    Ok, but has problems

    Pros: Ease of manuverability

    Cons: Expensive, noisy, akward

    We bought the Dyson DC15 (With the Ball) today. First the good: It as great power picked up dirt no other could (We have a Sears Kenmore and a Hoover). The extending hand wand allowed us to easily reach spots we couldn't with the others. It is li...ghter than what I expected, but still not that light. The ball really allows easy maneuverability as advertised. I was able to complete the vacuuming in about 2/3 rd the time. Emptying the canister is simple and easy. Ok now the bad: First there is a terrible high pitched whine about 3 KHz (like a 6 year old girl screaming) and about 90 db (Turn your TV up a bit too loud). Being an Engineer myself, I took it apart to find the source of the noise. It appears to be a design defect in the filter outflow where there is a 3 vane air director and a grid. By placing an additional air deflector behind the grid, the whine can be made to go away. Again about the engineering (the supposed advantage) there are too many styliz Read more Less

    Pros: Lightweight

    Cons: the hose could be a little longer

    I had a bigger Dyson and traded it in for the ball. I was a bit leary because of the smaller size, but I ended u liking it more. The bigger model had pet hair collect around the filter, the smaller one doesn't. I really love this vacuum, I just w...ish the hose was a bit longer. It is a bit pricey, but not as expensive as say an Oreck. Read more Less

    Pros: really strong suction...but too strong for my wool/silk area rugs

    Cons: customer service is awful. too strong for my wool/silk area rugs

    i called and ordered a hepa filter, which I was charged for - but they sent me a pre-filter and refuse to send me the hepa filter...honestly, my dogs are more helpful. if you need customer service, dont plan on calling on Dyson.?They will ignore you!
