Dyson DC 40 Multi Floor Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

The Dyson DC40 multi floor upright vacuum cleaner is a very powerful vacuum that has been specifically designed to remove dirt and dust from multiple types of flooring such as carpets, tiles, vinyl and wooden floorboards. It features a self-adjusting head and base plate which changes automatically to any floor type that it might be on and resulting in the highest amount of contact for that specific kind of flooring. This reduces air leaks and retains suction power on all surfaces. The Dyson DC40 comes with an extension wand and hose that extends up to 5 meters in length to clean your stairs or those places that are hard to reach.

Who the Dyson DC40 Animal Vacuum Cleaner is Best for?

People with different flooring – The self-adjusting head and base plate on the Dyson DC40 automatically changes between any surface and seals in the air to give it optimum sucking power.

People with Allergies -The Dyson DC40 has a constant powerful suction as well as high dirt removal and the ability to capture allergens. The Dyson DC40 features Dyson cyclone technology that can capture microscopic pollen, mold and bacteria particles.

People who want a light Vacuum cleaner – The Dyson DC 40 is much lighter than the DC 41 weighing in at only 14.5lbs instead of the DC41′s 17.4lbs.

Couples or smaller families. The Dyson DC40 is lightweight and the ball technology makes it extremely easy to manouvre around furniture and in smaller spaces. The 5 year Dyson warranty on the DC40 (including parts) says something about this great product.

People who want to save money – one of the best things about the Dyson DC 40 is after the initial outlay there is no more expenditure. Bags an filters are not necessary to buy, and if anything should happen to break it is fully covered under the Dyson 5 year Warranty.

Final Verdict?

Overall the majority of Dyson DC40 Customer Reviews have been really good. Quite a few customers said that they have been really impressed with the actual ball technology and how this allows them to get in to corners and up close to the walls. A few people have commented on the wand which can be a little awkward as it is three feet long and you need to stand back a bit and reach up at an angle if you have a low ceiling – this takes a bit to get used to but if you have a high ceiling then this is fine. The weight and compactness of the Dyson DC40 has been mentioned in a few reviews – again with customers all being very happy. Overall customers are very satisfied with the quality of clean this vacuum provides for multiple surfaces in their home.
