Dyson Digital Slim DC59 review

You reach for the sugar bowl, you miscalculate how far away it is, it goes everywhere. Damn. You go to the cupboard, get out the classic Hoover, look for a plug socket, have to no doubt clamber behind something, unplug something or go so far away that...

Portable, lightweight, good suction, boost button, plenty of accessories in the box

Maximum 20-minute battery life, no power gauge, no swappable battery, small bin

The Digital Slim DC59 shows that Dyson can successfully make a cordless vacuum cleaner that's still powerful. But does it suffer poor suction, battery life and capacity as we touched upon in our opening gambit?

Dyson DC59

We've got a round-up of cordless vacuums on test, including the Dyson DC59 which weighs up at just 2.1kg, but it's got a heavy price at £349 - can it make it out on top in our round-up test though? Hit play on the video above to find out! Dyson DC59 is...

Dyson DC59 Animal review: Dog vs vacuum

The latest stats for 2013 suggest that 25% of all households in the UK have dogs. A large percentage of those pet owners will likely enjoy a relatively straightforward cohabitation with their canine companions.

Ask yourself this - do you need a super high-tech vacuum cleaner? Because that is what the DC59 is. However, its fundamental cleaning power isn't hugely different from, say, a £100 Henry hoover.

Dyson DC59 Animal cordless vacuum

The DC59 Animal is a powerful, versatile cordless vacuum with outstanding suction

Impressive and powerful suction ; Included accessories are versatile ; Excellent, lightweight design

High price ; Battery life

The Dyson DC59 Animal offers impressively powerful suction, a lightweight, bagless design and includes a detachable wand that offers excellent versatility. However, you'll certainly pay a premium for its convenience.

Dyson DC59 Motorhead review

The Dyson DC59 Motorhead has remarkable good looks and can practically pull the fibers out of your carpets, let alone the dirt. If only the battery lasted longer…

Despite the very limited runtime, the Dyson is real pleasure to use: Cleaning is actually fun with the Motorhead. If the company could find a way to triple the battery life, the DC59 Motorhead would be a marvel.

Dyson DC59 Animal review

Lightweight, a snap to maneuver and easy on the eyes, the cordless Dyson DC59 Animal is a surprising joy to use. It almost makes cleaning fun. Almost.

It’s hard not to fall in the love with the stalwart Dyson DC59 Animal. It feels good in the hand, it’s lightweight, and it’s easy to maneuver. And I even like the look of it. Perhaps its most impressive quality, however, is its power to clean. Dyson...

Dyson DC59 Motorhead

The Dyson DC59 Motorhead vacuum adds more floor-sweeping and upholstery-cleaning power to the performance offered by the slightly less expensive DC59 Animal.

More powerful motorized heads are even better at picking up dirt than before. Elegant, simple design. Lots of accessories.

Expensive. Dust receptacle is small. Less-than-stellar battery life.

Conclusion The Dyson DC59 Motorhead isn't perfect. Its battery doesn't last particularly long, and a few frustrating design elements hold it back. However, it's powerful, elegantly designed, and incredibly useful, and can easily become your main vacuum...

Dyson DC59 Animal

The Dyson DC59 Animal is a drop-dead-gorgeous cordless handheld vacuum cleaner that can clean your carpets and floors as well as an upright.

Lightweight. Useful for floors and corners. Plenty of accessories. Powerful for a cordless handheld vacuum. Floor cleaning head makes it as functional as an upright vacuum.

Expensive. Short battery life.

If you want an incredibly versatile, portable vacuum cleaner and can afford the Dyson premium, the DC59 Animal is for you. It switches between handheld and upright in a snap, picks up loads of dust, and has plenty of accessories and configurations for...
