Dyson DC14: Dyson’s Easy Stair And High Reach Vacuum

The Dyson DC14

Vacuum cleaners come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and combination packages. Some are packed with the latest attachments for vacuuming high ceilings, others have low floor tools, but none offer the exceptional performance that the Dyson upright vacuums offer because they simply can’t match the Dyson Technology.

Dyson DC14 Technology

The Dyson DC14 is one of a select few vacuums that is equipped with the Dyson Cyclone Technology that guarantees your vacuum cleaner will never lose suction while you are using it. The Dyson Cyclone which is a feature that you will only find on Dyson vacuum cleaners is a patented technology that uses a whirlwind like motion to propel dust dirt and contaminants away from the vacuums HEPA filter meaning that while your vacuum is in use the filter is not being blocked by what it has already picked up. This is quite unlike the system in which a normal vacuum cleaner works.

Dyson DC14 & Your Health

Forgive me if I am assuming to much, but I would guess that one of the major reasons you keep your house clean and vacuum as often as you do is to insure the health of you and your family. Well if that is the case then I want to be sure that you know that the DC14 has a highly intuitive and easy to clean canister that can be emptied with the simple press of a button leaving you without the mess of bags or a handful of hair and dust.

Another bonus of buying a Dyson DC14 is that you will actually reduce the number of allergens and asthma irritants that are currently residing in your home. As every Dyson Model vacuum is certified as asthma and allergy friendly.

Dyson DC14 Models

The Dyson DC14 is an All Floors vacuum cleaner. All Floors means that the vacuum is designed to be efficient on cleaning all types of floors and surfaces, and also to be safe for all styles of floors. The Dyson DC14 All Floors comes with a motorized brush bar that allows for you to toggle the brush bar between on and off with the push of a button.

You may want to turn the motorized brush bar off for a few reasons. One so that you do not scratch or damage hardwood, vinyl, or ceramic floors. Two so that you do not catch or remove threads from area and surface rugs. Or three because you are vacuuming large amounts of long pet hairs that may cause the brush bar to clog.

The Dyson DC14 is also acclaimed as an easy stair vacuum and high and hard to reach ceilings as it is equipped with the Dyson Telescope Reach™ wand. The Wand allows you to extend your vacuums wand easily up to 27 ft. That makes cleaning the ceiling corners and fan blades is simple and stairs are a breeze.

Universal Attachments for Dyson Vacuum

One of the more frequent questions that I get asked is “are there any attachments for my Dyson vacuum available” so I thought I would take a minute to help you guys find what attachments you can get for your Dysons.

If you would like to know what attachments are available for your specific Dyson vacuum email me with your question at ajm [at] dysoninfo [dot] com and I will try to write up an article specifically about what attachments are available to you.

Universal Attachments for Dyson Vacuums:

Flexi crevice tool
Soft dusting brush
Stiff bristle brush
Multi-angle brush

Flexi Crevice Tool Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson Flexi Crevice tool attachment is extending and flexible in order to l easily fit into those hard to get to places.

Soft Dusting Brush Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson Soft Dusting Brush attachment works pretty much like a regular dusting brush except with the power of a Dyson vacuum behind it. Use the soft dusting brush on your piano and don’t worry about the finish.

Stiff Bristle Brush Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson Stiff Bristle Brush Attachment on the other hand is much less delicate and heavier duty. Use the stiff bristle brush to get the stuff off of the floor that you might need a little extra help with.

Multi-angle Brush Attachment for Dyson vacuums:

The Dyson multi-angle Brush Attachment allows you to work without performing acrobatics. Clean the tops of fan blades and cabinets with ease by attaching this tool to the wand of your Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Dyson Low Reach Floor Tool Attachment

What is the Dyson Low Reach Floor Tool Attachment?

Vacuuming under your couch, bed, or an open bottom step can be laborious to say the least. You can get a friend or loved one to help you move a couch or bed, but I don’t care how many friends you have I doubt you are moving the steps without some major construction. The Dyson low reach floor tool is designed to make the process a whole lot easier. The attachment is a low profile vacuum head that can me attached to your Dyson to help you clean underneath the tough places your normal vacuum head can’t fit.

How to Use the Dyson Low Reach Floor Tool Attachment:

While you are doing your ordinary house cleaning it is easier to put on an attachment to complete the job than it is to stop and move a piece of furniture. With that in mind the engineers at Dyson made their low reach floor tool a simple snap on attachment. In order to use it just remove the collapsing / extending wand from your vacuum and snap the attachment into place at the end of the hose. Then continue to use you wand to sweep underneath your couch or coffee table. You don’t need any special tools to use the low reach floor attachment, and it works like any other piece of Dyson equipment. IE: the Dyson multi-angle brush or the Dyson mini turbine head.

Will The Low Reach Floor Tool Attachment Work With My Dyson?

Unfortunately like many of Dyson’s attachments the low reach floor tool is not a universal attachment. It is specifically designed to work with only 3 of their upright vacuums; the Dyson DC07, the Dyson DC14, and the Dyson DC17.

What attachments does Dyson offer?

I have written a few articles about some of Dyson’s other tools so be sure to check them out with the following links or head on over to Amazon from the images below to see what they offer from Dyson’s lineup.

