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

One of my relatives has a Dyson and is happy with it (or was a few
years ago the last time the subject came up). Said it was good for
dog hair.
I have a lot of dog hair, but didn't want to part with that much
money. I bought a Bissell vacuum a few years ago on sale at Target.
It's theoretically designed for homes with pets, although I suspect
that might be an advertising gimmick. However it does a great job and
pulls out dirt and hair I never knew were there. They have a new one
out now that is "multi-cyclonic". I'd like that but only because it
sounds more high tech... no idea if it works any better. If I won the
lottery, I might try a Dyson, but for now I'm happy with the Bissell.

Th "multi-cyclonic" only describes how it stores the dirt, not how well it gets
it from the carpet.
