Advantages: small, good for small spaces, easy to store Disadvantages: suction not up to par
I purchased this dyson having owned a dyson for many years, and then my new puppy decided to chew any chewable parts that it had, so opted to buy a new one.
Now initially my mum had went and bought me a miele hoover, which was not an upright or bagless but the suction is apparantly superior, but i prefer an upright and when i tried to vacuum my rugs with the miele, i decided an upright would be the less physically demanding cleaner for me, which is always important to a busy mum and housewife.
I searched the net and found one on cdiscount for £179.99 which was on offer at the time, so i went ahead and bought it and looked forward to receiving it. I chose this one instead of the dc24 as i have a lot of stairs in my house and the smaller size appealled to me as not being as heavy as a larger one, would be easier to take around ...
Advantages: Bagless, powerful, 5 year warranty, great suction. Disadvantages: No cord auto cord rewind.
This vacuum cleaner is the latest addition to my home, after my Vax bagless finally gave up.
The one I am reviewing is the DC14 for carpeted floors, though there are the DC14 animal and all floors versions.
Dyson claim that it never loses suction, and I have to say (at present) is completely true.
The Features:
Root Cyclone Technology.
This means that it maintains powerful constant suction, so that you get deep down clean.
Telescope Reach Wand.
This enables you to reach high places without having to assemble awkward parts. The wand has quick release and expands for instant cleaning.
The vacuum cleaner is approved by the British Allergy Foundation for use where allergy suffers live and work.
NB: BAF is a UK charity with the aim of improving awareness,prevention and treatment of allergies.

Advantages: upright, powerful, easy to use, good tool storage Disadvantages: no cord rewind, awkward hose for stairs, bulky
I bought the Dyson, as I wanted a vacuum cleaner, which was capable of coping with cat hair removal and also had a high filtration level for asthma sufferers.
Each DC-14 is colour coded to the special facilities it offers.
I have the steel gray and purple version, which has the Hepa filter, extra pet hair mini turbine head, adjustable brush for carpets and tiles plus the standard tools.
The standard model is yellow and gray, and does not have the adjustable brush. It is suitable only for carpets, not for tiles.
GOOD POINTS
For standard use, it is very effective on carpets, and it is shocking at first on how much dirt has been picked up. It does perform much better than my old vacuum cleaner.
The clear dirt collection section, which allows you to see how much dirt has been collected, may seem gimmicky at first, but is ...
