 So light to carry upstairs November 26, 2008
Dyson DC24 Allfloors - The Dyson Ball Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Iron Satin Yellow
Splendid machine, such a clever design, great manoeuvrability and suction (that must be comparable to a cylinder machine despite its compact size). Minor downside is that small cylinder obviously requires more frequent emptying but this not such as to be a problem in cleaning 5 bedrooms upstairs. The suction wand is also lighter and easier to use than on the larger upright Dyson that we also have. Improvements? Now if the upright section could go even flatter as to slide further under a bed...... All in all, I doubt if this machine can be bettered anywhere.
TOP BRITISH MACHINE November 15, 2008
Dyson DC24 Allfloors - The Dyson Ball Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Iron Satin Yellow
What a great little machine, compact, efficient, light, great design and styling. Have had Dysons for years and no problems so far. This machine really wins in the weight stakes, it's light and easily carried upstairs by myself and my wife. She loves it and it stows away much better than our our old machine.
Best of all it's British, showing we can still lead the world, in some things at least.
Mini marvel ! November 9, 2008
Like many houses we just don't seem to have enough storage, so rather than opt for the full size DC25 we bought the DC24. I am a Dyson sceptic & was ready to give this item a slating but it's brilliant & not just for small houses & flats. The build quality & design is great ~ it has 2 motors, one for the suction & a seperate one for the beater bar (which you can turn off). The cleaning performance is superior to our Henry + Panasonic & vax uprights, it's also quite quiet.Being smaller you will have to empty it more, a small price to pay for such convenience. Never before have the kids been so eager to do housework! Thoroughly recommended & not just for small properties.
 Dyson DC24 - very disappointing November 9, 2008

I bought this Dyson model DC24 a few months ago and I am very disappointed with it. Why?
1)Very short cable, have to use 13amp extension cable with it to reach end of 21ft room!
2)Very awkward to rig up the hose - turn it upside down etc. The old DC01 one just unhooked and was ready for use, not so this one!
3) No Crevice Tool included!
4) Difficult to steer, hard on the wrist - and when alongside the skirting it tries to climb up it and scratch the wallpaper!
5) The articulation of the axles etc is very awkward and takes several attempts to get into position
6) Sometimes when putting back to upright position it does not click in place and falls over!
7) The switch often has to be pressed several times to engage On/Off
Quite a big list eh?
Only good points is it is light and can clean hard floors!
 poor suction October 30, 2008

after having read the previous reviews on this model, i decided to buy it instead of the dc25 due to its size and weight.
unfortunatly i didnt check out the suction on it compared to the dc 25.
the dc 24 only has 100 airwatts suction compared to the 220 airwatts of the dc 25, which although it does pick up dirt/hairs, it doesnt do it at good as you would expect for nearly 200.
i have therefore returned it and am now ordering a dc25 as replacement.
