Dyson DC26 Multi-Floor City Canister Vacuum Cleaner

<h2>Product Description</h2>


 

     
 
  The Dyson DC26 Multi Floor City is an ultra-lightweight bagless canister vacuum for all floor types. The DC26 City is Dyson's smallest, lightest canister, yet it works like a full-size Dyson machine, with no loss of suction. Ultra-fine carbon fiber brushes reduce static and remove dust from hard floors. Lifetime washable HEPA filter traps microscopic allergens.

My house has mostly hardwood floors, and I've been looking for the optimal vacuum for a long time. I've tried various cordless and corded vacuums but haven't been satisfied. The problem is that most vacuums have a rotating brush. The brush, when on, rotates very rapidly and causes undue wear on the wood finish, dulling the floor after a few months.  I imagine this would not be a problem with really hard floors like tile/stone. Some vacs allow the brush to be turned off, but then the cleaning is not as effective since the nozzle was designed to be used with the rotating brush.
<br/>
<br/>This leads me to what I love about the DC26, besides its small size and weight: the included "articulating hard floor" attachment. It's much wider than the standard head, and looks wider than most uprights. This attachment also has two pivot points on different axes, making it very easy to get in narrow spots and under furniture. Other canister vacuums' hard floor heads seem to have only one pivot point and thus probably are not maneuverable. I know my older canister isn't as easy to use.
<br/>
<br/>The downside of this vacuum is that it does not clean deep carpets very well because the rotating brush on the standard head is not adjustable and does not extend very far below the bezel. Since the rotating brush is powered by the air flow instead of electrically, I suppose a deeply extending brush might stall and affect the suction. I'll admit my older, much cheaper upright did a better job. On the other hand, I can easily see "waves" in my carpet, despite what the other reviewer said.
<br/>
<br/>One final note, which is expected given the small size and weight of this vacuum: the dust bin is VERY small. Thankfully, it's easy to empty, but expect to empty it often if you haven't kept up with cleaning.
