Dyson’s best upright vacuum for 2014. The new Dyson DC65 Multi-Floor has updated its Radial Root Cyclone™ Technology to increase suction power. The motorized brush bar makes this model ideal for removing pet hair and has 25% more power. For delicate rugs and hard floors, the brush bar can be turned off. Dyson’s new lightweight upright ball vacuum is ideal for those who want a powerful vacuum that doesn’t lose suction, but also don’t want to have to work with a heavy floor-cleaning machine. Equipped with the latest Dyson Ball technology, this upright vacuum cleaner sits on a ball for easy twisting and turning around furniture and obstacles. The DC65 series is Dyson’s best upright. The new cleaner head on the DC65 Multi-Floor self-adjusts which gives you more suction power.

Dyson New Cleaner Head

Dyson’s New Cleaner Head with Active Base Plate (25% more power)

Dyson’s new Active Base Plate will adjust from Hard Floors to Carpet automatically, keeping a tight seal for maximum suction. The Dyson DC65 has an ergonomic handle that’s designed and positioned for comfortable carrying, as well as a quick draw telescope reach wand which expands to reach for stairs, drapes, upholstery, and more. Total reach from the power outlet is 51.7 feet. HEPA filtration prevents dust and dirt from polluting the air while you are vacuuming. Hygienic and quick to empty: just press the button and avoid contact with the dirt. 35 foot power cord. Includes a 5 year warranty. Another appeal of this vacuum is the lifetime filters that don’t clog. This vacuum was certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

Smart-Review Commentary: The new 2014 Dyson DC65 Series is Dyson’s best upright vacuums. There are three models. The Multi-Floor, shown here, and two Animal models that come with additional tools. All three are essentially the same except for color and the tools included. Dyson Radial Root Cyclone™ technology and the HEPA Filter capture microscopic pollen, mold, and bacteria so that you don’t breath in what was in your carpets. Very little dust or dirt actually makes it to the filter, so they don’t clog, and you don’t have to clean them often. This vacuum is suitable for those with allergies to dust and mold and is certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The new reconfigured motorized brush bar helps remove deep down dirt and pet hair from carpets (25% more power), while the latest Ball™ technology allows you to effortlessly move the vacuum around furniture and other obstacles. The telescoping wand and hose give you a long reach to clean stairs, walls, drapes, and ceilings. The entire DC65 series (Multi-Floor, Animal Complete, and Animal) vacuums are the same except for the color, and the tools that you get. The DC65 is very durable, as it is made of polycarbonate, the same material used for riot shields. This model has received extremely high marks from professional reviews as well as outstanding reviews by consumers. We got a full demonstration of the DC65, and can attest to its capabilities (see our video below). The DC65 model series is a Smart-Review top pick and our best upright in the bagless vacuum category for 2014.

Dyson Tangle-Free Mini Turbine Tool

Dyson's new Tangle-Free Mini Turbine Tool Video Demonstration (Click to Start)

Upgrade Option: “Tangle-Free” Mini Turbine Tool – Most good pet vacuums include an air driven turbo or turbine tool to remove pet hair, dirt and dust from smaller areas inaccessible from the vacuum. This would include vacuuming upholstery, chairs, stairs, beds, car interiors, and other smaller areas. Dyson has designed what we consider a superior “tangle-free” turbine tool, that removes long and short pet hair, human hair, threads, ribbons, shoelaces, strings and other hazards without tangling, as it has no beater bar to wrap around like traditional turbine tools (see video on left).
