If you have pets, this is a great vacuum to have as the attachments are quite handy. Just wish the cord was a bit longer but that’s problematic with other Dyson models.
I’d be glad to know why so many of these need to be refurbished, if they’re so good?
This is a serious question; I’m moving into a new place and also - why are they not beloved of Consumer Reports? (Guess I should subscribe, but…)
They often get returned to stores because people realize that they just spent $600 on a vacuum cleaner that they can’t afford. I see this happen rather frequently.
The difference is just the age of the model. The standard looking Dyson models are older designs, some of which they still manufacture. All the current generation are ball models.
Edit: I guess that doesn’t answer your second question. Yes, there is a difference. The motors are more powerful and more efficient, the head and brush bar designs are different, cleaning the ball vacuums is easier. The ball vacuums, being the newer models do perform better, but they’re more expensive.
Edit 2: You can check out this video, it’s a bit of a comparison between models.
