Dyson Stick

[Horndogg]

Hi I am thinking of buying a Dyson Stick Vacuum and I am wondering if anyone has bought one? Are they any good? Are they just as good as a regular Dyson? do they clean hardwood floors too? Thanks

Good question, re: the hardwood floors. I'll be moving into a new house shortly (Nov. 16th) with hardwood floors and I don't want them getting scratched/dented up from the vacuum. People at work recommend Swiffer, but I have heard the chemicals in Swiffer pads are not healthy for our furry friends' paws.

The Swiffer story was a hoax I think. http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/swiffer.asp

I've had one for a couple of years now and find it very easy and convenient to use. I like that it is so light and simple to empty. The only drawback (for me) is the fifteen minute charge; I wish it was longer. I would buy another, though. Best vacuum I've ever had. Good luck!

I don't have a dyson so I cannot comment on this brand. However I do have hardwood floors and use a regular vacuum. The brush head is full of bristles all around the edge so it doesn't scratch the floor. I have not used a Swiffer on hardwoods. Often I take a damp cloth to wipe up stains, works well, doesn't damage floors.

I'm thinking of a cordless vac for my hardwood too, hard to keep ahead of the dust bunnies and I hate sweeping all the time!

I had a Roomba, it was great while it worked, sucked up all the dust and dirt. But its battery went kaput, apparently a common problem. I'm very reluctant to purchase another, as I don't think that problem has been resolved and they are not cheap! We have mostly wood floors, only carpet remaining is on the stairs going to the basement.

I have the dyson vacuum, orange rolly ball kind (free from garbage) the front had fallen off they thought it was broken..
anyway..is this the new one advertised on tv that vacuums at the same time it cleans your floors?

No, I think the Dyson Stick only vacuums, but it is cordless.
