The problem I had with the Dyson was that it had a plastic beater bar with fixed brushes. The brushes on the Ricaar were replaceable. For about 10 bucks I can replace them when they wear down. All brushes wear down. It's the #1 reason that most vacuums get replaced. The brushes wear down or the belt stretches and the vac dont perform the way it used to. In the Dyson I used the beater bar was plastic and once the brushes wore I had to replace the whole beater bar. A lot more than 10 bucks. It was just more of a disposable build type. The Ricaar is a better vacuum in the end.
