Dyson DC39 Allergy (page 2 of 2)

I can only compare it to my old vacuum the Electrolux Ultra Silencer.The Dyson is better for suction and the power turbine head is great for picking up hair on rugs and carpet but the Dyson is not as good in all other areas. I find the handle very uncomfortable. It is wide and the joins (not in one piece) seem to irritate my hand. The cord is shorter thus I have to change power points. It is not as manoeuvrable as the Electrolux. I think it is scratching my wooden floors thus I need to buy a hard floor attachment. As if it wasn't expensive enough ! It should come as a standard attachment.
Suction, power turbine head
Handle uncomfortable, manoeuvrability not so good, need to buy hard floor attachment

Just bought this vacuum, but am disappointed with the cleaning ability – the floor doesn’t seem clean afterwards. I suspect that the “turbo head” uses up too much of the suction power to suck up dirt effectively. However, the main problem I have is that while it’s supposed to have a HEPA filter, it generates noticeable airborne dust while in use, and there’s no way I’d want an allergy sufferer anywhere near that.

For the price, I expected much better.
Better than the $50 vacuum it replaced. Looks nice.
Price; doesn’t clean very well; creates airborne dust

The Dyson DC39 Allergy is the best vacuum cleaner I've ever used. It picks up every bit or dirt and specks of dust, I was shocked by how much dirt is collected. Also helps greatly with prevention of my daughter's hay fever so would highly recommend for anyone who has a family member with asthma or hay fever.
Fantastic results
Expensive but well worth it

I heard about this model being lighter on its feet and so on and that's true but performance has dropped in line with the wattage which has dropped 100watts!! If you have the previous model and want CLEAN - stick to the old model!!! If you want average clean and a lighter machine then this is the one for you. I'm very disappointed as I bought my first Dyson for the cleaning power....
Light and very manoeuvrable
Very average cleaning power

Absolutely worth the money, if you dont have to empty the bag at least twice in the first room you do ill be surprised. This model comes with the turbo head which for carpet you must have, it also features the mattress tool which is similar to the stair tool only smaller. The ball technoloy is cetainly interesting and seems to do what it advertises, in short i love the dyson and will never change back to another brand.
Does everything it advertises
Expensive

I've only just bought this product yesterday but I absolutely love it! The amount that came off our rug was incredible, and also amount that came off our floor boards! we have 3 cats and there was always hair covering everything that other vacuum cleaners just couldn't suck up.It's a bit heavy to use, but only because of the suction power..so I don't mind. I recommend this product and am very happy with my purchase :)
great suction power, easy to empty
bit heavy to use but only because suction is so strong
