The Dyson DC33 Multi Floor vacuum cleaner is a lightweight, easy to carry, powerful bagless upright vacuum for each floor type. It weighs just 17.6 pounds with no agreement in durability. Its longer Telescope Reach wand extends 15.7 feet for high reach cleaning, with no uncomfortable parts to assemble. The lifetime washable HEPA filter traps microscopic allergens. Plus, it comes with a free Soft Dusting Brush and Flexi Crevice Tool. This model also has Root Cyclone technology. All Dyson vacuums patented cyclone technology, meaning no loss of suction as you clean. This machine captures more dirt and microscopic dust than other cyclones. Still, the hygienic bin emptying minimizes risk of contact with dirt. As well, the Lifetime HEPA Filter traps microscopic pollen and allergens, making it ideal for allergy patients. All Dyson upright and canister vacuums are bagless, so there aren’t costly bags to replace. They also come with washable filters and free shipping. The vacuum carries a 5 year warranty for parts and labor.

4.0 out of five stars DC33 vs DC25, November 17, 2010
By Newton See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen) I tried both of these, and have come to the conclusion that the DC33 is superior. Here is why:

The suction and brush bar are obviously more powerful. This is what sold me. I can see the difference in carpet lines (medium pile carpet) when I use one or the other.
35ft cord is a important benefit over the 25ft cord. I can nearly do the complete floor by just plugging in a single outlet. Two could cover the whole house. With the DC25, I had to constantly unplug and replug.
Larger dustbin means I can keep vacuuming for longer without emptying. As well, the design on this one looks to keep the shroud (the perforated shield inside the canister) freer of stuck on dust.
Quieter
Although a bit bigger, it’s a alike weight to the DC25.
Critical sections may be easily taken separately to clear blockages.
The DC25 has a tiny plastic part that keeps the vacuum from tipping over in upright mode caused by the ball system. If I tilt the vacuum to the side while it’s close to being upright, I can hear a deafening snap as the plastic part is forced into a position where it should not be. I can see this breaking really soon.

There are many shortcomings:

The wand is a clear cost cutting measure. It’s plastic rather than aluminum. As well, the handle is missing (present in the DC25) a contoured plastic part that makes it more ergonomic to hold when using the wand. It also requires another button to release AND another button to retract the wand. Lastly, when you release the wand from the hose, there’s just a bare hose, rather than a alike cuff as the one at the end of the wand with a release button as on the DC25. It’s still usable, but not as nice. It just adds to the already cumbersome wand system on the Dysons.
The DC33 switches suction to the wand when in upright position whereas the DC25 switches it when the wand is drawn. A minor annoyance, particularly if you are wearing a long sleeved shirt; it may get sucked in when you hold the handle.
No ball, but to me the difference in maneuverability is negligible.

Update 3/4/2011: I used this vacuum for some months now. I returned the DC25 and don’t miss it at all. The DC33 continues to do admirably. True to Dyson’s assert, the suction is as good as new. I have washed the filters once and the procedure was simple, much simpler than going to the store and purchasing filter bags. Vacuuming is a pleasure, caused by to get the instant gratification of seeing the the dust gather in the bin, and the clean exhaust. It is most likely subconscious, but as a sufferer of seasonal allergies and constant nasal congestion, I feel like I can breathe better when I vacuum.

The only ache was removing hair from the brush bar. It does not pop off, unlike the DC25, so removing hair may be a cumbersome procedure.

5.0 out of five stars GREAT vacuum!!, February 9, 2011
By Jennifer Fox (Arkansas) See all my reviews This review is from: Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen) I did many of research before I bought this Dyson and nearly got the DC28 Animal one because I have a big dog that sheds. After doing many reading online, I learned this is the same machine as the animal except for the attachments! that is the only difference! So I decided for $200 less than the Animal one I could do without the “special” attachments. The 1st time I pulled this out of the box and used it in my living room I was not all that impressed, particularly with the suction but I decided to go over my floor again and practice with the attachments. Well, it must just have required to warm up or something being brand new because the second time the suction amazed!! (and ever since!) It left the lines on the carpet from where I had vacuumed (I love that!) and it also fluffed up the carpet and made it feel like when we 1st bought the carpet and our feet sank down in it a bit!! cool!! And the best part it picked up the dog hair!!!!! With my old vacuum I could still get dog hair on my clothes after vacuuming but I tested my Dyson: After vacuuming with it the 1st day I had my toddler drag a clean black shirt all over the carpet and guess what? Not a single dog hair was on it!! Every time I have used it since the suction was amazing!

