Dyson DC50

Total Rubbish – We bought a dyson vacuum D50 approx 5 years ago believing that you only get what you pay for. Well we paid $400 but recieved a vacuum that i believe to be worth $50. The machine would not click onto the stand when not ising it. It was just out of warranty and i will give Dyson credit for repairing it free of charge . However , the vacuum head is… Read more

now broken and will require $100 to be spent on new part. I will be purchasing a bagless vacuum for between $50 - $100 that has less moving parts to break. Even if it does break , i can simply replace it at thst price, not $400 for a Dyson . Very disappointed in the Dyson vacuum and will never purchase another product from them.

Incredible Mechanics – Carpet to tiles, this machine is amazing. It makes tedious work bearable. The suction is amazing in that you go over a surface once instead of three or four times. I would never go to a conventional vacuum cleaner again. Show details

This is the best vac we have ever had. It is our third Dyson model and we wouldn't consider any other manufacturer – We use the DC50 for all our floors which are tiles and carpets. It is very easily to clean and empty, even the filters are easy to take out, clean & put them back in. Show details

Good so far – This is good for my apartment. Easy to store. Cleans pretty well and only takes me a few minutes to vacuum the whole apartment which is almost all carpeted. I also use it to clean my sofa. It has small attachments which help cleaning tiny corners. A little bit heavy to lift.  Show details

Good alround vacuum but – I use this on all floors, I have two cats and the spinning brush thing works great picking up hair off couch tops and carpet/wood floors. I feel this vacuum lacks suction power compared to other Dysons I have got in the past. The machine feels heavy and is not great getting in to corners or under tight spaces. The extender vacuum hose thing… Read more

at the back is useless at picking up anything ( I might be using wrong) but not a lot of suction

Overall it does it’s job it’s great on carpets and rugs but not so great on wood floors kitchen tiles

I replaced the filter and cleaner the unit. Dc50 – I also replaced the turning heads. I turns on and sound for e seconds Then stops rotating I figured a got screwed I never buy a tyson vacumm again I thoroughly lcean and cleaned the unit. Bought new filter and head Turner. Waste of $$$ no customer service I bought this expanse piece of crap  Show details

Worst vacuum I've ever used – I used my partners Dyson dc50 today for the first time after moving in together and omg it was useless. The short stick part dosent even reach the top of the couch I had it lift the whole vacuum up onto the couch .and then it didn't really suck as there was still cat fur everywhere.it was good on the floor for a quick vac over but not for getting into corners on getting cob webs down. Il be using my trusty old vacuum from now on .  Show details

The worst piece of machinery I've ever used – I'm 45 minutes into cleaning my kitchen and am not even close to finishing. The machine was refusing to suck, but after pulling apart the vacuum cleaner as per the Youtube video and ensuring every single joint was spotless (not that there was a lot of dirt in there to start with) it began to work, even if very poorly. Every 10-15 seconds it would… Read more

stop sucking again and I'm forced to fiddle around with it to get it to work again. After about 5 minutes of solid work doing this it stopped sucking, seemingly for good, and began spitting out everything it had picked up in the last few minutes back onto the floor. It's literally making the house dirtier.

Piece of Junk – Worked fine for a while but then stopped working after a couple of months. Would not pick up. Forget taking anything back to Harvey Norman they don't want to know they just refer you to Dyson who then try to talk you through fixing over the phone. When that does not work you then have to pack it up & send it back to them. Could not be bothered… Read more

with that & threw it in the skip bin a waste of over $700 will never buy a Dyson again will never shop at Harvey Norman again. Where has customer service gone?

