Product Description

Dyson’s DC26 Multi floor canister vacuum works like a full-size Dyson vacuum, but is a fraction of the size. It will fit on a standard letter size sheet of paper and weighs a mere 12.26 lbs. This makes the DC26 easy to carry and store when not in use. Features include a centralized motor, positioned to remove drag weight, and concentrated Root Cyclone™ Technology, Dyson’s patented technology that doesn’t lose suction power as you vacuum. Another feature of the DC26 is a conductive carbon fiber brush bar, with rows of ultra fine carbon filaments engineered to remove fine dust from hard floors such as wood. The turbinehead brushbar is air-driven and ideal for cleaning short pile carpet. This brush bar can be turned off for hard floors and delicate rugs. The DC26 Multi floor is suitable for every floor type- carpet, tile, vinyl or wood. The detachable handle allows tools to fit directly to the end of the hose, for cleaning in tight places, and the floor tool clicks into the back of the machine when not in use for easy storage. Included with the DC26 Multi floor is a stair tool and a combination brush/crevice tool. Also included is an articulating hard floor tool, which maneuvers easily and allows for simple cleaning in gaps and hard to reach spaces. Filter maintenance is simple with the easy access filter door, and the HEPA filter captures allergens and expels cleaner air. It’s clear bin is made of tough polycarbonate, and let’s you see when it needs emptying. The DC26 is hygienic because you simply push a button to release the dirt from the bin, and makes it quick to empty. The miniaturized cable rewind is smaller and lighter without compromising the 16 ft cord length. With washable filters and no bags to buy, there are no extra costs to owning to the DC26. The Dyson DC26 carries a 5 year warranty, parts and labor guaranteed by Dyson, and as with all Dyson vacuums, has no bag, and no loss of suction.

Awesome Vacuum For Small Homes!
By Bargain Lover
I read the previous review and decided to purchase this vacuum anyway. Before purchasing I looked at practically every vacuum on the market and if I lived in a slightly bigger home, I probably would purchase a Miele or bigger Dyson instead. As it is, I live in a VERY small condo that has practically no storage space and this has turned out to be THE ideal vacuum for me! I have hardwood floors, tile and carpet in my home so I LOVE the fact that I can use this machine on all three! My place is so small that I had been using a hand-held Dirt Devil vacuum for my carpet and a Swiffer for the hardwood floors and tile. I really wanted to get a canister vacuum to get under my couch, furniture, etc. but I needed to also have something that would be reasonably small to store. This vacuum has been perfect!
It is true that the vacuum does NOT leave "waves" on your carpet when you vacuum, but that is not a deal breaker for me. The vacuum is also rather expensive for what yo u get, but again, there is nothing else on the market that is this small and this powerful! One thing I would add is that once it is assembled, it is a bit bigger than you might expect because of the hose. I had to wrap the hose around the "stick" part to store it in the available space I have, but it fits perfectly!
As far as actual cleaning, it works great! I find it to be much quieter than the vacuum it replaced and it has TONS of suction. The exhaust is so strong that it slowly spun my ceiling fans around as I cleaned. Impressive power, indeed!
If you live in a very small home/space/condo, then I would say look no further! This is exactly what you want to buy! If you have a lot of space you may want something more powerful and/or cheaper. However, I'm very impressed by the performance and I LOVE the small size...nothing bigger would fit in my home!

Perfect for hard wood floors; so-so for carpets
By J. Morris
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.

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 o ne pivot point and thus probably are not maneuverable. I know my older canister isn't as easy to use.

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.

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.

It is pricey but has its benefits
By Mariya
I've done a lot of research before purchasing a vacuum. Considering this is called the "city vac", the vacuum is perfect for small apartments.

PROS:
-Its light! I cant lift a heavy vacuum.
-It fits in my small closet and doesnt take up much space.
-Not a hassle to setup. I vacuum at least twice a week b/c I have a baby that crawls.
-It picks up a lot of dust (#12 in HEPA; the highest you can get)
-The vacuum can reach under the bed and other narrow places- very impt!
-Can detach vacuum head and attach other accessories that are already provided.
-It is BAGLESS. So easy to clean out.
-Comes with a 5 year manufacturer's warrenty

CONS:
-The cord isn't the longest I've ever seen...it is annoying, but manageable for an apartment.
-Doesnt pick up bulky things (like cheerios) HUGE minus b/c I have to place the vacuum directly over it and wait for it to get picked up. Sometimes I just sweep the cheerios up be fore vacuuming.

I've had the vacuum for about a year now and after so much use, it is still in excellent shape. I was willing to pay the money for it b/c I dont plan on buying a vacuum annually.
