Dyson Refurbished - DC24 HEPA Bagless Upright Vacuum - Iron/Satin Yellow

We've owned Kirby, Oreck and numerous Hoovers, Bissells, and Eureka vacuums in the past. Each one had its faults. The Oreck was light and easy to use, but had no attachments and the belts, handle and cord broke constantly. The rest had attachments but were noisy, cumbersome and too heavy for my wife to use effectively. We've had the Dyson about a month now are are really pleased with the performance, weight and size. It fits neatly in our downstairs closet. We have a Bi-level with carpeting downstairs and hardwood floors with area rugs upstairs. The Dyson is perfect for us. We purchased the refurbished model and it arrived in perfect (new) condition. A great buy and highly recommended!

This vacuum has enormous suction power for a lightweight. It is full of innovations - the main hose looks like something an astronaut would use, and there are many idiosyncrasies, if I may, that make you say "wow, every thing's multipurpose on this vac." OK, the refurb thing right? 30 days later - 4 uses, there is NO PROBLEM with this vac. I thought I had a problem with the rollers not spinning, but a quick Internet search revealed the fix and it was solved - no returning to the store. My only problem was with my expectation that this vac - which by the way "doesn't lose suction" - was going to magically pick up every piece of debris with a once-over. Ah......No. It's amazing for dust because of the suction, but it has trouble with down feathers embedded in the rug, holding on for dear complacency with their multi fibrous branches. But wouldn't any vac have that problem? I would not trade it for any other vac - period. Comma instead, one more thing... Can you tell I'm having fun with this? The vac is small. It requires maintenance. Be prepared to read the manual carefully - work everything out. If I sent it back quickly because of my rollers, I would have been disappointed and I would not have so much fun writing this review.

This is a great machine and would have gotten 5 stars except for a few minor details. I bought it because it was the only vacuum that I could find that has an easy to remove brush. One quarter turn with a penny on the underside and the brush slides out, no rubber belt no screws no hassle. I have to cut the hair off of my brush every week and I have tried 4 styles/brands over the years all drove me nuts. The negatives are it has an irritating high pitch whine and the cord is short. Another 5 feet and I could get my whole room. I am having to find new accessible outlets. Also the unit is supposed to lock in place when dragging it around on the wheels but when trying to move it it disengages too easily and the front end flops back down in vacuum position. It is easier to lift it and move from room to room . Very light and easy to lift.

With two small dogs in the house, we have been going through a vacuum every year. After reading the reviews on the Dyson, we decided to give it a try. What a vacuum cleaner.....We have named it "Monster" because it cleans so well and pulls the fibers back up to look like new. As far as the pet hair, no other vacuum has compared, and the ease to empty the cannister along with the accessories for the stairs and furniture, we feel we have made the right choice. Oh, and did I mention the ease in pushing "Monster" around. It makes vacuuming a pleasure. Thanks Dyson and Best Buy for helping us finally find the vacuum we needed.

After reading other reviews of the vacuum I was laughing. Once it came to our house I sounded just like everyone elses reviews!!! I sound like a vacuum sales man every time I vacuum the house! I hadn't used carpet fresh on my carpets for three months and had been vacuuming with my old vacuum, the first time I vacuumed with the dyson it sucked up carpet fresh like I had just put it down!! It was almost embaressing how much stuff I pulled out of the living room alone- even my 8 yr old thinks it's great to vacuum! Super easy to dump the canister without making a mess- and swapping out to the wand is easy. It came to the house looking like new and for a fraction of the cost- I feel like I've gotten my money out of it already!

I have gone through numerous vacuums in the last 20 years and even tried the 8 pound one the Ads brag about and none of them can compare to the Dyson. I have two cats, one dog and three birds and I don't have to run over the area numerous times to pick up the hair and dander The power is better than any I have tried in the past. It's quiet and very easy to handle. Love the idea the brushs are so simple to clean plus the bin is super easy to empty and clean.

I have had this Dyson model for several months now and it works great! I bought it refurbished and you would never know. This model is very compact and light, but along with that comes with a very small debris canister that fills quickly. The canister can only handle one small carpeted or medium hardfloor room before it has to be emptied, so in a larger home it may not be suitable. That being said, this is a great vacuum for smaller spaces and for pet lovers who need to spot clean.

My wife says it is the best practical present anyone has ever given her. It picks up everything, very powerfull but yet very lightweigh and easy to move from spot to spot. Filters work great, no dust or odor and fairly simple to clean and mantain. Very satisfied with the purchase, i just wish the refurbished items carried something more than 6 month warranty.
