Dyson cylinder vacuum

When you are looking for a Dyson vacuum, there are two main types you can choose - the Dyson upright vacuum or a Dyson cylinder vacuum.

The main physical difference between the two can be seen by the two pictures below.

Cylinder v upright range

With an upright, you push the vacuum around, but when you use the Dyson cylinder vacuum, you drag the main part of the vacuum behind you.

Dyson cylinder vacuums tend to be more compact, lightweight and easier to store than Dyson upright vacuums altough with the introduction of the DC24 Allfloors Dyson now have an upright that is small and compact too.

An area where the cylinder range has an advantage is cleaning the stairs. Dyson uprights can be heavy and awkward when cleaning stairs whereas certain cylinder vacuums (such as the DC23) are made with stair cleaning in mind.

Some buyers complain that upright dyson's cannot reach under beds etc without taking the hose out. The cylinder range have smaller heads to make cleaning under beds easy.

Certain vacuums in the cylinder range come with the flat out floor tool. This attachment is thinner than the normal cylinder head so makes cleaning under furniture even easier.

All upright vacuums have motorised brushes which come into direct contact with the carpet. Most Dyson cylinder vacuums are pirely suction driven. Two models in the cylinder range do have motorised brush bars, the DC21 and the DC23 Motorhead.

Certain dyson upright vacuums such as the DC14 have the advantage of a larger bin capacity.
