Dyson vacuums?

[SophieKatesMom]

I saw that Costco had them on sale also last week. I am heading there in a few minutes and will look.

I thought of this thread yesterday when my Dyson fell on my HEAD!!! I was vacuuming the stairs and stupid me had the base of the unit in front of me - well I pulled the hose a little to far and bang.

Warning if you vacuum the stairs put the vacuum BEHIND you.

Although my first encounter with a wold spider met a little more traumatic ending for him I was scared sh*tless cuz I just moved to Florida and had never seen one before. He was hiding on my dark purple rug I threw not one,not two....but THREE text books on top of him and STOMPED


I love this idea! Decorating with Dirt

ROFL this is the bestest thread ever. I come here for some humor every day.

Who Knew cleaning could be so entertaining? I'm pretty sure the wolf spider didn't know

one of the reasons I've never exercised was a deep and abiding fear of sports injuries. You don't get shin splints in your recliner. But, omg, I never, ever thought seriously about cleaning injuries. You poor woman. There needs to be medical research on this. I'm sure there is a foundation and grants available. I'm just devastated.

PS the vacuum should ALWAYS be at the BOTTOM of the stairs

The coolest one I have is the dusting attachment. Yep, it's real soft and sorta looks like a swiffer duster. You hook it to the end of the hose, turn on the suction, and you can suck up the dust off of your coffee tables and end tables!

I'll probably wait until I have something else to order from Amazon and get it from there to save on shipping....unless someone else knows a better place to get it? I wonder if any local stores carry Dyson attachments?

Ok, I just ordered this accessory bundle from Amazon - I thought $53 was a good price for all three attachments. Amazon.com: Dyson Allergy Cleaning Kit: Home &...
I was really tempted to order this attachment, too. What do you guys think? Will it do any more than what I'm already getting? Amazon.com: Dyson Multi-Angle Brush Attachment:...

Good choices! On the first link...If I'm correct...the long piece in the middle that you attach all the other doohigies too? You will LOVE it! That darker section you see in the picture is flexible. So if you need to get into an odd space or area it bends for you and let's you get right in there!

Are you having fun yet?

That's the same impression I got from reading about it. I couldn't choose between this bundle and another one they had that also included the soft dusting brush. The little flex-thingy is what finally decided me.

So far I've only vacuumed the floors, I haven't tried any attachments. I think the fun might start when I use those...

Does anyone have an opinion ot the multi-angle brush attachment, or are there other attachments you really like for your Dyson?

I got it at Bed, Bath and Beyond....they have 20 percent coupons that they will honor forever...no expiration date.

I Love my Dyson. I have the purple animal with the ball. Very easy to move and vacuum with GREAT suction.

I have a Dyson Animal, and over the weekend my husband broke the belt (yes, he vacuums, LOL), so I called today to order a new belt fully expecting to have to pay for it. Dysons have an awesome warranty, 5 years, I think, but I didn't expect routine parts to be included. Not only did I not have to pay for anything, but they are sending along some other parts they say should be replaced based on the age of my Dyson (3 years, 4 months). I am so impressed.... I loved my Dyson before, but I love it even more now....

Wow, now that's impressive! I'm glad to know that. Thanks!

I guess I should post an update on my new Dyson. It is terrific! I've used a couple of the attachments that came with it and they were awesome....can't wait for the others I ordered to come in any day now. The suction through the hose/wand is phenomenal - I have to be careful with it.

To sum it up - I love it! Thank you everyone for all the great input.

I got the Dyson animal 3 yrs ago when my great pryenees was a baby. I love it and hate it. I know not everyones dog sheds like my gp so I take that into consideration too. Mine clogs w/his fur around the belt gears so I have to take the brush off and unclogs it every other time I use it. Which is a pain. If I didn't have the gp id love it as the suction really cleans the carpets.

Bonnie thanks for starting this thread, and Sherry thank you so much for your review. I was tempted once before, but when I got to the store there were two purple animal Dysons, and I didn't know which was the one everyone loved, so now I know! I just had to run out and get one, but now I'm too tired to try it (it's hot here). With the 20% off coupon from Bed Bath % Beyond, it was a better price than Amazon, so thank you everyone who mentioned that fact. What would I do without YT. I would have loved this as a birthday gift, does that mean I'm old?
