DC11 Dyson

Dc11 Dyson is a canister vacuum cleaner which is powered by a 220 continuous air watts + a turbine head type nozzle which according to Dyson uses an extra "tunnel" of air to avoid the common vacuum power "losings" among canisters (mostly due to the use of the wand) designs.

As usual the nozzle has rotating motorized brushes which can be turned on or off according to your needs. And as you can see the picture below you'll understand how little space this little (but powerful) machine really requires which is an added advantage from the user point of view.

Here are the main hardware specifications...

*. Has a durable and easily wrap-able telescopic wand.

*. Usually the HEPA filters that are called real good ones filter dust in 0.3 micron levels but the DC11 canister has filters that filter out dust, allergens, mites, etc at 0.1 micron level (the lower the number, better the filtration) and are washable also.

*. Has a larger dust cup (bag-less) which has a capacity of 0.5 Gallons. It is easy remove and empty (just a push of a button) and made out of ABS plastic which is more robust than the conventional ones.

*. Because of the wand and other tools it comes with not only the carpets, bare floors, etc but you can easily use it inside your car seats, etc as well.

*. When using on rugs, curtains or anything that is delicate make sure to use the suction release trigger which automatically reduces the vacuum suctions.

*. The wire cord (which is about 21.6 ft roughly) however feels a bit shorter when comparing with riccar vibrance or the bissell momentum where they come with 30 ft.

*. The rubber wheels will do the lowest possible damages and is smooth too.

*. Comes with a 2 year warranty period.

First of all you'll have to do a little assembly which is very simple by the way and won't take more than few minutes. The canister can also be removed when cleaning the machine itself.

As said the default wire cord is a bit short but you can easily fix it using an extension cable, so not a huge concern. The brush rolling on/off switch is sometimes feels like over sensitive, meaning that just a touch can turn on or off the machine.

It, as said before can be used on various types of surfaces and while using rugs, wood, tiles, piles it cleaned really well but on carpets the results aren't amazing but still not that bad either. The air driven brushes are powerful but they lack some that awesome power the dc33 animal delivers for instance.

Anyway, if you want a canister vac which takes a very little space while storing and lets you clean areas such as inside cars,vans and various other floor types but can cope with the shorter wire (+ the "decent" carpet cleaning results) then the DC11 Dyson can be recommended for you.
