Dyson engineers are continuously challenging existing products and developing new technologies to make them work better. DC24 All floors features Dyson Ball™ technology so the vacuum sits on a ball, allowing you to maneuver around furniture with a turn of the wrist. With patented Root Cyclone™ technology, DC24 All floors doesn’t lose suction as you vacuum. Dyson proves no loss of suction using the IEC 60312 Cl 2.9 test standard. The vacuum has concentrated technology which means it has all the performance of a Dyson upright and is only 2/3 the size. DC24 All floors is ultra-lightweight and compact; it weighs less than 12 lbs and the wand compresses for easy storage. A reversible wand allows you to clean awkward areas with the onboard accessory tool. Parts and labor are guaranteed by Dyson for 5 years.

User Reviews about Dyson DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

We live in a not so big house on 3 stories where closet space is at a premium and a vacuum has lots of obstacles to maneuver around. We've also got three kids and a cat. For us this Dyson has been a great balance of cleaning power and usability. We looked at the bigger, cheaper standups from Hoover and Kenmore (and even Dyson) but opted against lugging and storing these bigger and heavier machines. What we love... it's very light, compact and easy to store. It's very nimble. The whole ball idea means it really does turn on a dime, super useful we have relatively limited wide open spaces and plenty of furniture to move with a bigger vacuum. Suction is way stronger than our previous vac (a 10 year old Hoover) and does a good job on all the cat hair. Guessing the bigger standups might be a little stronger in this area but tradeoff just not worth it for us. I didn't really care much about the bag vs. bagless thing but the bagless dust collector on this Dyson is pretty handy. Pops off easily and dumps it's cargo in your trash can without much fuss. The overhead/hose assembly seems fine (just one accessory head) though so far we don't use it much. All in all we're very happy, and hoping for a good durability story as well over the years, even though it does have a lifetime warranty. -- Great strength vs. ease-of-use balance

This vacuum looks very slick and is fairly easy to maneuver. Its smaller size makes it easier to store. The bagless aspect is also convenient. However, it does have a couple of problems. the entire vacuum is made of plastic. There have been a few times where I've been worried it would break or crack. The button to control the main carpet brush often sticks and does not work properly. An additional fault is the overall weak suction of the unit. It generally gets the job done, but may take a few passes and cannot pick up midsized items such as cat food. I would not recommend paying full price as in typical Dyson fashion this machine costs about twice what it should. -- Some flaws

A few weeks ago, I would have sworn that I would never own a Dyson, mostly because of the cost. However, as I started analyzing exactly what my needs were, I realized that the DC24 fits my needs the best. I was basically looking for a stick vacuum, but with more power and better filtration. I think Dyson pulled way ahead of the competition when they developed the ball technology and for me they perfected it with the small DC24.

This vacuum is almost perfect for our house which is approximately 1800 square feet with hard wood floors, some rugs and some places that are a bit tight for a full size vacuum. It has enough suction to EASILY clean the dog hair off of the rugs but not so much that it grabs and moves the small rugs (which can be aggravating with a larger vac). Based on some of the reviews here, I thought that I would have a problem with the smaller rugs, but I don't.

The exhaust exits through the vents on the ball and I was a little concerned that the exhaust might blow the dog hair around on the hardwood floor making it difficult to catch, but fortunately, that is NOT a problem.

Now for the reasons that I didn't give it five stars:

1. The handle really should lock in place when it is down in the stowed position. I do not like the idea of using the dust bin handle to carry the entire vacuum even though it was apparently designed for that.

2. A couple of parts really are extremely fragile looking. They may hold up just fine ... maybe they are designed to bend rather than break.

I am not going to complain about the short hose because it is first and foremost, a compact vacuum cleaner. An extension hose can be bought for around 20 dollars.

If a full size vacuum cleaner is just too big, this is a great little one that gets the job done quickly and efficiently and really doesn't have any competitors as near as I can tell.

UPDATE AFTER A MONTH - MY wife and I LOVE this little guy. I am going to have to start getting to it quicker than her so I can use it. I am now a BIG Dyson fan.

Here is the Dyson difference in a nutshell. The multiple cyclones remove ALMOST EVERY LAST BIT of debris from the air. The filter in the top of the dirt bin is only there to catch the few dust particles that somehow escape the cyclones.

-- Great vacuum for the right situation with some minor flaws
