Vacuum Cleaners

Advantages: Power, vaersatility, suction
Disadvantages: weight (minor disadvantage)

Having own the original style Dyson some years ago, I had an idea what to expect with the acquisition of the DC 14 when my old hoover's wheels literally came off (wasn't a Dyson by the way). The new Dyson clicked together in a few minutes, I even followed the instructions, and within a minute of registering the Dyson on line for the 5 year guarantee I was hoovering away. The DC 14 boasts some excellent features not least the 1400 w of suction which ...
...waste management system on the Dyson is again a triumph of style and simplicity over hygiene. By grasping the handle of the clear waste tube and clicking the button with your thumb, it comes away in one unit and a simple press of the button unlatches the bottom and the waste simply drops into the dustbin - no hassles. 'They are so heavy though' I hear you cry, well yes they are quite heavy and if you need to get it upstairs it can be difficult, ... Read review

Advantages: very powerfull
Disadvantages: long

...another, the piping on this Dyson is joined through plastic clips. This means that it can be dismantled easily. How many times in the past have you been desperately pulling attachments off the hoover arm because they seem to be superglued together by some mysterious force? I know I have. MANUAL There is a manual in 13 languages which was interesting to navigate, although not really considered essential as the Dyson Animal was so easy to assemble ... Read review

Advantages: quick and easy great cleaning results
Disadvantages: upholstry and stairs left too wet, not right up to edge

I had a smell in my one room I could not pin down. A major clean was required. I looked into hiring a machine for a weekend, but it was going to cost me the best part of £100. I shopped around and purchased this from Costco for £100 + vat I could have got it cheaper, but the return policy from Costco is brilliant and I did not want to wait weeks for delivery. The machine comes in a box and needs some screw driver constuction, but this is basic and ...
...opening the box to geting it working took about 15 minutes. The machine is like a slightly noisy vacuum cleaner, but it did not wake the children, but holding a detailed conversation is not possible. It takes no time to cover a large area even going over twice, although it disappointingly does not go right up to the front edge with the detergent dispensing which is just behind the suck up bar. ( I think I am going to get a garden spray bottle to ... 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

Advantages: Strong, relatively good value
Disadvantages: A bit heavy

Henry, the vacuum cleaner is a really wonderful thing. For less than £100 you can get a really reliable vacuum cleaner that leaves your floor much cleaner than before. It does however take a little more effort than the more conventional, upright machines, but the effort put in with Henry really does pay off in the clean results you'll experience. The Henry is also good because of its vast capacity to hold all of the dirt that you've collected from ...
...because although it's longer before you have to empty it, the inner bags are a pound or so more expensive for a pack of them and after a while the machine does start to smell. The smell is particularly bad if you have a dog, like a I do as the machine starts to smell of dog. I originally wrote this for www.dooyoo.co.uk ... Read review
