Dyson DC19

A slightly irrelevant but metaphorically relevant introduction The slightly psycho psychotherapist I’m seeing tends to see every event in my life as being a metaphor for something with deeper meaning. The trip on the ‘looney-bin bus’ is symbolic of the journey in my life (no, really it’s just a bus), removing a spider from my house shows that I’m removing the spiders from my life, and well…it goes on. I’ve come to save up my metaphors and serve them up to her on a metaphorical plate. So much so that she feels that I am ‘mocking’ her. Mock I might, but she is actually scarily good at what she ... more

I recently damaged my Dyson DC 04. We had it 8 years and I must admit that I hadn't been very gentle with it. It was quite heavy and used to find it quite difficult carrying it up and down the stairs and often banged it against the wall or the banister. A few bits had broken off it, and, to top it all off I dropped it down the stairs. I did manage to get the hose bit working but unfortunately it wouldn't work when it was upright. So, the time had come to get a new vacuum cleaner. Now, I've only ever owned one so I didn't realise how many vacuums were out there or how difficult it would be to ... more

My Purchase **************** There are a few different versions of the DC-19 model on the market so I’m keen to point out that this review is about the DC-19 Allergy, which is not to be confused with the DC19i, Origin or Animal models. As much as I liked the look of the Dyson Ball vacuum that had been advertised a lot on the TV I decided to go for something more compact and light that could get into tight spaces. The DC-19 Allergy was the right vacuum for the job. I got an absolute bargain when I purchased this Dyson for just £154.94 a few months ago as it was listed almost everywhere on the ... more

When my old Dyson decided to die on me (I had had it for years), was also the evening that my two girls decided to pour all the hamster bedding all over the new carpet! It didn’t look pretty and when I realised my vac was on the blink, my husband was sent to the local Tesco to buy a Dyson upright. When he came home with the DC 19, I was gutted! I had never really used a pull along vac before and didn’t want to start now, but as this was the only Dyson they had, he purchased one. Dyson: While Dyson have been around since the late 1970s, it is only since the early 80’s that they really started ... more

The Dyson DC19 is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used. It comes with a 5 year guarantee and we've probably had ours near to that amount of time now but it does not need replacing any time soon and I can see it lasting for a great number of years yet. We have all seen the television advertisements for the Dyson and know how good their are and how much design and technology go into producing one. According to an article I read, "Dyson engineers are constantly testing and inventing, trying to find new ways to make their technology work better. As they work, they file patent applications to ... more
