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" ?

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.

If I hit the lotto, I don't think I'd have a new vacuum on the list of
priorities. I think all that overbuying is why a lot of lottery winners end
up poor again. Have to have the latest greatest most expensive of
everything, when a cheap one will do just as well.
