About this deal

We recommend using the turbine brush on carpeted stairs. It’s small enough to fit on a stair, and the rotating brush will get a carpeted step much cleaner than the tiny stair brush attachment. Noise There are some design quirks that make the Dyson City a little frustrating to use. It does well in all of our performance tests, but it isn’t a perfect cleaning machine. The cord is too short, the dust bin is too small, and maintaining the DC26 can get a bit messy. Getting Started This is a huge plus because the turbine brush is small enough to use on upholstery as well. If your pet leaves you plenty of fur to remove, this canister vacuum has the ability to clean it up on a variety of surfaces. There are some instances though where the suction is a bit too strong and the rug, especially if it is a small entryway rug, can get lifted off the ground below.

The small 0.15 gallon bin has a bowl shaped bottom. When you take the canister off the machine and then press the red lever to dump out the debris, some of the dust gets caught up in this little bowl. The other two tools that snap onto the wand are a very small stair brush and a crevice tool that doubles as an upholstery brush. These tools do come in handy for cleaning different surfaces other than floors. The main unit and hose is already set up. First, you will have to snap the handle onto the hose. Second, attach the long reach wand to the handle. It also works very nicely for cleaning those hard to reach areas from stairs to closets, and even the interior of a car. One negative aspect of the Dyson DC26 is the shorter cord length. This factors into the maneuverability because at only 16.5 feet long, we often would inadvertently pull the cord out as we were cleaning a room.The smaller particles were removed easily. After a few passes, we were able to get all the larger particles off the carpeting. Some people think that because it’s a bagless machine, all they have to do is empty the dust bin and they are good to go. Wrong! There are a few negatives to the Dyson City as it pertains to cleaning carpets. We did notice, especially when cleaning larger areas, that the width of the turbine brush was pretty narrow. At only 8 inches wide, a larger carpeted room takes some time to cover the entire carpeted area. If you have anyone in your house with long hair, or if you have pets that shed their fur often, you might have to perform this maintenance step a few times a year. Just take a scissors and cut away the hair or fur that is wrapped around the brush bar. Value For Money

Another nice feature on the Dyson DC26 canister vacuum are the two featured cleaning heads that snap on and off. The turbine head is ideal for cleaning short pile carpeting, and the articulating brush does a wonderful job on hard floors. For both carpets and hard floors, the edges were cleaned up easily with the Dyson City. You won’t even have to get out the crevice tool to make sure the edges and corners of your floor are clean. Who should buy this machine? If you have a smaller place with hard floors and short pile carpet, this Dyson is meant for you. Actually, if you have a smaller place and are allergic to pet dander, dust, or pollen, this vacuum is perfect. Three simple steps will keep your Dyson DC26 running smoothly. The first and easiest to notice is you have to empty out the dust bin often. For some reason, canister vacuums aren’t that big here in the States. They do take some getting used to, but there are some inherent advantages to this Dyson City’s lightweight canister design.On the positive side, the Dyson DC26 articulating tool is a lot wider than the turbine brush. Even for such a small canister vacuum, it can clean a large area of hard flooring in a minimal amount of time. Edge Cleaning The Dyson DC26 City did surprisingly well in all of our tests. It might be small, but there aren’t many messes that can’t be cleaned effectively with the DC26. Some of the highlights of this machine include how well it did with small particles on short pile carpeting. It also does a fabulous job on hard surfaces no matter what sized particle you have to clean up.

With a simple snap, you can pull down the upholstery attachment on the crevice tool. This is nice for dusting, or freshening up curtains.

The nice smooth pivoting head allows you to clean up against the edge of the wall. The powerful suction of the small canister gets the debris no matter if you vacuum head on or you pass by the side of the wall with the edge of the brush. Filtration
