Dyson DC54 Allergy (page 2 of 5)

Great vacuum. This is our second Dyson and wouldn't go with any other brand. We purchased the barrel style as it is easy to manoeuvre around the house and the furniture. Has great suction and power.

I am on my second Dyson vacuum in 13 years
I loved my first Dyson and had to purchase another after it finally died with many, many hours of use
This time I purchased a timber floor connection that slides so easily on the timber and picks up the dirt much easier than using the tile connection, I didn't really think it would make a difference using a different connection but it does it doesn't push the dirt away it sucks brilliantly
I also love the bagless barrel just a flick and the compartment drops down to empty
The Dyson seems to be getting better with every model I didn't think they could but they are less noisy with more suction
I do recommend the Dyson by far a more outstanding vacuum

Amazing vacuum. Have owned for a few years and had other brands previously which weren't doing a very good job and very heavy or zapping with electrical shocks. Dyson Allergy is so easy to whiz around, perfect on carpet and rugs. I have 2 ragdoll cats inside and works perfectly. Only annoying feature is emptying but u will have an annoying feature with anything. Keep in mind ppl are more inclined to take the time to whinge than write a positive review.

I owned a Dyson DC05 for around 10 years and probably raved about it so much around 10 of my friends also bought one, however, I replaced it with the DC 54 and it drives me crazy. It always blocks in one of the bends that you can't access to clear it. I have spent so many hours trying to keep this clear and I now see Dyson has discontinued this machine. I am about to go and get another vacuum cleaner and unfortunately won't be getting another Dyson.

Absolutely terrible, This is my second Dyson, i bought a new one after giving my daughter my old one. What a mistake, you cant empty it without getting filthy and dust all over you, and its continuously falling over. The dust collector is smaller as well. Worst appliance i have ever purchased.Loved my old one, but certainly will not be buying anymore Dyson vacuums

Design of the suction pipe under the bowl is terrible it is always causing blockages. We are always cleaning out this area with blockages, Spoke with Dyson they don't care, I will never buy or recommended Dyson again.
Customer lost for life.
Don't Buy this model you will be disappointed

The DC 54 struggles to pick up cotton or threads off carpet and will not suck up anything that is close to the skirting. On tiles the foot spinner spins the things it should pick up straight out the back and past you, even if you pull the lever up the top to stop it spinning it goes over and over the same piece of debris without picking it up, it is not blocked, this is a major design fault as my last Dyson foot and machine worked very well, I would love for someone to replace the foot with a newer better design or money back, this machine does not do what it is intended for!

OMG. Is this really Dyson?? Isn't a vacuum invented to suck dirt, dust & debris of your floors n carpets? Umm well this thing doesn't do that AT ALL, tho it's called a vacuum (so much for allergy control pheww), in-fact it picks some harder things and flings them at you, nearly got glass in my eye

Previous vacuum was DC 20 Stowaway 10 years.......New allergy barrel only used once for 30 minutes today.....2 storey townhouse 50/50 carpet/timber floors. I'm very impressed......I think Dyson have made a huge leap forward...... Hopefully after a year I'll be just as happy....Not that Dyson barrel vacs have ever let me down.

* The motor has failed just outside the two year warranty period, accompanied by the smell of burning plastic. Used only once a fortnight or less.
* Not as well constructed as previous models
* The felt pad running around the edges of the suction head has come away
* Suction is very good
* Fiddly & awkward to empty, low capacity.
* I prefer the earlier models - they will last much longer. Stay with your old Dyson ir buy a used one in preference to this. It is worth the trouble of cleaning the filters every 6 months with the previous models

Someone who doesn't do the vacuuming has designed this vacuum cleaner. It's hopeless to empty. Dust goes everywhere, even when you empty it over the bin. And dog hair, human hair, threads etc get caught up high and I use a knife to scrape them out. I've now worked out how to remove the clear barrel but it's messy, clumsy and not simple. I wouldn't recommend this vacuum to anyone.

Purchased dc54 Allergy nearly 2 years ago and nothing but trouble! It does not seem to pick up as well and find myself having to get a screwdriver out to undo and remove stuff stuck every time I vacuum!! Not good enough given the price and when I mentioned this to customer service my advise was that I should have checked the size of the inlet duct on purchase! My previous Dyson from the 90's worked a charm for 10 years but now would not buy another Dyson.

After 1 year using Dyson DC54, I wish I should've bought a bagged vacuum cleaner. Emptying the dust can be a messy process especially when it's full. I would prefer to pay $8/bag every 3 months rather emptying dust bin every 2 weeks.

Good thing is suction still strong even bin is full.

This product is rubbish. I purchased it 12 months ago. The Dyson is awkward to use and doesn't clean any better than my old bagless cleaner which I kept. The brush head needs to be continuously cleaned otherwise it clogs up and fails to rotate. It also tilts over quite easily contrary to its claims. It is also awkward to use on tiles. As for emptying the cleaner, the arrangement could not have been designed any worse - clumsy and fiddly. This product does not represent value for money

Hi Everyone, thought my Dyson was not working - Chris at Dyson was a dream:
Problem no sucking spitting out dirt and screaming at me noise that is.
Solution - Blockage in head
One coin 10 cents or 20 cents at the end of the head
undone pulled brush out
Voila there was dirt stuck all around a crayon that had become lodged.
Removal is sucking like a dream - Dyson is wonderful again.
So easy to fix - Hope this has helped a lot of people.
