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

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!

This vacuum is light, portable, compact and can fit into my the useless space between my fridge and wall (otherwise known as the dusty bunny collector). It’s a cordless vacuum cleaner with a slim design and a weight of only 4.65lbs. It has a fantastic pivoting head that makes it easy to vacuum at any angle without having to contort yourself into strange positions. When fully charged, the Dyson DC59 has a 26 minute clean time which is perfect for zipping through our smaller house or an apartment. Thanks to it’s V6 motor, 2 Tier Radial cyclones and a re-engineered battery, the Dyson DC59 Animal can suck up as much dust as a corded vacuum. Don’t mistake this for your hand vacuum from your past – this puppy easily transitions from floor to upholstery and has some serious suction. I have tried several types on vacuums on our couch and NONE (including another upright Dyson) worked as well as the DC59!

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.

I use it every single day. The battery lasts long enough to clean whole rooms easily and still has enough left to clean other places in the house too. It's plenty powerful enough to pick up most stuff in one pass, but I habitually do it twice anyway. I use it to clean the car too, since it's turbo mode is awesome and of course it's still cordless. Super good at picking up cat hair too! I even use it to suck up the occasional spider who finds his way to my ceiling! My only real complaint, besides price, is that there is a little gap on the hinge of the canister that the door drops open on; that hinge provides lots of room for small dust and particles to fall back out when the bin is not completely empty and hung back on the wall. Numerous times I've dropped cat litter on the floor from that small hole, only to have to suck it up again, then place my finger over the hinge while I dump it out. The one odd thing I noticed was when I opened up the package. For some reason, they provide this awesome wall mount that's really easy to use, but they don't provide any screws to mount the wall mount with!!! They even provide a nice mounting diagram with exact measurements between the screw points (5 inches). But no screws. What the heck? I had to go to Lowes to buy screws just for this one task. Then finding a wall that had both easy access to a wooden stud and immediate access to an outlet was a little more difficult in my house, but that's really not their fault, I just happen to have a lot of block external walls and not many interior wooden walls. Otherwise, GREAT vacuum.

I use this mostly to clean up around the cat litter boxes every day. I live in a loft, and on the first floor, the floors are stained concrete. The dyson does a pretty good job for daily cleanups; it removes the dust and allows my shiny floors to shine through. Upstairs is all carpet, and it does a fairly decent job, but it doesn't pick up everything all the time. For example, yesterday it kept spitting back out the few kitty treats my 2 cats left on the floor. On the flip side, it was so easy to vacuum under my bed and my other furniture. I didn't have to worry about it picking up something that would clog up the rollers, because the rollers would slow down if something got tangled, and the unit did not act like it was going to burn up. It's very lightweight, so I can walk it all around the house (since it's cordless), and if I don't focus on the little things it doesn't pick up for too long, I can vacuum my entire 1800 foot apartment with a single charge.

You'll balk at the price -- $500 for a handheld vacuum cleaner? But I've spent almost that in various handheld, cordless, battery operated solutions and none of them have ever come close to the power of the Dyson DC59. The 15-20 minutes operating time sounds like it's short, but it's not really... I have a pretty large living room and hall stairs - and it only takes 5-10 minutes to go over - so even with the MAX setting, I can still get it all done with battery to spare. Very well put together, easy to clean, super suction, and plenty of attachments... it looks expensive, but it works incredibly well!

This little thing is really expensive. But it is so handy that we use it several times a day. From getting up dry food from a sloppy kitty to cleaning the seats of the Breakfast table chairs (of kitty hair) it is extremely handy. A real big deal if you are having people over and suddenly see gobs of cat hair once the "seat rug" jumps up and runs off. Grabbing it and cleaning stuff I've tracked in from either the yard or the garage before the wife sees it is a real life saver. My wife is a stay at home Mom and I bought this to make it a little easier on her but I think I'm getting the most benefit out of it. It can do several large rooms on regular power if you want to use it as your main vacuum. It is the absolute best at cleaning stairs (a real problem in my house) and vehicles (another real problem as I have teenage twins). You do have to keep the powered brushes clean of hair and various items it grabs but can't suck up the tube. Stay up on the filters and it just keeps going and going.

Took it home to replace a Swifter and an older canister and gave it the "pepsi challenge". Vacuumed the floors with the new Dyson and then went over the hard floors with a mop to see what was left. Much to my surprise the mop pad was nearly clean. tried again with the older tools the following week and the mop pad was much dirtier. Sure it's a lot of money but really works and we love it.
