Is the suction for this machine as good as you would get using an attachment to your own home vacuum, such as the kits sold by UltraRadiance?

The suction is very strong... I had it turned it up too high and it left a hickey type mark on my face.

The suction is very strong but not like a vacuum because that would not be good for your skin and the blood vessels.

pretty good, I use th edge attachment and they also have a floor attachment. You can also just vacume in bare floor mode...

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

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.

For the most part it does good. It does not pick up fine particles but everything else it seems to get. Its not the smartest robot vacuum. Place yourstation away from electronics. Be aware of three charging pins in back of vacuum. They have an issue of sticking and I had to return my first one twice till I got a new replacement.

I used my old Rainbow wand(not the beater bar) with an attachment for cleaning hard floors. It did not fit snugly so I had used tape to keep the suction strong-worked well(but I am getting some kind of rubber gasket to make it easier). I am not sure of your purpose- to bring up the nap while using suction? This model is small but the power and suction is every bit as good as a Dyson(even a friend of mine with a Dyson said as much after using it), so maybe use the rake on the carpet first and then just vacuum as you usually would? It's a great little vacuum, just needs to be emptied sooner than larger models.

I bought the Pro model, comes with the vacuum. The vacuum has adjustable suction, very powerful but still small.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

Yes, the suction works well. My countertop is an imitation of granite (I think), and the machine sticks to it quite well. The best machine ever!

I bought this unit to replace the existing vacuum/motor I had for my central vacuum system, therefore I didn't need any attachments. This Imperium vacuum is excellent, fairly quiet and good suction. The piece of garbage I replaced was made by Newtone. This Imperium is just the vacuum itself, a separate metal bracket to attach it to the wall, one paper vacuum bag and a few small plastic pipe connectors which I didn't use. I bought separately additional vacuum bags for this machine. Also, unlike a lot of other vacuum machine brands that are computerized, the Imperium isn't. It is a straight forward machine, simple electrical hook-up and it works. Nothing fancy to break or to phone customer support about.

I have had my Dyson animal 41 for 3 months. I use it daily on hardwoods and area rugs in our home and have used it daily for the last six weeks on linoleum and carpet in our RV in sandy Galveston TX. I would have nothing else!! It has surpassed my expectations 100% as far as the suction is concerned! I would never do without this one now.. I'm officially hooked. Should you purchase one? My answer is a resounding...YES!

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

It's well worth it! We love this thing! It's light, easy to handle and does a great job. Remember: it's more of an accessory to your main vacuum. It will likely not function as well in place of it.

If we are talking about my backpack vacuum, the motor is 12 Amps. I have had the vacuum for a year or so and I am still very happy with it. Interesting thing, I found at least four different prices on what seemed to be the same machinePlenty powerful. Lots of suction. If you have lots of deeper rugs, a "power beater" vac may be a good supplement. I have 14 vacuums. (including a couple of shop-type vacs). This is my go to vac because it is so handy. It has a "beater type attachment, but obviously is not as strong as a belt driven one. Plenty powerful though..

Yes, that is what I ended up doing as well. I actually ended up buying this vacuum as well, because of the warranty. So far I am happy with the purchase, which has only been about two weeks.

Hmm? Im not sure? I have had mine for about 6 months, and so far, its been the best vacuum i have ever owned...good luck to u:)

I used it rarely. I thought I would use it more. I recently gave away my Miele VC and bought a consumer top rated Sears canister. It has much more suction power and works better.
