Average only - expensive for poor durability – I purchased the Dyson Cyclone sometime around 2003 and was not immediately blown away by its capability to clean. It did an average job from the beginning and it died on me about 3 months ago. Overall I would say I was not impressed with my Dyson. Maybe I got a lemon but I will not buy another one. I was at the shop today and the Sauber Intelligence cleaner for $1200.00 at Godfreys would be a far superior cleaner than a Dyson - there is no meaningful comparison really. German/Swiss precision machinery beats the Dyson hands down. Would suggest Dyson sells on its design and not its ability to clean. Manouvres well, stores easily. Simple to remove dust. Suction average at best. Poor durability.
