Dyson DC24 Reviews: , Upright, Bagless Vacuum cleaner

+ I wanted a lightweight cleaner which this is.

- Not very good to use when cleaning stairs etc the extentsion pipe is not long enough and the suction is not as good and as I have four flights of stairs in my house this is important to me. When emptying the container I have to put my hand in to get the pet hairs out.

+ Light weight for ladies.Good suction.

- none

+ Light to carry up and downstairs. Easy to empty

- No attachment for cleaning stairs or a crevice tool

+ works extremely well and very compact.definately works on all floors!

- the price of dysons are higher than the competion

+ Good for small properties and light enough for the elderly but powerful suction adequate for any job.

- The dust collection unit could have been slightly larger.

+ Very lightweight,very compact to store, fantastic suction power. Easy to use attachements especially on the car interior.
Expensive purchase but I think worth the extra.

- Cable needs to be longer.

+ Easy to store.Good on wool mix carpets.Easy to empty

- Not good on soft bedroom carpet.Had to use hard floor system. Hose does not stretch full length of stairs
We did not realise this when purchased.

+ Small lightweight design

- None as yet

+ Fantastic for stairs etc as so lightweight. It is neat and great for storing. Strong suction and good small front brush for getting underneath the sofa etc

- Cable could do with being about 2 metres longer.

+ light weight and easy to move and store.

- cable a bit on the short side

+ small, light, owerful

- cord could be longer and hose could be longer

+ VERY LIGHT AND MANEUVERABLE.

- DUST CAPACITY. AS USUAL THE TERRIBLE EXTENSION ARM FOR HIGH UP CLEANING.

+ main reason for bying was light wieght but pleased with the power anyway.

+ very light, good suction, easy to manouvre, small and compact

- the on-off button seems to stick all the time so you have to keep pressing it to switch the vacuum off.

+ light weight small

- tools very comlicated

+ ball easy to navigate easy to clean out as no bags - good suction always gets alot of crap out the carpets - love using it

- sometimes the ball sticks on the carpet doesnt turn as easier on carpet as laminate

+ VERY LIGHT TO LIFT AND MANOUVRE. GETS EASILY UNDER FURNITURE AND UP TO SKIRTING BOARDS.
VERY GOOD FOR PET HAIRS.

- QUITE EXPENSIVE.
ONLY PROVIDED WITH ONE TOOL AND THE BRUSH GETS DOG HAIRS STUCK ON TO IT.

+ Very light and easy to use.

- Have not found any yet.

+ lovely and light, picks up very well, easy to empty.

- longer lead needed.

+ Mobility, pet hairs, good filters

- cable too short.

+ Lighter than the usual Dyson, so much easier to use. Gets much nearer to the edges and can be lifted with no problem. Don't mind having to empty it more often.

+ Small and light weight

- Does not pick up all the pet hair as I would have expected.

+ The way you can move it

- Too complicated and time consuming to clean and use. Very small does not hold a lot of dirt. I feel like i'm pulling it apart half the time to clean or use different parts.

+ The lightness of the product and the height it reduces to for storage.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ Very Small & really sucks....!

- Too small its like a toy vacuum cleaner, don't get sucked in by just the picture as I did...!

+ Great cleaner as most every dyson I have had. Very Tiny and compact which is good for me as I am short but a taller person may find this a bad point.

+ ITS GREAT LITTLE HOOVER AND IS VERY EASY TO USE

- THE ONLY THING IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ITS THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE ITS NOT TERRIBLY LONG BUT IT DOES THE JOB

+ Does the job fantastically well. I am of the very nervous and always-in-a-hurry type. So I want a vaccum-cleaner to work at 100% capability all the time.

- Price

+ Small and compact, easy to carry around the house, easy to clean and maintain.

+ Lightweight,excellent suction and cleaning

- Dust container very small, flex not long enough

+ Very light and easy to move around on hard floors

- Can stick on carpets, even with the brush on or off.

+ cleans well/easy to store/easy to empty

- needs a longer flexible pipe/extra tools would be useful-ie for corners etc..

+ Small and easy to use and has got a lot of power considering the size of the machine.

- Rather small flexible pipe and only one tool on board machine.

+ lightweight

- short flex

+ Really good suction including up to the skirting.

- Hose not long enough to reach to top of stairs.

