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 This little sensor sits behind the hose entry port, and was buried under dust. It feeds through the chassis and into it's mount 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 Managed to get the broken clip to turn home, so for now it's not a problem. If I can afford it on pay day and the machine deserves it I'll try and obtain a new door unit. It wont be the end of the world if it wont though, since the filter is shiney new On our second approach, instead of ramming right into the larger particles, we went a bit slower and the large pieces were removed from the carpet.

Dyson Red Button Tools: Two Sizes That Look the Same. CY22, CY23, Light Ball & Big Ball Adaptors Explained. Once again, we used white flour as a simulation of dust on the hard floor.

There are some design quirks that make the Dyson City a little frustrating to use. It does well in all of our performance tests, but it isn’t a perfect cleaning machine. The cord is too short, the dust bin is too small, and maintaining the DC26 can get a bit messy. Getting Started With the help of some fine particulates, a pile of white flour, we simulated how the Dyson DC26 does cleaning up dust. With a simple snap, you can pull down the upholstery attachment on the crevice tool. This is nice for dusting, or freshening up curtains. We tested the claim that the Dyson City had a HEPA level filtration system with our airborne laser particle scanner. Their claims are valid. Canisters are already much lighter in their operation compared to an upright, but this compact Dyson canister vacuum is a lightweight even in the canister world. Don’t let the small size fool you though.
