This is going to be a bit of a retrospective review - a progress report if you will. The Dyson range has been going now since 1993 and the story of its conception has been well discussed. We are now, I think, on the 7th version of the Dyson upright vacuum cleaner but do they live up to the hype? The focus of the range was to develop a vacuum cleaner which sucked like no other, that could remove even miniscule particles such as cigarette smoke and cats. This came from getting rid of the 'only way to do it' bag and use some weird cyclone death ray thing. All invented by mad scientists. The result was a vacuum cleaner that looked totally different and worked like ...  Read the complete review

What is the big hoo-ha over Dyson vacuum cleaners, huh? It looks funny, looks gaudy and looks more like a child's toy? Well, to para-phrase the man who invented it <James Dyson> "When you go into a shop and see a row of vacuum cleaners, they all look the same, shiny, brand new and look powerful. Then you see this brightly coloured thing at the end with dust and dirt in the box. But if this vacuum cleaner has loads of dust and dirt pulled from a supposedly clean carpet, then, it's got to work, hasn't it?" and it is precisely this kind of lateral thinking which made this the product of the millennium! To give you an idea of how powerful this thing can ...  Read the complete review

Ok, so I'm the only one to not be blown (or sucked) away by this? Operating on a square carpet, fantastic, can't be faulted, does what it says on the tin.....need it to do that bit more? Edges, corners, stairs....you know, the day to day stuff? Then it becomes time consuming, clunky and awkward...you have to literally dismantle the thing to be able to use the attachments. Being an upright, it's awkward to carry about and it's not that lightweight either, so forget the stairs..I've gone and purchased a dustbuster for that.....doesn't do edge to edge (as it states). I can't mark this high based on it's suction ability...it's a vacccum...it's supposed to, so I can only mark ...  Read the complete review

I beg to differ some of the reviews on the Dyson DC04. I have been so impressed with the performance of the product I am in search of another one in case my present one, of some 11 years does break down. My sister and my son have more up to date models of the dyson, not as study a quality of the 04 standard. Iv looked after around 6 cats and my home has been really clean with my current vac. Cat hairs, what are they...... Very disappointed this model has been discontinued. I recommended it to many of my friends over the years whom also have been satisfied with its ...  Read the complete review

Well I guess the time had to come when a Dyson came back into my life! Whilst everyone else has been revelling it up over Christmas I've been asked back to my old job as a cleaner to get the houses up sparkling and good for the New Year. At the time of returning I was told that I was not allowed to bring my own machine with me since my successor had done this and has since forwarded the cleaning company with bills to be paid for repairs. Oh well, I thought what would I be given instead of taking my collapsible Sebo X1 with me? A Henry by any chance, which is what I was hoping for, but no a one year old Dyson DC04 Brush Control model; "Brush Control," simply ...  Read the complete review
