The Dyson DC33 Multi Floor vacuum cleaner is a lightweight, easy to carry, powerful bagless upright vacuum for each floor type. It weighs just 17.6 pounds with no agreement in durability. Its longer Telescope Reach wand extends 15.7 feet for high reach cleaning, with no uncomfortable parts to assemble. The lifetime washable HEPA filter traps microscopic allergens. Plus, it comes with a free Soft Dusting Brush and Flexi Crevice Tool. This model also has Root Cyclone technology. All Dyson vacuums patented cyclone technology, meaning no loss of suction as you clean. This machine captures more dirt and microscopic dust than other cyclones. Still, the hygienic bin emptying minimizes risk of contact with dirt. As well, the Lifetime HEPA Filter traps microscopic pollen and allergens, making it ideal for allergy patients. All Dyson upright and canister vacuums are bagless, so there aren’t costly bags to replace. They also come with washable filters and free shipping. The vacuum carries a 5 year warranty for parts and labor.

4.0 out of five stars DC33 vs DC25, November 17, 2010
By Newton See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen) I tried both of these, and have come to the conclusion that the DC33 is superior. Here is why:

The suction and brush bar are obviously more powerful. This is what sold me. I can see the difference in carpet lines (medium pile carpet) when I use one or the other.
35ft cord is a important benefit over the 25ft cord. I can nearly do the complete floor by just plugging in a single outlet. Two could cover the whole house. With the DC25, I had to constantly unplug and replug.
Larger dustbin means I can keep vacuuming for longer without emptying. As well, the design on this one looks to keep the shroud (the perforated shield inside the canister) freer of stuck on dust.
Quieter
Although a bit bigger, it’s a alike weight to the DC25.
Critical sections may be easily taken separately to clear blockages.
The DC25 has a tiny plastic part that keeps the vacuum from tipping over in upright mode caused by the ball system. If I tilt the vacuum to the side while it’s close to being upright, I can hear a deafening snap as the plastic part is forced into a position where it should not be. I can see this breaking really soon.

There are many shortcomings:

The wand is a clear cost cutting measure. It’s plastic rather than aluminum. As well, the handle is missing (present in the DC25) a contoured plastic part that makes it more ergonomic to hold when using the wand. It also requires another button to release AND another button to retract the wand. Lastly, when you release the wand from the hose, there’s just a bare hose, rather than a alike cuff as the one at the end of the wand with a release button as on the DC25. It’s still usable, but not as nice. It just adds to the already cumbersome wand system on the Dysons.
The DC33 switches suction to the wand when in upright position whereas the DC25 switches it when the wand is drawn. A minor annoyance, particularly if you are wearing a long sleeved shirt; it may get sucked in when you hold the handle.
No ball, but to me the difference in maneuverability is negligible.

Update 3/4/2011: I used this vacuum for some months now. I returned the DC25 and don’t miss it at all. The DC33 continues to do admirably. True to Dyson’s assert, the suction is as good as new. I have washed the filters once and the procedure was simple, much simpler than going to the store and purchasing filter bags. Vacuuming is a pleasure, caused by to get the instant gratification of seeing the the dust gather in the bin, and the clean exhaust. It is most likely subconscious, but as a sufferer of seasonal allergies and constant nasal congestion, I feel like I can breathe better when I vacuum.

The only ache was removing hair from the brush bar. It does not pop off, unlike the DC25, so removing hair may be a cumbersome procedure.

5.0 out of five stars GREAT vacuum!!, February 9, 2011
By Jennifer Fox (Arkansas) See all my reviews This review is from: Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen) I did many of research before I bought this Dyson and nearly got the DC28 Animal one because I have a big dog that sheds. After doing many reading online, I learned this is the same machine as the animal except for the attachments! that is the only difference! So I decided for $200 less than the Animal one I could do without the “special” attachments. The 1st time I pulled this out of the box and used it in my living room I was not all that impressed, particularly with the suction but I decided to go over my floor again and practice with the attachments. Well, it must just have required to warm up or something being brand new because the second time the suction amazed!! (and ever since!) It left the lines on the carpet from where I had vacuumed (I love that!) and it also fluffed up the carpet and made it feel like when we 1st bought the carpet and our feet sank down in it a bit!! cool!! And the best part it picked up the dog hair!!!!! With my old vacuum I could still get dog hair on my clothes after vacuuming but I tested my Dyson: After vacuuming with it the 1st day I had my toddler drag a clean black shirt all over the carpet and guess what? Not a single dog hair was on it!! Every time I have used it since the suction was amazing!

Below I wanted to deal with many of the negatives I have read in reviews about it. I was happy I ignored them and bought this anyway!

I has been impressed with the suction from the side of it. With the front you can not get right up to the baseboards but if you may be able to run the side of the vacuum against it, it works good (or just use the wand). On another note about the front no it will not get under furniture or the edge of things. The high profile of the front of the vacuum prevents that but that was ok with me. With this kind of strong suction I would not want to be vacuuming where I can not see what it may grab anyway! And you may be able to tell by looking at the picture that it will not do this before you purchase.. not sure why many people are surprised by this.

