What our customer's say!

"Oh boy, am I in trouble!", I bought the Dyson DC24 from Target because I felt I couldn't afford the DC15 and the lightweight, compact design of the DC24 appealed to me. Let me say, I have been incredibly pleased with the power and performance of the DC24.

That said, when I saw Amazon had such a great price for a new, not reconditioned DC15 -- the one we originally wanted -- I had to snap it up. Wow, and uh-oh were my first reactions (that has to do with why I'm in trouble, which I'll get to later.).

It is definitely worth purchasing for even more robust cleaning power (we have 8 cats!) and its generous array of attachments. It is more unwieldy, though not nearly as heavy as the ridiculous, poor-performing Kirby. With the Kirby, I had to get on hands and knees with a Gonzo sponge to lift hair, then vacuum - no more of that! The good news is either Dyson lifts pet hair without hesitation. The difference with the Animal is that while it is heavier to manage, it cleans even more definitively.

A motivating factor is that I am an asthma sufferer, which I realize is exacerbated by the cats. The asthma's under control with meds, but I have definitely noticed dramatic improvement in my breathing and the utter banishment of household allergies due to such thorough cleaning.

The "Ball" pivoting mechanism isn't hype, either. It reduces all that repositioning and maneuvering.

So then, why am I in trouble? I am an idiot (or not!) because I am keeping both. The DC24 (small one) is perfect for whipping through the house on weeknights when I don't want to have a major production. It's so easy and light, able to get in tight and low places and I am never taxed or tired after using it. The Animal stays because there is simply no better cleaning to be had. I have had many vacuums in my life and if I could recoup my money from those manufacturers for the lousy performance of their Hoovers, Eurekas and Kirbys -- plus receive reimbursement for the extra hours I spent "double-cleaning" -- I could easily pay for the entire line of Dyson products with bags of money left over!


"Buyer Beware", I really liked this machine when I first bought it. However, mine stopped working within a few months. I took it to one of the warrantied repair shops. First we waited for a part from Canada - it didn't fix it. Then we waited for a part from Chicago - it didn't fix it. It's been over 3 weeks now. The repair shop still does not know what is wrong with it. I've just learned that because I did not buy direct from dyson, dyson will not replace it. They told me my only option is repair. I can go pick it up from the local repair shop it has been in and send it back to their headquarters. In about 2-1/2 to 3 more weeks it should be fixed. If it were not for the seeming inability to repair this model, I would have highly recommended it. now, all I can say is buyer beware - if it does break, you will find yourself waiting and waiting and waiting.

"I Love Dyson", This vacuum is wonderful! I love it. It does not require a lot of work and is very maneuverable. I highly recommend it!

"Dyson Ball", Looks great, handles beautifully, it's cornering ability is unsurpassed. However, it feels underpowered (compared with other Dyson cleaners I have driven) and the power cable is ridiculously short, if I had known it was this short, I probably wouldn't have bought it (but I have heard others express this problem with their Dyson cleaners), the handle-hose-tool-contraption is cleverly designed, but woefully impractical which is a shame. It is also short on tool attachments (like corner-crevice end). I wouldn't recommend it unless you bought it solely to impress people with a new gadget. Fortunately, my apartment has a lot of power sockets, more wood floors than carpet and I have a Swiffer for cleaning tasks - so I can just about live with all of the shortcomings - as it is such a pleasure to drive the Dyson around the apartment.

"The little vacuum that sucked! (In a good way :-) ) ", Wow! This thing really sucks!! No kidding! My wife brought it home from Target and I had it up and vacuuming within minutes (Hey! She brings home a new vacuum and I end up vacuuming the house?) The unit is compact and lightweight .. just perfect for our small house, with mixed floor coverings. I started off with the carpets and was amazed at all the dust and fur (where is the cat?) that it extracted out of the old carpet; with a reality check of "debris" swirling around in the transparent cyclone container you'll know in a short while how well this unit is working. The only thing I didn't like with unit is the high pitched whine produced by the motor/venturi container. Most people won't even notice .. but it drove me to put on ear buds!

Moving on the to the tile entryway .. there is a switch on the unit that shuts off the spinning beater bar that is not needed on non-carpeted surfaces. It rolled easily into corners and around the door jambs. It did a good job of removing the dustballs from the corners. I suppose you could have popped out the extension hose and went after the finer dirt in the corners or the spider webs near the top of the drapes. The cord is about 20ft long - which is fine for getting into the remote places of the house. I liked being able to transition between carpeted and non-carpeted floors with a flick of a switch (to the right of the main power switch). The telescoping handle is great for storing (collapsed) in small spaces or (extended) for usage.

