- Since the tube can no longer be wrapped around the device, the DC52 take up much more storage space than the old model
- I am 1.73 m tall, and for me the telescopic tube is clearly too small, I always suck stooping
- Complicated emptying the full dust container (if the container is only a tad too full, must be scraped out with the accompanying Dyson rods of dust). With the old model, it was just a push of a button, little shake, ready!
- For the accessories (crevice tool, etc.) were the old model slots inside the vacuum cleaner frame available in this model there is a holder for the telescopic tube .... that interferes with sucking
Regarding the suction force and the quality of the device is of course still top when it comes to practicality, it however did not convince me. Therefore, unfortunately, only 2 stars.
