Dyson - DC59 Animal Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum - Nickel/Red/Purple

The power on the Dyson is amazing. The suction is great, The vacuum is lightweight and easy to handle which is a great plus. the big drawback is that it only lasts for about 6 minutes on boost or 10. They say 20 but I only timed it at 10 minutes. It is the best to get cat and dog hair out of rugs. I have what I thought was the most powerful built in (the walls) vac in my home, but Dyson does a better job on the pet hair on the oriental rugs.

This is a great cordless vacuum that picks up with amazing suction. It hangs easily on a wall in a convenient place near an outlet (mine is in a utility closet which fortunately does have an outlet). It assembles in a snap and empties easily. Although it is expensive, I feel the ease of use and convenience justifies the price.

As far as its ability to pick up dirt, it bests any vacuum I've owned short of an all-out shop vac. Mix in how crazy light it is, cordless, bagless, and the fact that you clean the filter via running water in the sink, nothing comes close to it. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. If the DC59 is on your list of possibilities, you will be doing yourself a tremendous disservice buying anything else.

This is an excellent product from Dyson. It is very lightweight and easy to use. Very useful attachments that are easy to put on and take off. It is cordless and rechargable - not having a cord is great! Unfortunately, it only stays charged for a short period of time. This would not be a good choice for your main vacuum. It's great for "touch ups" and hard to reach places.

I bought this at a significant discount and told myself 'well I can try it out and if it wasn't worth the money I'll return it' Several months later, I use it almost daily (we have a dog). Even our cleaning lady has stopped taking out our larger vacuum - and she gets the house cleaner than before because the floors are cleaner day to day. I absolutely love the light weight and the amazingly powerful suction. I anticipated we would use it for little touch up cleaning between maid visits, but it's so easy to use its almost replaced our larger Oreck. It seems as though lots of people in reviews don't get much run time out of the battery. We consistently get 20 minutes or more with non-motor tools on it and about 15 minutes with motor tools, especially if you lay off the trigger when you aren't actively picking up dirt. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to keep their house clean between maid visits. It was worth every penny and works very well. It is so light and easy to use there's almost no excuse not to vacuum daily if you own pets. It is also much more convenient than lugging out a huge heavy vacuum for dry spills and messes and works just as well or better.

Now I have had stick vacuums in the past, in fact, I have the predecessor to this Dyson model, which I have loved having. But I must say, the power that this new Dyson has, takes my old Dyson to the cleaners, so to say. With a Dyson, I love that they have more suction power than other vacuums I have owned, and with the Dyson DC59, you get 3 times the suction power than you get with a ordinary vacuum! I also appreciate that I can get 26 minutes worth of use on a single charge, so when the kids, animals, or even my husband come tracking in dirt and mud on my freshly cleaned floors, I can pull my Dyson DC59 down off of the charger, and eliminate that dirt that mysteriously showed up on my floors. I can also follow after a snack time with Wyatt, go over the trail of crumbs he left behind, and clean up any evidence! Aside from the fact that this vacuum really does "suck", and that it is easy to take down from the charging station, use then put back on, I love the motor in this vacuum. I mean, my husband can go on and brag about the motor in his muscle car, but at least the V6 motor on my vacuum, does more than his does! I get more suction power than the V2 my other one had, it also performs just like a upright vacuum, and with the 2 Tier Radial Cyclone Technology, that is brought to the cordless vacuum for the first time, I have a machine that actually does work and that I do not have to spend hours under the hood on either! Another feature that I really like is the re-engineered brush bar, which is great for both hard floors and carpet cleaning, making it easy for me to truly follow those trails of dirt and crumbs as they go from carpet to hard floors! And with the Dyson DC59 weighing only 4.65 pounds, I can truly feel like a super woman, I mean, I do not see my husband being able to lift up his vehicle with a V6 motor, eliminate the dirt in the house, and effortlessly place it back up on the wall! So if you are looking not only for a stick vacuum that can not only get the job done, but that is also lightweight, then head to your local Best Buy today and get the new Dyson DC59!

The Dyson DC59 is easy to install and use. My wife really really likes it for our two story home. The only problem we have faced is that dust gets lodged up at the top of the cannister and cannot be easily removed. I think I will have to take it apart to get the dust out periodically. Ordinarily, it should be easy to get the dust out, Dyson almost got it perfect, except that there is a spot where it gets stuck and builds up. Regarding the install: It was easy. I have ours hung on a wall in a closet and permanently plugged in there. I wanted it near an outlet and there wasn't one in that closet, so I installed one of those too. You do need to get some decent wall anchors, but those are both cheap and easy to use nowadays. Regarding the use of the DC59. It is both easy and efficient.

This is my 5th Dyson and 2nd cordless unit. First one ever that requires routine maintenance at least for me. After two months use I noticed it was leaving 'scratch' marks on my hardwood floors! Yikes! Looking closer the two small concentric 'wheels' at the pivot point where very abraded and were leaving marks on my floors. I then realized that my tile floor - which is rough slate style tile - had abraded those little saucer wheels and then the rough edges on them was marking up my wood floor when I moved to that part of the house. NOT GOOD. And not warranted. $1.99 EACH from Dyson. At this rate I'll be out $24/yr putting new tires on the Dyson or I'll need two units, one for tile, one for wood. This plus the tiny dirt compartment plus the battery only lasts 5-6mins on high speed. It's a great little dog hair picker-upper but for the price, I think it's going to be returned.