One thing to notice here .. is the beater bar will NOT start until the unit is in the run position (this is the vacuum position)! This caught me off guard after it digested one of our A/V cables (ok, I was trying to be thorough and vacuum behind the A/V gear!!) and it suddenly stopped spinning. I cleared the cable and tried to restarted it .. no go! With my better half asking " Did you break it already? It's not even 1 hr old!" .. I had to open the sealed operators manual (I used the quick start guide to assemble it) and ensure the reset switch was in the "run" position. But, really, what happened was that I had the unit in the store position (which shuts off the beater bar while powered on). Once I put it back into the "run" position, it started spinning and I was off to another section of the house.

I like the lighter weight of the machine (11 lbs) .. as we have to carry it down stairs sometimes to do the laundry room. The suction is fantastic (has anyone seen the cat?) and is consistent across all types of surfaces. Be careful of sucking up small pets or you might just find them swirling around the cyclone container with their little eye-balls bugged out from the centrifugal force (just kidding)!

Some folks might find this unit small .. it is! It works just fine for a small home (less then 1100 sq. ft ) or a small office / studio space. For us, it works great. Just be sure to wear some ear muffs and don't suck up the cat!

"My new favorite appliance", I am in love with this vacuum! I was debating between the 24 and 25, and am so glad I went with this one. I chose it initially for its light weight. I have a herniated disk and our old, heavy vacuum would throw my back out every time I used it. The difference in weight and manueverability is amazing. Why didn't someone invent this ball thing decades ago?? The first time I used it, I wondered about its capability because it was so light and quiet (another HUGE plus - you don't need earplugs). But when I went to empty the tank and found a 3rd cat (we only have 2), I was convinced of its power. Love the handle that lowers too, because it takes up so much less storage space. Love its small size compared to most other vacuums. I can get under furniture without having to move stuff around, like dining room chairs. It fits into our tiny bathrooms and gets really close to corners and baseboards. My house is about 1200 sq ft, and mostly carpeted and I do have pets. This vacuum is everything I need, and would recommend it to anyone.

"Disappointing directions and lack of accessories available.", The directions were very poor. It appeared that there were 2 hoses. In reality, they showed 1 hose in 2 positions. The same was true with releasing the power brush. I called about a floor attachment and someone was to email in 48 hours, but I never heard anything. Evidently they do not have a floor attachment or duster for this product yet. I was disappointed, because I had done a lot of research and felt this was the best product!!

"New technology is easy to use", I love the idea of the ball and it is a breeze to push around and use. Dyson has reworked the hose so that it is easy to pull out for attatchments. Be aware that there is a DC24 and a DC25, which I didn't know. I ended up getting the 24, which, for my big spaces, this vacuum is just a little small. The canister is much smaller than their other machines and I had come to expect more power from it. This smaller version also has a shorter cord length.
For most homes I'm sure the cord length and canister size would be fine on the 24, but I wish I had been more attentive and chosen the DC25 instead. I am probably going to end up purchasing a DC14 again and use this one on one level of the house.

"An amazing machine.", Let me preface this by saying I live in an apartment with hardwood floors and two area rugs. If you had wall to wall carpeting I can easily see how this model would be too little vacuum for you. Now on with the review!

I bought this Dyson and it's incredible. I could make a lame joke the fact that it really sucks, but a vacuum this amazing deserves a joke of higher quality. The vacuum is so powerful that I swear I'm cleaning the apartment below me through the floor boards. What I'm trying to say is if a plane were flying overhead and you were to point the Dyson at the sky, it would clean the airplane's carpet. I used it on my rugs and they look brand new. I. *****. You. Not. I used it once and dumped the contents out, and then I used it on the same rug and got even more dirt out of it.

It comes in a couple different pieces that you need to assemble. It took me a bit to put it together, but that's because I was trying to make the process difficult. It comes with the body, handle, and head. The long handle doubles as a cleaning wand that you can attach to the hose by flipping it upside down. It only comes with one attachment which is a minor downside, but if you're not cleaning a lot of unusual surfaces (see: apartment dweller like me) the one attachment is probably all you'll need.

On my last vacuum it would collect dust into a plastic bin, and then I'd have to open it up and pour it into the trash. The Dyson also has a plastic bin, but instead of having to manually unscrew the bottom, the Dyson allows one to push a button and the bottom swings open like a trap door dumping its contents into the trash. That makes so much sense!

The next thing that is unique to the Dyson is how easy it is to maneuver. The Dyson doesn't have four wheels like most vacuums, instead it has a giant ball in the center that allows it to turn with zero effort. It seems weird to describe the handling of a vacuum, but when I use it, there's something about the fluidity of its movement that just feels right. The whole product is just a beautiful piece of engineering.

All and all I think the highest praise one can give a product is not a statement but question; why haven't all ______ been designed like this? That's exactly what I asked myself after using the Dyson DC24.

"I hate this product", There is nothing good I can say about the Dyson Ball Vacuum. It is about as noisy as a jet on the runway; it's difficult to muscle around; to empty the canister you have to pull stuff out with your fingers; and $400 is outrageousfor such a trashy heap of plastic. I could go on - I'd give it minus stars but there isn't that option. Can I return it to the manufacturer?
