Customer Reviews for Dyson DC26 Multi Floor Canister Vacuum

Dyson DC26 Multi Floor Canister Vacuum

Model: DC26
SKU: 1239799
UPC: 879957004917
This canister vacuum works like a full-size Dyson vacuum, but is a fraction of the size. The DC26 Multi floor is suitable for most floor types — carpet, tile, vinyl or wood. The centralized motor is positioned to remove drag weight, and as with all Dyson vacuums, the DC26 has no bag, and no loss of suction.

What's great about it: Light weight, easy to use
What's not so great: Price, dust cup small.
I live in a small house with tiles & wood floor, stair and some area rugs. This vacuum work just great in smaller area. I had a dog before but he is gone now I need to clean up all the dog hair. Even this vacuum is not the model made for remove pet hair, but it works just fine for what I need. I love it.

What's great about it: It does such a great job
What's not so great: Nothing, it is absolutely perfect.
I have been wanting a dyson for a very long time, I was finally able to get one last week. I am amazed at how great this little vacuum is. I thought that because it was smaller maybe I would loose some of the quality of the dyson, not true, its just as good. I have a 2yr old that leaves crumbs all over the place and my vacuum had broken almost 2 to 3 weeks earlier so my apartment was a mess. I brought my dyson home and was able to vaccum the entire apartment in one shot, I don't think my carpets looked so clean, and the air smelled fresh too.

What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: poor suction, cheap materials, broke down quickly, very expensive
I previously owned a Dyson upright vaccuum which I bought several years ago. I lost it in a flood. I wanted to replace it and decided to get the canister for it's ease of movement. It is made cheaply, lost suction quickly, filled too fast and shorted out after just a couple of months.

What's great about it: Size, light weight and great for stairs
What's not so great: Price. Dyson's are very expensive.
I already have a Dyson upright, but wanted a sweeper to do my stairs. The upright does have attlachments, but they are hard to use, not long enough to keep the sweeper downstairs and use the attachments to get to the top, so I have to drag it upstairs and it is heavy.
Anyway, I bought this sweeper just for my stairs & I love it! It is smaller and light weight and works well.

works very well - have other Dyson's, and they all work well - this one is light and easy to shift between attachments. the rather small pickup brush takes a little getting used to, but has advantages in that it gets into tight areas. and it isn't noisy, which is the usual problem with vacuum's.

What's great about it: small, light, easy to use, good for hard floors, carpet attachment, most attachments on stem
What's not so great: short power cable, no narrow crevice nozzle, carpet attachment has to be stored separately
Been trying to find the ideal vacuum, a bagless canister that works well on hard floors and rugs, convenient attachments which are easy to use.
This one very nearly hits the mark, see my comments below for misses. What it lacks in suction & attachments, it makes up for in convenience.

What's great about it: Retractable cord, light in weight, small
What's not so great: Short cord
We bought this Dyson after owning and Dyson uprigt for over 5 years. The original still works great, but we were looking for a canister vac that we can pull out quickly for small jobs. This vaccuum excedes our expectations and we find ourselves using it more than the upright since it is so light and easy to use. If you are looking to do a big job, I still prefer the upright with the wider path and bigger canister, but you can't beat the versatility of this small machine. We even take it outside to use in the car. The only thing I found that I don't like is it is very easy to turn the beater brush off accidentially.

What's great about it: Very powerful; fair price; best hair picker
I bought this vacuum 1 year ago. Of course I paid much more that current price))) However, this is the best vacuum I ever used!!! I am so happy that I did not refuse to pay significant amount to money for it! It worth!!!
The vacuum is so easy to use; also this specific model and its shape is perfect for me: I can reach everywhere, I do not need to move furniture anymore; no more shucked hair in the carpet...
If I need to buy the vacuum again, I would you buy only Dyson and this model especially!!!
Viva Dyson)))

I bought into the advertisements and took the plunge. Yes it has great suction but that is only great if the rest of the movable parts work just as well. They do not therefore this machine was a bad buy on my part.
