The thing is worth the money. We have three Fell monsters throughout the year seem to be just hair. The old Siemens has also breathed his life due to permanent overstrain. So if I can believe the rapturous applause of my wife she would not easily give up the Dyson. I was shocked by the price plentiful, but when he returns as long as the Siemens holds the whole thing into perspective again. We were surprised that the Dyson with "only" 1300 W suction power so much more than bring the same strong Siemens. Now even the often mentioned criticism noise. People - the thing is a vacuum cleaner and no consumer electronics. If I fiddle with the drill or saw mans hears. Hearing protection is in any case unnecessary. I now have no means of comparison to other modern vacuum cleaners - priced they are all somehow similar - but the performance would have to test it to find out exactly. But why? The decision is from the belly out Dür the Dyson like to save in the first place to the expensive bag, and the decision was good!
