And wow! The DC39 is the cylinder variant rather than the upright which I thought I needed to desk with dog and cat fur. The sales lady said the Turbo head of is really efficient and as good as the uprights.
We’d vacuumed as usual a few days ago and the new machine brought up so much more fur and dirt than I thought possible.
They must have improved quite a bit then.
We had a Dyson years ago and when it finally packed in we replaced it with a cheap Samsung upright – think it was about £100. Admittedly, it looks like it was conceived in a old folks home – insipid blue, rather than bright purple and yellow….
But, the first time we used it, the colour of our living room carpet changed as we were using it and it filled up the dust catcher bit amazingly quickly. It was picking up tons of dirt, hair and dust that the Dyson hadn’t made any impression on.
We’ve had it for at least 5 years now with no problems and it’s regularly used for hoovering out the car as well as cleaning up after DIY tasks – admittedly, I was a bit concerned how it would fare when hoovering up all the plaster rubble and dust from my last endeavour but it was fine after a filter clean.
It’s also lighter than the Dyson, so easier to lug up the stairs.
Not sure I could justify spending >3x the cost of this one on a Dyson again, given that it works better and is lasting well. The only thing the Dyson did better was look nicer.
