Consumer Reports has tested the DC28, and it has earned a "Very Good" score on the carpet cleaning test. They also noted the pet hair performance, as well as tool airflow performance. However, they made a note of how the DC28 may be difficult to push and pull on carpets....which can be the case only if you don't have the brush dropped low enough; like trying to vacuum deep pile carpets with the "short pile" setting.

The additional gadgetry in the brush roll housing adds to the vacuum's nozzle weight when pushing and pulling.  Add the usual vacuuming resistance from brush roll action, it makes pulling/pushing an issue and the proper height setting more important.

Hi,

To be exact CR scored the DC28 as "very good" for carpet, "very good" re tool airflow, "excellent" re emissions, "very good" re pet hair, "excellent" on bare floors, "good" regarding noise but only "fair" in regard to handling.

Though I will never rush out to bring one home, these are the best scores I have ever seen for any single Dyson model by way of CR.

What I also wonder about is how long all this lasts. I feel it's easy to put a new machine through it paces for a short time but the true assessment can't be established until a couple of years or so down the line. How long will the electronic and pneumatic systems endure and are they easily repairable or replaceable by users?

As usual for dyson his inventions mean nothing to the vacuum cleaner buying public, no benefits at all to the buyer,just an  excuse to keep the r@d money flowing,

You guys talk about everything that means nothing to the consumer,sounds like research lab mumbo jumbo, when is dyson going to learn that a vacuum cleaner is a device for picking up dirt and filth from carpets and flooring? And that as long as the dirt comes out of the carpet the public really doesnt care how,

How much does this piece of artwork cost ? 3 or 4 thousand?

I see the famous dyson cyclone system cant keep up with an industry standard brush system,Oh no what do we do now,retards

Hello Venson:

The  BIG 3 for Consumer Reports are Carpet Cleaning, Bare Floor Cleaning and Tool Cleaning.  HOOVER WT Anniversary Edition for $230 aced all 3 of these categories with EXCELLENT.  WRT Emissions, H-WT is EXCELLENT; WRT Handling, H-WT is GOOD, WRT pet hair, H-WT is VERY GOOD, WRT noise, H-WT was FAIR.  Oh well, wax earplugs are cheap enough and prevalent in all stores.  If you're old like me and can't hear well, noise is not a factor for vacuums.

Do you guys not have any stores where you can visit and try them out? In the UK we have John Lewis; they let you spend enough time with it before you decide, even if you don't make a purchase.
