I was considering a lesser priced vaccum like BISSELL CleanView Upright Vacuum with OnePass, 9595A. Is the Dyson one significantly better?

Yes, by far. The Dyson comes with a better warranty and will out last the Bissell.

I have 2 Dyson Milti Floor Plus Compact vacuums for each level of my home. I have a variety of flooring including hand scraped wood, carpet and stone. The Dyson is great on each surface. I'm Amazed at how much pet hair my old vacs were not picking up! If you have pets, this Dyson is excellent! I have 4 long hair cats and a Lab plus 2 teens and husband and the Dyson cleans all their messes!

As a contractor we vacuum up lot's of dust, including drywall. It does perform well but, only has a six quart bag and the suction will diminish with fine dust. We typically shake out the bag and get back to it. We had an Oreck @ with a 10 quart bag, same thing only difference was the + $ 300.00 price tag. I have no complaints with GV it's an awesome vac for the price.

I have trouble making a choice between Dyson DC25 All Floor and DC25 Animal. I have both hardwood floor and carpet as well.

I don't know about the Dyson DC44. I do know about the Shark Rocket, and after a number of high end vacuums, (including a Dyson and a couple Electrolux), I am THRILLED with the Shark Rocket. It's lightweight so I can use it often, got a good long cord, and my carpets are the cleanest ever.

I haven't tried all dyson vacuums however, my daughter has an animal 41. I wouldn't give it hoseroom. It's big, it's heavy and the size of the ball is very limiting (i.e. getting under tables and other furniture). The stick 44 has amax run time of 20 minutes on a charge and is absolutely fantastic for daily area clean ups. I prefer a hosed central vac system for vacuuming soft furniture and baseboards etc.

I Own the upright and LOVE it. If you clean the filters frequently, it is WONDERFUL. I have had mine for over 5 yrs and if and when it ever goes bad, I will go right back and purchase another one. It is, by far, the best vacuum out there today and don't let anyone tell you differently. If you are lazy and don't want a vacuum that is a little heavier than most, then don't buy this one, HOWEVER, if you want the best on the market today for a reasonable price, then BUY THIS ONE.Thanks and have a great, CLEAN day:)

I have not used the Dyson. The Shark Rocket is great. A lot of suction power. The canister needs to be emptied frquentluy because it fills up fast. But it really does pick up dirt down deep. My wife and I love it.

It's hard to say. Maybe if you're renting a house you could just go ahead with a cheaper model. The reason why I wanted a good sweeper is because we paid $3,000.00 for new carpet in our house and I wanted to do everything I could to make it last. We're planning on staying here a long time. Having a dog and a cat (and a three year old daughter) is hard on the carpet. It would be nice if you could go to your local Vacuum Center (if you have one close by) and see about renting different brands/models before making a final decision.

I believe the signature series has stronger suction than any of the previous vacuums. Also, the Signature comes with the regular bladed "brush", while the XV-21 comes with the pet bristle brush. The Signature Pro comes with both brushes. You can also just buy the pet bristle brush separately with the Signature vaccuum to make get the "signature pro" for less money.

I bought the Dyson DC33 a few months ago and it is the best vacuum I have ever had. I have mostly carpeting and some hardwood but it works well with both. You may want a response from someone with all hardwood flooring BUT I must say the thing is powerful.. I told my brother in law to get one for my sis for Xmas... unromantic gift of course! haaa

I have a Dyson and will admit that it cleans well. It is noisy and I had to send it back for problems with extreme noise, it took two weeks before it came back. A year later the same problem came back. I am looking to buy the Hoover.

I would buy the Bissell Sweeper. It works really well, for in between clean up. It's great withthe dog hair...am very pleased with it.

I really don't understand what you're asking. I love my Dyson. It's so easy to use!

Sorry, James, we don't know the difference between the two models. We can tell you that ours cleans very well, but does NOT hold a charge. We need to charge the machine before and after each use to keep it reliably available whenever we need a quick clean-up...don't know if that's true in general or if it's a quirk of our particular sweeper.

The Dyson DC17 has a very aggressive brush bar that tends to propel the machine in a forward direction. It also cleans very deeply, and is the model I would recommend to friends who have plush, thick carpets and pads. While the Slim is a great vacuum, and cleans beautifully, the somewhat smaller nozzle means more cleaning strokes. If you can get an independent Dyson dealer to allow you to try both machines (the dealer in our town will do this), you can make your mind up on your own, in your own way, on your own rugs.

Hello,I much prefer the Slim to The Ball - Dyson.Power suction/lift seems to be equal. The nozzle on the Slim is smaller and this makes up difference - Slims smaller motor to smaller nozzle ratio vs. larger motor to larger nozzle ratio (on bigger Dysons). My best guess is - the Slim equals or is near the suction lift as The Ball.Because the Slim is light and way more manuverable (able to get into hard to reach places)you will be actually vacuuming more square footage with the Slim versus a using a larger/wider Dyson.Please reply and let me know if this helps.
