The Dyson DC-15--Ball technology
By Karen V. Wilson
Ok, so I went today to pick-up my ordered DC-15. Experiencing a bit of buyer's remorse (599.00 for this smallish box??), it was loaded into my car and I headed home.My husband, already won over by the design and "look" of the machine, immediately pulled it from the box. He was busy packing for 2 weeks of Army Reserve summer camp, so he told me to do as much as I could to set it up, and he would help later. My 9-year-old son and I read the 3 steps to set-up. No tools...no mystery...no weird pictures to decifer. In about 3-4 minutes, we were ready to turn the big, yellow, baby on.The amount of pet hair suctioned up in one quick run around of our downstairs filled the clear bin. Emptying it was a breeze and the technology, clever. Later, I took it upstairs. Whoa...serious cat and dog hair (that didn't even look like it was there in the first place!!).I love the ease of using the features. Tools gently slip into place and click. Release buttons provide immediate results. The Ball feature makes moving around corners much easier, although I am still working on my wrist movements to master the turns. The only feature I am still struggling with is the wand release--but, maybe I have to practice a bit more.My brother came over a day or so after I got the machine. He walked in and almost immediately asked me if we had gotten a new rug. I just had to gloat over my new Dyson and he, an engineer, was pretty impressed.My husband took 2 old vacuums to the dump this morning. After he replaced the belt on my Oreck, and before the Dyson arrived today, I vacuumed (within the past 12 hours). That Oreck missed a lot.Go for the Dyson--it's definately a lifetime machine.

By Wayne Fogel
The Dyson Ball is a great vacuum cleaner that features two major improvements. The ball itself is the first major change and it does make it much easier to get the vacuum around furniture. The even more important improvement is the direct drive of the brush. The two major failure points of traditional vacuums such as my old Hoover wind tunnel were clogging (and with a German Shepard and a cat we had lots of clogged bags and hoses) and the belt. The big problem with belts is not breakage, but slippage. As they grow older, the grow slick and slip when vacuuming the carpet. The result is poor performance. They are also a pain to change when you finally realize they are not the problem. Direct drive solves this one and for all. You can elect to turn the drive off with a simple switch when you do not want the brushes turning on hard surfaces, and then turn it back on when you get to the carpets.The performance of this machine is marvelous. It did take up a great deal that my Wind Tunnel had left behind. It is quieter. Emptying the dirt container is much easier than changing a bag and obviously less expensive. You switch to attachment use just by lifting out the accessory tube. Instantly all the airflow goes to the accessory tube and the brush stops. With 17' of tube you can reach virtually anywhere. The attachments stow neatly on the body of the machine. In summary, a superb design, well executed. You will be very pleased if you elect to buy this machine.
