worth every penny
3 of 3 found this helpful After spending nearly an entire day researching all the different dyson cleaners, i settled on the dc24. My current dc04 was running out of puff and having had nearly 9 years service out of it, i thought it was time to get a new one. When my new dyson arrived, i was surprised at how small the box was and thought there is no way that this is all of it and checked with the delivery man that there wasn't another box with it!! He assured me that was it and was on his way. Once the dyson was out the box, it was very simple to put together and the instructions are very straightforward. I can't emphasise enough how small this dyson really is, my not yet 2 year old daughter is taller than it!! She thinks it's her new toy! Now to try it out, i have laminate wood floor downstairs and carpet on the stairs and upstairs. I started my test drive upstairs, i wizz round my 3 bedrooms with ease and realise it has taken me half the time to vacuum than with my previous dyson. Now for downstairs, even quicker on the laminate floor, was a little worried it wouldn't pick up as much as upstairs (You have to turn the brush off when doing hard floors) but am really surprised, it does a brilliant job. The stairs are also much easier, because this dyson is so light, i can carry the dyson in one hand and vacuum with the extendable hose in the other, and again it took less than half the time to complete the job. Once the whole house was done, the dust chamber was almost full, so i decided to try emptying it. This is a doddle also. Overall, i think this dyson is excellent. The only downside for me is that you only get one attachment, could do with another one for dusting shelves ect. This is available to buy seperately but seeing as my dc04 came with 3 extra attachments as standard, i feel it should have come with it. All in all, a very happy dyson customer.... again.
