I know I have said this before, but I want to say it again: I love my Dyson.
I went through a vacuum cleaner every year or so in the past. Motors would burn out, parts would become clogged, or the unit would stop picking things up as well after a while. Finally, back in 2003 I bit the bullet and bought the basic Dyson model. I have never, ever looked back! It is worth every penny ten times over. There is no reason to pay half the cost for a machine you will just have to replace in a year.
The first time I ran the vacuum over my carpets, I pulled out dust that must have been there for years. I had no idea my past vacuums had been doing such a poor job of picking up the fine dust. Purchasing my Dyson was by far the most satisfying appliance buy I have made in my entire life. I’ve even had friends come over and want to look at the Dyson. They usually end up sweeping the floors for me while they are at it. That’s kind of handy.
You can get to every inch of the internal workings of a Dyson. There are well-marked places all along the joints where you can easily remove covers and sections to get at clogs or the stray lipstick you might happen to suck into the machine. That happened to me when I was vacuuming out my van the other week. I was cleaning under the seats and sucked up two lipsticks. I noticed a loss of suction, took apart one of the sections and easily removed both lipstick tubes – all within about a minute.
Now, I bought my Dyson at a local retail store, but I paid what amounted to the suggested retail price. You can absolutely get better deals if you look around online. 1AwsomeVac carries the full line of cheap Dyson vacuums, including the Dyson Animal and the new DC17 Animal vacuums. My mother has the Animal model and I love the attachments that came with it. I borrow it when I want to clean under the beds. I don’t have to move the beds to do a full vacuum job when I use the Animal’s attachments. Yay for my back!
I had a problem with one of the kids dolls getting sucked up; and as you mention with the lipstick, you can just see where it is. This makes getting it out a lot easier, and my little one a lot quieter. gotta love your Dyson
