Dyson canister vacuum cleaners incorporate Dyson's Root Cyclone technology. This technology makes use of centrifugal force rather than filters to clear the air of dust particles and traps them in a collection cup. Such use of the said technology enables a compact little canister vacuum from Dyson to achieve power that’s equivalent of an upright machine.
Here’s a brief overview of the DC11, DC21 and DC23 canister vacuums:
Dyson DC11 Telescope Canister Vacuum
The outstanding feature of this equipment is its size. You can fit it into smaller places. The lightweight power head is designed to fit beneath furniture or any such awkward place. The wand and hose can conveniently be folded to a compact small pack, making its transportation so convenient and can easily be stored in the minimum of space of a cupboard or a closet.
Features of the Dyson DC11include:
* A very compact size
* Low profile power head is designed to have a low profile.
* It comes with a Lifetime HEPA filter
Pros:
* It offers convenience of storage and transportation.
* Offers the ease of approaching tight spaces
Cons:
* It delivers best results on floors but does not perform so well on carpeted surfaces.
* Poses problems with its maneuverability.
* Is rather bulky for a compact vacuum.
Dyson DC21 Stowaway Canister Vacuum
One can easily define this as a better version of the Dyson canister vacuum. While retaining the characteristics of a compact size and easy transportation, this equipment is desirable for its ability to offer cleaner carpeted surfaces than the Dc11. The system is provided with an on/off feature for the motorized brush roll, while shifting from a carpeted floor to a plain one. Its lifetime HEPA filter while making the environs free from airborne particles also prevents them from being circulated back into the air via its exhaust. Like other models from Dyson, DC 21 also incorporates cyclone technology that enables it to have continued power suction even on getting full. True to its name, Stowaway offers simplified storage as the hose and the wand get easily wrapped up around its canister.
Features of the DC21:
* Extra attachments facilitate telescopic reach.
* The motorized brush roll comes with an on/of facility.
* Lifetime HEPA filter is provided.
* Dirt collection bin has a capacity of 4/9 gallon
Pros:
* Its powerful suction is of great help for picking up pet hair.
* As it doesn’t require bags or changing of belts, the cost of operation is economical.
* It’s equally efficient for cleaning of carpets and floors.
* Like other models in this series, it requires a small space for storage.
Cons:
* Thin plastic used for its hose makes it prone to kinking, cutting off the airflow.
* Its rolling around is not so smooth.
* Power cord should have been longer.
* Extendible wand sometimes collapses during use.
* Attachments tend to fall off at times.
Dyson DC23 Stowaway Animal Canister Vacuum
The DC23 is probably the most powerful Dyson canister vacuum. It is coupled to a 1400 watts motor designed to deliver a superior suction of 280 air-watts. That makes it one of the highest rated machines. The provision of a powered mini turbine head makes it the most efficient machine for getting rid of pet hair from the furniture and other so-difficult to-approach areas. It enables you to have a control on suction. This feature is of great help while you clean the drapes, as they don’t get stuck up to the vacuum cleaner. This superior combination of Root cyclone technology and lifetime HEPA filter ensures that there is no clogging nor are any allergens circulated back to the environs of your room, leaving only healthy air for your breathing.
Features of the Dyson DC23:
* It’s powerful motor is provided with a variable suction control.
* It comes with a mini turbine attachment.
*You get a telescopic wand and hose with extra attachments
* Like other models, this too has a lifetime HEPA filter.
Pros:
* Suction is very powerful.
* It’s very efficient in removing pet hair.
* Works equally efficient, be it a floor or a carpet.
Cons:
* Plastic components give it a rather flimsy look.
* It’s unwieldy and heavy - hose is particularly heavy.
* It doesn’t roll over smoothly due improper distribution of weight.
* It’s quite a task to assemble it.
