Has anyone compared this to the Dyson DC39, any comments or thoughts on the performance on stairs, hardwood, carpets and pet hair?

I have not tried the Dyson. I have hardwoods, pets, and large area rugs, I love the carpet attachment, and the brush crevice tool is nice for floor moldings. The filter is washable, which is nice, and the first thing to check if the suction is lacking. I do think it could have a tiny bit more suction, but I might feel that way regardless :D. On bare floors I definitely prefer the bare floor attachment, and I like the design of it. it does okay on pet hair, I think it clogs the filter a little quicker. I have a lightweight cordless I use for stairs....

Never tried the Dyson. It's great on hardwood, carpet, and definitely pet hair! I have two collies and two cats, so I know whereof I speak on this :-) You do have to empty it almost every time you vacuum with all those pets, but since you aren't paying for bags, no problem!

I cannot compare with Dyson, since i never had one. Samsung is working great on carpets, has strong suction, it is very goon on hard floor as well.I have no pets, cannot tell about pet hair. It works very well on stairs, has all necessary headers. I own it for more than a year. Great piece, i love it ( my husband loves it even more - adjustable and long telescopic tube and powerhead)! they are very big in Europe, i wish they were better represented in the US - it was very hard to find it in any store.

Just bought a Dyson City Vac. It has a small power-head but seems to have good suction and I love the attachments and the overall versatility of the machine. I liked the Samsung power-head really well for carpets however, the wand of my Samsung broke and they seemingly weren't able to replace it. Samsung has very poor customer service. Friendly but not helpful. We made several calls to Samsung and were refunded for the vacuum. You may want to check them out on the Better Business Bureau website. Dyson is known for quality customer service.

I had no problem as the suction is so great. I agree with tools for maybe corners etc.... Overall I absolutely love this machine and I am one that swore by Dyson. Both are amazing.

So far, so good. I have long hair, too, and the Dyson just sucks it up along with everything else. I'm really happy with it.

We have 3 dogs. Own a Dyson Animal and just bought the DC56. The DC56 will not serve as your primary vacuum cleaner if you have a lot of fur to deal with. It's great for getting underneath tables and chairs and into tight spaces where our Dyson Animal will not go. So we use both. The Animal comes out first and then we vacuum and mop the hardwoods second.

I really love this machine. I also have the dyson animal for my larger area rugs and carpet. I used to use it in the kitchen, etc but now that I have this guy, I use is on a lot in kitchen, bathrooms and so on. it gets in small places, and like its big brother, you will be amazed how much is in the canister when you finish. it is really good if you have a dog. great suction

Hi, I have the 500 and I love it. Just the right attachments and easy removable hand wand to clean corners and such. I had a Dyson Ball and this one is much better. I didn't like the stand and separate hard floor attachment, they are not necessary as it works great just the way it is. Has a carpet button and then just turn that off when doing the hard floor if you want. Does a better job than my Dyson ever did and you can clean the filters. Huge plus !!!

It's too bad no one has replied to your post - I have the same question! I can only tell you that I currently have a Dyson (w/ all hardwood floors & two cats) and I am not impressed. Good luck.

I honestly would not get this unless you absolutely need a stuck vac. I just bought the DC50 Animal upright and LOVE it! The difference I believe is in the bristles in the brush. I would really suggest looking into the DC50 tho. It's a smaller, more compact upright, but just as powerful as a full size.

I have pets and it's picks up everything on my stairs and you can also rotate the visor on the front to vacuum both vertically and horizontally...fantastic feature! I also clean my furniture with it, great suction. It's a very good handheld, best I've ever owned.

The DC17 is the better machine due to the fact that it uses a upgraded filtration system that does a much more efficient job at filtering sand and dust. After vacuuming a household with the DC15, you will find dust and sand on the prefilter, which indicates that it does not handle dust and sand particles as well as you think. However, the Level 3 Root Cyclone on the DC17 is much, much more efficient at seperating sand and dust from the airstream. It does so with the addition of two intermediate cyclones that handle the bulk of the particles, with eight of the Root Cyclones to filter out the finer particles. I have vacuumed my household many times this past week, and so far there are no traces of dust or sand on the prefilter. The DC17 also does a better job at agitating carpets than the DC15. The DC17 uses a large diameter brushroll that has short stiff bristles, which allows for extremely efficient deep cleaning compared to many of its competitors, as well as every other Dyson model. The DC15 has a smaller brushroller that still outperforms the DC07 and DC14, but is nothing compared to the DC17. In addition, the DC17 is much more powerful than the DC15. The DC17 is rated at 250 airwatts, whereas the DC15 is rated at 220.

I called Dyson on this myself. The only differences are: (1) the attachments that are included and (2) the color. The main body of the unit is the same between the two.

Now I'm confused. Some of you are saying the Bissell 3920 is the best vacuum ever while others are saying it's the worst. I'm not worried about the bulkiness or noise. My main concern is a strong suction effect to lift deep-down dirt and pet hair.

Thanks for the link. They do say the DC25 (which is listed as lightweight and maneuverable) is not as good on thick carpeting as the DC28 or the DC17, which is more economical (presumably because it is an older model).

I just purchased the Dyson 18, as my Oreck was not getting the job done on my shag carpet. For me it is easier to vacuum with the Dyson and it is amazing how much it picks up. So far I am very happy with it!

The dc40 is kinda like the cheaper more affordable model when compared to the dc41. Also depending on your needs of you have more carpet than hard floors I recommend getting the full size dc65 as it was made specifically to clean carpets better. Also the dc65 is a little bigger and more powerful but it also is almost two or three hundred dollars more than the dc40. Hope this helped!

Yes, have a busy home 5 cats, 2 dogs run it daily, makes a big difference between vacuuming. Maintain it properly and you won't be disappointed. Worth every penny.

It's just average. It didn't clean any better than my shark or my old Hoover wind tunnel....I have two dogs and bought the dyson for dog hair....there are cheaper vacuums the do just as good.
