84.1  The Dyson DC33 vacuum cleaner gets good consumer ratings.  Its score is about average for a Dyson vacuum however.  In terms of uprights it gets better ratings than the old DC07 but doesn’t quite stack up to the likes of the Dyson DC25.  It has a lot of great features including a long power cord, a large dirt canister and very powerful suction. On the downside the unit is a little heavy at over 17lbs (although not as heavy as the DC28) and some owners complain about a grinding noise when vacuuming carpet.

77.9 The Dyson DC35 is both a handheld and a stick vacuum.  It is also cordless and weighs under 5 lbs.  Consumer ratings range from spectacular to less-than-stellar.  It appears to depend on consumer expectations – if you are looking for a vacuum suited for large household cleaning then this will disappoint.  But as a cordless stick vac for small cleanups it performs quite well.

83.5  The Dyson DC23 Turbinehead gets good consumer ratings.  It is also less expensive than it’s big brother the DC23 Motorhead.  Consumers like the fact that it is sturdy, compact and has good suction, however they also voice concern about the short power cord and the small dust canister.

86.6  While the average of the consumer ratings for the DC28 Animal is quite high, when reviewing the ratings themselves there were few 3 or 4 star ratings (out of 5).   Most ratings are 1, 2 or 5.   This indicates that people either love this vacuum cleaner or hate it (and given that the overall score is 86.6 it appears a larger portion of consumers love it).  This is an expensive vacuum but it has very strong suction, is good on carpet and bare floors, and is effective at pet hair removal.  It is, however, fairly heavy.

77.0  The Dyson DC21 is a bagless canister vacuum with a lifetime HEPA filter.  Consumer ratings are only average for this machine and the power cord is quite short.

87.1  The DC17 Animal is designed for the home with pets and it uses Dyson's powerful Level 3 Root Cyclone technology.  It is certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation and gets good grades from consumers.

90.9  The Dyson DC23 Motorhead Vacuum Cleaner is a powerful bagless canister vacuum.  Consumer ratings for the DC23 are hard to find but those available indicate a very high level of consumer satisfaction.

81.6  The Dyson DC07 All-Floors is a bagless upright vacuum and like most Dysons uses Cyclonic suction.  Cyclonic suction doesn't require bags or filters and is said to ensure that suction does not decrease over time (as the dirt canister fills).

84.7  The Dyson DC15 is a bagless upright with HEPA filtration and it uses Dyson's patented Root Cyclone system to remove debris from the airflow.  Consumer ratings for the DC15 are good.

89.1  The Dyson DC25 Animal is essentially the same vacuum as the highly rated Dyson DC25 All-Floors however it comes with a special turbine tool for removing dirt and pet hair.  It is also purple in color.

87.6  Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floors Vacuum Cleaner is the lightweight of the Dyson uprights and it gets very good consumer ratings.  It comes with all the usual Dyson features but, like most Dysons, is not cheap.

82.1  The Dyson DC24 All-Floors vacuum cleaner is very popular and there are many consumer ratings for this machine.  Like all Dysons it is bagless and there are no bags (or filters) to replace.

65.9  The Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner does not get particularly good consumer ratings - unlike most Dyson uprights and canisters. 

82.2  The DC14 replaced the earlier DC07 and it comes with most of the typical Dyson features.  Consumer ratings are good but not as good, say, as the DC25.

93.2  Dysons are not cheap but the DC25 is a very well-rated bagless upright with a long warranty.
