As an asthmatic I can tell you that DUST is a no- no. I’m not supposed to be around it, breathe it, or have things that attract it like carpet, stuffed animals, etc. The things that I have no control over that I need dust attracts like curtains, glass t.v. stand, lamp shades, ceiling fan, even an air conditioner. There are dust and germs everywhere and I been trying my hardest for years to live dust free but it seems like the gadgets that are out just isn’t doing anything for me until I was recently invited to the launch of Dyson’s new cordless vacuum cleaner Digital Slim DC59. I never used a vacuum cleaner in my apartment because I thought it was just for carpets and I don’t have carpets, just a few area rugs and a bathroom mat. That’s it, but don’t get me wrong I’ve used vacuum cleaners just now where I’m at now.
Little to my surprise this machine does it all.
First of all it’s CORDLESS. Hallelujah. If there’s one thing I hate it’s tripping over cords and I’ve been doing that a lot lately. Dyson knew and heard people complaining about that and made their customers very happy by #cutthecord .
Second, very lightweight (4.65 lbs.)
Third, it has an easy to assemble docking station that charges your vacuum that lasts for 26 minutes. It can be mounted on the wall and if you ask a New Yorker with a small apartment with hardly any room this would be great for them because it’s out the way and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Genius. I had a great time vacuuming with this cordless vac. It really sucked up all the crumbs, flour, and food off the demo floors. I compared it with other brands and this did wonders. My kids would want to vacuum everyday if we had one if these. I am head over heels for this.
Here are some facts about Digital Slim DC59:
DC59 is powered by the Dyson digital motor V6. The digital motor spins at up to 110,000 times a minute, up to 3 times faster than conventional motors contributing towards the machine’s powerful suction.
Improved pick up across every floor type
DC59’s floor tool has been engineered to be lighter and improve pick-up. A self-tightening mechanism keeps the brush bar stable and a dust capture channel prevents dirt from escaping back to the floor, increasing pick-up. The new configuration of carbon fiber filaments and nylon bristle strips removes dust and dirt across carpet and hard floors.
Cleans under low furniture
Low profile cleaner head. Stays flat to the floor when the machine is fully reclined.
Hygienic bin emptying
New hygienic one-touch bin empty. Just push the button to release the dirt. Accessible from either side.
2 Tier Radial™ cyclones
15 cyclones, arranged across two tiers, work in parallel to increase airflow and capture fine dust.
The Digital Slim DC59 retails for $499.99 and is available in February.
Anything handheld is my friend and the Dyson DC 58 handheld is one powerful vacuum. This machine is not only super light, it contains extension compartments that is great for high to reach places like my ceiling fan, curtains, and cabinets which attract lots of dust. The DC58 is very lightweight too. It also has a super hygienic dirt removal system. Just push a button and you’re done. This would make a great gift for my hubby who said he needs a handheld vacuum for his car.
Here are facts about the DC58:
The DC58 handheld vacuum cleaner is powered by the Dyson digital motor V6. This 350W motor, 2 Tier Radial™ cyclones and a re-engineered nickel manganese cobalt battery combine to provide powerful suction.
Run-time enhancing trigger
On when you need it, off when you don’t.
Many other handheld vacuum cleaners remain switched on from the moment cleaning starts. Battery power is wasted between cleaning tasks.
Dyson DC58 has a run-time enhancing trigger. Trigger grip releases instantly, meaning battery power is only used for vacuuming. It allows for 20 minutes of powerful suction.
This one retails for $249.99 and is also available come February.
The DC65 was another vacuum I tested out as well. Any vacuum that is Tangle -free is a thumbs up for me. With women in my household we always have hair everywhere. If this machine is that powerful that removes all kinds of hair then I’m throwing out my broom today!!
Here are facts about the DC65:
DC65 Animal is engineered for outstanding cleaning performance and ease of use. There’s also a Tangle-free Turbine tool to remove dirt and hair from carpets and upholstery. With its self-adjusting cleaner head and re-engineered brushbar, bristles dig deeper into carpets to remove more dust and dirt, while providing superior performance on hard floors. The DC65 has been built to achieve the highest suction at the cleaner head, twice the suction as any other vacuum.¹ The DC65 has remodeled cyclones and uses the latest Ball™ technology.
Strongest suction at the cleaner head
Many upright vacuums use fixed settings. Their cleaner heads don’t self-adjust to different floor types – the bigger the gap between cleaner head and floor, the more suction power is wasted. With an active base plate it creates the optimal cleaner head contact for every floor type, reducing air leaks and retaining more suction power. It’s designed for outstanding performance across all floors – not just carpets, but the whole of your house.
Hygienic and quick to empty
Emptying the bin on a Dyson vacuum is quick and hygienic. Just press the button to release the dirt. The bin is clear, so you can see when it needs emptying – and how much dust, dirt and pet hair the machine has captured. Dyson vacuums were the first to have clear bins – despite market researchers insisting it was a bad idea. Now clear bins are everywhere (though not all are made from the same ABS polycarbonate as riot shields, like Dyson bins).
Soft dusting brush
The Dyson Soft dusting brush gently removes dust and allergens from flat surfaces, delicate areas and upholstery. The fine nylon bristles are angled at 45° to sweep dust into the airflow, where it is sucked away. The front bristles are wider spaced to prevent sticking to furniture. A felt strip down the middle of the brush helps protect polished and delicate surfaces from scratching.
The Dyson DC65 retails between $499-$649.
I enjoyed learning about these great machines I would love any of them. Dyson is a brand that I trust and is going to be around for a long time. There are more surprises from Dyson coming soon so keep your eyes and ears open.
