Dyson DC41 Upright Ball Vacuum (Refurbished)

Brand Loyal
I'm never brand loyal. I buy generics and shop around for deals. But Dyson has really turned that around on me. Ever since I tried the one my mother bought 6 years ago, I've never used anything else. I originally bought one for heavy use and a lighter (more portable) one for daily use a couple years later. This model in particular is of the original design. They are heavy and more work to move around, but the extra suction is worth it. My brother has severe allergies that the vacuum helped to alleviate.

A few additional notes:
-Dumping of dust is fast and easy. Just unlatch, then press a button which allow the bottom to fall out.
-Cord is still manual roll up, they have some models which allow you to press a button and the cord will retract.
-Hair/long fibers will get rolled up in the head. You can actually remove the inside to clean it out without much fuss.
-Love the amount of attachments available and what they can do.

Had ours for 6 years
We have the Dyson Animal and I can't say anything bad about it. It picks up everything you need it to and has many attachments for different applications. It has NO belts to break. It is easy to maintain. It sucks the hair and dirt out of the carpets.

Before Dyson we were replacing our vacuum cleaners every year- at 70 to 200 a pop. The belts would continue to break and were a pain to replace. The floor did not get very clean. Now when we vacuum the carpet we can visibly see dirt brought in by our dog - a lab. We have two big shedders in the house and this vacuum really cleans the floor.

So... before you panic at the price determine how long you keep your vacuum cleaners- - do you have to buy bags, replacement belts - and then see if this is a better investment for you. Ours is still going strong. No bags, no belts - minimal maintenance to clean rollers.

Best Vacuum by far
Bought this for $300 delivered on a one day deal. Said refurbished but I see zero signs of anything but brand new. Only difference is you get 6 month warranty. For half price I'll take the risk. I was a little afraid of an upright with all hardwoods but it works awesome. Push of a button and I can transition to the area rugs. Very pleased. Over time I assume the coiled attachment hose will relax but right now when I pull on the hose to reach something with an attachment the vacuum is right up my you know what...
