Dyson always good

published

I have both timber floor and carpet as well as vinyl in my place. The Dyson Ball is as good as the old Dyson I bought before. Always a good investment with Dyson. Easy to move around, suction is very strong. Only downside is the cleaning is not that convenient.

Cannot live without my Dyson

published

I cannot live without my Dyson!! Love love love. It picks every single thing up from my carpets or from my tiles. Attachments are awesome for my car too. It isn't overally loud. It manoeuvres good. It isn't heavy to move. Cord length is ok. Price is abit much but totally worth it. Won't go back. Love it.

Not worth the money

published

I was very excited to finally buy a Dyson for our new home last year and have been very underwhelmed by its usubility and it's performance. I have hit my new skirting boards numerous times with the bulking ball, it gets stuck around corners, the cord isn't long enough and it stratches my vinyl floor boards. I had to buy an extra attachment and even then I have to go over areas numerous times chasing small pieces of dirt!!! Will not be replacing it with another Dyson when it dies!

Wow just wow what a disappointment.

published

Where to start.
The head drags along smooth surfaces and had scratches in it after 5 minutes use.
The flex tube is so short.
The variable vent needs to be held up and is not able to be set in a position for sustained use.
Feels nasty and flimsy.
Roll over design? Why?
So you can snap of the on, of button and one next to it that poke out like a single hair on a head.
Suction average.
It pays to read some reviews
Swapped it for a Miele C3 and now we have a real vacuum.

Not happy

published

I bought this to replace my Dyson animal upright that had broken after 7 years i was very happy with it but thought i would go with a non upright this time .To be honest it just does not pick up half the dust and hair the old one did i also bought the turbo head a month later thinking that it might make a difference but it hasn't.I have a wet and dry vac that we use in the shed and i have found that does a better job im really upset with this and wish i had stayed with the upright as this has just been a big waste of money

Good vacuum

easy to use vacuum cleaner. The shape helps move it around with ease. Easy to remove vacuum changer and envying made easy with single pull. It is large so it may not be so good for apartments. Well built and can see it being used for many years to come.

Dyson animal pro

published

I puchased the dyson ball animal pro earlier this year to replace a dyson I'd had for about 20 years that had fallen apart. I love the animal pro. The suction on flat carpet is amazing. Really strong, removes a lot of dirt. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver and comes with a slew of really handy tool attachments. Comes with a power head for carpets, and a hard floor tool, which is good as the power head is so powerful it won't work on the hard floor! New, push button cylinder empty function makes emptying easy. I love it!

Amazed with power on carperts

published

I have been hesitating a bit with purchase of Dyson due to its high price compared to the alternatives. However, I have decided to go for it as we are having large carpet surfaces all over our place and we are concerned about dust allergens depositing within the carpets. In fact, it turned out that this was very wise decision to invest in this vacuum cleaner since it is very powerful and cleans carpets thoroughly. Really great performance

Great product!

published

I absolutely love this vacuum! Dyson is by far the best brand for house hold vacuums. I wouldn't buy any thing else.
This is only the base model and it still does so much. It's performance was surprisingly fantastic for a base model product. I recommend it to my friends and family.

Great for moving around the floors

published

I purchased the DC54 after using too many cheap vacuums from other companies. We decided to get a decent vacuum. This vacuum does vacuum up pet hair and dust. It is great for cleaning out the car. However after purchasing the model before this one for my son which was a brighter yellow canister, and a bit heavier. I realized that the suction was much better in the older model. This is the only reason that i am giving this DC54, a 4 as that I like the body of this vacuum for its movement. However greater suction would me more appreciated.

Good for teh price

published

It`s quite handy and easy to use. Suction is 8 of 10 to my opinion. Light in weight which makes it easy for my 13yo daughter to use. Quite loud though. I have carpet everywhere in my house plus 3 pets - the cleaner does it`s work but not easily. Would recommend anyway as cheaper options normally fail where you have pets in house.

Love this vacuum

published

I ummed and ahh'd for about a year before finally buying this vacuum. I am terrible at big purchase decisions and tbh at the price point it's a big purchase in my eyes. Definitely recommend purchasing the small swivel head, makes using the thing come up from 3 star to 5 star seriously. The big head is brilliant for carpet vacuuming but I have hard floors for most of the house. Easy to use, easy to empty, easy to clean the filter, don't have to buy filter bags etc etc. No complaints. Zero.

Best vacuume around

published

This vacuume is hands down the best brand out there, great suction, easy to clean and they last forever. We had a Dyson when I was a kid and it lasted a really long time. There are knock off dyson vacuumes at Kmart and the like but none ever come close to the quality and longevity of the Dyson.

Big Ball Origin

I have a Dyson Big Ball and while it sucks ok without the head on as soon as i put the head on it blows!! I end up with dirt spread all over the floor and none in the vacuum. What is the solution to this?

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for reaching out.

Based on this, it sounds like there is a blockage or restriction in airflow through the machine which can cause this to happen.

For a Big Ball Origin, please remove the floor tool and thoroughly check the airways for anything caught prior to retrying the machine.

If you aren't able to locate any blockages or we can assist further, please reach out to [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be more than happy to assist further.

Best wishes,

Shan
