To say it first: a Dyson loves you, or you hate him. At least, the impression I had from my friends and acquaintances. I have already decided directly after the first use: I love my Dyson!
Packaging and shipping:
The Dyson is very well packaged. All parts are perfectly protected, cushioned and bagged.
Accessories:
Since we have two cats, the choice naturally fell to a product of animal series. In addition to standard Parquet are still a large and a small turbine nozzle included. In addition, this: an upholstery, a combination nozzle and a "stand" for the nozzle.
Suction power:
As already mentioned, we were so far only in the possession of an old, cheap bags sucker. The comparison with the Dyson is like night and day! After I had the first of our bedroom carpet worked with the turbine nozzle, the container of Dyson was already full with sand and dust. What a terrible thought that the old sucker has always left all the dirt in the carpet!
We have otherwise almost the entire house parquet floor. My husband was completely taken aback by his first vacuum cleaner using the Dyson that the "yes the whole Crumb obtained from the cracks!".
The performance of the Dyson can incidentally actually with increasing filling of the container is not noticeably.
Volume:
The Dyson is of course not a whisper.
However, it is much quieter than our old vacuum cleaner model. And even the cat no longer run away when I approach with the sucker.
Handling:
All in all very intuitive. All buttons are easy to understand labels and smoothly.
The Dyson is very light and easy to lift for my taste. Thanks to the ball technology, it's incredibly maneuverable. The rollers run very smoothly.
The telescopic pole could be further extendable for my taste. Although I am only 1.65 m tall and have no problems with sucking (over 1.80m it might feel uncomfortable), but we live in an old building, and if I want to suck a spider on the ceiling, I have the entire Dyson lift. In addition, the pipe loads quickly on static, so that eg cat hairs or Teppichfussel outside stay tuned liable.
The power cord has a great length (max 10m.) - To stick with it to get the whole stairway between two floors up without the plug in between in a different outlet.
The Parquet is incidentally beautiful narrow and flat. It is thus well in corners and under our bed.
Cleaning:
The container can be easily emptied by pressing a button. Of course this dusty tidy. I always take with a therefore cloth to wipe the container after emptying out. But this is also one of the few small criticisms.
The pre-motor filter needs to be moist by rinsing and drying again once a month. This is done easily and quickly.
Handling turbine nozzle:
For insensitive carpets and upholstery. On the whole, good. Holt really a lot of dirt and cat hair from our carpets and upholstery. The only drawback: I have very long hair, the tight wrap around the brush and block sometime. The brush can be very easy to take out of the nozzle, so that you can quickly remove the hair for example by means of a pair of scissors.
Storage:
Particularly space-saving of Dyson is not. You have to have a little more storage space in order to accommodate it, as it is provided. We have a lot of space, which is why this is not a drawback for me.
