Our final test for carpeting involved pet hair. We worked some pet hair into the carpet fibers and then ran over them with our Dyson DC26. The pet hair was removed easily.

Using our decibel reader, we measured how loud this machine was with both the turbine brush on and off. In both situations, the Dyson City was just above 75 decibels. An average vacuum is 80 decibels, so the DC26 is definitely not a loud vacuum cleaner. Maintenance Next-day scheduled delivery may not be available during peak times. Instead, you can choose the next available slot. We apologise for any inconvenience. Cordless vacuums have improved significantly in recent years and many models are now capable of providing equivalent levels of cleaning performance to corded vacuums.

Most inquiries are handled within two hours or less Some people think that because it’s a bagless machine, all they have to do is empty the dust bin and they are good to go. Wrong! For both carpets and hard floors, the edges were cleaned up easily with the Dyson City. You won’t even have to get out the crevice tool to make sure the edges and corners of your floor are clean. Who should buy this machine? If you have a smaller place with hard floors and short pile carpet, this Dyson is meant for you. Actually, if you have a smaller place and are allergic to pet dander, dust, or pollen, this vacuum is perfect.

Our most powerful, lightweight cordless vacuum with De-tangling technology and single-button power control. The Dyson DC26 City did surprisingly well in all of our tests. It might be small, but there aren’t many messes that can’t be cleaned effectively with the DC26. Some of the highlights of this machine include how well it did with small particles on short pile carpeting. It also does a fabulous job on hard surfaces no matter what sized particle you have to clean up. It comes with four attachments, all of which are very useful. It also has an automatic cord rewind and this is always fun to push to retract the cord when you’re done cleaning. One negative aspect of the Dyson DC26 is the shorter cord length. This factors into the maneuverability because at only 16.5 feet long, we often would inadvertently pull the cord out as we were cleaning a room. Wrap the cord properly: To avoid damaging the cord, wrap it properly around the cord hooks or cord wrap on the vacuum. Don't wrap it too tightly, as this can damage the cord or strain the electrical connections.On the positive side, the Dyson DC26 articulating tool is a lot wider than the turbine brush. Even for such a small canister vacuum, it can clean a large area of hard flooring in a minimal amount of time. Edge Cleaning When it comes to storing your vacuum cleaner, there are a few things to keep in mind to help keep it in good condition and ready to use when you need it. This also means it won’t do as great of a job on medium to long pile carpets. The brush bar simply doesn’t dig in deep enough with its carbon fiber bristles.