Below I wanted to deal with many of the negatives I have read in reviews about it. I was happy I ignored them and bought this anyway!

I has been impressed with the suction from the side of it. With the front you can not get right up to the baseboards but if you may be able to run the side of the vacuum against it, it works good (or just use the wand). On another note about the front no it will not get under furniture or the edge of things. The high profile of the front of the vacuum prevents that but that was ok with me. With this kind of strong suction I would not want to be vacuuming where I can not see what it may grab anyway! And you may be able to tell by looking at the picture that it will not do this before you purchase.. not sure why many people are surprised by this.

THE WAND: this did take many practice but I like it good. Many have said the vacuum info over when you’re trying to use it but I have not had that happen at all. In fact, when I have been using the wand on the baseboards and walk and pull, the vacuum has really rolled along behind me like a canister vacuum could do following me! Just be sure the back of the vacuum where the wand was is facing you so it can roll with you while you walk. I also read some number of reviews saying the wand will suck your shirt sleeve in (because the wand is the handle and the suction switches to the wand when the vacuum is in the upright position.) But I have a simple fix for this TURN THE VACUUM OFF BEFORE putting it to the upright position. Not sure why you could need or want it on while to get the wand or attachments out and prepared anyway. Just turn it off before switching. (and the same when starting to vacuum recline it 1st, THEN turn it on.) another thing on the wand I’ll say that it could be easier if the long end part was adaptable or if the hard section was not so long. It’s a bit uncomfortable at 1st figuring out the best way to use it. I found that if you just back up a bit from what you’re trying to vacuum it gives room for you to manuever the long wand. Just do not get so close and it is no big deal. I’ll say it’s nice though to have a long hard section wand to get cobwebs on high cielings.

Unlike what many have said, this vacuum isn’t heavy! They must have been comparing it with a swiffer mop or something because as far as regular vacuums go I was happy with the weight! (go to a store and pick them up to compare.) it is really much lighter than most I tried out in the stores. It’s easy to push on my thick carpet! it is not bulky either and I find it manuevarable. In fact I tried out the ‘ball’ dyson in the store and did not think it was any more manueverable than the regular one. I also did not like the release on the ball one (that reclines it to vacuum than clicks it to upright.) I had to use such force to push on the foot lever to get it to recline that I could see it breaking after awhile. Not sure if that was just an issue with the floor model or what but I am happy I did not get the ball type. (the canister is smaller on those too!)

THE CANISTER: is easy to dump. My old bagless vacuum you had to take the top off the canister and really dig out the junk. This one has a useful release on it: You take the canister off the vacuum (with one hand at the click of a button!), and while holding it down in the trash can, you push the button that opens the BOTTOM of the canister letting all the junk fall out the bottom down into the trash. Now you do have to use your fingers to then close the bottom up, but come on two fingers with a little dust is much better than most! And it is easy enough to just wash my hands afterwards.

Sound LEVEL: it is pretty calm as far as vacuums go. My young kids used to be scared of my vacuum and could run for cover every time I got it out. The 1st time I used this one they not only came out in shock that it was not many monster going to eat them but they really skipped across in front of it playing while I vacuumed!

