Dyson DC59 Motorhead review

The Dyson DC59 Motorhead has remarkable good looks and can practically pull the fibers out of your carpets, let alone the dirt. If only the battery lasted longer…

Despite the very limited runtime, the Dyson is real pleasure to use: Cleaning is actually fun with the Motorhead. If the company could find a way to triple the battery life, the DC59 Motorhead would be a marvel.

Dyson DC59 Animal review

Lightweight, a snap to maneuver and easy on the eyes, the cordless Dyson DC59 Animal is a surprising joy to use. It almost makes cleaning fun. Almost.

It’s hard not to fall in the love with the stalwart Dyson DC59 Animal. It feels good in the hand, it’s lightweight, and it’s easy to maneuver. And I even like the look of it. Perhaps its most impressive quality, however, is its power to clean. Dyson...

Dyson DC59 Motorhead

The Dyson DC59 Motorhead vacuum adds more floor-sweeping and upholstery-cleaning power to the performance offered by the slightly less expensive DC59 Animal.

More powerful motorized heads are even better at picking up dirt than before. Elegant, simple design. Lots of accessories.

Expensive. Dust receptacle is small. Less-than-stellar battery life.

Conclusion The Dyson DC59 Motorhead isn't perfect. Its battery doesn't last particularly long, and a few frustrating design elements hold it back. However, it's powerful, elegantly designed, and incredibly useful, and can easily become your main vacuum...

Dyson DC59 Animal

The Dyson DC59 Animal is a drop-dead-gorgeous cordless handheld vacuum cleaner that can clean your carpets and floors as well as an upright.

Lightweight. Useful for floors and corners. Plenty of accessories. Powerful for a cordless handheld vacuum. Floor cleaning head makes it as functional as an upright vacuum.

Expensive. Short battery life.

If you want an incredibly versatile, portable vacuum cleaner and can afford the Dyson premium, the DC59 Animal is for you. It switches between handheld and upright in a snap, picks up loads of dust, and has plenty of accessories and configurations for...

Dyson DC59 Review - Is This New Cordless Worth the Cost? - BestVacuumInfo.com

The Dyson DC59 is Dyson's newest, lightest cordless vacuum. At only 4.6 pounds, it weighs less than bag of flour, and with most of that weight residing toward your hand instead of the floor, it's easy to maneuver as well. Carpet vs. Wood Floors The...

Amazing at picking up animal hair on carpet, bare floor and upholstered surfaces;Cordless with a 26 minute run time;Major suction;Very lightweight at only 4.6 pounds

Like with any Dyson vacuum, this one is pricey. However, in most every review we’ve seen, buyers are really happy they made the purchase. With some searching online, you’ll also be able to find the best price on this particular model.

Dyson DC59 Motorhead is the Only Cordless Vac You’ll Ever Need

I love to vacuum, but over the years I have gone through my fair share of cordless vacuum cleaners and honestly, I haven't been all that impressed. In fact, most of the devices I have used frustrated me so much, that I just rather use my main vacuum...

Versatile, excellent lightweight design. Includes essential cleaning tools for corners and carpets. Works great on hard surfaces and carpeting. Offers better control over battery life. Great suctioning power

Pricey. Would still like the battery to last a little longer given the price

Review: Dyson DC59 Motorhead cordless vacuum

A review of my experience using the Dyson DC59 Motorhead cordless vacuum cleaner.

This is a marvel of engineering, but it's pricey and has a few issues that make me question whether it's worth that much money.

Dyson DC59 Motorhead review: Full-sized vacuum power in a 5-pound cordless

Dyson's cordless vacuums are the perfect solution for many people, even if they don't realize it. These vacuums have sufficient battery life to outlast your interest in cleaning, are versatile enough to use in all manner of scenarios, […]

The DC59 Animal was already the best cordless vacuum on the market, and the DC59 Motorhead is better. The Animal doesn’t have any particularly significant flaws, but the Motorhead’s additional suction power and motorized head pieces give it an edge on...
