I've never used or even looked at Dyson, but the problem with most vacuums is how the vacuum itself slowly falls apart until it is no longer usable (even though the motor still has years of life left). For years I rocked a 1986 rainbow I bought off of ebay in 2003 for $200. But found myself using it less and less since it is big and you have to fill it with water each time. Bought a Shark upright that I used in between my more thorough weekly rainbow vacuumings. But the shark was slowly falling apart, and you can't buy replacement parts and there are so many models, that finding used parts is not really possible either. So I did the "buy once, cry once" routine and bought a Sebo E2 canister. Like many other European brands, parts are easily available and you no longer have a disposable product which is a win in my case.