BARE FLOOR TO CARPET LEVER: many have said this is a hard thing to do. That confuses me because it’s just a wheel like switch on the front of the vacuum that you just turn to ‘bare floor’ or ‘carpet’. Ok, so you do have to bend down. Is that a problem? .. I do not think so. (sorry for the sarcasm. Lol)

OK, so after all the good now I’ll share the short bad. The ONLY problem I have had with this at all:
It tends to leave a clump of dog hair at the last place it standed when I am done and turn it off. I realized though this was most likely because I turned it off so fast when I was done that the last thing it picked up had not made it up into the canister still. I solved this problem by letting it run for some seconds in the same position when I was done before turning it off. That lets all the last stuff it picks up get up into the canister so when I turn it off there is no clump left. It was a simple fix I just remember to do every time when I am finished. I am happy to do that little thing for the benefit of all that dog hair being gone!

So in general I’m happy with this vacuum and greatly recommend it particularly if you have pets.

4.0 out of five stars Addressing poor ratings from others., April 4, 2011
By lbs360 “lbs360″ (Rochester NY) See all my reviews This review is from: Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen) I have read many many reviews on the Dyson DC33 before buying. While the most of them are positive, and I agree, there are some negative reviews that are just ridiculous.

First, I agree that the extension arm does appear cheap and is uncomfortable to use. Does it work, yes. Does this annoy me? Not enough to give the vacuum a awful review. This is the only reason I give it four stars. The handle to the wand is a bit flimsy. I get around this by really holding the wand itself and not the handle.

Other than the above, the suction is great. We bought this vacuum for our new home. The last holders had pets and vacuumed and shampooed the carpets before we moved it. The DC33 still pulls up dog and cat hair that the last holders couldn’t get out of the carpet. I used this vacuum to clean my car and vacuum up dust from sanding our walls. I have not found any other faults in it, other then the extension wand.

As for the other negative reviews. Someone stated that they were disappointed that they had to unravel the cord themselves? Cmon. You cant expect your vacuum to do everything for you. This just screams lazy. Others commented that it wont reach under the sofa. Well, Then move the damn sofa. You may be able to effectively vacuum under your sofa totally without moving it anyway. There was one other that states that Dyson was liable for damaging hardwood or linoleum floors because their floors were not level. How is this the fault of the vacuum? Sounds to me like someone didnt install your floors properly. Last on that list, the attachments are too complicated to use for your maid? Are you kidding? This thing is really easy to use. Why not attempt reading the information.

Why did I get a Dyson? Simple reason, my mother. She’s had pets all her life and I have never seen a vacuum pull as much hair out of a rug as her Dyson Animal does. I got a good feel for the vacuum at her house while visiting. We decided on the DC33 because we don’t have pets and the Animal was overkill for us.

For the best pricing out there, go to banksvac.Com. We got our DC33 for $309 shipped. Free shipping, No taxes and at least $90 less than anybody else that has this vacuum for sale.

Is it perfect, no. But it’s still a damn good vacuum in my book and I could purchase another one if I required to.

Dyson DC35 Digital thin Multi Floor is the most powerful cordless vacuum cleaner. Driven by the Dyson digital motor, the most power efficient motor ever developed for a cordless vacuum. Intended for each floor type, the DC35 features Root Cyclone™ technology, which uses powerful centrifugal forces to turn dust and dirt out of the air and into the bin, with no loss of suction. The motorized cleaner head of the Dyson DC35 has a conductive carbon fiber brush bar. The brush bar holds rows of ultra fine carbon fiber filaments engineered to take off good dust from hard floors, also as inflexible bristles intended for intensive cleaning on rugs and carpets. The velour bumper on the front of the floor tool protects furniture and walls from bumps and bruises, and an independent motor in the cleaner head spins the brush bar 1,500 times a minute for maximum pickup. DC35 has a 22.2 volt lithium ion battery that doesn’t fade throughout use, so power stays strong as you clean. Also, this lithium ion battery recharges up to three times faster than others. Dual power mode lets for 15 minutes of high constant suction for regular cleaning, (13 minutes with the motorized floor tool attachment), or six minutes on MAX power for more hard cleaning tasks. The Dyson DC35 has a removable long reach wand made of lightweight aluminium that reaches up high, down low and into uncomfortable spaces for all around cleaning capability. The clear bin allows you to see when it’s full, and is easily emptied with the push of a button, minimizing contact with dirt and allergens. The Dyson DC35 cordless vacuum will include a crevice tool for cleaning tight and narrow spaces and a mix accessory tool which changes to a brush tool for dusting. The included docking station may be used for recharging and storing the machine and attachments when not used. DC35 comes with a two year warranty, parts and labor guaranteed by Dyson.

