Dyson DC26 City Multi Floor Ultra-lightweigh Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

We liked how well this canister did on rugs, so long as the rugs aren’t thicker pile for the reasons we have stated in the carpeting section. You can carry it in your hand as you clean staircases, upholstery, or simply to suck up naughty little cobwebs that might gather in the corners of the ceiling. The teeth that come in contact with the floor can push some of the flour a little before it finds its way between. Canisters are already much lighter in their operation compared to an upright, but this compact Dyson canister vacuum is a lightweight even in the canister world. 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.

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. You won’t even have to get out the crevice tool to make sure the edges and corners of your floor are clean.

It also works very nicely for cleaning those hard to reach areas from stairs to closets, and even the interior of a car. The only situation that we found it to be useful for was to clean the vertical section of the staircase on a carpeted stairwell. The Dyson City might not be very popular in the United States, but it is a huge hit across the pond in Europe. It also has an automatic cord rewind and this is always fun to push to retract the cord when you’re done cleaning.

Another nice feature on the Dyson DC26 canister vacuum are the two featured cleaning heads that snap on and off. On the bright side, it retracts with the touch of a button, so you don’t spend any time winding up the cord when it’s not in use. You also have to clean another hidden filter on the Dyson DC26 that is located on the bottom of the canister. If your home has large open spaces, or medium to long pile carpeting, then Dyson DC26 City is not the best choice. We tested the claim that the Dyson City had a HEPA level filtration system with our airborne laser particle scanner.

This debris was sucked up with one pass after we dislodged it, but beware of this factor and shake loose your brush every now and again. There are two very small tabs that you have to unlock (try using a flat head screwdriver or we used a coin for this step).
