Now that we have been annoyed for a while with our bagless vacuum cleaner from Dirt Devil around, I have decided that now times something decent is purchased. If you a little closer with the matter, that bagless vacuum cleaners, deals you end up inevitably in the Dyson - devices. On the web there is enough information to become familiar with the many innovative ideas that have been implemented in these devices, to familiarize yourself. Since I no device to draw afterwards wanted more, the choice fell on the DC42. My wife had indeed concerned about the strange "UFO Designs", then was ultimately agree. After the device was delivered, what thanks amazon went very fast again, it had to be first of all assembled. The whole thing is a breeze and self-explanatory, for people who are not as technically gifted is a very decent manual on where everything is explained step by step. After assembling the vacuum cleaner was also tried the same. What is equally noticed that the device is not so exceptionally loud, is the Dyson's often said how. At least when the electrically driven suction brush is switched off, this is activated it makes of course in addition some noise. Let's talk about what is most important to a vacuum cleaner, the suction power. This is really impressive. Unbelievable what the device still brings out the carpet! Handling is also very good, you get used to very quickly to the ball and want the agility achieved so not to miss. This makes the engine, so the heaviest component of the device is built into the inside of the ball is the center of gravity to the bottom, which is very pleasant during handling. It has little load on the handle. The vacuum cleaner as a whole but also relatively easy and can therefore also good for example a staircase wearing. What negative noticed: The case is not nearly as robust as I would have expected it. For example, the transparent handle and the opening mechanism for the dust container. Remains to be seen how long the holding and that the manufacturer will also keep word with the five-year warranty. Furthermore, I do not find the power cord appropriate for a mid-range device. Instead of a cheap and stubborn PVC cable here a high-quality rubber-jacketed cable had heard. Another criticism is that bigger things such as dry leaves of houseplants can absorb on smooth floors with the ground roll, you push this ago just before him. One must then not again until the unit stand and work with the rear-mounted hose. This hose is my main criticism. Indeed, it can not deal with it half as good as it shows Dyson in his advertising, while just this hose is very important because the DC42 is a handheld vacuum cleaner and we therefore can not get anywhere between or underneath. The hose can be too difficult to draw or stretch, leading to the result that the vacuum cleaner has tipped over, if you want something away for example to suck the hose in his hand a corner behind a cupboard. The attachment of the hose is fiddly and not really well thought out. Conclusion: + Extremely absorbent + You have to buy expensive bag more + No loss of suction + Very agile thanks to ball- Technology + Futuristic design + Relatively low weight + For the high suction power Very low power consumption + Long warranty period - High price - Some plastic parts could be a little more robust, especially the carrying handle - PVC power cord - Coarse suction material is not detected on smooth surfaces - To handle more flexible Saugschlaucht bad - Empty the dust container is a nasty affair
