Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dyson DC14 Low Reach Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: A Little Overrated??
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but I really thought after reading some reviews that this was definitely the vacuum to buy. Must be my vacuuming needs are different from most.
For starters, I have too many pieces of furniture that the vacuum cannot get far enough under. Having to stop and attach the low reach accessory is a pain. Secondly, I have 3 Himalayan cats which shed unbelievably! The vacuum can get the fur off regular carpets, but when I run the vacuum over area rugs the beater brush stops and the clutch slips. I contacted dyson about this and they suggested that I use the bare floor setting for area rugs. Yeah, right. Forget about picking up the cat fur. I need the beating brush in order to do so. Thirdly, the vacuum does not lift the nap of my carpet the way my deceased Hoover Wind Tunnel did. It had various head settings which really helped lift the troddened traffic pattern off my carpet. Fourth, I don't like having to extend the wand in full to use it. Sometimes I just need a quick "suck-up" of dirt or cat fur along a wall or stair tread, or a quick swipe of hair or lint in the bathroom beneath the cabinet, and the whole wand is just too long. Lastly, I can think of only once in the month I have owned this that I didn't have to stick my hand in the canister to dislodge my sweepings. Yuk!
So, in my opinion, although it is fine for general vacuuming, I think I would have been better off getting another Wind Tunnel. Maybe in time I'll gift this to my daughter and get what I need.
To its credit, it is quieter than the Wind Tunnel and has a nice long cord. That why I gave it 3 stars.
