As good or better than a Dyson
UPDATE : 2/11/09 See Note Below if you own this unit...
I purchased this as a replacement for a Dyson DC-15 Animal. The Dyson had a high pitched noise that gave both my wife and I a headache. I found I could vacuum with an IPOD on loud, and she could manage it with earplugs. After giving 2 DC-15's a try I started my vacuum search again bought the 5770.
The Good:
1). This vacuum is a great value when compared to the Dyson.
2). The suction is just as good or better than most Dyson's (a sales guy told me the DC-17 has slightly more, but both are great). When vacuuming after the DC-15 the Bissell picked up more stuff. I noticed that the first vacuum with the DC-15 got a bunch of junk out my carpet, but after that it was just a little... This picked up as much dirt as the DC-15 did originally, so I was impressed.
3). It comes standard with the turbo brush, and all the small tools you need. The standard brush attachment is really pretty cool as it...
Absolutely amazing!!
Okay, first of all, I must admit that I have become Amazon-dependent over the past few years. Before I make a new purchase, I have to read the reviews on Amazon. Many bad purchases have been avoided thanks to all of your input.
That being said, I was on the fence about this particular purchase. Most of the reviews were positive... but even the few that were negative seemed legitimate enough to make me pause. However, Amazon has never steered me wrong. So, with four and a half stars, I schlepped out to buy the Healthy Home vacuum cleaner this morning.
OMG!! This vacuum is amazing!! Now, I have three soccer kids and two dogs, so my house gets its fair share of dirt tracked in and out on a daily basis. And, until recently, I really thought that my vacuum, in conjunction with the world's best steam cleaner, were getting the job done, at least for the most part.
Now, my kids all started school last week, so I've got plenty of time on my hands. That...
Get bang for your buck!
I am skeptical of every new, improved, etc. thing that hits the market guaranteeing excellent results. I always assume that it's a product that will work well for the first few times, but like everything else - overtime it will depreciate in quality. I do not believe that is the case with this vacuum. It does a fabulous job of picking up cat hair, litter messes, dog hair, etc. without even sounding like it's working hard. The suction is unbelieveable! It's strong enough to pull our floor up -so we had to set it on the highest setting to avoid that. It still picked up kiddie dinner messes, etc. without any hassles. It's also quiet enough to talk over. I am a phone-aholic and usually can't carry on a conversation when vacuuming because I can't hear the caller. Not so with this vacuum. It's not really quiet, but it's quiet enough for me to chat away with a friend without them or I having to say "what? huh? I Can't hear you!" The vacuum is heavy, but I don't see that as a downfall. I see...