THE WAND: this did take many practice but I like it good. Many have said the vacuum info over when you’re trying to use it but I have not had that happen at all. In fact, when I have been using the wand on the baseboards and walk and pull, the vacuum has really rolled along behind me like a canister vacuum could do following me! Just be sure the back of the vacuum where the wand was is facing you so it can roll with you while you walk. I also read some number of reviews saying the wand will suck your shirt sleeve in (because the wand is the handle and the suction switches to the wand when the vacuum is in the upright position.) But I have a simple fix for this TURN THE VACUUM OFF BEFORE putting it to the upright position. Not sure why you could need or want it on while to get the wand or attachments out and prepared anyway. Just turn it off before switching. (and the same when starting to vacuum recline it 1st, THEN turn it on.) another thing on the wand I’ll say that it could be easier if the long end part was adaptable or if the hard section was not so long. It’s a bit uncomfortable at 1st figuring out the best way to use it. I found that if you just back up a bit from what you’re trying to vacuum it gives room for you to manuever the long wand. Just do not get so close and it is no big deal. I’ll say it’s nice though to have a long hard section wand to get cobwebs on high cielings.

Unlike what many have said, this vacuum isn’t heavy! They must have been comparing it with a swiffer mop or something because as far as regular vacuums go I was happy with the weight! (go to a store and pick them up to compare.) it is really much lighter than most I tried out in the stores. It’s easy to push on my thick carpet! it is not bulky either and I find it manuevarable. In fact I tried out the ‘ball’ dyson in the store and did not think it was any more manueverable than the regular one. I also did not like the release on the ball one (that reclines it to vacuum than clicks it to upright.) I had to use such force to push on the foot lever to get it to recline that I could see it breaking after awhile. Not sure if that was just an issue with the floor model or what but I am happy I did not get the ball type. (the canister is smaller on those too!)

THE CANISTER: is easy to dump. My old bagless vacuum you had to take the top off the canister and really dig out the junk. This one has a useful release on it: You take the canister off the vacuum (with one hand at the click of a button!), and while holding it down in the trash can, you push the button that opens the BOTTOM of the canister letting all the junk fall out the bottom down into the trash. Now you do have to use your fingers to then close the bottom up, but come on two fingers with a little dust is much better than most! And it is easy enough to just wash my hands afterwards.

Sound LEVEL: it is pretty calm as far as vacuums go. My young kids used to be scared of my vacuum and could run for cover every time I got it out. The 1st time I used this one they not only came out in shock that it was not many monster going to eat them but they really skipped across in front of it playing while I vacuumed!

BARE FLOOR TO CARPET LEVER: many have said this is a hard thing to do. That confuses me because it’s just a wheel like switch on the front of the vacuum that you just turn to ‘bare floor’ or ‘carpet’. Ok, so you do have to bend down. Is that a problem? .. I do not think so. (sorry for the sarcasm. Lol)

OK, so after all the good now I’ll share the short bad. The ONLY problem I have had with this at all:
It tends to leave a clump of dog hair at the last place it standed when I am done and turn it off. I realized though this was most likely because I turned it off so fast when I was done that the last thing it picked up had not made it up into the canister still. I solved this problem by letting it run for some seconds in the same position when I was done before turning it off. That lets all the last stuff it picks up get up into the canister so when I turn it off there is no clump left. It was a simple fix I just remember to do every time when I am finished. I am happy to do that little thing for the benefit of all that dog hair being gone!

So in general I’m happy with this vacuum and greatly recommend it particularly if you have pets.

4.0 out of five stars Addressing poor ratings from others., April 4, 2011
By lbs360 “lbs360″ (Rochester NY) See all my reviews This review is from: Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen) I have read many many reviews on the Dyson DC33 before buying. While the most of them are positive, and I agree, there are some negative reviews that are just ridiculous.

First, I agree that the extension arm does appear cheap and is uncomfortable to use. Does it work, yes. Does this annoy me? Not enough to give the vacuum a awful review. This is the only reason I give it four stars. The handle to the wand is a bit flimsy. I get around this by really holding the wand itself and not the handle.

Other than the above, the suction is great. We bought this vacuum for our new home. The last holders had pets and vacuumed and shampooed the carpets before we moved it. The DC33 still pulls up dog and cat hair that the last holders couldn’t get out of the carpet. I used this vacuum to clean my car and vacuum up dust from sanding our walls. I have not found any other faults in it, other then the extension wand.

As for the other negative reviews. Someone stated that they were disappointed that they had to unravel the cord themselves? Cmon. You cant expect your vacuum to do everything for you. This just screams lazy. Others commented that it wont reach under the sofa. Well, Then move the damn sofa. You may be able to effectively vacuum under your sofa totally without moving it anyway. There was one other that states that Dyson was liable for damaging hardwood or linoleum floors because their floors were not level. How is this the fault of the vacuum? Sounds to me like someone didnt install your floors properly. Last on that list, the attachments are too complicated to use for your maid? Are you kidding? This thing is really easy to use. Why not attempt reading the information.

Why did I get a Dyson? Simple reason, my mother. She’s had pets all her life and I have never seen a vacuum pull as much hair out of a rug as her Dyson Animal does. I got a good feel for the vacuum at her house while visiting. We decided on the DC33 because we don’t have pets and the Animal was overkill for us.

For the best pricing out there, go to banksvac.Com. We got our DC33 for $309 shipped. Free shipping, No taxes and at least $90 less than anybody else that has this vacuum for sale.

Is it perfect, no. But it’s still a damn good vacuum in my book and I could purchase another one if I required to.
