There is a nice deal today on a Dyson DC27 vacuum while supplies last. This is a factory reconditioned model and it is about $200 off the regular price at $191- your shipping is also free.
Here is some information provided by Amazon:
Just like our brand new machines, the rebuilt machine then undergoes a comprehensive series of electrical and performance tests to ensure that it works as it should. For our vacuums, one of the tests carried out is a suction test. All refurbished vacuums are electrically tested in compliance with electrical and safety requirements. One of the primary differences between a new Dyson machine and a refurbished Dyson machine is its appearance– a scratch here or there or a slightly clouded bin may provide a clue that it has been previously used. After it has passed all of the tests, the machine is then packaged and sent out. All Dyson refurbished vacuums come with a 6 month parts and labor warranty.
This is an awesome deal! I bought a refurbished Dyson. I was a little skeptical, but it arrived looking brand new and I have had it over 2 yrs with no problems at all!!
I have one refurbished that I have had for nearly 10 years. My son snagged it about a year ago and I picked up another 1/2 price on clearance at Target. LOVE Dysons, have NEVER had any problems with them. Before my kids and I could kill a vacuum in less than a year!
