Some of the positives of this machine include its ability to clean hard floors. It is called a “multi floor” cleaner, but with our tests, we noticed it only works well on low pile carpeting. It still has above average suction power at around 90 inches of water lift. It also is versatile enough to clean hard floors and short pile carpeting efficiently and effectively. This also means it won’t do as great of a job on medium to long pile carpets. The brush bar simply doesn’t dig in deep enough with its carbon fiber bristles. Performance on Rugs

In larger rooms, you may have to change outlets from time to time. The cord is that short. On the bright side, it retracts with the touch of a button, so you don’t spend any time winding up the cord when it’s not in use. Ease of Use on Stairs

It left behind more than 90 percent of the dirt we put down, among the worst performance we've seen. The Carbon fibre floor tool is powered by an efficient clean-air turbine system. Air drawn in from the side of the tool passes through a fine mesh and drives a turbine connected to the brush bar. The brush bar can be turned on and off at the side of the tool.

For both carpets and hard floors, the edges were cleaned up easily with the Dyson City. You won’t even have to get out the crevice tool to make sure the edges and corners of your floor are clean. No dust or debris came out of the exhaust. This means the hot air coming from a Dyson DC26 is cleaner than the air you are breathing right now. Attachments / Onboard Tools The Dyson DC26 Multi Floor was fairly quiet. In our tests, it put out 73.9 decibels, but that’s still a tad high for such a small vacuum. It also only pulled around 1030 watts. The hose is a bit deformed along it's length, has been walked over alot. It also doesnt come off easily... The Dyson DC26 Multi Floor has OK performance on hardwood and is fairly capable on short carpet, but avoid using it on long carpet. Dirt and Debris CleaningWho should buy this machine? If you have a smaller place with hard floors and short pile carpet, this Dyson is meant for you. Actually, if you have a smaller place and are allergic to pet dander, dust, or pollen, this vacuum is perfect. This is an extremely rare machine to be found in the UK because any you will find here are imported from Japan. The DC06 machine was a robotic machine that was never officially launched in the UK, you can find out all about those here: The Dyson DC06.
