Dyson DC39 Multi Floor Canister Vacuum Cleaner - Clearance

The Dyson canister with the tangle free turbine attachment is the first after thousands of dollars and hours with scissors, box cutters, and dissassembly that works to remove hair from my carpets. I NEVER have to stop and clean the tangle free attachment. For the first time I can do the entire house unless the canister gets full.I tried and still have a brand new Oreck upright, a new Eureka Pet Lovers upright with power paw attachments, a Hoover, two stick vacuums and a $800 Dyson upright. After two or three passes the uprights all stop steering and I have to pick them up and move them over. I have a joint problems so my shoulders, elbows, wrists, back, and hands can't keep up with this. The inability to steer is infuriating.My home helper was less diligent than I about cleaning the beater bars so she caused more damage to the carpets with melted rubber and fringe damage to the Persian rugs because she wouldn't pick it up to steer. I finally resorted to brushing the entire house with a hand held dog brush on my hands and knees before vacuuming myself which was exhausting and only moderately helpful. Since I am disabed this got more and more impossible. My helper would put it off so long that the floors were always filthy especially when the dogs shed. My helper still had to disassemble the vacuums two or three times and she was not happy about brushing rugs. Rug rakes did not help. Daily vacuuming was out of the question. It wasn't a buildup problem but tangle melt combo of my hair and dog hair.Something about my foot long hair and Golden hair combines to tangle around the beater bar and burn or break the belts. This results in melted rubber on expemsive area rugs. Or hair encases the beater bar and actually melts into the bearings or axle on the edges permanently freezing the beater bar. My uprights did not have room for cutting tools on the axles. So cutting the hair away numerous times doesn't work since the hair wraps around the bearings and completely cocooned the brush. I have to take all of the vacuums completely apart. No vacuum is designed for this so involve removing several very difficult screws several times to do one room. The Pet Lovers power paw hose attachment was worthless lasting only a month at $70 a piece. Even completely clean neither works because the disassembly broke the air seal that drives the beater bar. Screws on most of these vacuums are too soft to use this frequently so most strip or the heads are destroyed quickly.My only hope is that Dyson makes a wider tangle free attachment. This one must be designed for upholstery since it is hand tool narrow. I am so thankful not to have to crawl around my house. I never owned a canister vac so was very pleased at the steer ability of the Dyson ball, both canister and wand and how light and easy this vacuum is to use. Dyson is correct, even with a canister full of Golden hair it never loses suction. This is very surprising for a bagless vacuum. I wasn't super impressed with the $800 upright Dyson for the price. This canister is well worth the extra dollars. I did not like the auto height adjustment on any upright I tried. The auto height on the Dyson canister is perfect.My only negative comment is that small rugs are almost sucked into the vacuum. I discovered using the smallest flat hand tool at a very high angle, so that much of the suction is rendered incomplete, makes is easy to vacuum small rugs without standing on them. Even at a fraction of total suction my bathroom and kitchen rugs are hairless when I'm done. Much of my current house is tile and this Dyson sucks dog hair from feet away. So I don't need to crawl into each corner or even vacuum alll of the tile. Awesome.

Great vacuum! I bought this vacuum in 2012 it's now 2024 and it's still going strong. The dc39 is an excellent vacuum with tons of suction easy to clean and a great filter my cleaning people love it and I love it easy to maneuver easy to clean and it's a workhorse.

An upright didn't really work for all of the surfaces around my house. Attached hoses are basically inconvenient to use switching from carpet, to hardwood floors, to stairs, to dusting. (Really missed my ancient Electrolux canister vac after it finally gave up after several repairs.) Wanted another canister.This vacuum does it all! Expected it to do well on hard surfaces, but it also is great on carpets. Wondered about how much capacity the dirt container would hold and was quite surprised at how much debris it picked up before needing to be (easily) emptied. Have three cats and live in the country and will admit that vacuuming is not my favorite chore, so that is a LOT of stuff!The included floor tool swivels in all directions and goes almost flat to make getting under furniture so easy. The small firm attachment does an excellent job sucking up cat hair from furniture. It is light, follows like a devoted pet, the hose and cord are long enough. Now I need to find a perfect name for it. Absolutely recommend this vacuum cleaner!If there was one additional tool to recommend, it would be the Articulating Hard Floor Tool. Worth it if one has lots of non carpet flooring.

I am a fan of Dyson, or at least I used to be. I used to own a D21 and a D23 before I moved countries. They were amazing, low and easy maintenance, and well thought out.This new model of stowaway vacuum cleaner is getting all the important things wrong. It doesn't matter if if turns better and looks like something from Star Trek if all the rest is not ergonomic or functional. These are the most salient issues noted after one month of use:- Impossible to store efficiently in a closet, you can't wrap the flexible tube around the body. Even worse, the little clip designed to fasten the brush to the body and hold the rod upright is IMPOSSIBLE to use compared to prior models. Its as if they didn't actually test the feature in their prototype lab. In short this vacuum cleaner takes up much more storage space that it should.- Design of the canister is much worse than before. It's difficult to dump the dust into a plastic bag without getting some everywhere with the way the bottom opens out. And since you can't completely take off the outer clear plastic anymore, it's difficult to get rid of dust bunnies and hairs that get stuck in the mesh at the first stage of filtration.- Trigger feature on the handle to turn the rotating brush on and off only works well about 50% of the time.- New airflow design of the rotary brush is much louder than before and makes a very annoying hissing sound when the brush is not turning.- Included small accessory brush has been integrated to the end of the flat tube accessory, which makes it much less practical to use than a simple brush at the end of a flexible tube. Worse, the brush bristles are too soft, such that they get sucked into the tube as soon as you start brushing around! Again, where were the product testers?
