Salinaasked

I had a Dyson vaccum cleaner before and very happy of it. Unfortunately, it was broken after 8 years. I am looking for another Dyson which is more compact (DC47). Is the turbine head automatically change between hardfloor and carpet. The sales assistant showed me that you can stop the turbo spin by touching the button on the head. But then I won't be able to restart the turbine spins by foot for touching the button again. I need to either lift up the head to pull the button out or stop the machine completely. Please tell me is it true how to use the turbine head with carbon fibre brushes.

Hi Salina,

Thanks for your interest in the DC47.

The DC47 brushbar contains Nylon bristles for removing ground in dirt from carpets and carbon fibre brushes to help remove fine dust from your hard floors. For most uses, you shouldn't need to turn the brushbar off, although you may need to for some delicate floors or if your flooring manufacturer recommends to do so.



If we can be of any assistance please call us on 1800 239 766. Our helpline is open Monday - Friday 8am - 6pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30am - 4pm.

Best wishes,

Sue Sherlockasked

On the Dyson dc39, please explain how to clean turbo head and upholstery head. Can the clear section of the container completely come off so the dust that gets stuck in between the red and clear sections can be removed? If so, please provide instructions on how to do this.

We have two "in house" dogs, we are considering updating our old Dyson to better cope with the dog hair (not a lot but still needs to be gone) what model would others suggest, we have recently purchase a battery "animal" model and it does the job superbly but a little small for the whole house.

Bernie Sunshine Coast Quasked

I have just bought my Dyson multi DC39 and have used it once and am so disappointed and even wondering if I have a "dud". The suction on my low pile carpet is terrible with the $199 vacuum I previously had having more suction than the Dyson. For example, I have to go over a thread of cotton or a bit of fluff a few times before it is picked up? Please advise?
I have no animals, children just two adults in the house ... even on the wood floor it seems to push dust and crumbs around with my having to lift the Dyson broom on top to pick things up?

I find that very strange. If I was you I would contact either dyson or where you bought it from and consult them about it. It just don't sound right to me.

Sky89asked

On the specification on the dyson website it indicates that DC39 Multifloor does not have High performance on carpets. It does say that it is suitable for carpets and hard floors but not High performance on carpets or hard floors??? I'm confused shouldn't a vacuum called Mulitfloor have high performance on carpets and hard floors? Can anyone comment on this.

It is high performance on everything. I have owned it for a month or so now and am very happy with it.

We have found this machine to give "high performance" on both hard and carpeted floors. I would add we have two live in/out Labradors too and even without any specialised tool, (which is available if you wish), this machine does a perfect job quickly, easily and without fuss. We are more than satisfied.

The reason probably is that there are models specially focussing on carpets for instance pet hair or allergens. The brush attachments are different. By and large Dyson performance is excellent in any case.
I haven't had any issues with performance on carpets at all. The reason for buying this model for me was my house has a lot of tiles as well as carpets in the bedrooms. Don't need to keep pressing buttons transitioning from hard floor to carpets, etc.
The carpets look fresh and "combed" once vacuumed but you always have the option of getting a turbo brush, or go in for the next up model. Its a good idea to try out both machines side by side at the store to compare.
Hope this helps :)

Can you blow up air beds with this

Hi, I don't think so, there isn't another outlet for the hose to go, so it only sucks air, not blows it out anywhere, would be good though, the suction is so fantastic, if there was a "blower" action, they would be inflated in no time, hope this helps

Ritu

No, I don't see any outlets either and there are no options to reverse the airflow either.
Good luck shopping!

Hi. I paid $604.95 shipped (The shipping component was $9.04) to Bundaberg, Queensland from www.powerbuys.com.au I might add that they did not have it in stock at the time so there was a delay of several weeks before it arrived.

Hi Kirsten, I bought at Good Guys, not sure if they are in Victoria though. You should get a few prices then go to your local discounter and ask if they will match the price. I got $100 off the in store price by doing that. The Dyson is expensive but I am really happy with it.

I am wondering if there is special attachment required for the use of wooden floor boards? I feel as though when I vacuum, it is suctioned to the ground..any hints?

Not that I'm aware of, at least not one that comes with the vacuume (may have to purchase it seperately if it exists). I don't have that problem with it suctioning to the wooden floors. Maybe if you open up the air vent it will lessen the suction.

Kim31

The Pet/Allergy one comes with the hardwood floors head. its basically a bristled head that you put on in place of the motor head. it is available seperately to purchase.

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Rach & Nick,

Both Hellie Bellie and Kim31 are correct. The DC39 Multi floor has two suction release valves under the head itself if you find the suction too strong. Simply slide them towards the centre to release some suction. Alternatively, a seperate hard floor tool is available.

If we can be of further assistance please email us at [email protected] and we will be in touch.

Best wishes,

Shan
