Product Description
Apartment dwellers, go for the ball!
With its convenient, collapsible handle for closet storage, the Dyson DC24 Ball Upright is the lightest and most compact vacuum in Dyson's line-up. This vacuum model is based upon the successful ?Ball? design which allows the head and base off the vacuum to pivot and turn with a twist of the wrist. The design allows the vacuum to easily maneuver around furniture and tight spaces with ease. As such, it is excellent for cleaning all floors with the grace and aplomb of a ballet dancer. It has a lifetime HEPA filter. There are no bags to replace. An extending wand cleans drapes, upholstery, and more.
When and where storage space is prime and closets are already crammed, this 12-pound Dyson offers a collapsible handle. It's an upright that fits into really small spaces.

New technology is easy to use July 22, 2008
I love the idea of the ball and it is a breeze to push around and use. Dyson has reworked the hose so that it is easy to pull out for attatchments. Be aware that there is a DC24 and a DC25, which I didn't know. I ended up getting the 24, which, for my big spaces, this vacuum is just a little small. The canister is much smaller than their other machines and I had come to expect more power from it. This smaller version also has a shorter cord length.
For most homes I'm sure the cord length and canister size would be fine on the 24, but I wish I had been more attentive and chosen the DC25 instead. I am probably going to end up purchasing a DC14 again and use this one on one level of the house.
 An amazing machine. July 18, 2008

Let me preface this by saying I live in an apartment with hardwood floors and two area rugs. If you had wall to wall carpeting I can easily see how this model would be too little vacuum for you. Now on with the review!
I bought this Dyson and it's incredible. I could make a lame joke the fact that it really sucks, but a vacuum this amazing deserves a joke of higher quality. The vacuum is so powerful that I swear I'm cleaning the apartment below me through the floor boards. What I'm trying to say is if a plane were flying overhead and you were to point the Dyson at the sky, it would clean the airplane's carpet. I used it on my rugs and they look brand new. I. *****. You. Not. I used it once and dumped the contents out, and then I used it on the same rug and got even more dirt out of it.
It comes in a couple different pieces that you need to assemble. It took me a bit to put it together, but that's because I was trying to make the process difficult. It comes with the body, handle, and head. The long handle doubles as a cleaning wand that you can attach to the hose by flipping it upside down. It only comes with one attachment which is a minor downside, but if you're not cleaning a lot of unusual surfaces (see: apartment dweller like me) the one attachment is probably all you'll need.
On my last vacuum it would collect dust into a plastic bin, and then I'd have to open it up and pour it into the trash. The Dyson also has a plastic bin, but instead of having to manually unscrew the bottom, the Dyson allows one to push a button and the bottom swings open like a trap door dumping its contents into the trash. That makes so much sense!
The next thing that is unique to the Dyson is how easy it is to maneuver. The Dyson doesn't have four wheels like most vacuums, instead it has a giant ball in the center that allows it to turn with zero effort. It seems weird to describe the handling of a vacuum, but when I use it, there's something about the fluidity of its movement that just feels right. The whole product is just a beautiful piece of engineering.
All and all I think the highest praise one can give a product is not a statement but question; why haven't all ______ been designed like this? That's exactly what I asked myself after using the Dyson DC24.

There is nothing good I can say about the Dyson Ball Vacuum. It is about as noisy as a jet on the runway; it's difficult to muscle around; to empty the canister you have to pull stuff out with your fingers; and $400 is outrageousfor such a trashy heap of plastic. I could go on - I'd give it minus stars but there isn't that option. Can I return it to the manufacturer?
What a great purchase!!! July 16, 2008
At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend over $350 on a vacuum, but was it worth it!! This vacuum is amazing - picking up every speck of dirt, dust, paper and whatnot from the floor. The vacuum is really light weight and although the dust canister fills up quickly, emptying it is really easy. The only "complaint" that I have is that the vacuum filters (there are two) need to be washed out once a month, which really isn't a hassle to begin with. I can honestly say that I love this product and was worth every penny.

Works great. Picked up way more than my old vac. Very happy with the ease of purchasing and the quick delivery.
