Dyson Ball DC24

Pros: Extremely lightweight, maneuverable, versatile, easy to store anywhere, washable HEPA filter.

Cons: Not as powerful or fully-featured as larger vacs.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a small, lightweight, easy-to-use vacuum, this Dyson is a great choice. If you need more bells and whistles, it may not be for you.

Review: This is a great little vacuum from Dyson. I used to have the original, non-Ball, DC07 Dyson, and it was a good machine, still going strong with no problems at all after four years. But for me it was very heavy, cumbersome and kind of hard to maneuver. I ...

Pros: Superior cleaning and allergy removal. Easy on floors. Lightweight and easy to use.

Cons: Expensive.

The Bottom Line: I really like this vacuum. Its easy to use and very lightweight. Great warranty.

Review: This could be the best vacuum cleaner ever by Dyson. The DC24 comes with Dyson’s patented ball technology and it includes all of the following features: a motorized brushbar, washable HEPA filter, clear bin, auto height adjuster, and a combination ...

Pros: small.  love the ball.  easy to empty.  handle goes down for storage.  washable filters.

Cons: filter in ball hard to get to.  cord isn't long enough. 

Review: Extremely happy with this powerful little unit.  Smaller than I expected.  Works fantastic in my 2600 sq. ft. house.  It's full of hardwoods and some carpet.  I once dreaded pulling out the old heavy dinasour now it's alot more ...

Pros: Cleans well, not too loud, very compact, no bags, easy to manuver

Cons: Cord is way to short, small dust bin, hardwood floor button sticks to power button

The Bottom Line: Good vaccuum, but has some shortcomings, especially the cord length.  Maybe not good for large homes.  Lighweight for those who need to carry it.

Review: Having had several less expensive vacuums over the years, we decided to pay a little more in hopes of a better unit.  Much of our carpet has been replaced with hardwood floors, so we needed one that allowed the beater bar to be turned off for use on ...

Pros: lightweight, retractable handle and small size makes storage easy in small home

Cons: high price, tiny dust cup, short accessory hose, ball won't fit under furniture

The Bottom Line: Best if you need a ultralight vacuum, have scant storage space, and are willing to spend $$$, but I think it is overhyped and overpriced for its actual performance.

Review: Due to arthritis, I was no longer able to use my trusty-but-weighty (and now discontinued) Dirt Devil bagless vacuum cleaner to deal with the effects of a dog, a dirt yard, and a naturally dusty old house. At 11.6 pounds, Dyson's DC24 was the lightest ...

Pros: light weight, reusable HEPPA filter, consistent suction after 1 year

Cons: price, performance, the Dyson Ball, flimsy overcomplicated construction, lack of rotating brush action

The Bottom Line: There are far better compact vacuum cleaners for much cheaper and much better for the same price.  You do not get what you pay for with this vacuum.   

Review: This vacuum was not purchased, but given as a registry gift to my wife and me.  I had never been willing to previously shell out the money for the much more expensive Dyson vacuums.  However, having a gift registry where you don’t ...

Pros: Lightweight, compact

Cons: Requires a lot of work just to make it work.  Short cord. 

Review: When my 10 y/o Wind Tunnel finally bit the dust I went shopping for a new vacuum.  My house is a smaller two story with hardwood and tile floors.  So, I wanted something compact (100 y/o houses lack storage space!) and lightweight to go up ...
