Tangle-Free Turbine ToolThe only turbine tool that doesn’t tangle. Counter-rotating heads with brushes remove pet hair from carpets and upholstery. The heads are positioned so that the brushes reach to the front and sides of the tool – drawing hair and dirt in from all directions. The articulating base plate ensures that the brushes remain in constant contact with a surface. |
Up Top ToolTwists into different positions and angles for easy high-reach cleaning. Gently removes dust and allergens- fine nylon bristles gently remove dust from areas that would be awkward to clean with the soft dusting brush. Felt strip protects delicate surfaces. |
Soft Dusting BrushSoft bristles gently remove dust and allergens from flat surfaces and furniture. Vacuum-assisted dusting around the home. A felt strip protects delicate surfaces. Distributes suction power evenly. |
Reach Under ToolExtends, bends and twists to remove dust and allergens from awkward spaces. Includes nylon brush head for larger debris. Inlets across the tool head help to prevent larger debris from restricting suction. Paddle head design has a low provide for accessing tight spaces. The flexible rubber extension hose bends around obstructions. |

---|---|---|
Stiff Bristle BrushWith stiff bristles for removing mud and dried-in dirt. Bristles agitate carpet pile to dislodge stubborn and ground-in dirt. The bristles are angled to create a flicking action as they work through carpet pile- popping up dirt into the airflow, where it is sucked away. Engineered to be easier to push. Tough and durable- made from polypropylene for strength. |
2-in-1 Combination Tool + Stair ToolThe combination tool offers smooth bristles with a powerful crevice tool that is perfect for cleaning in any setting. The Stair Tool has velour strips to pick up hairs, an agitating edge to lift carpet pile, and airflow bleed holes to stop the tool sticking to upholstery. |
Mattress ToolRemoves dirt and allergens from mattresses and upholstery. Lint pickers on the front and back edges gather, ball and release fibers into the airflow, where they are sucked away. It is engineered to be easier to push and it distributes suction power evenly across the tool. |

Customers like the performance of the vacuum cleaner. They say it has excellent suction and picks up pet hair with the best of them. The roller brush is great on pet hair, and the upholstery attachment is great as well. It does both carpets and bare floors equally well.

"...The pet hair attachment is particularly good. The receptacle for the dirt and dust pops off very easily to empty in no time at all...." Read more
"...This puppy did a great job on the carpet...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it's worth the price, and is an excellent investment. However, others say that it is really expensive, and not worth $500. The cord appears flimsy and cheap, and it'd not be a great choice for regular, whole house cleaning.

"...I am a lazy bum and often don't clean my filters...EVER, but these are so easy, I have no problem doing it the recommended every 3 months...." Read more

