Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dyson DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum CleanerCustomer Review: Gets the job done well Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a less expensive Eureka vacuum to help manage the pet hair problems I've been having, with three dogs living in my house. It broke after one use, so I decided to bite the bullet and pay a little extra for a Dyson. I couldn't afford to get the larger, more expensive Dyson, but thought the DC24 would be enough to get the job done. I was right.
PROS
The ball: I LOVE the Dyson ball feature. I have always had the standard rectangular vacuums, that are relatively difficult to maneuver. The ball is easy to maneuver, and lets me get into tighter spaces. It moves really well, and makes vacuuming kind of fun (is that sad?).
It works well: It manages to pick up all the pet hair and dirt left by my dogs. I have both hardwood floors and medium-pile carpet, and the vacuum worked well in both areas.
Lightweight: The description says it weighs 17 pounds, which is light enough for me to carry up and down my three-story townhome. It's also light enough for me to use on my stairs without killing my arms.
It's easy to clean: The design of the machine makes it really easy to take the cannister off and empty it. You just click the cannister out, hold it over your trash bag or can, pull a little trigger and shake the dirt and hair out. Really easy!
Attachments: While some people on here have complained about the attachments, and how difficult they are to attach, I disagree. I think they are well-made and easy to use. Everything snaps in and out of place easily for me, and I like that the extension for reaching corners, ceilings, etc. is part of the main handle of the vacuum. There's not a lot of extra junk hanging off the machine, and when everything is put into place, it is very compact. The hose works well, and helped me clean hard-to-reach areas like next to the fridge, and in the corners of my ceiling.
Appearance: It might not even matter to most people, but I just think it looks cool. It's not clunky and awkward, and overflowing with hoses and plastic attachments. It's sleek and compact.
CONS
Cord: As others have said, it's got a fairly short cord. It's not a big issue for me, because I have tons of outlets, and don't have a huge house that would cause problems reaching certain areas. But I can see how it could be problematic in this case, and it is slightly annoying to have to plug it in several times. But honestly, it hasn't been a huge issue.
Cannister Volume: The cannister doesn't hold as much junk as I would hope. Like I said, I have three dogs, who all shed a decent amount, and I have to empty the cannister a couple times every time I use the vacuum. If I could afford the bigger version of this vacuum, I would have gotten it, but I make due with this smaller version.
Overall, I recommend this vacuum. It's stylish, lightweight and works well. I like using it, so I actually vacuum more often now. The short cord and small cannister volume might make you think twice about this particular model if you need something bigger and farther-reaching, but I wouldn't hesitate to get a Dyson. I love the thing.
