Dyson’s top rated cordless stick vacuum. The third generation Dyson DC59 Motorhead (Digital Slim) cordless vacuum has more suction power than any other lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner available. This new model has the power of a corded upright yet weighs less than 5 pounds. It is ideal for quick cleaning on all floor types, upholstery, stairs and inside your car. Since it is an Motorhead version it can handle pet hair. The Motorized Floor Tool has has two types of brushes for different surfaces. Ultra-fine anti-static carbon fiber brushes can remove fine dust from hard floors, while rotating nylon bristles remove ground-in dirt from carpets, and is easily disassembled for cleaning. This new model has 75% more power in the floor tool, than the DC59 Animal for deeper cleaning of carpets.

The DC59 has a lightweight detachable long reach wand which can be used for cleaning high places, as well as hard to reach areas. It is easily removable, converting your DC59 into a handheld vacuum. The Motorized Floor Tool can be used for vacuuming either carpets or hard floors (including hardwood floors). This cordless vacuum has a MAX power mode for those tough areas which require maximum suction. Normal cleaning runtime is 24 minutes per change (6 minutes on MAX). The lithium ion (nickel manganese cobalt) batteries charge faster than most other cordless vacuums (charge time: 3.5 hours). As with other Dyson vacuums, this cordless model also uses the latest Two Tier Radial™ Cyclone Technology so that there is no loss of suction. The vacuum does not rely on the filter to trap dirt, and has a lifetime washable filter. As with all Dyson vacuums, this unit is bagless, so no bags to buy.

New Powerful V6 Motor – Dyson uses a new digital V6 motor which is smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient than traditional motors. The V6 is more powerful as well. The .12 gallon dirt bin empties from the bottom with the press of the button, so you don’t touch the dirt. The bin is over 30% larger than the DC44. Extra tools include: a crevice tool for cleaning in tight spaces, a combination brush/wide debris nozzle tool for cleaning upholstery and furniture, and a Mini Motorized Hand Tool for upholstery, stairs, cars, and pet hair removal. Its low profile allows you to easily vacuum under your beds and furniture. The DC59 filtering captures allergens, and expels cleaner air. The vacuum has 28 airwatts of power on Normal mode, and 100 airwatts on Maximum. Power has increased 50% over the previous DC44 model. The DC59 can use most recent accessories, and if you already own a recent Dyson vacuum, you can use those tools, as they snap right on the handheld or the extension wand. Includes a 2 year parts and labor warranty.

Battery Cleaning Runtime: 24 minutes.
Vacuum Warranty: 2 years (Parts and Labor).
Vacuum Weight: 4.9 lbs.


Smart-Review Commentary: The 2014 third generation Dyson DC59 Motorhead cordless vacuum gives you high cleaning power in a vacuum less than 5 lbs., but without cords. This model comes with a more powerful Floor tool, with 75% more power than the DC59 Animal, for deeper carpet cleaning. You get 24 minutes of cleaning time (up 20% from the DC44), or 6 minutes on Max. You save energy and cleaning time, since the vacuum is only on when you press the trigger. It is actually two vacuums in one. A cordless stick vacuum, and a cordless handheld. The DC59 uses a special lithium ion (nickel manganese cobalt) battery, which is the best type for constant power throughout its charge. The new Dyson digital V6 motor replaces, the V2 motor, making this the most powerful dyson cordless ever.

The bin capacity has been increased over 30% from the previous DC44 model, so you don’t have to empty it as often. The Dustbin can be detached for easy cleaning. It comes with a wall mounted docking station, for charging, and convenience. The Mini Motorized Hand Tool is great for stairs, upholstery, and car interiors, and for pet hair removal. The DC59 is very versatile for getting different floor types, stairs, upholstery, drapes, and car interiors. Like a full size Dyson, this smaller version has an advanced dual tier Radial Root Cyclone™ technology to prevent clogging, and the dust bin empties from the bottom with the press of a button. It has a low reach, so you can easily vacuum under a bed with the Motorized Floor Tool. We like that this model can use most current accessories that you might already have if you own a Dyson vacuum. This is great for quick cleanups as well. This model has received excellent consumer reviews. We tested the capabilities of this model, and can attest to its power and ability to pick up dirt, dust, and pet hair from both hard floors and carpets (see our Video below). Both the DC59 Animal and Motorhead models did a great job on carpets. Our tests confirmed that the DC59 Motorhead pulled out more dirt and dust in our deeper plush carpet, due to its larger and more powerful floor tool. The build quality is excellent and far exceeds competitor vacuums. The DC59 Motorhead is a Smart-Review top pick and our best cordless vacuum for 2014. The DC59 Series gets our BEST OF 2014 award in the cordless vacuum category.
