Dyson DC39 Questions & Answers (page 3 of 3)

I don't have the turbine head with my vacuum I have the muscle head which automatically adjusts between hard floors and carpet.

unfortunately with dyson animal you will be changing heads and the hard floor tool is a wiggly mess so hard to navigate because its structure is rotating too much during use. for the carpet tool also yes you will need to find a coin to struggle to open without ruining the cheap plastic is made of then pull rotating brush from inside take a pair of scissors cut thru the hairs then pull them out and throw them somewhere. this is by far the stupidest dyson i ever touched. totally user unfriendly! fits very little dirt in the clear container so i live alone house isn't small and i still need to empty after every vacuum and to empty is is harder than in the older models

meant to say 'house is small' as i live in a city townhouse 2bedrooms so not big at all.

If you have lots of carpet, I would recommend this one. I would suggest the suction would be the same. It's the attachments that make the difference. I used the comparison table on the Dyson website. http://www.dyson.com.au/vacuums/ball/ Hope this helps

Absolutely NOT! U r sincerely better much much better off with an older dyson model due to design functionality and overall friendliness of use

i disagree with jenny51. i only have 3 rooms yes all carpeted in a townhouse (just to see the area isn't massive) and within one vacuum i have to empty the clear bin (messier than with old dysons) as it reaches max limit very quickly as the brush removes layers of carpet not just dirt! you can get exactly same motor /suction power with an older model that also doesn't have a brush that ruins carpets like the triggerhead tool on the dyson animal does!

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.

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 :)

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

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

Hi and thanks for your question. I measured the cord length at 6.6m (6600mm)

I got mine for $698 and that was on special the original price tag was $749, if you can get it for $585 snap it up!!!!

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.

$610 from Harvey Norman rrp was $749

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 bought mine from http://www.powerbuys.com.au/
I found them to be the cheapest.

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.

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.
