Dyson DC14 All Floors Reviews: , Upright, Bagless Vacuum cleaner

+ suction strength and stair attachment

- heavy

+ lighter than my old dyson but far better suction. A great vacuum & now much easier emptying.

- None I can think of

+ good performance

- somewhat heavy and tube extension difficult to use on stairs (wand is too long)

+ The product itself is very good, It's easy to use and nice and tidy. Overall a very good product.

- Initially, we had difficulty taking the dirt collector off, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy....!!! It gets clogged up quite easily, however once cleaned it's back to normal.. One of the attachments doesn't stay on very easily (not the carpet brush or the other flat one, the tall thin one). It's comes off when you're trying to hoover around.

+ cleans in a flash,,easy to use,, and overall cleaning is a 1,, will purchase another when this one is unrepairable,

- none

+ Design, Very space age.
Powerful motor, almost lifts the carpet!
Long hose for the stairs & curtains.
The attachments clip firmly to the side, & don't keep falling off as with earier Dyson's.
Enclosed dust container, clean & efficient, a good idea.

- None that springs to mind

+ The best vacuum cleaner we have ever had! It does an excellent job at keeping our carpets cleaned, especially with a baby and a dog! It even cleaned our car well. Though the initial cost is quite large, for us it has been worth the extra money. The only thing I have a problem with once in a while is the hose and attachments on it when doing the stairs, but it's mostly because the suction is so fantastic, it's difficult to keep the hose extended because it wants to just suck right back in! But, I'd rather clean carpets, than worry about whether or not the hose is easy to extend. You can even see all the dust and fine dirt it continues to suck up from the depths of your carpet. Overall, worth every penny, and definitely gives you peace of mind that you truly have vacuumed your carpets!

+ fantastic at picking up and easy to empty. like the hose when hoovering stairs, makes it much easier!

- when using hose hoover tends to bash your legs.

+ Easy to manouvre, exceptional suction power, easy to detach and empty cylinder

- Extension pipe feels stiff and unwieldy in use.

+ Amazing cleaning - quite scary to see how much dirt my old vacuum cleaner hadn't been picking up. Cleverly designed and easy to use.

- It is quite heavy - twice the weight of my old vacuum cleaner. If you're not particularly strong or have lots of stairs in your house it would be worth considering the slimline option instead.

+ very easy to use and the suction for picking up everything is excellent

- On a n uncarpeted floor the machine keeps banging into the back of your legs due to its ease of movement.
The wand is not easy to store until you get used to the dis-assembly of it

+ Fantastic for collecting pet hair! Easy to use - just glides over floor.

- No bad points!!

+ Cleans right to the edge of floors. Attachments easy to use.

- Still a fairly heavy item to carry up and down stairs.

+ power and performance

- the extending hose is tricky to replace

+ Its a Dyson! As the name suggests, very reliable, very robust, compact and good power for its size. The body is structurally strong. Motor has good suction power. More than adequate for all domestic uses. It costs more than your usual Vacuum cleaners, but delivers what it promises.

- Slightly awkward extention system but one gets used to it once you start using it.
Expensive, but then you get a 5 year manufacturer's warranty....plenty of peace of mind.
Heavy: ok, if you live in a bungalow, but is quite a handful to carry up the stairs....no worse than competitors though....but being a Dyson, the manufacturer could look into producing lighter versions with same power.

+ Easy to use,great cleaning power.

- So far none to report

+ Excellent product if like me you need a cleaner that is light and easy to use and also picks up sewing cotton thread.

- None.

+ excellent suction easy to use easy to empty well worth the money

- tools sometimes fall off when machine is carried i.e upstairs.

+ Picks up well. Nice design

- Noisy

+ good cleaning power, easy to empty

- using pipe extension can be difficult. Large to store

+ Easy to use and by far the most efficient vacuum I have ever used in forty years of housework.

- Nothing really, just a bit heavy. To be expected when quality material is used.

+ extendabale pipe to go up stairs and nice long power cable

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very effective and easy to empty

- I found it very heavy to use, but someone bigger /stronger would not have a problem

+ Really works on wood floors - unlike some others we have had. Long cord and hose; although the hose is quite stiff to stretch at first.

- Expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for - cheaper ones in our experience just don't pick up effectively on wooden floors!

