Boasting a HEPA filtration system, it did a wonderful job of removing and retaining dust and allergens from the air as it cleans. It also has an automatic cord rewind and this is always fun to push to retract the cord when you’re done cleaning. Even for such a small canister vacuum, it can clean a large area of hard flooring in a minimal amount of time. We tested the claim that the Dyson City had a HEPA level filtration system with our airborne laser particle scanner. The powerful suction of the small canister gets the debris no matter if you vacuum head on or you pass by the side of the wall with the edge of the brush.

This tool has an air driven brush bar, which is ideal for roughing up the carpet to loosen and suck up dust.They do take some getting used to, but there are some inherent advantages to this Dyson City’s lightweight canister design. Two large rear wheels and a single castor wheel at the front of the vacuum glide smoothly across the floor.

There are two very small tabs that you have to unlock (try using a flat head screwdriver or we used a coin for this step). The Dyson patented filtration system works extremely well provided you clean out your filters once a month.It also is versatile enough to clean hard floors and short pile carpeting efficiently and effectively. You will have to grab the bottom part and lift it up away from the dust bin to totally empty out all the evil things you sucked up. The large chunks of Oreo cookies and the crushed flakes of cereal were cleaned up with only a few passes. We liked how well this canister did on rugs, so long as the rugs aren’t thicker pile for the reasons we have stated in the carpeting section.
