Derek the Dyson

Advantages: Glides around the corners and really gets pet hair up
Disadvantages: The crord, heavy to push aroundand the cylider is a lot better

...My husband bought this recently as my old dyson was on it's way out, I didn't have a animal one before and I have a dog so I knew I wanted a animal vaccum cleaner, I loved my old dyson and you can't beat them!! I waned a change so I got the upright, I had a cylider one before and a knew I wanted a ball too. So that was it the DC25 animal was it!! I am so pleased with it but I think the cylider one was better, the cord was longer and easier to get around!! It had a better design as well, this is harder to push and the cord is far to short So if your thinking of getting the DC25 animal I would consider the cylider one, I think there a lot better. Still brillant to pick up pet hait though and it glides around unlike the other types!!...

Dyson DC25 Animal - Having A Ball!

Advantages: Large collecting bin and great suction!
Disadvantages: Not so Lightweight, and Power Cord could be longer.

...I bought my Dyson DC25 Animal about a month ago now, and have been very pleasantly surprised by the results. My old vacuum worked perfectly and I was more than happy with it, but once it started emitting smoke during use, I knew it was time to purchase a replacement. I did a little internet research and as we have a cat, the animal dyson appeared to be our best option. I was intrigued by the "ball" by Dyson and went to Curry's to have a closer look. The handling of the Dyson Ball is very smooth and remarkably easy. Once you've released the locking mechanism that keeps it upright, the vacuum becomes very flexible. No more pushing and shoving the vacuum around the room or furniture. With a simple turn of the wrist the Dyson goes exactly where you want it to go. I've found that the suction is incredible. With my previous...

Dyson Ball DC25

Advantages: Very light and very manoeverable.
Disadvantages: Bit too light and moves around a lot.

...The Dyson DC25 all Floors vacuum cleaner is a revolution in houshold cleaning. Not only is very good at picking up small pieces of dust and dirt,but the filters are washable which makes it cheaper than some other types of cleaners. I love the way it manoevers around furniture and as it has a small and low head it can get under the edges of furniture as well as under my radiators. Something my old Dyson couldn't do. It's very light weight, weighing only 7.5kg so it makes hoovering upstairs that much easier. The only draw back of this weight is that when you are using the extension hose to clean furniture, curtains or to get behind things, i found that if stretched to it;s limit the machine would move around and has caught me in the ankles several times. This is a little annoying as i have had to stand with one foot...

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 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...

Dyson DC-14

Advantages: upright, powerful, easy to use, good tool storage
Disadvantages: no cord rewind, awkward hose for stairs, bulky

...a good way of making sure that the unit is emptied when necessary. Even though the dyson feels heavy at first, once switched on it glides easily and swiftly over the carpet, and brings the pile up beautifully. The weight of the unit actually helps with the cleaning, as the dyson does the hard work and keeps the downward force and suction while the user merely has to guide the dyson around. It is actually very light when the suction is working, and can be pushed by a small child when being used. The large wheels make moving the dyson around simple, and they do not catch on the cable, which can sometimes get in the way. It also improves the gliding ability and maneuverability. The storage arrangements for the hose and tools are very neat and tidy, and make good use of the design of the unit. The metal hose slides neatly into...

Dyson Delight

Advantages: Great for stairs and furrniture
Disadvantages: It doesn't store on the Dyson

...I love my Dyson, I have done since the day I bought it. BUT it does have a downside - with three fluffy cats running about the house a fair bit of cat fur gets deposited and my Dyson was not great at getting the stair carpet clean. The tools that come with the machine and attach to it just were not up to the job of getting hair (that seems to be glued to the carpet fibres) off the stairs. The brush just got entangled with hair which was no help at all and the crevice device could persuade the hairs to let go. It has long been a disappointment - however the other day when browsing around Comet I spotted a solution the Dyson Mini Turbine Head which fits Dyson models DC04/05/07/08 and DC 14. This little attachement manages to provide a little mini Dyson powered vacuum on to the end of the accessories tube. I could hardly wait to...

Not clean with out DYSON DC22

Advantages: Tremendoous cleaning power, allergy suffers brilliant
Disadvantages: None

...Dyson, ahh, what can I say? We owe alot to James Dyson the founder of these beautifully engineered machines. This guy has developed products worth over £3bn dollars. Whenever I thought of Dyson vacuum cleaners 10years ago, I used to think, fancy colours, pricey and a good reputation. Nothings changed then and hence 10 years on I will review the DC22 Allergy. The first thing you notice about this little machine is how little it actually is. You wonder how the technology actually fits in the machine. TOOLS It comes with 2 extra tools - one for cleaning sofas and larger raised areas, and the other a longer tool with a brush attachment for curtains, siderailings and other hard to reach places. With the telescopic holder you can literally hoover the ceiling! STANDARD TOOL AND HOSE One of the brilliances...

Review of Dyson DC 22 BABY Animal

Dyson DC24 Vacuum

Advantages: lightweight, small, ease of use
Disadvantages: small dustbag

...I love this vacuum!!! Its so light, compact and really easy to use even my husband can use it!! I have already got a dyson vac but needed to replace it due to it being old and bits starting to drop off (sounds a bit like its owner really!) I saw this on a preview and really liked it. It is only 3/4 size of a ordinary vac as the handle collapses inside itself. It is very easy to use as you just twist the handle to steer the vaccum on its ball rather than vaccing backwards and forwards. The beater bar can be switched off with a button on the front of the vacuum when using the attached tools. Even if this vac is 3/4 size, it does just as good a job as a full size one. The dustbin is only small and requires more frequent emptying but this is not a problem. Stairs are easy to do as the power lead is quite long and the vacuum very...
