Overall Impressions
In fairness, the problems I had with the "collapsing hose" were largely caused by an ongoing bursitis/tendonitis problem. My adult son had no problems.
I was initially very excited by the advertised "17 ft. telescopic reach, because we have a high vaulted ceiling with large windows covering one wall which are magnets for spiderwebs. When I realized that the 17 feet included a flexible hose, I was disappointed. However, by placing the Dyson on a table and standing on a ladder, my son was able to free those windows of cobwebs very quickly.
As an asthma patient, I particularly appreciated both the HEPA filter and the fact that the plastic tank was so easy to remove and empty.
At around $500, the price of the Dawson is daunting. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at a sale price, or with a 20%-off coupon, which is sometimes available through certain retailers.
