Dyson not hoover

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 is pretty awesome expecially when you consider none of that suction is lost as the waste receptical fills. There are no hoover bags to worry about and therefore no loss in suction. The 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...

You NEED to buy a Dyson!

Advantages: All you could want from a vacuum cleaner
Disadvantages: Not a relevant question!

...I LOVE my Dyson DC19! I paid £119.99 from LX Direct and I have also seen this great price in my local Sainsburys so it pays to shop around. This is by far the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned and I have owned MANY ( cats, dog, kids, big house, cars etc), any cleaner in this house is bound to take a bashing and I usually find that the brushes fall apart, or the hoses split and it ends up looking like a comedy of errors held together with duct tape, but not this one!! So, what do I like most? Not having to continually buy dust bags has to be a major factor, and saves a lot of money. Being able to see how full it is - I love this part when my son announces theres nothing wrong with his bedroom and and I go in there with the Dyson and come out with a full tank! Being able to strip it down and wash all the bits is great...

Dyson-ing with a hoover

Advantages: If you like to suck hard
Disadvantages: It does'nt like being hairy

...Now you all know me and I usually do not write reviews about things such as vacuum cleaners, but I thought I would share this experience that sucks, or doesn't in this case, with you all. This one involves a machine called the "dust manager cyclone" made by the famous "Hoover" company. HISTORY For about 18 months we have had a second hand cylinder type dyson vacuum cleaner. Good on its day it is about 6 years old and donated by my Dad. However we have a long haired German Sheppard and when she moults, she moults. This year has been the very worst in all the time we have owned her; probably due to the summer arriving so fast and missing out spring altogether. Hairs in every imaginable place you can imagine, knee deep in the kitchen during our absence during the day, clumps of it appearing like alien blobs in the lounge as...

Review of Hoover DM 5525 DUST Manager PETS RED/Champ

Dyson DC14 a powerful sucker!

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. Filters. Dyson DC...

Dyson Vaccum Cleaner

Advantages: telescopic hose, great suction
Disadvantages: poor quality motor burnt out

...We bought our Dyson a couple of years ago, and had very good results for it in the sense that it would clean very well and remove dirt like no other vaccum cleaner. The advantage of the bagless container was brilliant because you dont have to keep a supply of bags when it get full, the bag type of machines would also get full when the shops are closed and you cant finish the job. The container simply pulls of the machine take it to the bin and pull a lever and all the contents would fall out. Sometimes we would then clean the insides as the container got a bit dirty in the inlet holes. The telescopic hose was another great advantage as we could leave the cleaner at the bottom of the stairs and clean the complete staircase without having to hold on to the cleaner at the same time as cleaning the stairs. We had different types...

Review of Dyson DC07

I am a Dyson Diva!

Advantages: Great cleaning power, long hose, easy to empty!
Disadvantages: Quite heavy, Animal attachment very noisy

...I have 2 cats and already had a Dyson, the original model which had been given to me my Dad and was over 10 years old and still going strong but i was longing for a Dyson Animal so when i had some money passed down to me by a family member i brought one, i was 22 at the time and my other half thought i was nuts for going loopy for a vacuum cleaner instead of dashing out and buying clothes. The Dyson cost me £300ish when i brought it. I love my Dyson animal, one of my cats seems to molt so much fur that i am suprised he has any left and the Dyson picks up all the fur, dirt and hair from my carpets and you can see how powerful it is from what it collects in the bin. The hose on this Dyson is very long and i can do my whole stairs with it leaving the cleaner at the bottom, its good for getting cobwebs out of corners too...

Dyson DC-14

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...

Review of Dyson DC 14 ALL Floors Silver&white&yello

SOORY Dyson iv gone back to hoover

Advantages: Very long waranty, nice long flex
Disadvantages: I think they have used concorde engines in them!

...is made of a very sturdy but plyable plasticHowever the age old problem with dyson uprights they are horendusly aquard 2 use the dont fit into corners or under beds etc so basically you spend half the time with the hoze out using it like a cylinder. We all need 2 use the tools at some point but this problem could be ironed out easily if dyson made the front head of the cleaner flat so it would go under tables Clean under the heaters etc without constantly having 2 use the tools. the tools are however of the highest dyson quality I cannot comment on the stair cleaning capabilitys of the hose as i have no stairs. this new 45% more suction is excellent for carpet cleaning but its 2 strong for using the hose it pulls back at you with some force so i wud keep pets elderly relatives & children out of the way as the force that the vacuum...

Review of Dyson DC07

Dyson DC14 Allergy

Advantages: Powerful, doesn't lose suction and a wide range of optional extras
Disadvantages: I can't get on with the angled crevice tool

...I started out with the original Dyson DC01 but I was always convinced mine wasn't as powerful as my mums and didn't remove dog hair very well. After buying a new carpet I bought the DC14 Allergy at a special offer price a couple of weeks ago and I wouldn't be without it now. It almost takes the carpet up with it!! And it loves dog hair. It really does make vaccuuming easy. When using the pipe, it almost takes off but I guess you need to actually be holding it to believe it. The only thing I can't get on with is the angled crevice tool. I much preferred the straight one on my original Dyson. You can also buy a mini turbine head to attatch to the pipe (which I will invest in) which makes cleaning stairs even easier. The pipe is long enough to reach to the top of the stairs in one go. All in all, a fantastic cleaner....
