You're in the "dyson love" period. It'll wear off, then it'll be:
a) they go wrong which happens very often with uprights from experience. The hose goes as does the roller belts and the motor. Also on multiple models, the clips on the can are so bad that the moment you detach it from the unit, it pours its suckings all over the floor again. All parts are expensive.
b) they suck the wallpaper off or the floor tiles up causing damage.
c) you do your back in hoovering with the damn things as they weigh so much.
Bought a Numatic Henry and have been happy ever since, and considerably better off.
- fastball 12y agoYou hoover your walls?

- allegory 12y agoYes. To get cobwebs off the ceiling and walls when they inevitably appear (using the brush attachment). I did a spot as a cleaner a couple of decades back and that was the best way of tackling the problem.
- mrexroad 12y agoput a tennis ball on the end of a broom handle and wipe w/ the ball. works awesome.
- sourc3 12y agoI hoover the moldings but use a dry Swiffer for the walls. Much faster and less scratching. Highly recommended.
- uptown 12y ago"you do your back in hoovering with the damn things as they weigh so much." My Dyson is the lightest upright I've ever owned. It's also far-more maneuverable requiring less lifting since it can usually navigate around furniture. My only complaint is the angle of the hose when using the attachments. Since the hose comes straight-up, if I'm trying to clean something low, I find the angle to be awkward for that purpose, and it sometimes interrupts the air-flow to the hose. I'd prefer the hose come out at an angle, or perhaps pivot on a swivel as its used.
- PhrosTT 12y agoI had a canister style dyson. The hose indeed ripped all the time.
- dfc 12y agoIf you point your vacuum at a wall and wallpaper comes off the wall or vaccuum the floor and tile comes up, I do not think the vacuum is the problem. If you want to be upset with someone/something it seems like you should be upset at whomever did the crappy WP job or yourself for pointing a vacuum at something you did not want sucked up.
