Dyson vacuum cleaners suck

I had a friend who bought a Dyson and it stopped sucking. Ask me if I could try to fix it. I Said yeah that I had heard they plug up with dirt and needed to be cleaned out with compressed air once in a while.
So that's what I did, took it apart and could see build up of fine dirt powder. I blasted away the dirt powered with compressed air and put it back together.
I couldn't resist trying it out. I wanted to see what a $500 vacuum would do because all I ever had is cheap walmart $100 to $140 vacuums.
It's got legitimate suck power. It's like a professional carpet cleaners vacuum, except it only holds like 2 cups of dirt/dog hair. It tries to pull the carpet up. If you don't have an air compressor and an air gun don't bother.
The only time I have seen a vacuum suck and beat carpet that hard was when I ran out of Kirby bags and stuck my big shop vac on the Kirbys bag hose and ran them both.
I called that the poor man's professional vacuum, 2 stages of suck power and a pretty strong brush head and 7 gallons of dirt capacity.
