We love this Dyson. It seems to make the whole house, including the air, cleaner. Performance wise or visually, we cannot tell that this vacuum has been re-manufactured. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is b/c it was sent to us with the wrong user's manual. Because of that, we thought we had been sent the wrong set of filters. We went through some unnecessary hassle b/c of that. We finally learned that the user's manual can be downloaded off of [...].

Great product. The vacuum was missing a piece though. Called Dyson and they are supposed to ship it to us but we have not received it yet.

I received the Dyson dc14 full kit upright, (remanufactured) for a great price from Amazon. The cleaner came fast and looked brand new. It came with 3 onboard attachments, and a mini turbine head, and low reach floor attachment and also an extra filter. its fairly lightweight and easy to use and works great! Its much quieter than my older Hoover machine. It does a great job on both carpets and tiled floors. The canister is very easy to empty. I would definitely recommend this vacuum. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I was skeptical about buying a refurbished vacuum, but I wanted a Dyson and didn't want to pay $400+ for it. It came nicely packaged and pretty much looked brand new. I have a large, medium-haired dog and am constantly surprised at the amount of hair and dirt my Dyson picks up! It took a couple of times to get used to the design, but now I love it's simplicity! I also love the attachments - especially the upholstery attachment - it works wonders on the couch. This vacuum is pretty light and quiet as well and I would definitely recommended it to anyone!

I had very high expectations of a dyson after reading all the positive reviews. I expected it to pick up loads of dust/hair/dirt from my carpet on the first use. However, it only picked up 1/4 of a container after vacuuming my entire 4 bedroom house. This leads me to believe that my old vacuum was doing a much better job that I expect. My old vacuum, the Dirt Devil Breeze Bagless Upright, was $60 and had great suction. However, it was a pain with attachments, cleaning the filter, and it fell over all the time. When comparing the two vacuums, here are the positive findings on the dyson:

1) Very easy to empty
2) No filter to clean
3) Very long cord
4) Lots of attachment options

If I bought this brand new for $400, I would have been very disappointed. But since I bought it remanufactured (seems brand new), I am content with my purchase and will be keeping it. If you are on a tight budget, by the dirt devil, it has amazing power. If you are willing to spend a bit more to get the benefits I listed above, by the dyson.