"...Assembly was a cinch if you follow the instructions which are pictograms with numbers indicating the order of the step...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the maneuverability of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it is easy to maneuver, and the mini turbine tool makes it a breeze to glide around. However, others say that it's a bit harder to push around than the old Dyson, the ball slides a little on hard surfaces, and it makes it very difficult to carry the vacuum by the handle alone.
"...Maneuverability: Pro: The ball design make it easy to push around. Cleans right to wall.Retractable pole helps dusting high and low...." Read more
"...It has more suction and is more maneuverable than either my shop vac or the Hoover upright it replaced, the cleaning attachments clean better, it..." Read more
"...Does it have suction, Yes but it doesn't hug the floor, does'nt go under beds and I vacuumed some fake snow that fell from my Christmas tree and it..." Read more
"...but the lifting handle is centrally located, so moving it actually seems a bit easier, maybe I should have put this one under Pros......" Read more
Customers are mixed about the weight of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention it's very light, while others say it seems heavy and harder to manipulate. Some say the whole thing together is a thin piece of plastic, and it'll be a little heavier to pull back on than the old one. Overall, opinions are mixed.
"...Now not everything is perfect. The plastic seems significantly thinner. The dirt bin seems much more delicate than the 25...." Read more
"...Feature wise, I really like the long, heavy cord as well...." Read more
"...-It is small, but sort of heavy. Fits nicely in my closet and takes up half the space of my old Hoover...." Read more
"...And, the DC40 is much, much lighter...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the appearance of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it improves the appearance and cleanliness of the carpet, while others say that it feels cheap, has a pitiful ergonomic design, and the engineering of this product is incredibly poor.
"...Complete package and they are useful, but the design of the machine limits that usefulness. All of the attachments click into the end of a 2½ ft...." Read more
"...suction, the Miele seems to rake the carpet nap and improve the appearance of the carpet...." Read more
"...it very difficult to carry the vacuum by the handle alone and just feels cheap, which is uncharacteristic of the price tag...." Read more
"...Its a little heavy, and can be a tad awkward but its worth it for the amazing job it does, even a couple years later. But the hose... :..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First, I’m a working guy, not a housewife. I tend to put off cleaning until it things are visibly dusty or dirty. I have a small dog that sheds a lot and live in a very dusty part of a dusty city, Phoenix, AZ. There is farming, construction, and a mine that extracts dirt for landscaping nearby, all raising dust. The heavy duty Eureka upright seemed to do the job on the wall-to-wall carpet throughout the house, but couldn’t get the dog hair off either the shag area rugs or one with very low pile. The carpet downstairs was commercially cleaned six weeks ago and last vacuumed a week ago. After assembling the Dyson D65 yesterday, I vacuumed the living room and dining area. It sucked up so much dog hair and dust that I had to empty the bin after just those two areas. Clearly, the old vac wasn’t performing as well as I thought. What the Eureka commercial vac has going for it though, despite costing almost two thirds less, is durability. It has sturdy metal parts and the brushes in the bar are even replaceable. Unfortunately it doesn’t clean as well as the Dyson, which is plastic and certainly doesn’t feel like it’s made to stand up to heavy use. I also had other problems with the Eureka upright. Small stones get tracked in from the decorative gravel in my yard. They cut up the rubber belt driving the beater bar and I had to replace it frequently. I don’t know yet how the Dyson will handle these.
The Eureka upright doesn’t have a setting for bare floors or any cleaning attachments. The Dyson D65 has both. A convenient button shuts off the beater bar motor. I found the Dyson did an excellent job on ceramic tile. The Eureka also has no attachments. That is why I kept the old canister vac and purchased a hand held one. The Dyson has useful attachments, but I have some reservations. One attachment included in the Animal Complete version, the Tangle-free Turbine tool, works spectacularly well. It did a better job of getting dog hair off the couch than anything I’ve tried. My dog also likes to sit on the stairs, where he can look out at the street. I used the turbine tool there as well and it did a great job on the carpet. This will let me get rid of my hated hand-held, which is so loud I have to wear ear plugs to prevent hearing loss. Three other specialty brushes come in the Animal Complete package and they are useful, but the design of the machine limits that usefulness. All of the attachments click into the end of a 2½ ft. long pole that pulls out of a flexible hose. This is great for reaching down to baseboards or up to ceiling fans. However there is no way to remove the pole and connect directly to the end of the flexible hose. This makes dusting things like table tops or dusting in tight spaces very clumsy. Also, when extending the hose you are pulling against the Dyson’s considerable suction power. The hose extends quite a ways. I was able to vacuum a flight of ten stairs with the machine at the bottom. However, I had to exert quite a bit of strength to do it. You will also be pulling the vacuum cleaner along with you until it runs into something to stop it. And, not all the tools are as useful as the turbine tool.
