Since I already have a Dyson DC 23 have in use, I have to say positively that the Dyson DC 51 this is much superior in the handling, performance and volume, especially with high pile Carpets is the cleaning power very well, the electric brush makes this super work, it may But happen it will stop occasionally, so it is beneficial the vacuum cleaner over High pile carpets to pull back. It is also pleasant to have to draw no more vacuum cleaner afterwards.
