After selling fashionable design and Dyson there a few years ago by purchasing the DC 11 Allergy Parquet floor, I had promised myself to never buy that brand. (Heaviness, noise, lack of maneuverability of the unit). But after two more literally catastrophic purchases (hoover freespace, Dirt Devil), here I am again with a Dyson, but not any! Because the DC 26 City has nothing to do with his elephants predecessors, and it relegates my old DC 11 to the rank of antiquity. Not only is abolument sublime (like all Dyson), but in addition it is effective, lightweight, ultra handy and not too noisy. Ok, the price is a bit rédibitoire. But I paid my Hoover Freespace 120 Euros and it lasted about 5 months. So frankly, with 5-year warranty offered more, I think the value is far from ridiculous! A small detail though: parquet brush, which seems to me essential, is not provided with the unit. It is therefore necessary to buy more. It is significantly better than the original brush. I will note also that Dyson vacuums created that does not lose suction power as the tank is full or not. This is not the case with many other bagless vacuum cleaners, far away ... In short: very pleased with this purchase, and as always delighted amazon because order placed on a Tuesday and delivered on Thursday.
