The DC 24 Ball Multi floor takes Dyson’s trademark engineering prowess to the next level, providing an elegant and simple solution to an age old problem. Vacuum cleaners have never been the easiest things to manoeuvre. The fact that most cleaners are fixed to rigid wheels means they can only move in straight lines. Going back and forth involved a lot of three point turns.
However, The DC 24 uses the Dyson Ball to solve this problem. The increased manoeuvrability makes it easy turn sharply and get right up to corners and edges where dust can gather. The motor which powers the vacuum is housed in the ball. This gives the vacuum a lower centre of gravity.
The DC 24 uses Dyson’s famous bag-less cyclone technology to ensure none of the 100 air watts of power provided by the machine are lost during use (the fact that there are no bags also makes the vacuum easy to empty.)
In addition the motorised brush bar uses powerful revolving bristles to pick up pet hairs and extract dirt from even the deepest carpets, one of the key factors that made this model a Which? Best Buy.
Whilst the DC 24 does have very high level of cleaning performance, being smaller than most vacuums, the smaller width of the head means it cover as large an areas as some other machines.
The power cord is also a little on the short side, meaning you may have to switch power sources as you clean. It is also a touch on the noisy side.
The DC 24 is manufactured from ABS polycarbonate, an incredibly hard material, tough enough to withstand the 155 quality control tests Dyson submit their machines to. Even if you do find some kind of manufacturing fault with your machine, every one comes with a 5 year warranty.
Despite being so durable the DC 24 is the lightest of Dyson’s upright cleaners, making it very easy to carry around.
The DC 24’s washable HEPA filter has been approved by the BAF for it’s ability to capture and retain the microscopic particles that cause allergy sufferers so much grief.
The DC 24 is a very versatile cleaner. The motorised brush bar can be turned on or off at the switch of a button for use on both hard and soft floors. The machine also comes with a wand extension, which can be affixed to the hose to make difficult to reach areas easier to get at.
The grip on the wand is reversible, so you can get a get a good grip without twisting the hose on occasions where you need to clean at an awkward angle.
The handle can also be compressed down by a third of its height for easy storage.
If your pets are forever leaving hair in areas you find hard to access with your vacuum you can purchase the DC 24 Animal model, which comes with a mini turbine head, which can be attached to the end of the hose, giving you the ability to clean hair from a variety of awkward surfaces.
The DC 24 Drawing is a limited edition model for design aficionados. It with comes in clean white and transparent panels emblazoned the actual design notes of Dyson engineers.
The box also includes a few fun engineering challenges inspired by some of James Dyson’s most inspirational heroes.
