General appearance level:
The materials give an impression of robustness and reliability.
This impression is reinforced by the fact that the device is guaranteed for 5 years against 2-3 years for competitors.
Visually, we can mistakenly think that the DC52 is lighter than what it actually is. Its weight is about average.
Accessories Level and handling:
The wheels are very quiet and allows vacuuming to follow the movement without straining.
I regret the lack of accessories even if those supplied are well thought out and practical to use.
The different buttons on the handle and used to unclip the tube and accessories are broad, robust and flexible. It is not necessary to have superhuman strength to operate.
The handle is pleasant and enables a good handle of control despite a too rigid pipe.
The telescopic tube is a little short and has a significant weight.
Use level:
The cord is long enough to give a radius significant action.
The strengths of this vacuum aspiration remains its strength and efficiency of the "filter" that does not require permanent dentretien (no replacement, washing,)
Emptying the tank is from below with a push of a button. No more dust on the hands when emptying. A brush is attached to the tank and used to remove dust present between the filter and the wall.
The only real lack of this vacuum is the lack of a drive force.
The expulsion of air when filtered (dust) is from below.
