run!!
, May 20, 2008Reviewer: Yahoo! Shopping UserPros: 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!

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 lighter 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 ...
