We bought our first Dyson refurbished and loved it for two years, came back for our second and decided it was time for a “new” one since we fell in love with our Dyson ball 2. Then Dyson had to show me the animal 3….hands down THE BEST vacuum I have ever used, the price tag hurt a little, you know, because it’s a vacuum, but it was worth every single penny!   10/10 will buy another when this one eventually dies too.  I’d like to think I won’t have carpet much longer, but I’ll gladly keep it with this awesome machine around!