4.0 out of five stars Great movable vacuum to nearly replace your real vacuum, January 19, 2011
By Azza (Sydney) See all my reviews This review is from: Dyson DC35 Digitial thin Multi floor cordless vacuum cleaner (Misc.) I have had this vacuum (Australian model) for a couple of months now and am happy. I certainly recommend it. It’s so good it’ll most likely replace using the bigger Dyson DC 08 we have, or at least decrease the total of times we have to pull it out.

A not many thoughts so far:

Pros
This has the common benefits of normal Dyson vacuum cleaners like bagless, easy to use (and empty), great suction, etc but here are some more
+ Cordless means it’s fast and easy to grab and use so it is great for cleaning up around the dining table and after the kids. I am more probably to use this and vacuum sometimes, rather than waiting til everything is really dirty before dragging our big vacuum cleaner out
+ Can use with or without the wand attachment which means it’s more adaptable than an upright vacuum cleaner
+ Solidly built and easy to clean/use and move around.
+ The suction is most likely as good as my big Dyson (or nearly as good). It’s great for cleaning the car mats/seats.
+ 15 mins of suction is more than enough to do the dirty bits of the house, and in fact nearly all the house. I was not sure about this but it is more than enough (e.G. Yesterday I did five rooms + hallway and it did not run out of charge).
+ Fast to charge (approximately three hours) and comes with docking station
+ Li ion battery means no battery memory, and it has a removable battery which means it may be easily replaced. Batteries hopefully are not too ruinously costly (they seem ok from my current check)
+ Looks great.

Cons (most of they are pretty minor)
Costly, it could be cheaper to purchase many of the other Dysons!
A bit heavier and harder on the wrist/hand than I thought (but I guess that’s why it has a decent battery life). After five mins vacuuming, my hand was somewhat sore but you may be able to generally change hands.
Do not like having to squeeze the trigger all the time. There’s no way to leave it on. This constant squeezing of the trigger may give to the sore hand/wrist.
Electrical cord is rather short, particularly given most power points are on the floor and the docking station will be up high. It means your docking station needs to be close to a power point or you need an extension cord
Motorised head is narrower than I thought so it takes longer to vacuum than using the big Dyson, but the tradeoff isn’t having to move the extra weight of a full sized vacuum
A adaptable hose attachment for to get hard to reach places (e.G. Under the car seat) isn’t included
No pass through charge, otherwise I could vacuum while it’s on the charger (and use it as a normal vacuum)
Does not stand upright by itself (but that is not a big deal).
When charging, the charging position light is shown on the adapter at the power point, not on the vacuum cleaner itself. This is really weird, particularly given
(i) your power point is probably to be low, less observable than the top of the vacuum cleaner, and possibly obscured.
(ii) there’s an display light over the vacuum that indicates when it’s turned on. This light should have been used to point to charge position. I am not sure why this display light is required for feedback given you can not really turn it on by accident, and if you do it emits this deafening vacuuming sound. A charging display on the cleaner itself could be useful (but not essential).