Excellent in cleaning but cable – This is a good vacuum but the cable is really short and it’s impossble to reach other side of room. Got to keep changing wall sockets to vacuum whole room. Overall decent vacuum Hope they realise this and change the cable. Cable cable cable 50words review cable cable cable thanks  Show details

This was useless from day one – Have had a Dyson DC50 for about two years. Lighter than the old one it replaced but noisy. We use this to clean laminate flooring and it is TRULY hopeless at picking things up.This is the primery use of a vacume cleaner. Works on carpet slightly better. Filter always choking up.Would liked to have writen a good review ,but sadly the product is not fit for purpose.  Show details

My old Dyson DC8 was far superior – My husband purchased the DC50 for me after my old faithful DC8 died. At first I thought that I was being a bit over critical because I was used to my old DC8 so I persisted using it. Unfortunately, 3 years later and I still get frustrated with the DC50- hair gets caught in numerous places, blocking the tubing and stopping it from sucking properly.… Read more

It seems to have problems picking up any particles larger than everyday dust and it’s hopeless on my hard floors.

Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend the DC50.

Best vac I’ve ever had! – Had my Dyson for a few years now and it works just as awesome as the day I bought it! I’ll always buy a Dyson over any brand when looking for vacs.. so easy to clean and maintain and always makes the carpets look like new.. even with 4 kids running through the house!  Show details

5 years of hard work – My home has large areas of both ceramic & carpet.It has worked extremely well & when it needs replacement Dyson is the brand I will go for.I admire good design & Dyson has it in heaps.I like other people have a shedding dog & in every way it has exceeded my expectations.At times I have given this vacuum cleaner work beyond its design capacity &… Read more

when Isulffered loss of suction I must admit it is a little difficult to clean out blockages particularly in motor head tube.To Phil in his review I would suggest that he cleans all his filters including the one situated on the side of the ball.

Don't expect a long life – Suction was good, a very noisy machine, quite heavy to move, difficult to manoeuvre,light residential use only lasted 4 years, customer service is limited online instructions on how to unravel brushes and wash and change filters yourself, mine ceased picking up and cost of repair is similar to new machine, I expected more from a machine with such a high price tag, extremely disappointing.  Show details

Good vacuum – Happy with the suction but could be better. Very light so Im fine with the trade off. Picks up well on floorboards, tiles and carpet. Reasonable easy to move but wish I went for the barrel one. Easy to remove and empty the dust bin and haven't had to wash the filter yet.  Show details

Awesome! – I hated vacuuming till I got the Dyson! I can't say anything more than it amazing! It cost $$ but it's so worth it! I've had mine for 7 years with a shedding dog in the house half carpet half tiled. Vaccumunf is not the chore it used to be! It's easy to clean, no bags or complicated filters required. All the attachments are easy to use and all fit… Read more

back on the unit easily!. Don't waste you $ on $300 models, spend the cash and have no dramas. My friends borrow mine!

Great suction and hair don’t stick in the brush – The suction is extremely good no complaints whatsoever. The carpet brush remains clean throughout the course of vacuuming. I have seen some upright vacuums have issues with hair getting tangled in their carpet brushes - but not this Dyson. It’s not quiet for sure but I don’t expect it to be especially if it’s got good suction capability. Wire is long enough. I recommend this product.  Show details

Disappointed – I bought this item when it was full price at $1150 @harvey norman online. Delivery was fast but after using it a few times, i was impressed at the suction but it was a bit heavy for me. I had to return the machine to dyson 6 times for small repairs. After using my friends shark, i will never spend that kind of money on a vacuum. I expected more from a big company like dyson.  Show details

Best so far – Love this vacuum cleaner, it is the best I ever owned so far. It has great suction and if easy to maneuver on carpet as well as tiles and wooden floors. Another plus for me is that it is bag less so less waste and this also makes it easy to see and to pick my sons lego out of the vacuum after I accidently sucked it up.  Show details

Light and Easy to use – Very happy with this Dyson vacuum. It is very easy to use and it has great suction. It is light and relatively quiet and i could easily find a place to store this machine. I use this on both carpet and tiles for a 25sqs home. Definitely the best vacuum that i have used,  Show details

Great Suction – I bought a Dyson Multi Floor when on sale at BigW of all places. I haven't had much luck with vacuum cleaners in the past, probably because I either bought cheap, or was sucked in by a sales person into buying something I didn't want, usually for too much money, only to get it home to find that it was no different to the last disaster. This one,… Read more

however, is brilliant. I've had it for 5 months now and it is still working fantastically. Having recently moved into a brand new house and wanting to protect the carpets as much as possible and also having 2 teenage girls with extremely long hair and it gets everywhere and into everything. The turbo head on the Dyson makes sure I get every piece of hair off the floor and the attachments get into everything else.

