It is really nice that this vacuum can get the hard floor and carpeting right up to the edge. I didn’t have to use the crevice tool at all for wide-open spaces that butt up against a wall or door. Next, the three tools that you can use are very handy. There is the crevice tool for tight spaces, an upholstery brush for furniture or curtains, and a stair brush for carpeted steps. Once again, they all clip to the vacuum for easy access. You can turn off the carpet option for the rugs and use the hard floor setting so this doesn’t happen. Another option is to start at the center of the rug and vacuum out towards the edge.

After I vacuumed up the house with the Dyson DC14, the canister was filled with dust and debris my inferior model missed. It actually kind of disgusted me to think that I was surrounded my so much filth. You can see through the plastic canister, so when the 5/7 gallon container is getting full, you simply detach it. Make sure you hold the canister directly above the trash, because when you hit the red release button, all the dust falls down and out of the container.My wife doesn’t like wrapping it up tight anyways, so it really isn’t that big of a problem, but sometimes I don’t want to take off the entire 35 foot cord to use the hose. Ease of Use

The Dyson DC14 All Floors gives your floors an incredible clean. The suction power is amazing, and it doesn’t spit out any dust at all from the exhaust. The on board tools are also very nice. This motor replaces 220-240v motors labelled with YV-511, YV-2200,YV-16K24EE,YV-16K24ED and YV-16K24EC. This motor has an internal suppression and overload thermal cut-out, not one that screws to the outside. This makes no difference at all to compatibility or fitting.DC04owners: If you have a non-clutched lime green/grey or a pale blue/grey non-clutched DC04/DC04i, that has an Ametek motor. You shoulduse >this conversion kit< instead. There are two large rear wheels that make it easy to move the vacuum around when you are cleaning, or just pushing the vacuum to the place you want to clean up. With the additional three feet of Telescopic Reach the hose extends up to 17-feet. I have a vaulted ceiling and can reach up to the top with the help of the extended reach. The tools that attach to the hose include an upholstery brush, a stair brush, and a crevice tool.
