other early dual cyclonic vacuums here, too. | ||

I didn't know Goodman had a bad rep. I (personally) installed a Goodman high efficiency furnace in my previous house, and it worked for the ~9 years we lived there. Granted, it needed an inducer motor once, but like... pssh, big deal. Actually, we took the A/C condenser unit with us when we moved, and that's still working in our new house, it's at least 15 years old now.
I think you're right though, it's really up to the installer/owner. It's the same with cars. Me personally, I like Chryslers. Everyone else craps on them all the time, claiming how 'unreliable' they are. As I'm a mechanic, I know the truth of the situation. Because Chryslers are cheap, they're often owned by poor people who drive them into the ground and do no maintenance whatsoever. So, gee, I wonder why they're so 'unreliable.' I'd imagine - to a certain point - the same truth extends to vacuum cleaners. | ||

I love my vintage Dysons. From the Antarctica Solo DC01 and DC02, to the first Dyson with a power nozzle, the DC05 MotorHead. While my Cyclon is the most rare, second would be the ReCyclone (recycled Dyson DC02). Thanks to Doug Smith for making a heavy duty outlet/shut off in which I can run my 240 volt machines. I recently shampooed with my Dyson DC04 Zorbster. The old Dysons were fabulous.

 I do like my DC40 mkII (Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 ). It's very light to handle due to the motor in the ball = low center of gravity. Brushroll is very powerful in this model. It has seriously good agitation. Also the filters stay clean a very long time. My main complaint is just that the airflow is low so it really can't clean medium to high pile carpets well as the bagged vacuums. That's my opinion. | ||

@Superocd lol I know it's weird, right? Truth be told, we were being foreclosed, so we took anything we needed for the new place. Of course my father and I did all the work like that, including taking the condenser - we installed it! We're not HVAC guys, but we kind of are, because we do automotive A/C. We took our recovery machine from work and used the unused R12 side of the system to recover the R22, cut the condenser unit off and reversed the process at the new place. :P
I would buy Goodman again. They've yet to let me down. | ||

I don’t like Kirby OR Dyson 🤷🏻♂️ Go figure.
Kirby’s are fantastic performers and reliable but I find them too heavy, too loud, too big, too much of a pain to convert to tools and don’t agree with the dirty sales tactics. Dyson’s are a cheap heap of plastic and the cordless models are just glorified dustbusters with an insane price tag. Dyson’s whole success is based on clever marketing and lies, not the performance of the cleaners. | ||

Dyson cordless vacs are way overpriced that is true. I love my V8, I find it very convenient to use for quick clean ups between using my mains cleaners.
As I've said many times the latest Dysons such as the light ball perform very well. They are a match for my Sebo Felix. My preference is for bagged cleaners but Dysons are a pleasure to use, for me anyway 😀 | ||

One of the reasons Consumer Reports recently downgraded all the tested Dyson stick vacs is due to the early death of their batteries. After about 5 years of use, the batteries die and along with it, the vac itself. Who wants to go out and pay another $600 every 5 years?
Dyson must start to offer swappable batteries in the future if they don’t want to lose their customer base. Also, a “stay on” power button would make the vacs more comfortable to use. | ||

I've never liked using any Dyson. There is almost no airflow, which means that you'll be going over the same spot over and over again in a vain attempt to pick up a stray piece of thread. Also, they make their brushrolls overly aggressive on the carpeting, most likely in an attempt to compensate for the poor airflow. The final kicker is the cheap plastic that falls apart over time, especially on the older models.

My DC07 has a lot of power, and it shows. It extracts plenty of sand from my carpets. The same goes for my UP13, UP14’s, and UP20.

You can tell by how dark and matted it is, that stuff was trampled in for a long time.
I have seen several pro carpet cleaners on YouTube that use off the shelf Dysons (the older uprights, never the ball cleaners) to pre-vacuum carpets before cleaning. Then they shampoo, extract and let the carpet dry, rake the nap, then vacuum again once the carpet has been groomed to remove more dirt that got stirred up from the orbital scrubber, the rinse sprayer, and the grooming rake. | ||

Here is some of my thoughts about Dyson uprights
+ They look very different and cool + Usability is often great + Technical innovations (pushing bagless technology forward) + Cyclonic system is by far the best in the industry + Great filtration + Availability of spare parts + Very high agitation in their latest ball models + DC17 + High suction levels - Weak airflow (tested by many channels in youtube) - Very flexible plastic in many newer ball models - Narrow and complicated air paths - Cyclone pack doesn't come apart easily for cleaning - Older models have very weak agitation (DC01-DC65, not upgraded ball models or DC17) - Older models are super noisy So I always find bad and good features regardless of the vacuum brand. I don't have any certain favorite vac brand. | ||

I wouldn't even take a Dyson for free...
About a year ago, I was at the back door of a thrift shop, helping a friend load up a piece of furniture she'd bought and there was some sort of yellow plasticrap Dyson* sitting there with a piece of paper taped to it that said "Free". I could see that it needed a new plug on the end of the cord, but I wasn't even remotely interested enough to look at it further.
For me, a filter bag is a 'must' and the more metal in the construction, the better. I couldn't give a rip about a vacuum--or any other appliance looking outdated. My favorite machines that I own are between 30 and 50 years old. I seriously doubt any Dyson currently in existence will still be operable 30-50 years from now. I just don't understand why people think dirt cups and clogged filters are such a great idea. Of course, if that's what the industry feeds people, sooner or later they'll think that's all there is on the buffet. *I wouldn't know one Dyson model from another. They all look like cheap plastic toys to me. I mean, c'mon, who designed those things? Fisher Price? | ||
