nice concept, shame about the reality

Advantages: dyson bagless 'concept' is fantastic
Disadvantages: overly complicated design and peripheries - doesn't do what it says on the tin

The bagless concept by Dyson is fantastic the concept works - it cleans, maintains suction, and there are no bags cannot fault it. however, never in the field of human endeavour has something been so over-designed to the detriment of function. each small design feature, piece of plastic, notch and cover no doubt works well. When you put the whole package together, it fails dismally. The brush heads both clog with animal hair very quickly, and the ...
...this is the animal model) other brands have successful brush heads that do not clog. This is a distinct over-sight in an animal branded product. less time on fancy colours, more time on getting the thing to work. all the suction in the world does not help when the brush will not rotate! I have had this product for 3 years - and it has not been fun! II am buying a SEBO Felix Pet - read reviews on that soon! ...

Get your kicks from errr... Root 6

Advantages: Powerful, Portable, Looks like a space-gun
Disadvantages: Price,. Noise

...would be unfair. No, the Dyson Root 6 should truly be called a handheld vacuum cleaner. "Why?" I hear you ask... well let me tell you. Dyson, as anyone that hasn't been living under a rock for the last 10 years will know, shot to fame with their revolutionary "bagless" Hoover(tm). Only you can't call it a Hoover(tm) because that's a trademark too. Bagless technology meant that there was no loss of power as the poor vacuum motor had to suck air ...
...a fair few years before Dyson made the leap from "regular" vacuum cleaners to handheld ones. In fact, they only came on the market last year. I can only guess that it took them this long to perfect the design - or think up the marketing that would allow them to maintain their premium price-tag. Regardless of the cause of this delay, Dyson finally got a handheld to market in the form of the DC16 Root 6 in "Steel & Yellow". Looking more like a hand-gun ...

Dyson DC25 - If you've got pets it's brilliant

Advantages: Manouvreable, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

I have a number of pets (almost too many to count) that leave hair all over the house and after my vacuum cleaner gave up the ghost i started looking for a new one. I was originally drawn to the DC25 because of the fact it will pick up animal hair. After using it for the first couple of times i noticed that it had far better sucking power (alright that probably isn't the technical term) than any other vacuum cleaner i have ever owned. My carpet has ...
...the attachments on board and they all have places to clip onto the vacuum which is a great thing for me as i usually put things down somewhere and completely forget where i put them. The amazing thing about it is that instead of having the typical standard four wheels it has a rolling ball mechanism which makes it so much more manouvreable and easier to access to spots you never could without moving the furniture with a normal vacuum cleaner. In ...

Review of Dyson DC25 ALL Floors / DC25 BALL HEPA

Durability

Supports 11 homes a week

Advantages: Easy to set up, no bags, very effective
Disadvantages: You have to wash the filters monthly and can not use them for 24 hours while they dry

...been seriously considering buying a Dyson for awhile and when I saw that they came with a 5 year warranty I was sold. I assembled the Dyson at my customer's home with no tools and began using it right away. I now use the Dyson ball in every home and it never fails. I don't use a broom anymore either because the Dyson so effectively picks up all the dirt. I also have a need to use the wand portion of vacuums readily and the Dyson handle easily comes ...