+ Compact and lightweight.

- Teribble for doing stairs because extension hose not long enough.
Power cable not long enough.
When in brushes/carpet mode it does not pick up lint well enough.
A bit difficult to change to different nozzles
Nozzle position of attachment slips from brush to non-brush mode too easily.

+ Nice and compact. Lightweight so easy to carry around. Takes up very little storage space. Good design and performs great on all floors.

- The hose is difficult to extend (needs bit of strength - not good with arthritis) Certainly doesn't reach up the stairs but then again the machine is so compact, it can easily be carried up and sit on the stairs. Also the flex is not really long enough.

+ Light weight, compact, versatile

- Attachements not long enough

+ not sure other than lightweight easy to move around

- lots of them really not satisfied with this, thought there is no value for money absolulty over priced for what it does or lack of doing more to the point, it doesn't pick anywhere near how i expected and think its basically a ripp off.

+ It's Lightweight, very easy to empty rubbish, very easy to click tools together.

- cable not quite long enough and a little stiffer than
i would expect.

+ Excellent vacuum for carpets, hard floors and ceramic floors, and I have two cats. Lightweight and easy to carry around, including (and this is important - see bad points) up and down the stairs as you vac them. The ball takes a bit of getting used to, but by second or third time around, it all becomes quite easy and you realise the benefits of the manoeverability and lightness. The dust container is easy to empty, although there is such a maze of little levers between the button pressed to detach it and the base, I wonder how long it wll be before one of them breaks. Easy to store due to the collapsible handle. Despite Which saying this was a rather noisy vac, I feel it's quieter than our previous Dyson (one of the first models) and the cats don't flee. Despite the drawbacks outlined below, I think I would still buy this again, for the price, the good job it does on floor cleaning, and ease of general use.

- The hose is too short. It will only reach about 4 or 5 steps, even with the extension attached (which makes stair cleaning very awkward) However, the vacuum is light enough to just use the hose and attachment, and carry up or down with you, resting it on a step while you clean (although necessary to hang on to it while you do) We live in an old house with high ceilings and even with the extension attached, I have to hold the vac in one hand while dusting the tops of the walls/ceilings. There is (somehow not surprising) an extension hose you can buy from Dyson. The dust container is a bit on the small side and I'm sure one or two extra cms in diameter wouldn't have added that much to the overall weight. However, you get used to emptying it a couple of times while you vac, and it's easy enough to do. I thought only one tool was a bit mean - there are others, but you have to buy them as extras. Despite the light weight, this might not be a good buy for less agile or older people, due to the need to carry on stairs and for high ceilings. If those aren't a problem for you, then it's good.

+ very light ,small ,very good suction and has not problem with dog hairs

- stairs are not that easy to do as hose is a bit to short but this is only miner as it is a great vacum

+ Very light and easy to manoeuvre. Stores well and like all dysons clean to use

- Needs empying frequently to maintain good suction. Could come with a few nozzles

+ Light and maneuvreable

- the flexible extension lead could be longer

+ Lightweight but good suction.
Compact and easy to manouvre except on long pile carpet.
Can switch off brushes on hard floors.
Can see easily when needs emptying.

- Bit plasticy, Not as solid as the Sebo.
Not easy to push on long pile carpet.
Bit fiddly fixing attachments on.
Basic machine not great on stairs on reach or performance.

+ exelent

- none

+ It's light. It's easy to use. It's stores away easily. Picks up well.

- Extension hose could be a bit longer.

+ Light, easy to handle and store. Good suction.

- Flex could be a little longer.

+ It's great for a home with pets, especially a dog which moults a lot like mine, it picks up every hair with ease. Very easy to manoeuvre and also quite light.

- Only one, it needs emptying every second use as it's quite small.

+ light and easy to use

- none evident yet

+ Light & easy to use

- Hose is not very good for stairs

+ Almost makes hoovering enjoyable as its so easy to manouevore.

- On/Off button can be a bit hit and miss as it needs to be pressed a certain way. Could probably do with more accessories as standard.

+ Good Suction, Light, Easy to empty

- Shorter cable and hose than previous DC04

+ It's light and very flexible. Good power.

- Horrendous stair pipe which has to be removed and flipped over for use.
Power lead far too short .
Would probably recommend it for a smaller house as it has to be emptied more often.