5.0 out of five stars Dyson DC35 in a word: AWESOME, April 12, 2011
By Matt See all my reviews () This review is from: Dyson DC35 Digitial thin Multi floor cordless vacuum cleaner (Misc.) 1st ever Dyson product and we totally LOVE IT. Read all the reviews, blahblahblah, took the plunge and ordered it. After about a week of use, here is my take:

Suction is great. Do not know what planet the people are on who say it is missing here. Oh, and BTW: Vacuum differs depending on elevation, if you live at like 9,000′ yeah, ANY vacuum will not suck (or will suck, based on where you are coming from).
In general design is great. Smart, smart, smart. Dyson clearly puts many of thought into their design and I, for one, appreciate that.
Trigger: So I was worried about this. But it is good. Really, it is (look for the theme, here) SMART. Why? Because you are looking at about 15 minutes runtime. Which is plenty. But the trigger forces you to turn the damn thing OFF when you move to another room, put it down to move a bench, whatever. Think about it: They put an ON/OFF switch and many dimwit will leave it on when they walk off to answer the phone, check on Fluffy, whatever.And when the battery runs out they’ll be the ones to gripe. So the trigger is good. No sweat.
Maneuverability: This thing will go ANYWHERE. Whatever it “supposedly” lacks in anything else, it makes up for in easy use and the capability to get into small, weird places.
Cost: Yeah, it is costly. So are luxury cars and you usually get what you pay for. Given that this thing improves my life quality I’m MORE than happy to pay the price.
Accessories/Mounting Plate: Again, smart and minimalistic.
Battery life: OK, so I live in a smaller home, about 1,600 sq. Ft. And while I have still to run out of juice I can understand how if you lived in a big house this may be an issue. Not sure what to tell you.Either get a corded one or just vacuum for 15 minutes at a time. I read a review where a lady said “Life is too short to use up more than 15 minutes vacuuming.” Well said, lady. Well said.

I used this thing almost every day for three reasons: 1) it is just cool. 2) I’m steadily amazed with the stuff it picks up. And let me tell you, we keep a clean house. That said, I dump the canister and just shake my head. 3) When something is easy to use, you are more probably to use it. Being cordless is just the way to go.

So by now you’re sick of reading so let me just tell you that the Dyson gets two big thumbs up/5 stars from a hard to please, penny pinching skeptic of a buyer.

5.0 out of five stars An upright cordless that really works, January 24, 2011
By Joseph Albahari (Perth, Australia) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Dyson DC35 Digitial thin Multi floor cordless vacuum cleaner (Misc.) This cordless vacuum really works and is a pleasure to use. If you have ever fought with another upright cordless, you will know what I mean. (If you have never used a cordless vacuum, imagine the difference between a mains tethered motormower and petrol powered variant.)

Here’s how the DC35 stands out:

Power. While weaker than a mains powered vacuum, it is amazingly good for a cordless and only sometimes annoys you by failing to pick something up. (Others are so weak you end up wishing you lugged out the mains powered vacuum). Dyson say the power does not drop as the dust container fills, and this looks to be true from using it. Looking at how it is constructed, you may be able to see why this is so other manufacturers, take note!)
Easy emptying. For evident reasons, portables have a small capacity and need recurrent emptying. This model is (possibly?) distinctive in that you just press a button and the waste flicks cleanly out the bottom without an airborne dust explosion.
Build and design quality. It is clear that the manufacturers have evaded cutting corners (and the price reflects it).

It does not completely replace a mains powered vacuum (or a hired cleaner), but I find this cordless does 95 of what is vital. Battery life is only 13 minutes but life is too short to use up longer than that vacuuming. Once you get experienced at using it, 13 minutes of run time is enough to do the major area of a medium sized house plus half of the left over rooms (which you alternate every time you vacuum). Perfect.

The motorized head is efficient on both hard surfaces and carpets. It also comes with crevice/brush tools for to get into corners or cleaning the car. (Again, 13 minutes is a sensible time bound for vacuuming a car!) Unlike the Electrolux Boss I had before, the filter in the DC35 isn’t made of fragile paper that you must periodically replace. It is hard and washable. The vacuum comes with a wall mountable docking station though you do not have to to use it you may be able to keep the power cable separate from the docking station and just plug it in to recharge. The charger stops when the battery is full, so you leave it on all the time without shortening the battery life through overcharging.

I should also say this has a great ‘feel’ and is as fun as vacuuming gets. I do not find it hard to hold the trigger down continuously and the whole thing is light and maneuverable. This is the vacuum for people who have things to do in life besides cleaning.
