Dyson DC22 Baby Animal Reviews: , Cylinder, Bagless Vacuum cleaner

+ Light, easy to store, good cleaning suction, good range of tools with the machine and also can be supplemented at a reasonable price. Ideal for cleaning stairs and much easier than the larger models for carrying upstairs.Easy to transport ( I look after my father's house) and very good for car cleaning.

- Short power cable, flimsy extension tubes, small capacity bin

+ small which is great for lugging round the house and storing, turbo brush is amazing for picking up hair, really quick and easy to empty too. Comes with lots of great tools.

- cord isn't long enough to do more than one room at a time really, which is a pain

+ great for a house with smaller rooms and a variety of surfaces. very compact and light also very quiet, best dyson/hoover i've ever had.

- length of cord would be a problem for a larger house.

+ Light, manoeverable, gets to most places,powerful suction

- Small capacity

+ The suction is really good, and the turbine head really efficient. It's small, so great if you don't have much storage space.

- The dust container is ridiculously small, so you have to empty it often - before each vacuuming usually. I can't help thinking they could make the design and use of the telescopic arm and attachments more user-friendly - I feel like I'm swapping between different attachments all the time.

+ How everything folds away onto itself.
It's a dyson.
Light and easy to carry around.
The rotating brushy bit seems much more easy to clean out which is brilliant.

- Due to design the nozel, when extended won't go into such narrow places anymore.
Wish i'd got a more powerful one - thought it would be more powerful for the money but made a bit of a rush decision there.
Haven't had a go at cleaning yet but seems a little complicated.
Plug lead is not as long as my last one - used to be able to plug into the middle of my house and do everywhere - now hardly reaches up my stairs.
Not really a sensible place to keep the tools.

+ Lives up to its claims - particularly good with pet hairs.

- Not really bad, but reason for docking one point is there is nowhere to park the small turbo brush

+ small so storing is easier

- lead is very short emptying after nearly every room as we have a large dog and there is a lot of hair!

+ its manuvourable and light

- the dust container does fill up qickly

+ Great designa nd ideally compact, yet efficient for our small house

- As ever, the price

+ small, quick to assemble, easy to empty good with cat hair

- I have a cleaner come once a week and I use it just for inbetween cleaning of high traffic areas, for doing a weekly clean, I probably would go for the slightly bigger version.

+ Good suction, good at picking up hair.

- Doesn't hold much at all so have to clear out very regularly. The carpet heads are a bit strange as the suction is used purely to spin the rolling bar in the centre of the head, which is good for picking up hair but it's not great for dust, christmas tree needles etc. as the suction disappears out the side of the head through a valve.

+ Innovative design and generally effective.

- Turbo action in waste canister can be easily blocked when only a small amount of fluff has been collected

+ Quiet. Easy to manouvre.

- Still a little bit bulky.

+ price, look, ease of use, good tools, excellent for small storage space, lightweight - easy to carry, small for sitting on stairs.

- sometimes have to go over fluff several times before picks up
