Are the Dyson vacuum cleaners as good as they say they are?

Are they worthy of the tv-commercial air time? Or is this a case of "if
you advertize it, they will buy" ?

They are just trying to justify a high price. Some people will buy
something just because it costs more.

Curious that you have such a strong opinion on something you don't
own. Virtually all of the reviews from people that actually bought it
are 4 and 5 stars (Dyson Animal). Google has a review consolidator -
click on the "all reviews" link.

Are there any reviews by an objective, unbiased source (e.g., Consumer
Reports)?

The cognitive dissonance problem with owner reviews of higher than usual
priced stuff (e.g., Macs, Kirby vacuums, etc.) is that having spent the
extra money, the buyer must now report how superior the product is lest
he be seen as a sucker or even a fool...

And no one would be pissed off, feel that they had been screwed and
leave a bad/horrendous review in retaliation? I find almost just the
opposite in almost everything - people more readily leave bad reviews.

Of course there are 'unbiased' (everybody/thing has a bias) reviews.
Consumerresearch.com reviews the reviews and is a pretty good first
stop on such things.
