Product Description
Apartment dwellers, go for the ball!
With its convenient, collapsible handle for closet storage, the Dyson DC24 Ball Upright is the lightest and most compact vacuum in Dyson's line-up. This vacuum model is based upon the successful ?Ball? design which allows the head and base off the vacuum to pivot and turn with a twist of the wrist. The design allows the vacuum to easily maneuver around furniture and tight spaces with ease. As such, it is excellent for cleaning all floors with the grace and aplomb of a ballet dancer. It has a lifetime HEPA filter. There are no bags to replace. An extending wand cleans drapes, upholstery, and more.
When and where storage space is prime and closets are already crammed, this 12-pound Dyson offers a collapsible handle. It's an upright that fits into really small spaces.

To start with, I really wanted to like this vacuum.
I needed something light and efficient and did my online research, so this seemed to be the right king for me. It wasn't even that expensive compared to all other lightweight quality vacuums.
So, I have a 3 story house, mix of hardwood and few rugs. It seemed to work ok at the beginning, I wasn't blown away by the suction power or by the amount of dirt it collects, I guess I do clean my house on regular bases), but it was doing the job until the brush simply stopped working. So ok, this was my first cleaning and there is no reason that something like that would happen. The brush eventually started on again, but for fear that this will happen again very soon, I am returning it.
Other impressions - it does move very easily and it is very light. The container for dirt is small - very, you do have to pull stuff out of it - it doesn't really shake of like on TV and the cord is short. It is loud. On top of all that it feels extremely cheaply made and I do believe that the plastic will start breaking if not right away in a couple of years.
I am giving it one star because it does indeed work, but I am pretty sure you can achieve the same result with something that cost $ 50, not $500.
 Best household investment August 15, 2008

It took me a long time to find a vacuum that suited my needs.
I wanted a vacuum with power to pick up the dog fur deposit by my terrier, but needed it to be easy on my delicate rugs. I also wanted one that was fairly light and compact enough to not take up a lot of room in my apartment.
After a lot of research I found the Dyson line of Vacuums, but stalled on ordering because they seemed too big for my apartment.
I'm glad I waited. The new DC24 Ball is the perfect vacuum for all my needs.
After my first cleaning with this machine, I was so proud of my purchase.
It is worth every penny.
Now my home finally feels really CLEAN!!!!

I am in love with this vacuum! I was debating between the 24 and 25, and am so glad I went with this one. I chose it initially for its light weight. I have a herniated disk and our old, heavy vacuum would throw my back out every time I used it. The difference in weight and manueverability is amazing. Why didn't someone invent this ball thing decades ago?? The first time I used it, I wondered about its capability because it was so light and quiet (another HUGE plus - you don't need earplugs). But when I went to empty the tank and found a 3rd cat (we only have 2), I was convinced of its power. Love the handle that lowers too, because it takes up so much less storage space. Love its small size compared to most other vacuums. I can get under furniture without having to move stuff around, like dining room chairs. It fits into our tiny bathrooms and gets really close to corners and baseboards. My house is about 1200 sq ft, and mostly carpeted and I do have pets. This vacuum is everything I need, and would recommend it to anyone.
 Disappointing directions and lack of accessories available. August 1, 2008

The directions were very poor. It appeared that there were 2 hoses. In reality, they showed 1 hose in 2 positions. The same was true with releasing the power brush. I called about a floor attachment and someone was to email in 48 hours, but I never heard anything. Evidently they do not have a floor attachment or duster for this product yet. I was disappointed, because I had done a lot of research and felt this was the best product!!

I love the idea of the ball and it is a breeze to push around and use. Dyson has reworked the hose so that it is easy to pull out for attatchments. Be aware that there is a DC24 and a DC25, which I didn't know. I ended up getting the 24, which, for my big spaces, this vacuum is just a little small. The canister is much smaller than their other machines and I had come to expect more power from it. This smaller version also has a shorter cord length.
For most homes I'm sure the cord length and canister size would be fine on the 24, but I wish I had been more attentive and chosen the DC25 instead. I am probably going to end up purchasing a DC14 again and use this one on one level of the house.
