Score 8.0/10

+ Nice loking machine. Works well. Compact. Many tools for different purposes.

- Have 2 Dysons now - DC11 (since 2005) and DC23 Animal (2009). It appears that the DC11 is as good albeit a lot cheaper. Suction power of DC11 is the same as the DC23, if not better, even after 4 years. So, I'm not sure if I'll fork out the amount I paid for the DC23 Animal again. In the future, I may perhaps go for the cheapest model with a turbine head and HEPA filter.

Product Features

Shape	Cylinder
Type of Dust Container	Bagless
Bagless vacuum cleaners help you save money on replacement bags but they generally need to be emptied more often and they can be messy to empty. Also be aware that emptying dust canisters without bags can be a hazard for people with dust allergies.
Weight (kg)	8.75

Pet Hair Brush	No
Loosens hair from carpet fibres, however, standard nozzles can be just as effective if you buy a vacuum cleaner with powerful suction. Check the reviews to see what owners say about the suction on their vacuums.
Dust Capacity (litres)	2
Amount of dust the machine will take until you need to empty it.
Multifunctional	No

The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.

Different levels of power are handy to have so that you can use less suction on more delicate surfaces and vice versa.
