I haven't used the DC39 yet, although I really want to. I currently own a DC23 Motorhead and it is probably one of the better vacuums in my collection. The power nozzle is decent sized, the hose is pretty long, and the attachments are pretty good as well. It also has the stair hugger feature which is pretty nifty if you don't have a landing on your stairs. The only thing I don't like about it is the inability to remove the wand from the hose. Whenever you want to use an attachments besides the power nozzle you have to reach down and disconnect the power nozzle and then attach an attachment. I really like mine for the most part though.
I would stay away from the Hoover Platinum canister. I have the green model which is the same thing except it doesn't have the height adjustment and power switch in the handle. While it is a great vacuum and cleans pretty well, it is huge. The canister on mine is pretty scuffed up from banging into the corners of doorways. The attachments are also pretty lousy. You only get the crevice tool and upholstery/dusting brush. They are both built into the handle which I thought was going to be a disaster, but it actually is really handy having the attachments right there. My green model also didn't come with a bare floor brush which was really disappointing for me. In conclusion I'd probably recommend the Dyson, but that's just me. Hope this helps! Chase |

The Hoover has power nozzle neck issues. That being said, the issues are all caused by customer's hard use. The cleaner IS large, kind of hard to pull around. Does a brilliant cleaning job though.
The DC39 is a great machine at filtering and keeping the dirt away from the filters. But the turbo powered nozzle leaves a LOT to be desired. It won't do a very good job on the rugs unless they're indoor/outdoor or berber type. The brush bar wraps fairly quickly with hair. The vacuums pulls very easily, doesn't tip, and is a great canister. If only it had an electric power head. You might consider the Electrolux Ultra Active. I own one, it's a GREAT bagless, and pretty durable. It's also fairly quiet. I'd recommend it as my top pick for a bagless, durable canister with an electric power nozzle. I bought, then returned, an LG canister and a Samsung canister - both bagless and with a power nozzle. While the LG cleaned well, it loaded the filter with dirt and decreased its suction very quickly. The Samsung's power nozzle didn't stand up by itself and the canister was a monstrosity to pull behind you. I don't think either machine would be suitable for your parents. |
