 Go for the dc39, I absolutly love them , I think it is the best dyson canister they have made, The animal trigger head rival upright vacuum cleaners. My customers Love them, I have had one for about 8 months now.
I have he dc26 canister too but that machine is designed for smaller apartments, I would go for the DC39 ,,,,, The dc29db animal is also worth a look if you guys get it there.

rolls rapide f That is bits of cotton from a progect my son was doing at the time, There was cotton and foam all over the carpet. I should have cleaned it before I took the pic. I thrashed this machine before we launched it in SA, ( In SA we most people have cleaning lady's who are well known for destroying anything, I had kirby in were the cleaner head's one side was broken OFF, brush roll included ) I normally don't like canister vacuums and prefer uprights but this thing is amazing, in my opinion its the best canister I have ever used, I hate dragging a vacuum behind me but this one is great.
I also like the fact that the hardfloor tool has a parking tab( dc23 didn't ) that means you can lug it around on the back of the machine like on the photo.
The trigger on the handle is one of those dyson idea's and you wonder why no one ever came up with that before. its so convenient when cleaning a house with carpets and hardfloors or with rugs on the hardfloor.

I had the DC26 City Vac and I just couldn't get on with it - worse for the fact that for that model alone, Dyson's other tools don't fit on it, so you're stumped if you want to buy the accessory kit or anything else other than optional turbine tools that Dyson sell for it, exclusively. It also has a tiny bin capacity and fills up pretty quickly.

Sebo fan , I have a UK spec dc26 and its tools are all interchangeble with other current dyson canisters and uprights, It has the same tool connection as the
dc 19T2,19db,22,23,24,25,27,29,32,33,38,39,40,41.
All of the attachments fit including the hard flor tool, turbine head, mini turbine head, uptop tool, soft dusting brush,stubborn dirt brush | ||

Rob, to be honest the ball is more or less a gimmick to try and tie the ball canisters in with the ball uprights despite the fact the ball has no real purpose on the canisters. After all, many consumers would not "get it" if it didn't have a ball. Scott | ||

Whoops - it wasn't the DC23, it was the City Vac DC26 - sorry! At the time of purchase I wasn't able to get other tools for it. It may have improved now. I found the DC26's main problem was the larger hose - it made managing and in performance, difficult. The whole experience was also fairly expensive for what the DC26 brings to the table.

Rob
you say that but judging the condition of the miele's we see in our wrokshop for repair and servicing I think that you will get more dust on your hands trying to remove the miele bag than anything else. Especially if it uses the new material bags, They leak dust like mad. 10 years ago when a miele cam into ort shop whit the paper bags the inside of the machine was clean and clear, Now with the high filtration bags the machines are always filthy and dusty.
It does make perfect sence though. Old paper bags a habit of clogging but they did this because they stpped the dust. If you think about it the new bags are high filtraton, meaning they don't clogg asmuch but the only way a bag will breathe easier is by making the pours bigger so they do not clogg. I have yet to see one of these high filtration bags work properly.
Mad about hoovers If you still think that Miele build quality is better than dysons then you have't seen new miele's, I have seen better quality plastics on entry level Electrolux's and Eureka's. The s5's are always in here for broken switches and hoods, The worst thing is they paint the switches so after a few uses the button looks terrible.

That trigger feature is so handy when you have a house that is multi floored, Yes I always prefer to use a proper hardfloor nozzle on the hard flooring BUT when doing day to day Joshua clean-ups as we call them in our house( my eldest son) it is a very handy feature when the kida are going nuts supper needs to be done and homework, garden pets carwash ,over time wrk ,, yea the hectic life
sbnhvlvr Thank you for starting a good thread, Its been a while since I have enjoyed a thread | ||