+ Good picking up pet hair. Long power lead so no need to keeping moving plugs!

- Extension hose a little awkward to use.

+ Power, usual Dyson attributes, flexibility, style!?

- Stair mech fiddly and unyeilding, handle flimsy,

+ GOOD SUCTION

- HEAVEY TO MOVE AROUND ON THICK CARPET

+ Lighter than the older models, excellent pick up and better designed tools

- A bit noisier than the old version - scares my baby!! A bit complicated to use the long reach section at first, but OK once you've got the hang of it!

+ We are delighted with our dyson allergy. The carpets appear much cleaner than with previous vacum cleaner.

- Our only complaint would be the wand for cleaning stairs, corners is a touch akward to get out.

+ very easy to use no problems with design or performance

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Excellent pick up on both carpets and polished floors. Retrieves twice as much debris as any other vacuum used previously by ourselves. No bags to buy & system is very easy to empty when full

- Flexible hose removal is sometimes difficult to achieve. ie when vacuuming stairs etc

+ Easy to empty.

- Suction too powerful. Thus causing the hose to collapse and the cleaner is differcult to move over longer pile carpets. To over come this the Dyson Service Endgineer said partley remove a suction coupling and this does partly solve the problem. When used on stairs the cleaning head seems to be at the wrong angle,

+ Very powerful suction,with very good results paricularly on carpeted areas.

- A little bit tricky to use on stairs, having use a lot of force to keep the hose extended.

+ Powerful, easy to use, lots of tools

- difficult to adjust sweeping plate by foot (not a good description!) Hard to find on/off button initially.

+ i feel it cleans the carpets very well, and also picks up on my laminate floor.

- none

+ very easy to use. main reson for buying was to use on hard floors rather than brushing floors and sending dirt up into air, works vey well. good suck so collects all.

- bit heavy and the telescopic nossel takes a bit of getting used to.

+ All good. Very happy with this product.

- This Dyson is a bit heavy. However the design has improved since the last Dyson I bought and it is robust and very efficient.

+ so fast to clean up and so easy

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Picks up really well

- Quite heavy to lift
Lifts rugs/mats as too powerful

+ removes dirt

- heavy

+ I love the long extendable pipe great for stairs and it goes great on all my floors very good suction dog hairs gone in a flash and my dogs got lots to come out what a nightmare made easy with my dyson

- needs a better nozzel for cleaning stairs the straight ones doesnt lift the piles and the flat one doesnt get into the corners and the brush one doesnt do much the bristles are to soft and to long get this sorted and the hoover will be unbeatable

+ Long power cable
Ease of emptying
Reach of hose

- Wouldn't go under radiators
Suction so powerful that it needs strength to push. Not for old people.

+ very very good suction power even after continuous usage.
good size waster collection cylinder
no hassel of changing bags every so often.

- long metal pipe restrict use while cleaning my car

+ Does the job well

- Somewhat heavy to use.....hand grip position? This is the second Dyson cleaner we have had...this one a lot heavier to use...especially on carpet....too much suction????!!!!!

+ Well designed and it does the job effortlessly. With two dogs and a cat hairs are picked up quickly and efficiently.

- None

+ Good suction power, long wire

- handheld nozzle can be irritating when trying to use in a compact space.

+ The product is easy to use, not too heavy and does exactly what I wanted

- none

+ very easy to use, easy to empty, excellent suction and house very clean effortlessly

- a bit heavy

+ Very good suction. The dust container is very easy to empty. Overall a very efficient and effective machine.

- The tools can sometimes be a bit awkward in getting out. The on/off button has to be pushed quite hard.

+ Easy to use, manourve around the house and clean out

- Not neccesarily a bad point but the hose could do ith being slightly longer

+ You have try for yourself

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good suction
bagless
easy to push
easy to empty

- would prefer a more flexable end of rigid hose
would prefer a lead that retracts into the machine for srorage

+ Brilliant hoover, does exactly what it says on the tin.

- High pithced noise while in motion, but you get used to it quite quickly, and benefits far out weigh the noise.

+ Excellent at picking up dirt and the tools are much easier to use than the old model. I much prefer the easy-empty canister.

- Still a little heavy and difficult to manoevre into tight spaces. Using the attachments still requires quite a deal of effort and swaping and changing of tools but it is better than before.

+ Simply does the job better than any other vacuum. Emptying is easy.

