This vacuum really sucks.

In a good way. Recommended!

I like to use it to vacuum my car, it's got far more power than most battery-powered portables and is compact enough using the brush and crevice attachments to reach everywhere.

It's also nice to have for a quick cleanup of crumbs or something like that rather than lugging out and plugging in the full-size vacuum.

You're right. Nature does abhor a vacuum.

And here we are.

Dyson website.

Add your suck joke here:.......

Edited to say, whatsamattaU beat me to it.

Ooh sweet... It's a Dyson Bladeless Weed Whacker!

[Here is an obligatory comment about woot getting a dyson.woot.com page.]

This one works on multiple floors!

How to select the right vacuum video.

how deep does the metal detector detect metal?

How is the pricing of this refurb relative to how much of a discount you've seen on other Dyson refurbs? 17% savings for a refurb is not setting me on fire...

I'm curious about two issues;
1) With the motor up at hand level as opposed to down at floor level, what does this do for noise level?

2) The write-up says it charges "three times faster". What does this mean in hours/minutes?

Thanks for any info you might have and can share.

I bought it brand new for $283.00 minus 10% discount for a total of around $250.00 last November. I have to say "I LOVE, LOVE this cordless.

I saw the thumbnail and thought, "Sweet! A keyblade!" only to have my dreams destroyed with something sucky.

Confirmed, Dyson is in bed with Woot. When Dyson leaves in the morning without waking up Woot, Dyson leaves the house spotless...

What? This things looks like a weed-eater. Anyway, how practical is the size of the bin capacity?

Oh, goody.

Another Dyson for a change. Maybe we'll get a Romba tomorrow.

"to use you must press the trigger the total time during vacuuming"

"The only problem I have is the trigger; it would be so much better if you didn't have to hold it in."

[1] The motor is not as noisy as you would think - except on the MAX setting, which, BTW will leave the battery gasping after about 7 minutes on average. Even on the MAX setting (which does offer an actual performance boost above the already-excellent cleaning) the noise is not that annoying. However, I have teenagers, so YMMV.

[2] Recharge time depends on how far down the battery is discharged, but plan on about two hours on average. We purchased a second battery from Dyson, and keep it topped up, as we tend to use this little beauty several times a day, all over the house. With two batteries fully charged, you can get about 30 - 35 minutes total cleaning time. Doesn't sound like a lot, but I could vac our house (2600 sq feet) easily with this in less time than that.

If you do get an extra battery, remember that running this little guy continuously for too long can result in the motor getting hot, and shutting down for a bit to cool off. Only had it happen twice in the last 18 months, but it is a possibility. Typically, I stop while cleaning to move a chair, pick up toys, etc. and so the machine is not on non-stop.

And yes, you DO have to hold the trigger down when you are using it. Probably the worst thing I can say about it.

We love ours so much that I would not hesitate to purchase another. It is very easy to use, and lightweight.

I just blew $9.99 on a new battery for my swivel sweeper. I'm really annoyed at Woot for not having this item sooner. For only $240 more plus shipping and tax I could have had this. It's too late to buy it now. The money is spent!

Seriously, $50 off the normal price for a refurb DOESN'T cut it. This needs to hut below $200 to make me interested. It's a high class dust buster people! Only difference is it has that long powered neck.

Are there that many broken Dyson's out there that they can offer refurb's this often? Oh wel... I'll mosey over to sellout.woot and stare at a tablet. Haven't seen one of those in 24 hours!

Refurb doesn't necessarily mean "broken" many are just buyer's remorse. Many retailers have relatively liberal return policies, so alot of people buy & then return items.

Yikes I spent $330 on a vacumn cleaner....what was I thinking!!!!!
Even here on Woot, an item is offered and somebody who just bought it at a B&M store wants to return it and buy it on Woot to save a few bucks.

I feel like someones trying to pull one over on me here.

I mean, why would I spend 250.00 on this when I can nearly buy a BIG O fan with no visible blades?

Does anyone else see this like I do? I mean, it looks like someone went out to the ole work shop and took a fairly nice drill apart and a few different style old vacuums and made a new vacuum that runs out of power about as quickly as I would like to spend cleaning house, but not long enough to even sweep up my camper.

have you ever stood in a used car lot and got yanked into buying a car that you didn't need or want without a salesman standing there pressuring you?

hmm... me either. LOL I'm thinking this is an insult to the people of the USA's intelligence. yet some are selling aren't they..
Good show Dyson. And Woot too I suppose.

It says "multi floor" - so how does this do on area rugs? I have hardwood, tile and some area rugs through out my house and would love something light and portable for all surfaces.

You made me laugh with this question.

Cool. With a 6 minute run time (you know you'll use it on the highest setting) this would have to be recharged after each room. Silly.

I doubt anyone else does, as this isn't a logical argument in the least.

I only saw one other comment about the size of the bin. Any parent knows that it would need to be emptied about 4 times for one car cleaning. Not practical to me.

How well does this work on stairs?

I have one of these. It hangs nicely on our basement stairwell wall.

We enjoy using our swivel sweeper a lot!


Seriously...the run time does not allow you to really clean the house. It is supposed to just be used for quick cleanups.

And for the SAME price, you can go to Walmart today and get the DC24Animal (purple) on clearance. Same price, bigger bin, no battery.

Biggest regret purchase. Will be seen on a craigslist ad near you soon.

HSN has it new for $330 + $14 shipping.

I obtained one of these using Amex points a few months ago.

This was my first Dyson purchase.

While a bit pricey (saw it at a local Costco a few days ago for $297 with an in-store demo), we like it a lot and use it often. As mentioned charges in about two hours and on regular mode lasts about 15 minutes.

Nice lightweight design, great for quick cleanups of our kitchen and hardwood floors. the canister's capacity is fine, and having a rechargable unit that's close-by (we keep ours in an entry-hall closet) means you clean much more often.

The 'max' mode is a bit noisy, but isn't a mode that you would run all the time, the normal mode works very well at picking up all kinds of stuff that a bagless vacuum owner would be familiar with.

Got this at Home Depot last year at Black Friday for $238 + tax = $253. Have to say that I love this little cordless. It's great for local cleanups in addition to my Roomba, which despite everything can't do the inside of my car. :-)

Definitely get this. It's a good price and you won't regret the Dyson!

Agreed, and sometimes the packaging gets opened when customers are speculating and eventually the packaging becomes unsalable or parts are "lost". All these units nationwide are consolidated and sent through a process to make then able to be resold. I have some familiarity with this.
