For most people the act of housecleaning isn't an automatic (or positive) behavior. It is, nonetheless, necessary. So you want it to be as efficient and as easy as possible. Say hello to the Dyson DC21 Stowaway Bagless CanisterVacuum Cleaner. It may even change the way you feel about cleaning your home.
Using its patented Root Cyclone Technology the Dyson DC21 actually separates dirt from air. Because it doesn't rely on bags or conventional filters, the end result is remarkable suction that thoroughly cleans nearly any carpet and surface in your home, and significantly reduces the amount of bacteria and mould you breathe. The wide 12.5 inch cleaning path picks up more dirt and dust, and a large debris channel allows larger pieces to be filtered in the canister. A versatile brush control function can be adjusted to protect delicate carpeting or thoroughly cleans hardwood and vinyl flooring, and the 12 foot hose with several handy attachments makes it easy to vacuum harder-to-reach places where dust and dirt accumulate. A user-friendly design allows the DC21 to maneuver around your furniture with the slightest turn of the wrist while the automatically retracting 16.4 foot power cord gives you extended reach and better access in every area of your home. Clean-up is a snap - with the hygienic and easy-to-empty bin. Finally, the washable filters are easy to clean and never need replacing. |

 A very powerful vacuum cleaner - but it's expensive |

I recently purchased the Dyson DC21 canister vacuum cleaner, and at first I was a little apprehensive of purchasing it (mainly due to the very high price of the item of $499), but after using the vacuum my apprehensions are now alleviated. This vacuum can suck the dirt and dust out of a carpet as if it was powered by the gravitational force of a black hole, yet it doesn't require significant force by the user to utilize the vacuum. I couldn't believe how much dirt and dust this vacuum removed from a "recently cleaned" carpet in a new house we moved into, it was as if the carpet was never really cleaned before.
Also, the product lives up to it claim of cleaning the air while you vacuum, as I'd always have allergic reactions after using my old Dirt Devil upright vacuum. Also, I would have thought the vacuum for as powerful as it advertised it was going to be, it was going to be as loud as a jet engine; however, it was much less noisy than my old Dirt Devil upright (which you could hear clearly outside of the house whenever it was used). Overall, the Dyson DC21 is a very good vacuum cleaner but it's not inexpensive; however, just like the old saying goes, you'll get exactly what you pay for.

After using this vacuum now for a couple of months here's what I like, and dislike about it.
Pros:
1. Very powerful vacuum (I'm sure that there may be other vacuum's more powerful, but I haven't seen them yet - but the selling point is suction of dirt, not raw power of the motor).
2. The dust canister is very easy to empty and clean
3. The HEPA filter is very easy to clean, and the vacuum filters out all of its discharged air.
4. Long warranty - Five years.
5. Not as loud as some vacuums that I've used in the past.
Cons:
1. The price - prohibitively expensive for most people's budget. This is definitely a pricing decision you'd want to consult with your spouse before you run out and buy it.
2. Tendency to pull carpet fibers due to its suction power. Doesn't happen a lot, but enough to make you wonder about the quality of the carpet your vacuuming.
3. Owner's manual is like reading an assembly manual for a desk from IKEA - plenty of pictures, but very few words.
4. A little bulky for most closets where you might store the vacuum.
5. The power cord isn't very long. Good for small rooms, but a real hassle if you plan to clean the entire house. Invest in an extension cable.
6. The flex hose can get into a kink somewhat easily if vacuuming around tight corners and kill any suction needed to do the job.
I'm sure that there's more nit-picks I could mention, but this is more than enough. |
I love my DYSON DC 21 Stowaway Vacuum.

| This vacuum has great suction. This is not the first DYSON I bought I also bought the DC 07 but I love my DC 21 much better. The DC 21 got in the tightest corners which I could not reach before using my upright vacuum. The only thing I would recommend Mr. Dyson should do is have a good instruction book. None came with the vacuum except for a start up guide which wasn't much help. Other than that the vacuum is the best canister that I've used. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 10. |
Sounds sick, but I actually enjoyed vacuuming today

I have to agree with whoever called the Dyson 21's power like a black hole. I, too, vacuumed my recently cleaned home, and collected 4 times as much dust and fur than I ever got with the previous vacuum. I'm in a small RV, which has cloth walls and ceiling as well, and the accessories with this vacuum will help keep the Himalayan cat fur off of everything.
I was surprised at how quietly it runs.
My RV is quite small, so storing this unit is a challenge. I didn't wrap the hose around and hang the carpet tool. Things are tucked away here and there. Since the parts are easy to reattach, this isn't a problem.
I was pleased to see that the wand doesn't have to be extended to use the accessories.
The dirt container was very easy and clean to empty.
I've used this vacuum only once, since it arrived just today. Hope it continues to do such a good job for years. I'm looking forward to doing a little more cleaning tomorrow. (I know - get a life.) |

| We can't say enough great things about this fine vacuum. We bought it mainly for our Vintage Airstream. We travel with 3 kitties and the small upright we have been using looses suction as soon as kitty hair clogged the bagless bin, which would be about ½ way through the trailer. So we took our new Dyson in there and was shocked - like the other folks - what it picked up - the bin was full of dirt and kitty hair and we had just vacuumed it with our former vacuum! So then we took it into the house and had the same experience. Now my wife wants to use it instead of our wind tunnel. Everything in this monster is well thought out and it is very easy to take apart and put back together. Winding it up is no big chore. We thought a lot about putting this much money in a vacuum, but now am glad we did. We were considering re-carpeting the house, but now the wall to wall rugs look great with new life given by our Dyson. Our house is 3600 sq ft so we figure the Dyson saved us several thousand dollars. A big thank you to Mr. Dyson and all the folks who worked on this project! |
