About This Brand

Colorful styling, innovative features, and a splashy advertising campaign featuring its namesake owner and designer have helped Dyson quickly become a major player in the U.S. Ranging in price from about $300 to $600, Dyson vacuums have helped increase the average price paid for uprights. Canisters have joined that lineup. Hand vacs are also part of the mix. The brand is available nationwide through major mass merchants such as Target, Best Buy, and Sears.

Comment:
wife uses instead of big dyson (big d works perfectly)DC26 is light but loses suction frequently. The filters are kept clean,the vac always emptied after use, but the aggrevation factor is too high. Some bloggers describe a design flaw in the suction tubes which clog frequently...We recommend the big machines(which are too heavy) but have been disappointed with the DC26 flaws.I would not recommend this model.

Comment:
I purchased this little cannister set to replace a 50 year old Eureka that was banging up my baseboards and not all that efficient in corners and cracks. I love this vacuum - as the owner of two hairy dogs in a very small house, I vacuum and need to empty the unit frequently. The Dyson is a pleasure to use and its engineering is admirable. <br />My only real complaint is that the instructions for changing filter A are quite confusing. The diagrams do not make it clear whether the filter inserts into the door or the vacuum unit. (You cannot tell from the diagram which disk-shaped item is the door for filter A.) Purchasers are advised to label your instructions carefully so that you can replace the filter without some major headaches.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