The only down side of this cleaner is that it's a little on the heavy side, but this is a small issue when compared to how good it is. I've heard that Dyson make the best and if tis unit is any indication, I have no reason to doubt that. It's worth paying a little more to protect your investment you made in your house and floor coverings

Fantastic!!!! – I'm amazed every time I vacuum, I just cannot believe how much dust is in my carpet and how much dust is sucked up when I vacuume, it's amazing definitely the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. I recommend this vacuum cleaner to everyone who wants a clean carpet and a clean house..  Show details

Great suction but very heavy – Great suction on this vacuum. It's excellent for carpets or rugs. It works very well for vacuuming up dog or animal hair. It works well on surfaces like concrete, tiles or floor boards however it's very loud when used on hard surfaces. It is also very heavy and can be difficult to maneuver. It's size makes it difficult to get underneath furniture or behind corners and doors etc.  Show details

Good Vacuum Cleaner – We bought this vacuum cleaner almost 2 and half years ago and never looked back. I was looking for some bag-less options in vaccuum as well as the functionality of using it in bathroom, on carpet and our wooden timber flooring. Bought this one and extremely happy with its performance. Does the job well and gets all the dust and other stuff from… Read more

the floor.

Easy to clean and does not take much time.

It is light to use and easy to maneuver. It can be a bit clumpsy in the beginning till you get used to it, which shouldn't take more than a week or so.

Does not take much space and can be stacked in a corner which is great.

Happy with the product so far and would definitely go for dyson, if I had to buy another one.

SUCKS absolutely SUCKS (in a good way) – The most powerful vacuum cleaner i have ever owned, this thing just SUCKS and SUCKS HARD, literally even with the compartment full of crap still sucks! At first i was a weighing down the price and all other brands before buying a pricey and branded item, but luckily i got this at a sale price at masters (probably due to them closing down) the… Read more

machine has never missed a beat, still sucks as hard as it did from day dot, the only cons i can think of is the section where you need to use the single suction hose, gets a bit tiring trying to lug around a big vacuum while your trying to clean, but it's worth the lug due to the powerful suction in a single go.

Definitely recommended if you have a big house and require to vacuum quiet often.

Very efficient vacuum – This vacuum is very efficient and sucks up a lot of dirt. It is very easy to empty and the extra nozzles that come with vacuum have been great for reaching tight spaces. My only complaint is when taking out removal extended attachment part to vacuum was difficult to figure out and can be often hard to manover. Still a great vacuum cleaner.  Show details

Great sucker – Awesome machine. Very powerful and sucks up everything, even cat fur embedded in carpet. Very easy to use and love the different functions and attachments. Light to carry and move around and the dust disposal function is really cool and easy to do. Kids even love using it which is a big plus.  Show details

Excellent vacuum for a smaller abode – Excellent quality product. The vacuum canister is simple to dismantle and clean. Noticed a marked improvement in my asthma condition within a week of using this vacuum to clean my carpets and couches. Definitely more suited to a smaller household, but just as powerful and useful as the bigger Dyson vacuums. Powerhead brush isn't harsh on carpet fibres, and my rugs look plush and are nice to walk on after a quick whiz over.  Show details

Good suction, love using it – I am happy with my Dyson, I've had for 12 months, so much so that I just bought the stick model for downstairs. I find it light enough. Easy to empty, very easy to maneuver, great suction, (I really think it makes it's own dust, as I find it hard to believe my floors are so dirty). I do have 4 cats, so it must be them. Best vacuum I've ever… Read more

had. Dyson are great at helping, as I needed help to clean the filter the first time, just a phone call. I use it on carpet, tiles and wooden floors. I would highly recommend a Dyson.
