I have been using 2 different vacuums in my home for a number of years
... a Kirby, to do the carpeted portions of my home, and a Bissel V to
do the tile floors throughout my greatroom, utility room, and bathrooms.
The Bissel recently lost it's suction power, so it was going to be
time to get a replacement. After reading a number of reviews and being
an "old foggie" type person, I decided to replace the Bissel V (and
possibly the Kirby as well) with the more traditional style of Dyson's
line of vacuums, the DC28 model. I placed the order late in the
afternoon on September 5th, and frankly was very surprised that it
arrived this MORNING, Sept. 7, 2012, using Amazon Prime, which was well
less than 48 hours after I placed the order. What a pleasant surprise,
for my introductory use of Amazon Prime! After unpacking it and putting
it together (which was very easy to do,) I first vacuumed the carpeted
floors in my home - bedrooms and hallway - and was very pleasantly
surprised at the suction power it has - considerably more than my Kirby
has, which now I am going to donate to my church, as it will do a better
job than what we're using there at this time. As mentioned in other
people's reviews, the canister needs to be emptied quite frequently, but
it is very easy to do, and immediately I noticed the air in the house
was better than before. After vacuuming the carpeting, I did the tile
floors - greatroom and bathrooms - and it did an excellent job, even
picking up little stones that came in on the feet of my two Miniature
Schnauzers. So, although this is only Day 1, from what everyone else
says, I fully expect to be very satisfied with my new DC28 for many
years. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone who prefers the "old
style" vs. Dyson's new "Ball technology style" vacuum, although saying
this, keep in mind this DC28 is quite heavy and not self-propelled, so
you certainly get a good workout after vacuuming 650-700 square feet of
carpeting - which I consider to be another PLUS! ...Dyson DC28 Animal Upright Vacuum
