I’ve spent many years using bag vacuums that switching to bagless has been a little bit strange for me. I’ve been using a Dyson for the last few months and I have to say it’s a little bit more of a hassle than it’s worth. For a machine that supposedly doesn’t lose suction, it doesn’t really pick up anything either.

I came across bestvacuum.com which is an authorized dealer of Miele vacuum cleaners and is also a Dyson specialist. I did some surfing around their site and found that there’s a lot more than just vacuums to look through. They’ve got everything from floor scrubbers to a Blueair air purifier. I didn’t want to get side-tracked though.

I went directly to the Dyson section. The one we have is the DC07 Animal which is supposed to be the most powerful upright for pet hair and considering there are 3 dogs in the house, that seems reasonable. It’s not supposed to lose suction – but it has. It’s supposed to have ‘tough construction’ but it was very easily dented and dinged from the usage around the house. Not sure if I’d recommend a Dyson to anyone, honestly.
