Dyson Sweepers: These Ain't Your Grandma's Vacuums

Remember the "olden days" of using the all metal vacuum that weighed just shy of infinity and proceeded to tell you it was turned on with a welcoming cloud of dust exiting the "couch material" bag?

Well today's vacuums are lighter, quieter, much more powerful and generally make the job of vacuuming the house a little more pleasant. And the top-of-MY-list vacuum for doing it is the Dyson. Here's why.

The Dyson simply out-sucks all the other vacuums we've owned - and that's a good thing. It's simply amazing how well it does this no matter how full the canister gets. I'm amazed at all the stuff that's seen swirling around in the canister every time I use it. It's seems as if someone came in since the last time and emptied a shovelful of fine dirt all over our floors.

The Dyson vacuum is user friendly. I like being able to vacuum and have 99% of the tools I need right with me. Hardly a break through I know for today's vacuums, but the Dyson just seems to provide these tools in a 'friendly' way without having them be in the way. And using the hose and extension handle is a snap - literally.

On all but the DC07 model, simply pull out an aluminum extension piece, put on your attachment of choice, release the hose and out comes 17 feet of hose extension that easily handles a stairway. On the DC07 you'll need to flip the handle around and reinsert it into the hose but after 2 years, I've become sharp enough to probably put a smile on the marines who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - BaddaBoom-BaddaBing done.

The cord is long enough that I can do an entire floor of our house without having to unplug and relocate. This saves those annoying times when you're trying to squeeze just that "last extra foot" out of the cord only to be rewarded with complete silence.

And the canister is generally a snap to empty as well without having to get my hands dirty unclogging the thing. Plus, it's so cool to see all that dirt - who's house did all that come from anyways? - swirling around like a mouse running sideways on its wheel. All in all, I just don't mind running the vacuum anymore and I think a big part of the reason is because now I can actually see what I'm picking up and feel a great sense of accomplishment.

No, todays vacuums sure aren't the noisy, dusty, where-the-heck-is-the-brush-attachment beast of yesteryear. I've owned many different brands of vacuums over the past 20+ years of marriage and the Dyson sweepers are some of the best I've seen.
