Dyson DC19

Advantages: Great sucking power, easy to use, easy to put away
Disadvantages: Not easy to store, specific storing method!

This is quite a popular vacuum as a lot of people i know have this particular one!!! One feature i hate, always will and always have is the storage method!!! you basically roll the vacuum head into a little concave indent! This means you also have to have the specific head on it!!! You cant stow it away with any other head except the man one! Even then it is so large to put into a cupboard or something! However it is relatively simple to use! Great ...
...is great and it has a cable retraction button so you don't have to worry about winding it up! Its not the best of the Dysons we have had but it certainly isn't the worst! It is very reliable and hasn't broke down once for me and it cleans very well! The main head has two features built in... A Brush and suck, or just a suck option!!! I received this vacuum relatively cheap, i think i secured it for around £120! It is great at cleaning, my favourite ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, easy to use, great price, 5 yr guarantee
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...hoover (and I assume any Dyson product) is a 5 year guarantee on the machine and all its parts. I simply had to fill in a short form on their website to be covered, and as long as I keep the receipt they promise to get an engineer to me within three days should anything go wrong, I must say this has given me great piece of mind. So to sum up I would definitely recommend this hoover to anyone looking to buy one and here's hoping I get many years ... Read review

Advantages: strong suction power, removes ingrained dirt and dust, easy to use, host of tools
Disadvantages: flawless

Dyson hoovers have always been a favourite of mine throughout my adult life. My first DC01 cost well over £200 and the DC08 that replaced it was just a shade under £200 so when it came to finding another replacement after 2 years of very faithful service and great suction I was impressed to find the DC19 on offer for only £139.99 from Dixons. Other makes or models were not an option as I am firmly a believer that Dyson make the best hoovers around ...
...model of the now famous Dyson cyclone technology which makes it easier to move around and much lighter than earlier models, yet it retains the standard 1400 watt motor that gives an air wattage of 280 watts. The higher the air wattage, the more likely the hoover is to remove even the most stubborn ingrained dirt and dust. Quoting such statistics is all very well and good, but in real terms this sort of power is nothing short of amazing. Being a regular ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant design, Excellent suction, Well-built
Disadvantages: If I have to list one... No Turbine Head tool included

This is my second Dyson vacuum, which says a lot in itself! I have owned an alternative "bagless cyclone" vacuum, but found that none compare to the suction power of a Dyson. Just like they say on their advert, if you want something like a Dyson, get a Dyson. It certainly costs more than most vacuums, but the 5-year warranty included probably makes it worthwhile (in addition to the tremendous suction power). The good quality design continues to ...
...so will slide under almost any furniture that has a 2-inch ground clearance. Other furniture tools are standard fare, and now attach to the vacuum body (rather than as previously on the hose). The tube extends easily, without needing to be separated into 2 sections like most cylinder vacuums, which is a nice touch; it also has a sturdier feel to it than most modern equivalents. One thing I would like to see included is the Turbine Head (which is ... Read review

Over four years old, mine has fared well, the only breakage being the fastening clip on the bottom of the long tube and a split in the cable by the plug. The former isn't vital - suction holds the brush head on. The cable was fixed by cutting and a replacement plug. It's light and easy to use especially on stairs. Suction is very good and it gets 98% of cat hairs out of old carpets Gripes: The turbo brush head needs disassembly and de-furring every month - only four screws but lots of awkward fur traps inside. The hose-mounted accessory holder doesn't hold. if you have a large house and pets you will probably need a model with a bigger bowl.

Advantages: No loss of Suction
Disadvantages: Sometimes find it hard to get the hose back in.

...I have had my Dyson DC01 for about 6 years now and its the most brilliant hoover that I have ever owned. I thought when spending £230 (thats what it cost me 6 years ago) I was making a mistake. Every hoover I have owned as either lost suction or just give up the ghost, this Dyson how ever is still going strong no loss of suction and just keeps on going. The only repair I have needed for DC01 was a new hose which cost me £19.00 direct from Dyson and they were so helpful. I have brought the cleaning stuff called Zorbit up and that works on really dirty carpets. They now have a website too www.dyson.com and you can purchase more tools like the turbo brush which will be my next purchase. Its a great hoover and worth every penny.... Read review
