 Present for my wife April 12, 2008

Our old vacuum broke down in the middle of a major house clean up. (I was doing the hovering so like everything it was my fault) My wife had always talked about how much she wanted a Dyson so I thought I could earn a couple of extra brownie points and splashed out. She was absolutely delighted and raves about how brilliant it is. She has even allowed me to have a go. The DC19 is a brilliant vacuum on both wooden and carpeted floors. It has great suction and is easy to use, although steering it takes a little getting used to. Other reviews have mentioned problems with removing the collection compartment saying it is tricky to detach. My wife is disabled and has major problems with her hands but can manage it quite easily. The flat head standard attachment is great, because it is so thin you can get almost half of the head under a sofa or low unit where a standard head simply wouldn't go. Overall it has a good quality feel about it. It's styling is futuristic but personally I don't think there is anthing wrong in that. On the negative side I would agree that it is quite noisy but a small price to pay for clean floors!
 Great with dust but not so great with hair March 26, 2008

Somewhat surprisingly, I was thrilled to bits to get a Dyson for Christmas as I'd owned one previously and it had worked very well. Not very romantic, I know, but it it was just what I wanted. I was therefore rather disappointed to find that it doesn't pick up hairs very well. br / br /When the marketing material sang the praises of the flat head, I was under the impression that this was an accessory, not the main all purpose head. The problem with this head is that it doesn't have a roller to pick up the hairs, so it pushes them around the carpet until you bend down to pick them up or have about five goes over them before they are sucked up. Dyson get round this by offering to sell you the turbine head, which is an extra 40, and whilst I will probably buy one, I think it's a bit much to have to buy an extra attachment so that the machine performs a very basic function. Maybe I'm just using it wrong, but in order to find out I will have to buy the user guide for 2.50! The strange thing about it is that the suction is fantastic and almost pulls the carpet off the floor, so it's great with dust and bits but somehow manages not to pick up the hairs. Just to clarify, our household has two people with shortish/shoulder length hair, one with long hair and a short haired cat, and it's the human hairs that are the problem, not the pet hairs. br / br /I also agree with the reviewer who said that the handle can get in the way, which is also the case with the thingy that attaches the wand to the vacuum cleaner. It would be useful to be able to detach them as they can be a bit unwieldy when you want to get into nooks and crannies, and also when vacuuming stairs. br / br /Sorry to be negative - Dysons are great machines, but this one isn't as good as the last one I had (DC08), which unfortunately broke down after about 7 years of use.
Brilliant! March 24, 2008

This vacuum is simply brilliant. It's light, maneuverable, fairly quiet and near enough sucks the nails out of the floorboards! We've had no problems on wooden floors or short/medium length carpet - it sucks up absolutely everything, including the usually stubborn sock fluff. br / br /My girlfriend finds it small/light enough for her to do the stairs, and I find it study enough to bash into the odd wall. The head easily fits under beds and into the little grooves under the fridge/washing machine. The cable is also long enough so we can do the whole of our 3-bed semi from 2 plug sockets - 1 upstairs, 1 down. br / br /I actually quite enjoy cleaning day now we have this to play with, and would highly recommend it. br / br /A word to the wise though - you can get it MUCH cheaper from a number of High Street shops.
Excellent powerful handy hoover! February 10, 2008

I already own a Dyson upright but having 3 kittens I needed a hoover which I could quickly get out to hoover up litter from their trays and also needed an attachment to get under the bed and in small places. br / br /Again, Dyson have come up trumps and I am very impressed with the DC19 - it's great for the car as it won't fall over or run away as an upright can - the great thing for me is the quick cord release and return means I don't have to faff with winding the cord up after each use. It is quite noisy, but as usual the bin release and empty function is flawless. br / br /Overall even if you have an upright already the cylnider is still very handy - also seems to have dropped by 100 recently which makes it an excellent buy.
