Dyson DC 08 Origin

Advantages: Design lives up to its promise.
Disadvantages: Price.

...a little afraid that the Dyson would not live up to its promises, and that I would be stuck with a gadget that looked pretty rather than an effective cleaning system. CLAIMS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER. The Manufacturer claims to have invented Cyclone technology which sounds very fancy, but what in fact does this mean to the average housewife ? It meant nothing to me when I bought the machine. They were empty words. Cyclone technology is supposed ...
...particles into a pile. The Dyson has a small suction hole at the front of the machine which picks up any particles that may accidentally have been pushed forward by the machine. This is extremely useful and more important than other design features, as I know that my cleaning is effective right to the edges. NEVER HAVING TO BUY FILTERS Now this was a big plus. I do not know the readers experience of hoovers, although I would imagine that most people ... Read review

Advantages: Superb suction
Disadvantages: Very pricey

My love affair with the Dyson vacuum began many years ago when as a poor student I spent my summer holidays working as a cleaner in an old folks' home. In those dark days, the Dyson cleaner was the only ray of light in my otherwise gloomy days of dusters, dishes, toilet cleaner and mops. Now, anyone who has ever visited my flat, been in my car or even seen my desk at work for that matter, will know that I'm not the world's tidiest person and might ...
...a lifelong affiliation to the Dyson vacuum cleaner. The Dyson I used when employed as a cleaner was the original yellow upright Dyson. So impressed was I with its cleaning ability and most importantly, the ability it gave me to actually see the dirt as it was picked up, that as soon as I could afford to buy one, I went out to buy a Dyson all of my very own. And what a joyous day that was! In case there is anyone out there (I do pity you!) who is ... Read review

Advantages: excellent suction and power, clear bin so you don't lose stuff, you don't have to buy new filters, vast array of attachments

...beneath it. The Dyson DC08 Animal** is going to set you back £299 at most electrical stores and is widely available. It looks just like this picture, except the colours are different. It's purple where the turqoise is, and silver where the blue is. The cheapest price I could get was £257.99 from www.electricaldiscountuk.co.uk. If you find it cheaper elsewhere, don't tell me!! This included delivery within 48 hours - very impressive. BUILD AND PORTABILITY ...
...the old hoover away. This Dyson basically has an answer for everything. I'm sure if you asked it nicely it would make you a cheese and pickle sandwich. It even has an in built clippy bit so you don't have to hold the hose. And it's my favourite colours! WHY IS IT MORE POWERFUL THAN MY OLD HOOVER? Dyson go on and on about their revolutionary Root12Cyclone™ technology. Whatever… I don't really care what they call it. It picks up dust, pet hair, and ... Read review

Dyson DC08 Origin Dark Steel/Yellow Cylinder Cleaner. ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- As far as luck with household electricals go with me it is all or nothing at all as when one seems to come to the end of its life cycle all the others soon follow in its footsteps. Any way that is my little moan out of the way, back to the reviewing. I recently found myself having to replace my old ...
...decided to go for the Dyson DC08 Origin Dark Steel/Yellow Cylinder Cleaner. The reason for my choice is that I have heard Dyson are top quality and I needed a good cleaner due to having asthma and a very furry dog. After then browsing through the various retailers of this model I found myself purchasing it from Argos as it was on offer from £199.99 down to £174.99 and still is if anyone want one, so hurry. (I should be on commission from Argos.) ... Read review

Advantages: Design, suction
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

I bought my Dyson 2 years ago, at that time it costs £250 and I felt it was money well spent. First of all, I live in a flat which, for good or bad, is fairly big and was, until recently, carpeted throughout. This basically means that there is a lot of hoovering to do. A few years ago, I decided to swap my old carpet - lovely pink - to a new one and made the awful mistake to get a dark blue carpet which means that EVERY specs of dust can be seen ...
...in order to use your Dyson to the best of its ability, hoovering with a Dyson is a complete different exercise than a normal hoover. Thanks to the amount of suction and the wheels at the base of the head, you glide your unit instead of pushing it down. It is an effortless exercise. Best of all, the Beast climbs stairs !! Thanks to its design and weight - approx. 10 kg (20lb) - it is easy enough to pull it behind you as you climb the stairs, it will ... Read review
