COSTA MESA, Calif., March 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dyson ranks highest in the upright vacuum segment and Miele ranks highest in the canister vacuum segment, with customer satisfaction for each brand driven primarily by vacuum performance, according to the J.D. Power 2016 Vacuum Satisfaction Study,SM released today.
The study measures satisfaction with upright and canister vacuums by examining six key factors of the experience (in alphabetical order): ease of use; features; performance; price; styling/appearance; and warranty. Satisfaction is calculated on a 1,000-point scale.
"Customer satisfaction with both canister and upright vacuums increases year over year; however, the vacuum product segment lags in terms of overall satisfaction relative to other products measured in the at-home practice at J.D. Power," said Greg Truex, senior director of the at-home practice at J.D. Power. "Vacuum manufacturers need to be proactive in product design because consumer expectations are continually changing. They also should provide compelling and accessible content about their products to satisfy savvy consumers who research a brand prior to purchase. Customer satisfaction is higher when they research a vacuum before buying it."
