I have the DC26 Allergy

http://www.dyson.com.sg/store/product.asp?product=DC26-WOODWOOL

It is really small and serve me well.

I used to own a Philips wireless. Find the suction no matter how is weaker than those with wires. And the suction time is limited and battery charging time long. For small area vaccuming still ok, for the whole house, not useful at all. And bcos the Dyson is small, I vaccuum the table and shelves as i vaccuum the floor.
Hubby also used it to vaccuum the fans, ceiling lights and all. One of my best investment so far. in my opinion, a better tool than my irobot.

I’ve been so busy and no time to surf KSP since my maid went home after her contract finished. Was thinking of getting an iRobot until I saw the posts here abt new vacuum cleaners like Dyson and Electroleux. But aren’t these the normal ones you have to do it yourselves? Are they really better than iRobots which will do the job for you?

Finally bade farewell to my helper earlier this month. Felt very overwhelmed coz for the first time in more than 12 years I'm maidless


This thread has been very helpful. Like what most of u have mentioned, my home is cleaner, although I'm a FTWM without part time help - & I have pets; yes plural.

The only thing thought I was going to dread was ironing. To \"motivate\" myself, I went to the recent Robinson's private sale to buy the \"easiest\" iron and solid ironing board.

I am in no way affiliated to Philips. Just a FTWM who desperately needs housework to be easier!!