What is The Dyson Ball Asthma & Allergy?

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

I have recently seen a lot of people searching for the term Dyson Ball Asthma so I wrote this article to clear up a little confusion some may be having about the Dyson Ball vacuums. The Dyson Ball technology is currently available on two of the Dyson upright vacuums; the Dyson DC24 and the Dyson DC25. These two vacuums are almost identical in looks and functionality, except the DC25 is much larger than the DC24 and it comes in two different model types as opposed to just the All Floors model that the DC24 comes in.

Unfortunately neither of these vacuums is actually built as an Asthma & Allergy model, meaning that in reality there is technically no Dyson Ball Asthma that many of you have been searching for. But don’t be discouraged.

If the primary focus of your vacuum cleaner is to reduce allergen and asthma irritants, you might want to continue your search for a Dyson Asthma & Allergy model, but you don’t actually have to.

Every Dyson upright vacuum cleaner is actually certified asthma and allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. This means that no matter which Dyson model you choose you will get the benefits of a vacuum that reduces asthma and allergy irritants.

So if you have your heart set on getting a Dyson Ball model feel reassured that even though the Dyson DC24 and DC25 don’t come specifically in a Dyson Ball Asthma & Allergy model type you will still be getting and seeing the results of an asthma and allergy friendly vacuum cleaner.

The Asthma & Allergy Model is currently available on the Dyson DC17.

Dyson DC17 vs. DC25

Dyson DC17 vs. Dyson DC 25

Before I dive into my assessment on which of the Dyson DC models is the better of the two I highly recommend you take some time to read the more detailed explanations of the individual vacuums that I have written about each model as they might be a better indicator of which vacuum is right for you.

More information on the Dyson DC17 and the Dyson DC25.

About the Dyson DC17 & DC25:

The Dyson DC17 & DC25 are both upright models in Dyson’s range of vacuum cleaners. Each vacuum is offered in both the Dyson Animal and the Dyson Asthma and Allergy styles. They are both also equipped with a life-time HEPA filter, finger tip brush control, extending wand, hygienic canister, 5 year warranty of parts and service, and an ergonomic handle for carrying.

What makes the two vacuum cleaners different is the new techonology that has been added the the DC25. The DC25 is equipped with the Dyson Ball technology that make a vacuum easy to move in it’s nature. Most vacuums are on a rigid frame that only allows for forward and backward movements, and the DC25 isn’t. The Dyson Ball lets you move in any direction by simply turning your wrist the direction that you want to go.

Dyson DC17 vs. Dyson DC25 Results:

The Dyson DC25 Ball vacuum cleaner is the cleaner that I would prefer to own because I love the Dyson Ball technology. Both vacuum cleaners come in Dyson Animal and Dyson Asthma and Allergy Models, Both are equipped with the Dyson Cyclone technology, and both have the hygienically easy to empty canister, meaning that the vacuums actually have very few differences in the way the operate and pick up dirt and dust.

The decision to go with the DC25 is then completely based on my personal enjoyment of the ball technology that makes maneuverability easy. I currently am using the Dyson DC24 in my home which is the DC25′s little brother. The DC24 is an exact replica of the DC25 but it is smaller in stature. With my experience using the ball I have found that is does everything that they say it does and anybody that has a tight space or a lot of furniture could really benefit from using it.

However choosing the right Dyson for you can be a difficult tasks as each model has great benefits and could possess the trait that you need, so I suggest you keep looking and maybe even check out our comparison of the DC18 Slim vs the DC25.

Dyson DC14 Animal This Animal Doesn’t Shed

Friday, November 21st, 2008

The Dyson DC14 Animal is the only animal you will ever own that doesn’t leave a mess, need food, or cost a fortune in veterinary bills. In fact this animal is quite unlike anything you have ever seen before. The DC14 Animal is another one of Dyson’s upright vacuums that was made with one thing in mind. What is the best way to pick up what your animal left behind?

Fur and pet dander are huge allergy and asthma irritants that are left pretty much anywhere an animal lays his weary adorable head and yet most vacuums will never even come close to being able to pick up what is left behind. Because they aren’t built specifically with them in mind. The Dyson DC14 on the other hand was built exactly for houses with pets.

The vacuum comes with a brush control button to help protect surfaces other than carpet by allowing you to turn your brush off when vacuuming floors made of tile or wood. It also has the mini turbine head to pick up dust and pet hairs from tight spaces in upholstery which is great for use on stairs. The turbine head of the Dyson DC14 Animal also works great in cars for those days after you have to take your pet into the vet.

Animal hair doesn’t just make your house look dirty it has a serious effect on your families health. Asthma and Allergies can prevent your from living the healthy lifestyle that they deserve. This is why all Dyson vacuums have an easy hand free cleaning canister that dumps right out of the bottom into a garbage can with a single push of a button and they are all Asthma and Allergy friendly by the standards of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

But the DC14 Animal doesn’t only pick up pet hair. It comes with all of the standard features found on the DC13 All Floors model. You will find that this model is also very easy to put together, has tools for extended reach and corners, and has a lifetime HEPA filter that only needs to be cleaned once a month with hot water so maintenance is easy.

If you aren’t sure if this is the right vacuum for you take a look at all of the the Dyson upright vacuums available.