Dc14, I own both but compare apples with apples , Compaire the S7 to a dc25 and the dc25 will run circles around the S7, it also weighs half the weight and moves more freely
I own the company that is the appointed service agent for dysn in SA, We hardly ever see a dyson with any body damage. The few we do see have been in extream circumstances, IE hit by the car in the garage, or fell 4 stories. I am not an officiol Miele agent Yet I get so many with broken body's The S7 is prown to breaking the bag door, and the swivel, I don't think there is a country in the world better suited to testing Vacuums than SA. The level of abuse they get given here by cleaning staff is unrivalled.
I too like Miele's but they are not made like they used to be, and I would never ever say that they are better made than a dyson, The Eectrolux Ultra one is a far superior machine to a Miele and much better made,

I definitely agree with Gareth that the current Miele vacs you can buy now are made of lesser quality - the main bodies and internal parts are made with lighter, cheaper plastics to balance the weight. However, bear in mind that the HyClean dust bags (and previously the IntensiveClean bags) were both synthetic to cope with the higher motors. It is the same with the Hoover Pure Filt bags made for the Sensory, Telios and Arrianne - even when Hoover stopped selling the Arrianne in the UK, they appeared on the continent with 1700 watts that had tendencies to tear the basic, brown dust bags compared to synthetic bags. I noted the generic Miele paper dust bags used in my much heavier Miele S571 were of no use either due to the higher power of 1800 watts - the synthetic dust bags cope better with the higher power.

Dyson canister Gareth, I have to tell you I appreciate you answering all the questions about the Dysons and I can sure understand and appreciate your loyalty to what you sell. Now I want to give this new DC39 a try! | ||

Why is there not more Dyson canisters with electric PN instead of turbo PN? Hoover Turbo Cyclonic & XXX VortecCyclonic have exact same Dyson cyclonic technology, but have electric power nozzle which cleans more effectively than turbine PN.

I think Dyson will have worked out by now that electric power nozzles could be made - but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that most European brands don't offer PN options. It adds weight and so forth, taking away the lightweight reputation that Dyson has also factored into many of the canister designs since the heavy DC02 (I had two of them including a limited edition Antarctica).
Europe also has a knack of producing separate vacuum cleaner ranges so that one sector, or line doesn't interfere with sales of the other. Those looking for a PN would be probably directed to any one of Dyson's light "compact" uprights. He's changed the way mini turbo brushes are designed with that cassette style attachment and I think it may be a matter of time before a power nozzle is developed, so that it is far lighter than current units. | ||

I have a dc21 with the motor head, Its wonderful but like ryan says, I ould rather buy a dc42 upright than the heavy motorhead, I think the dc37/39 trigger head is very effective,light weight and easy to use. If you have a house with mainly hard flooring and a few rugs a Turbine head is great, If you have mostly carpets then you would buy a upright.

well...... when i had a dc21, i had nothing but problems with the electric hose and powernozzle, they eventually both shorted out and had to be replaced under warranty. i would go with the dc39, the dc23 is probly going to be cheaper but you get more with the dc39 | ||

The dc19/20/29 is my favorite design of dyson canister as they are just so robust. We often get customers bringing them in after 6 or seven years ( 19/20) asking for a service. The first thing I do is open it up infront of them and take out the filter and they look in amazment. " I never knew it had a filter their " they always say. I even know of a few builders who use then mounted ontop of larger drums to suck up building dust as the normal industrial ones just clog up to fast with cement dust.
On the other hand I love the look of the dc11 and dc37/39 They look awesome. I think the Dc37/39 animal is a brilliant vacuum The trigger head is a fantastic piece of engineering and as good if not far better than any of the Euro style Motor driven powernozzles that we get here. Its also the only air driven power nozzle that I have seen that actually grooms the Carpet. | ||

Whatever became of Dyson's Digital Motor? The DC22 had such a short time here and now they seem untouchable when I see how high they sell on eBay. That's the only time I ever saw a Dyson canister in the U.S. with variable speed control (on the hose handle, mind you) and an electric power nozzle. | ||

I don't think for the foreseeable future Dyson will fit their digital motor in full size machines apart from Japan which they have done recently into the small ball canister. I think they want to expand on the cordless market personally which uses a version of it! I wish they would use it as it has some benefits I would of thought over congenital motors they use..... Maybe one day!
One thing they don't even use their own digital motor in their blade less fans! | ||