+ Incredibly easy to use and does what it says on the tin!

- None!

+ light and compact ideal for small space or little storage

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Light weight, easy to carry, easy to use due to weight.

- On/off button very sensitive.

+ excellent suction, good for dog hairs too and gets into confined areas.

- heavier than I'd anticipated

+ The main reason I purchased this cleaner was for the size and ease of storage which it has lived up to its expectations. You have the size of a cylinder but the ease of an upright due to the way the handle slides down the hose. Suctionm is very good also considering it is only a 1200. Very pleased.

+ Glides easily over all floor surfaces, lightweight and maneoverability is great

- Attaching the hose for stairs is a bit time consuming at first but get used to it easily.

+ The machine itself was very easy to assemble (no tools required) and the packaging was not at all excessive.Its ease of use is just as promised and its performance very good. In fact I would go as far as saying that in a lifetime of vacuuming this was the first time in 40 years i found it a joyous experience! My hearty congrats and admiration to Mr Dyson for the 2 innovations built into this machine - i consider him a true intellectual hero.

- None discovered as yet.

+ light and easy to maneauver, this can be done by me and I have a disability

- bag needs emptying very often, but then a bigger bag would make product bulkier and heavier

+ Very compact, very good "sucking" action,, I found the tool extension a bit complicated to start with but once I worked it out I really like it. I found the instructions a bit obscure - some narrative with the diagrams would have been helpful.

- A bit "plasticky".. I was a bit scared when I first emptied it that I was going to break some bit of plastic.

+ Ease of Use
Gets into difficult to access places

- Very Small dust space, needs emptying too often

+ picks up very well and is light to take upstairs

- i do have quite large rooms in my house and lead once plugged in will now reach to other end of my lounge diner guessing i should have bought full size hoover wasnt really aware what ultra meant.

+ light and manoverable, easy to use and empty.

- none yet found

+ very powerful for such a samll machine. Very easy to use in confined spaces - not too heavy to lift if necessary. Suction and ability to lift dirt excellent.

- None so far, but the machine has not been in use for long.

+ The best thing is the ease of use and the \fact that it is quite light

- None

+ Easy to use. Light to handle.

- Poor instruction book. It took a while to get the tools to work.

+ easy to empty - light to use - easy to store

- electic cord too short

+ Very funky design. Light and easy to use. All parts well constructed and robust. All surface vacuuming with easy to use switch.

- Dust collection cylinder quite small, requires more frequent emptying.

+ It's lightweight and easy to use. Easy to empty and because the handle drops down it is very easy to store.

- Could do with a longer lead so I can go from room to room without changing the socket (just me being lazy basically!)

+ Expensive but worth every penny. Have tried sooo many cheaper hoovers but with no success. Absolutely fantastic for smaller rooms, gets right under furniture and gets right to the edges of the room

- I have only used the hose and attachments once and it all seemed a bit tricky. I can see it would be a problem on a long flight of stairs- we live in a flat so it is perfect for us.

+ Excellent all round little cleaner

- Reviewer left no comment

+ hoovers up really well and efficientley

- could have been made a little bigger as tends to need emptying after each hoover

+ Light &easy to use

- Reviewer left no comment

+ very easy to handle plus being nice and light.

- cable could be a bit longer.

+ very easy to use very light and picks up great

- container could do with being a bit bigger have tio empty it more often

+ size and manoevreability

- bag small, frequent emptying

+ easy to assemble - light & easy to use especially under tables etc- love my Dyson

- extension not long enough when cleaning stair carpet

+ Pleasantly shocked how brillant this smaller Dyson is, 2 little grumbles as such which are firstly, the tool that provided is'nt a small nozzle, it's a larger type of nozzle would like a small nosed one like older & other machines have. Second, when the main handle is in compact folded mode it does'nt lock in place. I personaly would like it to lock when moving round and not having to fully extend it< if not required or only doing alittle quick clean up. Overall, I'm very happy with my Dyson purchase, with no lose of power even with a smaller sized wattage motor.

+ best one yet

- no bad points

+ Small and easy to store, cleans really well, no bag

- I have been told by frinds that they break very easily so I am a little nervous now

+ Really compact, lightweight and easy to store.

- Long hair gets stuck in the brush stopping it from rotating so make sure you clean it regularly and you don't get many accessories to help with difficult cleaning areas.
