Default What's the deal with the heavily-advertized Dyson vacuumcleaners?

Are the Dyson vacuum cleaners as good as they say they are?


Are they worthy of the tv-commercial air time? *Or is this a case of "if
you advertize it, they will buy" ?


They are just trying to justify a high price. Some people will buy
something just because it costs more.


Curious that you have such a strong opinion on something you don't
own. *


I have never owned a Yugo, but I still know that they suck.


Based on what? Based on other people's opinions? That's what the
reviews on Amazon and Epinions and the like are - other people's
opinions. If you don't value other people's opinions, does that mean
you're smarter than everyone else? Based on you being an auto
mechanic and taking them apart and putting them back together again?
That has some weight, so let's apply it to what Chocstraw opined: do
you think he's an appliance repairman and has had a large number of
unhappy customers with Dyson vacuums? Why wouldn't he have said so?
Why would Dyson give a FIVE year warranty if the things didn't last
(main reason people replace vacuums is because they break).
