5.0 out of 5 stars Love this vacuum, September 11, 2010

I have to completely disagree with the previous review. Yes, the head size is narrow but that makes it able to get into more places. Yes, it is lightweight, but that makes it so much easier to use and in no way affects its performance. It is a super vacuum removing much more sand, dog hair, dirt and debris than our previous vacuum, which is a cumbersome, heavy, bagless upright. The collection canister is very easy to empty. Our carpet feels so much softer as well, so the beater bars must be working - and that's with no extra weight applied, just normal movement. We also feel it works better, by far, than the built-in we had in a previous house and the Miele we had while living in Europe. The whole engineering of this vacuum is far superior to any we've used, addressing many issues other vacuums have. So, you have to make a couple extra passes. It moves so effortlessly the only thing you'll notice is how clean and soft your carpets are.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice vacuum, but "motorhead" is worthless, November 21, 2009

Compact, bagless, seems to create great suction. Just one problem: the carpet attachment included with this model is narrow and pathetic. I've used my share of vacuums over the years, but I've never seen anything like this. I measure it at 9" across, which means you have to make a lot more passes to cover your floor than other vacuums you've probably used. It's also very lightweight, and rests fairly high on a wheel where it joins the wand, so that it tends to skitter across the carpet rather than aggravating it. This is on normal, tufted wall-to-wall carpet. You can get it to work if you apply downward pressure on the handle while vacuuming. Takes forever. I checked the dyson website, and no other motorhead seems to be available. In short, if you have hardwood, buy the "turbine" (air-powered) version of this. If you have carpet, avoid it like the plague.

2.0 out of 5 stars Short "Love", September 29, 2010

Unfortunately, my "love" with my Dyson DC22 Motorhead canister vacuum was only one day long!
I have it returned to Best Buy next day after delivery.
Even vacuum itself performed well, but it was so inconvenient to use it.
It has heavy, bulky handle, too narrow motorized head, which stops as soon as
load increases a little bit, awkward accessories mounting, too short electrical
cord with very weak winding. The worst is stow away. The hose would not stay
wound, accessories bracket falls off. And all that comes with $800 price tag!!!
No surprize that it has been discontinued.
I would suggest Dyson engineers to rethink this vacuum design.
