Like many people I had hesitated between Dyson and other brands ... Dyson Award is quite high and it makes you think ... But I noticed that the Dyson DC29 is more polished than its competitors, as I do not often change the vacuum cleaner, I think the strength is important in the long run! I do not regret my investment and that is why I took the time to post comments ... Very pleased with the DC29! It sucks hard, how effectively. Okay we hear it, but not exaggerate, nor my old vacuum cleaner bag. It's great to see in the transparent tray that collects and quite amazing! Should talk to me paper bag. Just one minor complaint: the hose should be 50cm longer, because when we want to aspire to the top of a buffet with furniture brush, I have to wear sometimes ... Thank you Amazon for the price lower than that found in stores in town and for the speed of delivery. In summary: it DC29 worth its price of about 300 Euros and I recommend it!
