What made you choose this model over the 'ball' dyson?

It seemed like it had good features for the price. Added note: it had held up well with the 2 yr olds use

I had actually bought the ball Dyson prior at toys r us and was very displeased. The suction was nonexistent (but even on this one it is minimal.) But there. And the ball one was just chinsier or not put together as well. And the same price. Either way I would recommend this one over the other one any day. Its still holding up and my son still enjoys playing with it.

this one will stand up on it's own when not in use. There where a lot of bad reviews with the ball one with frustrated parents because it would not do that. it falls over.

I have a Dyson and my grandson wants to vacuum with me. I wanted one like mine for him. It looks like it really works and makes the noise like it's working which he enjoys. I would recommend this toy.

When I spoke to them I asked. They told me the Dyson DC17 has the most suction out of all of them. They aren't all the same. I hope this helps. You can also get a much better deal if you go to www.factorydirectsuperstore.com I have purchased quite a few items from them and they provide excellent service and pricing. They have every kind of brand you could ask for. I believe the shipping is free and no tax.

The motor head is worse the brush bar barely touches the floor. I have had both the dc59 animal and the dc59 Motrhead and I like the animal much better. Dyson claims the motorhead works better due to its stand alone powered brush bar but I beg to differ. I think they failed with the brush bar itself and didn't put it low enough. Get the animal, it's a cheaper better vacuum.

The Dyson does not work well on anything. I suggest you buy another brand or else you'll be sorry.

Not a thing! I looked at both of them side by side in Kmart where they sell for up to almost $200. I researched a lot of vacuums because I had my heart set on a Dyson for years until I realized one day that my family needed one that would trap the allergens. Bagless vacuums do not do a good enough job at that. I will say that this is cheaply made but the suction is great!

Hi Rachel~sorry for the delay in answering~computer has been out for several weeks and just got a new one!! The Dyson is certainly quieter than my last one and I really haven't noticed much noise because I am so amazed with the machine~it is WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for your interest!! Merry Christmas!!!

It's too bad no one has replied to your post - I have the same question! I can only tell you that I currently have a Dyson (w/ all hardwood floors & two cats) and I am not impressed. Good luck.

It all depends... For myself, I like in a small apartment and a full charge is more than sufficient to vacuum the entire house. Thus it becomes a full sized replacement for my home. I actually stopped using my full sized Dyson since I got this. Do note that it probably does not have enough suction to handle carpets. Only hard floors.

I tried both. This (older) model is much richer and powerful, though still intended for smaller spaces; single rooms, etc.

Well, I have an older DC14 which I bought back in 2004 and is still going strong so the question is whether a cheaper machine will last as long. My previous vacuum cleaners by other makers (my last was an Oreck) lost suction after about two years. Between 2001-2004 I went through 2 vacuum cleaners because they didn't work well, suction decreased, (and I had the expense of buying filter bags) before I bought my Dyson.

I love my Sebo and I have had uprights - Dyson etc, I believe my Sebo is the best I have ever had!

http://youtu.be/Ll4qKt4Jz00 This will help to explain some differences on video, also DC40It is easy to empty out the vacuum's canister. The roller ball makes this machine easy to maneuver while limiting what the vacuum can go under like couches and beds. The DC40 lets you turn off the brush bar when you are vacuuming hardwood floors. There are complaints that the DC40 has a high pitched whine, though it is quieter than competing vacuums. Cons The DC40's cord length is only 25 feet. The DC41's cord goes an extra ten feet. You may end up unplugging and plugging back in the DC40 as you clean a room. Its bin only holds 0.42 gallons of dirt and debris. If you are cleaning a dirty room, you may have to empty it more than once. The bin doesn't attach as securely as prior Dyson vacuum versions like the DC25. The machine has such powerful suction that it sometimes stalls on shag rugs. The DC41The DC41 is designed for people who own animals. It does a great job picking up cat and dog hair. You have to clean out the suction chamber regularly to maintain its strong suction. It is also supposed to be able to handle more types of flooring than the DC40. This vacuum also has a wider cleaner head, so you'll need fewer passes to clean the floor. The DC41 has a larger bin at just over half a gallon. This vacuum also has about 10% more suction power. This vacuum has auto-leveling wheels to help it get all carpet or tile equally well. The DC41 doesn't need to be adjusted when you transition from carpet to tile or hardwood floors. Cons The power cord is not retractable like earlier Dyson versions. And while this is the latest edition of the vacuum, it lacks the headlight earlier versions often had. The vacuum wand doesn't have much reach. If you want to use the vacuum wand, you have to attach a crevice tool to the hose which adds to the time it takes to vacuum corners and crevices. And then, because the crevice tool is seven inches wide, it doesn't fit into the small nooks and crannies that need to be vacuumed out the most.

That is exactly what I am using it on and it seems to be working out wonderfully. I have two other Dyson (Digital Slim and Animal Slim) that are the previous versions of this and the Motorhead works 100% better. It is expensive, but seems to be worth it.

While it has great suction, emptying the canister is a pain and it does fill fast. I would go with a Dyson. Best vacuum I ever had! I have a Shepard and a Husky!

I went to a professional vacuum cleaning shop, they have been in business over 50 years, I asked the guy is the Dyson the best vacuum and he kind of chuckled and said come with me, he took me through this maze in the back of his shop outside to the boneyard where a huge pile of Dyson's we're piled high, does that answer your question? He said. He went on to say it's a piece of junk, high maintenance and costs a lot of money to clean after about three years of use said go with the sanitaire or an Oreck. I went with the Oreck due too it's lightweight and having a two-story, I love it does the job perfect.

I cannot compare with Dyson, since i never had one. Samsung is working great on carpets, has strong suction, it is very goon on hard floor as well.I have no pets, cannot tell about pet hair. It works very well on stairs, has all necessary headers. I own it for more than a year. Great piece, i love it ( my husband loves it even more - adjustable and long telescopic tube and powerhead)! they are very big in Europe, i wish they were better represented in the US - it was very hard to find it in any store.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.
