DH got met a Dyson almost 10 years ago. It's a good vacuum, BUT I would have NEVER paid that much for it. I feel they are OVER PRICED.
I've never been a fan of expensive vacuums, just buy one on sale use it up and buy another a couple years later. I needed a new vacuum and was in Sam's Club when there was a demo of the Dyson. I weakened and bought one. It is the best I have used for non carpet. It picks up hair, dust and dirt fast and does not blow it around with the exhaust. I have used all brands over the years, even the big canisters that use water and are like moving around a tub, and so far the Dyson is the best. If it last ten years then it is a great buy for the price.
