Does it come with a bag? I like throwing away bags, not emptying canisters where 1/2 the dust that was vacuumed in goes back out into your house as you empty it.
Very meh, even for a refurb. There are comparable vacuums that clean as well or better for the same price with a longer warranty. There's a reason two sites can have the same refurbished vacuum for sale within 24 hours of each other.
No canister model ? That I might of purchased. Or not. I'm going on vacation and you are going to vacuum. bwaahhahaha Have fun !
*note very punchy from being up and trying to pack and not wanting to pack. Please forgive my small wee amount of gloating. I haven't been away in a long long time.
I feel sorry for the cat lady in photo 5, though she does appear to be young enough to have adequate time to be able to turn her life around. And at least with the Dyson she will not always be choking on feline dander.
Just learned that using this kind of vacuum is actually damaging to your carpet. It does indeed suck with the voracity of a thousand hungry piranha, but supposedly it has the same effect as the piranha on the carpet fibers that weren't made to stand up to both your considerable bulk mashing them down and this nature abhorrent creation pulling and scraping them up.
I bought one to go head-to-head with the Shark I got on woot several years back. I really hope the tangle free attachment is as advertised because the Shark's pet attachment has to be de-furred after every use.
These are good. TOO good actually. The one I bought from Woot in ye olden days of yore still works great. Same reason I haven't bought the Roomba or the almost-Roomba. Please stock things that fall apart more easily.
OK, I think I'm ready for a Meh 5-deal-a-day site-- One each for vacuums, speaker docks, Kindle gadgets, fans (You know that Dyson fans will be coming soon), and then everything else.
--- Just saying --- Not a complaint, mind you, and I know it breaks the whole one-Meh-a-day theme, but I suddenly feel the need for more Meh options in my day!

meh, this sucks
I see what you did there ;-)
oh good. Because if it blew we'd have a problem.
First Roomba, then Amazon, now Dyson. This Wootishness must stop! Meh.
How does Amazon fit the vacuum pattern? Wasn't there another robotic vacuum offered too? Where is the robot that cleans the Roomba?
I was just referring to things that used to pop up frequently on Woot - though they didn't start selling Kindles till the 'Zon took over.
But you're quite right that much of the mehchandise we've seen thus far LITERALLY sucks!
meh.....cheaper than @snapster's old site right now, but still don't want one.
Not a bad deal, just don't need one :(
Why should I buy this over an $80 Hoover Windtunnel?
Because unlike your Hoover, this vacuum will get the dirt out of your carpet, not just what's on top of it.
Highest return rate in all of vacuumdom. Best marketing though, so I totally want one.
Not bad, but still $190-290 more than I paid for my last vacuum cleaner.
(Curbside find before trash day. All that was wrong was a paper/hair wad that was obstructing the hose.)
True. Meh is no match for your dumpster diving find. But still . . .
I need one for the upstairs of my McMansion!
I want one, but can't afford one right now, even at this price. Dammit, Meh!
Yep. Right there with you, @PurplePawprints
$229 on woot Tuesday. (50 mins left)
That's like $40 cheaper on meh! Math!
Right. My point was, 'same item'. (boo) Gave price for lazy folks to compare.
You know, they're not selling these in a vacuum!
Hmmmmn. These deals seem eerily similar to another daily deal site. Almost as if the other website was his older brother or something. So suspicious.
Did a truckload of these "fall off the back of a truck" or what? Geez. Meh. Muh Windtunnel's just fine.
Do we really need expensive boring crap so often?
I like cheap boring crap.
Sorry meh. We still use the Dyson that was purchased on woot about 7 years ago.
Me too!
Meh!
meh too!
A Dyson? Here?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Wonder if they are just getting the Woot leftovers.
are you saying........ sloppy seconds?????? thought so........
Does it come with a bag? I like throwing away bags, not emptying canisters where 1/2 the dust that was vacuumed in goes back out into your house as you empty it.
These are bagless.
I think the tools and the manuals in the box are in a bag. So yes, technically it comes with a bag.
Pro tip: Empty the canister into your trash bin. Too much trouble? Get a cheap bagged vacuum and use that to suck out the canister.
I just take the canister and trash can outside and empty the canister there. Doesn't everyone?
My solution is dumping the dust from the canister on the floor and then turning on your Roomba to sweep it up.
Same item both sites... thought this was unique and improved concept ... meh
I'd be shocked if the product was vastly different.
It is a unique site in that it only sells 1 deal a day. Also, it's a better deal.
Too bad it's not Dual voltage. 😡
Give me a free voltage vacuum cleaner!! 110v sucks [weep]
Thats what u call a Meh offer
What's next, Leakfrogs?
Refurbished Sansas first.
I'm waiting for brown Zunes.
Why all the emphasis on vacuum cleaners?
Because meh knows we're all filthy people who live in squalor.
Because a product sourcer found a good deal on them.
Very meh, even for a refurb. There are comparable vacuums that clean as well or better for the same price with a longer warranty. There's a reason two sites can have the same refurbished vacuum for sale within 24 hours of each other.
Is this product free of voltage? Because I'm Korean...
Love the last photo. I seriously laughed out loud.
No canister model ? That I might of purchased. Or not.
I'm going on vacation and you are going to vacuum. bwaahhahaha
Have fun !

Mashing the Meh button...Mehshing the Mah button...
I feel sorry for the cat lady in photo 5, though she does appear to be young enough to have adequate time to be able to turn her life around.
And at least with the Dyson she will not always be choking on feline dander.
And these are only the ones in this part of the house.
Also the ones who AREN'T afraid of the vacuum
The transition to woot! moves 1 item closer.
Now just offer this Dyson every week or so and we can just wait for the next site to come around in 10 years or so. :D
Is there some Dyson graveyard full of refurbs hidden away in some Indiana Jones type warehouse?
see gif below.
meh, I don't understand the deal or how its a deal? the current refurb or good used prices are cheaper on amazon for the same thing ?
Not anymore.
Please share the links!

I don't understand the last picture. Why is she vacuuming the walls? Don't Dysons have the ability to suck the butt out of a cat?
I bought one to go head-to-head with the Shark I got on woot several years back. I really hope the tangle free attachment is as advertised because the Shark's pet attachment has to be de-furred after every use.
Had to buy it, just to find out what a Purple A-meh-nal is all about!
Meh.
