Just bought a Dyson vacuum. Did I waste my $$ or is it worth it?

No clue, this is my first high end vacuum. I was expecting more suction though. It does a fine job, but it doesn't get everything, which is what I want out of something that costs as much as that machine does.

Has anyone tried the Dyson robot?

This is the best portable vacuum you can buy and possibly ever made.

The attachments and power head are polycarbonate, flat tooth belt driven beater brush, aluminum magnesium body, Kevlar bag lining, phenolic resin rollers etc. they will easily last 30 years and still run like new. It's heavy but cleans way better than a Dyson (I own one) and never lets any dust through it can vacuum the smallest particles without damaging the motor.

I bought the Dyson mainly to vacuum my cars but it feels and works like a toy compared to the Miracle Mate. It's powerful enough to use a leaf blower.
