So I introduced you to the Dyson DC35, and I took you behind the scenes to see what goes into the making of a Dyson vacuum — now you’re probably wondering what it’s like in action. I actually have Dyson DC25 All Floors Ball vacuum that I absolutely love, so I had some pretty high expectations going into testing the DC35. It didn’t let me down one bit.
- Maneuverability –The DC35 has the same ball feature on the head, which allows it to pivot and turn to easily pick up all of those crumbs left beneath my kitchen table after every meal. It’s smooth and effortless and even my kids can push it. In fact, I’ve only had to vacuum with it a handful of times, because my kids bicker over who gets to sweep with it — I’ll take it!
- Suction — The Dyson Digital Slim really excels in the suction department. There isn’t a speck of dirt or dust left behind, and the multiple attachments make it easy to get in all of the cracks and crevices that my other kitchen vacuums couldn’t even touch.
- Convenience — I love that the Digital Slim has three different attachments that allow it to convert from a floor vac to a hand vac. It actually completely eliminated the need for my other hand vac, so we moved it upstairs for quick use. The charging station is phenomenal. Everything has a place, and it’s easy to place the vacuum back on the charger after each use so it’s always ready to go when I need it.
So are there any drawbacks to the DC35? Well, it is pricey at $299. However, after seeing the work that went into it, I feel like it’s a good investment — and as I mentioned, it’s actually taken the place of two different vacuums I owned previously. Also, when you use the vacuum on high, it only lasts for approximately six minutes on a single charge. However, when you use it in regular mode, it goes for 15+ minutes of constant suction which I think is very reasonable.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to other moms. It’s made cleaning up after my kids a breeze, and believe me, they really know how to make a mess!

My family and I have a Dyson and absolutely love it. Well worth the investment.

We use a broom and dustpan. Our vacuum broke about a year ago and I have not replaced it. We don’t have any carpets so its not that bad but I bet this Dyson would work incredible on my floor.

Have a Dyson Animal Control; have had since they came out. Have 2 dogs and 2 cats, it is a life saver, love it. This sounds like it would be great for quick pick ups. Dyson has a great product, would give THUMBS UP on any of their products.

I need to check this vacuum out. I have no carpeting in my home and have 3 cats and a black lab that sheds so much. I vacuum a couple of times a day and have a Kenmore canister vacuum that I have not liked since the day I bought it 8 years ago. A good friend has a Dyson and loves it.

So you tempted me with the intial teaser on this vac so I HAD to get one… cashed in some credit card reward points for a Bed Bath and Beyond gift card and combined it with a 20% off coupon and it was a great deal! I LOVE IT! Now I think I need one upstairs too :-)

Now I use a Dirt Devil vacuum. I live in an apartment that has all carpet, so it works ok. Yet in two weeks I am closing on my first home! Very excited! My new home has all hardwood floors, so my Dirt Devil will have to go. From the reviews I read, looks like the Dyson would be the way to go!

We have hard wood and a few ruds and til so I do alot of sweeping which kills my back but I do also have a little eureka that helps out a bit but getting old.

I have always wanted to try the dyson, but at their current prices I find it hard to purchace. I think they are a good design; however, that is a lot of money for something made of plastic. I am not sure that it will last.

OMG, I love Dyson, but have not bought one yet. I currently use a ProTeam professional series upright.

My family and I use this really old school Eureka my mom bought probably 30 years ago. We always try to stockpile vacuum bags when we see them at dollar stores and other places. They don’t make them anymore!
I have heard great things about Dyson. My sister has one in her new home and she absolutely loves it.

Love dyson!

I had a dirt devil , which worked for a short time and then it was just the vacuum I used. Now in my new house, I have a Panasonic which was passed down from my husband’s uncle. It works, but I can’t help but wonder what about a dyson??

I use a Dyson for my carpets but it makes a god awful noise on my area rugs because the suction is so strong! I love Dyson products.
Jenna