- Quite heavy. Wand release takes some getting used to.

+ Easy to use, light to carry. Picks up loads of dirt and dog/cat hairs.

- None as yet.

+ Sucks up most things

- Capacity of the dust canister is too small

+ It does exactly as advertised - picks up everything from your carpets. It is everything my other vacuum wasn't.

- None

+ Picks up dog hairs very well

- Useing the handle to do stairs is awkward compared to the older model we had

+ Excellent performance & versatility, whether on carpets or hard-surfaces. 5 year guarantee. Read the Which? report, it came top. Easy to understand why. Remember that not all "Bagless" vacuum cleaners are "Cyclonic". Only Dysons.

- Rather heavy & unwieldy.

+ very easey to use gets right into every corner.bought the first dyson when first made will go with dyson every time. Its a shame they are made abroad now.

+ Easy to use on carpets and laminate flooring also brilliant for those out of reach areas

- Have not come across any

+ Cleans well, tools easily accessible, easy to empty

- Quite heavy for carrying up and down stairs

+ A very powerful vacuam cleaner, great at picking up dog hair. Now comes with a 5 year gaurantee, which is longer than any Dyson I've owned has lasted so far!

- My previous experience, DC1, DC4 & DC14 animal, is that Dyson's are not the hardest wearing

+ Really good suction. Works well on laminate, carpets and tiles with no need to change anything on the unit.

- I do find it slightly cumbersome on the staircase

+ Cleans well, no need to purchase consumables

- Very cumbersome. Almost impossible to use the tools as the hose tries to collapse itself to its minimum length because of the high suction. Trying to clean stairs is an experience as the hose is pulling all the time. You have to be fit and strong to use this cleaner.

+ The suction is amazing and the ease of emptying the rubbish is a godsend.

- It is very heavy and the hose is very awkward to manaouvre

+ very good pick up, easy to use

- too high to get under low items such as radiators and furniture.this has caused outer casing which now looks unsightly.

+ Excellent suction, great emptying mechanism, quiet, long extension lead.

- I always seem to have difficulty in assembling and de-assembling the tools attachements. For some reason its not as simple as my previous Dyson and can be frustrating at times

+ Easy to use especially with roller ball.

- Its too top heavy and falls over very easily. You have to make sure to standing against something.
Its too high to vacuum under beds. My old Dyson was able to do this.

+ This is my second Dyson my first has lasted over 10 years and has been passed to my daughter now. I would only buy Dyson, I like the look of them and the performance is excellent, replacement parts are easy to order from the internet.

+ The suction is amazing. I didn't realise how dirty my carpets had been and the dyson got full up after one room! I kept going over and over the rooms and emptying the dyson after each go and I think I now have all the 'old' dirt up. My carpets actually look a different colour and my home is brighter!

- I have long hair which tends to fall out all over the place. My hair gets caught around the brushes. In the past I have had this problem with other vacuum cleaners but didn't expect Dyson to have the same design problem. I have been pulling the hair off from around the spindle at the end of each use but I find this rather tedious and dirty for my hands. However, I have to do it or else the band will burn and break (as happened with other makes of vacuum). Is there anything you suggest for this problem? I don't really want a cylinder style as I find they hurt my back.

+ So easy to use and ligher than it looks. Hoovering is now a breeze!

- Not found any yet.

+ Very powerful, has all the attachments you need, exactly what you would expect from a Dyson. The way the bin empties is fantastic.

- The long reach hose is quite hard to use, but it's better than not having one!

+ great suction

- quite heavy

+ Ease of emptying dirt.

- Too high to go under settees without using tool attachment.
Tool attachment stiff to use.

+ When used on "brush" setting it picks up superbly everything

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very efficient and easy to use.

- This Dyson is heavier than I was expecting.

+ great suction

- noisy & the feature to use on the stairs(the wand) is not all that easy to use

+ Very good suction.

- Tools could be easier to use. Very heavy. Pipe not flexible enough.

+ Due to my wifes alergy to animal hair we found the Dyson very good.

- none

+ Easy to clean, no bags

- None

+ Easy to use and good for cleaning hardwood floors with the adjustable brush heads.

- Haven't come across any personally.

+ My wife is enjoying a hoover that picks up properly. She would definatley consider getting another Dyson in the future.
