Dyson vacuum cleaners are expensive compared to some others, but in my experience they are of very good quality.
If you keep an eye on the market, when they bring out a new model the earlier models suddenly seem to lose an appreciable proportion of their earlier price.
When the cordless V8 model came out, for example, not long afterwards we bought a V6 model at much reduced cost. The V8 benefits from a few frills, but the actual cleaning power, motor, filtration, etc, are very little different from the earlier model.
Another thing worth mentioning, I think, is that Mr Dyson comes up with all sorts of inventions and improvements whereas his competitors attempt to take advantage of them in their own models, but fail to do so properly because he has had the foresight to patent his inventions!
