Some people think that because it’s a bagless machine, all they have to do is empty the dust bin and they are good to go. Wrong!

There are some instances though where the suction is a bit too strong and the rug, especially if it is a small entryway rug, can get lifted off the ground below. However, whether a cordless vacuum is as good as a corded vacuum largely depends on your specific cleaning needs and preferences. Wrap the cord properly: To avoid damaging the cord, wrap it properly around the cord hooks or cord wrap on the vacuum. Don't wrap it too tightly, as this can damage the cord or strain the electrical connections. The Dyson DC26 City did surprisingly well in all of our tests. It might be small, but there aren’t many messes that can’t be cleaned effectively with the DC26. Some of the highlights of this machine include how well it did with small particles on short pile carpeting. It also does a fabulous job on hard surfaces no matter what sized particle you have to clean up. We tested the claim that the Dyson City had a HEPA level filtration system with our airborne laser particle scanner. Their claims are valid.With a simple snap, you can pull down the upholstery attachment on the crevice tool. This is nice for dusting, or freshening up curtains.

On the other hand, cordless vacuums are much more convenient to use, as they don't require a power outlet and can be easily moved around your home. They are also generally lighter and more maneuverable than corded vacuums, which can make them easier to use in tight spaces or on stairs. This also means it won’t do as great of a job on medium to long pile carpets. The brush bar simply doesn’t dig in deep enough with its carbon fiber bristles. Performance on Rugs On the positive side, the Dyson DC26 articulating tool is a lot wider than the turbine brush. Even for such a small canister vacuum, it can clean a large area of hard flooring in a minimal amount of time.