The dusting brushes included in the Animal Complete package have splayed one inch bristles. There is nothing like the round brush with lots of long soft bristles that comes with many vacs and is widely available aftermarket. These are great for dusting complex surfaces and the standard ones don’t fit the Dyson’s proprietary assembly system. There is also no way to control the amount of suction. Every canister vacuum I’ve seen has an adjustable vent on the handle that can be opened to lessen the suction power. This is really useful when dusting around delicate items or stacks of papers. I try to do most of my dusting with the vac to cut down on allergy problems. So, it looks like the old canister vacuum will have to stick around. There are also two more tools that clip directly onto the body of the D65. One is a small brushless head I haven’t used yet. The other is a combination brush and crevice tool. The brush slides up and down the crevice tool. This is clever, but it also keeps the crevice tool from being inserted more than couple of inches into any narrow area. The whole point of a crevice tool is to get into, under, and behind things. This is another reason to keep the canister vac — and there is one more. Another place my dog likes to hang out is under beds. The Eureka commercial upright could get under a standard bed frame. The Dyson’s bulky ball and collection canister keep it from going under anything much lower than a dining table.
Here’s a list of pros and cons:
Cleaning power: This really is pretty spectacular; there is no con here.
Maneuverability: Pro: The ball design make it easy to push around. Cleans right to wall.
Retractable pole helps dusting high and low.
Con: Can’t go under furniture. Retractable pole makes much dusting clumsy.
Cord: Pro: 35 ft. long cord gives good range of travel.
Con: Cord comes out half way up handle and tends to get caught on the small
balance wheels unless you hold it. My carpet cleaning machine has a small clip
high on the handle to take the cord. That would help here. A machine this expensive should really have a retractable cord. Not only do you have to wind the cord, but the lower cleat is near the floor so you have to bend way over with every loop.
Materials: Pro: Since it’s new I’ll give Dyson the benefit of the doubt and say these light
weight plastic parts will hold up under household use. However, if a less
established firm had introduced this, critics would be all over how flimsy it feels. Con: In Arizona’s dry climate the plastic has already developed a static electric charge and attracts dust and dog hair.
Design style: Pro: You’d recognize this as a pricey Dyson from 100 yards away.
Con: My background is in design and while some people love the design of Dyson’s vacuums, I’m not one of them. Dyson’s most recent designs, the fan,
heater, humidifier, and various hand dryers have an elegant simplicity which is the complete antithesis of the vacuum cleaners. Not only do I find the machine quite ugly, its numerous indentations and complex shapes are going to be a problem. I don’t have a closet for it. I’ll keep it in the laundry room and it will get dusty. Its design means it can’t just be wiped clean. There will always be pockets of dirt.
The new DC65 I think will get a MUCH higher rating. Its easy to use. The tools are great, and it really cleans carpet. I vacuumed and carpet cleaned yesterday. The carpets were as clean as I could get them. They looked close to new. The DC65 came and I tried it out. I filled half or so of the bin with fine dust and other stuff... A lot of this probably came from the edges which as everyone else says this vacuum cleans very well. But the fine dust probably came from the bulk of the carpet. The vacuum is also much easier to maneuver than the DC25 though the suction can be so strong that it does not turn easily. A good problem to have. The DC25 also never had a problem picking up stray "big" objects that would stop the brush. It would simply push them around. The DC65 tries to suck up socks or anything else that gets near. I stopped the brush more times in one vacuuming than I had in years. Again good problem to have and mostly my fault. I am just used to not being able to pick-up anything. FYI this is not from dirty filters on the 25. I cleaned them often since new and it never had great suction.
Now not everything is perfect. The plastic seems significantly thinner. The dirt bin seems much more delicate than the 25. Infact the whole machine seems cheaper. The motors however I'm sure added significantly to the cost of construction. It is a heavy machine and so the metal must be in there. It is just not on the outside. Time will tell... It might be the 25 was way over designed on the plastic and way under designed for suction. I always thought there motto of never losing suction was kind of stupid because you need to have some to lose it. The DC 65 has a lot. I thought of a Meile but the cost of the bags and filters turned me off. I think the DC65 is the best vacuum for the money if it lasts more than 5 years. I also think consumer reports will find this vacuum does one important thing... It cleans.
One last thought... It was much quieter than I thought it would be. Its not whisper quiet but not the jet engine I thought it might be. I would buy this vacuum again, and plan a long relationship if it holds up. Its a whole new world a dyson vacuum that I like and that actually cleans.
