Customers are mixed about the size of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it fits into tight spaces and turns sharp corners easily. They also say it's small and very light, making it easy to move around. However, some say that the canister is small, so it does need to be emptied more. The dustbin is also small, which makes animal hair get stuck. Overall, the vacuum is only good for small spaces with minimal dirt and pet hair.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
When this vaccuum arrived I looked at the size of the box and thought instantly, this is way to small. I immediately went to my computer and requested a return/refund. Then I purchased one of the other full size models just minutes after starting the return process. I hadnt even tried this vacuum, but my mind was already made up. Shipping on the other vacuum was going to take 5 days. I stood there looking at my carpet which was covered in dog hair shed from 3 Samoyeds and bits of things my new puppy had chewed up and scattered everywhere.
Even though i had no intention of keeping the shrimpy little Dyson, I really needed to vacuum my apartment. Reluctantly I opened it up and had a little laugh. The size of the canister was tiny, the hose was narrow and short... everything about it just felt wrong.
Then I plugged it in, turned it on and I was blown away. It might be a small vacuum but baby it packs a punch! I purchased a DC25 7 years ago and I have never had an issue with it. (I dont currently have it with me, so that is why i bought this compact model) anyhow, I thought my old Dyson was a great vacuum, little did I know how far they've come in their design and efficiency.
On first glance this compact model looks cheap. However, once you're vacuuming, it becomes apparent that it is an engineering masterpiece. It just might be the most amazing vacuum I've ever used.
So yeah, it was love at first dust mite... After using it for about 15 minutes I went back to my computer and cancelled my return. I was going to keep this cute vacuum. It was going to be mine forever because it was the most perfect vacuum in the world.
Over the last month, I have noticed a problem, and it's a big problem. My dogs hair wraps around the brush head and the bristles are gradually falling out in clumps. This for me is deal breaker because replacing the brush every month is not something I want to do. Take a look at my video to see the damage that one months use has inflicted on the brush head.
With just a few days left to return it, I have decided to send it back to where it came from. My life will never be the same without this vacuum, but I know it just won't work out in the end for either of us, so I have to let it go. If you love something let it go.... right?
This vac is replacing a 10 year old first generation Dyson upright. I can't remember the model number, but it was the yellow one. I liked it, but it felt like I was moving a tank across the floor. And I was never totally satisfied with the performance, as I'd have to go over and over spots to get dirt and pet hair up. I attributed it to the fact that we have 3 cats and 1 dog, a corgi. And folks, corgis are one of the shediest (sic) dogs on the planet!
When I fired up the DC50 I was amazed. Using the description of another reviewer, this thing is an ANIMAL FUR AND DUST ERASER! One swipe back and forth and the carpet is spotless. The small size equals extremely light and easy maneuvering.
The one and only drawback is the dust canister is VERY SMALL and has a very small capacity. Frequent emptying is to be expected. And the debris does not just fall out when the cover is popped open. One must dig a bit to pull fur and dust out. I ended up using one of those plastic strips with hooks that is normally used to pull lint out of the inside of a clothes dryer. I'm sure that the larger unit, like my old one, will have debris fall right out when the cover is popped.
Other than that I am very satisfied with this unit!
Pros:
1. Does a fine job of living up to the Dyson reputation for suction power.
2. VERY compact so it's easy to store away.
Cons:
1. Astronomical cost.
2. You will have to spend a lot more to get attachment that should have been included.
3. Will not be able to vacuum under bed unless it is propped by stilts. (The Dyson attachment I had to buy only works semi adequitely.)
4. The hose is absurdly short. You won't be able to reach the ceiling to get cobwebs unless if you are able to hoist the the vacuum over head with one hand while vacuuming with the other hand. The other option is to spend a lot of extra time and effort to undo the hose then attach a clumsily designed extension hose. The hose winds and unwinds so in other words, the attachment spins as it expands. Whichs makes for a very difficult process for what should be simple, specially at this huge price tag (why didn't they make the hose longer to begin with?!?)
5. Vacuum doesn't move in a straight smooth motion. You will need to exert extra grip and tension to keep moving straight. Sounds strange but true.
Be careful when emptying the dust canister. The dust gets stuck and when you shake to facilitate the drop, the dust plumes and goes straight up your nose. I got from the first time first time so now I use a dust mask and as gently as possible I spin in stead of shake the canister.
Amazon was very helpful and did what they could. But I didn't realize that there was a one month refund cut off. That was my own mistake and should have checked. I was told I need to deal with Dyson directly which was a whole different type ordeal. Half of the people I tried to talk to seemed as if they were resentful to be at work were unbelievably rude then the other half which were calling to apologize to me. Seriously, it happened a few times. I tried to get them to do an even trade for an older model. They made me spin my wheels and had to drive 30 miles to an authorized repair center to look at it for no reason. In the end they told me they were going to send me a longer hose which they never did.
Overall, there are much better ways to invest your money. I'm a big Amazon fan and they did not do anything wrong and tried to help best they could, but for a purchase like this, I should gone with Costco.
Update: Ironically, the day after writing up this review and months of waiting the hose finally came. But it's only an extension and to go through bunch of steps to use and it also extends by uncurling and therefore spinning your attachments as you extend. I waited months to really take my time to give a fair review but, unfortunately, I get more annoyed the more I use this product. If you're a die-hard Dyson fan, I would strongly recommend the cheaper and better dc41 for upright.
