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" ?

Avoid it at all costs. In a recent vacuum cleaner test it was rated 11th.

What you want to do is to buy a commercial vacuum cleaner. If you have a
Costco Business Center near you, they carry them. They are not
exceptionally expensive, they last a long time, and they suck.

Dyson is for the same people that buy the Bose Wave Radio!

We have a five-year-old Dyson. Before that SWMBO would go through a
Hoover, Eureka, or whatever, every six to nine months. They would
either lose suction (sucks to lose impeller blades) or would blow out
the side of the case. Yes, they aren't designed to suck up pennies,
but the fact is they do. The Dyson may not work any better but it
*is* built better than the $100 vacuums out there.
