Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
HEPA + Bactisafe: Lifetime HEPA filter and bacteria - killing screen.
Root Cyclone Technology: A Dyson cyclone spins air at high speed. Dirt and dust are thrown out of the airflow and collected in the bin, not on filters or in bags. So unlike other machines, Dyson doesn't clog and lose suction, so it picks up more dirt.
Telescope wrap: Wraps for easy carrying and storage.
Contact head: Articulates responsively at the neck to maintain closest contact with all floor surfaces even as you pull backwards, so it picks up more dirt than conventional floor tools.
Unique hose wrap: For easy storage.
Approved for allergy sufferers: DC08 Telescope Wrap models have been approved by the British Allergy Foundation for allergy sufferers.
No running costs: The pre-motor filter removes particles down to 0.1 micron and is washable. The post-motor filter traps harmful carbon emissions from the motor. This filter never needs replacing.
Sits comfortably on stairs: DCO8 Telescope Wrap is designed to sit on each step as you clean.
Removable tool holster: You can store the tool holster on the machine or on the hose so that the stair, crevice and brush tools are always to hand.
Car and upholstery cleaning: For easier cleaning in confined areas the tools can be fitted directly to the end of the wand or the hose.
Adjustable wand: Adjusts to the length you want and compacts for convenient storage.
Suction release trigger: The suction release trigger reduces suction so that you can clean curtains, upholstery or delicate rugs without them sticking to the cleaner. No need to adjust any dials or switches.
Easy to manoeuvre: With a rear centre of gravity, DCO8 Telescope Wrap turns and manoeuvres responsively on the spot and is easily pulled around furniture.
Clear bin: You can see how well the Dyson works, you can always tell when it's full, it's easy to empty and you can retrieve lost objects.
Large debris pick-up: The additional front channel on the contact head means that larger dirt and debris are not 'snowploughed' across a smooth floor, so you can pick up larger pieces such as rice and nuts first time.
Protective rubber wheels: Over moulded with rubber tyres, the wheels are kinder to your floors than plastic wheels.
Robust construction: Made from the strongest materials available to withstand bumps and bashes.

We are really pleased with our first Dyson, it really does the job! I find it easy to use and fold up, with the filter - it doesn't give out that musty smell, easy (but slightly messy) to empty the dust cannister and it is really satisfying to be able to see the amount of dirt that it has picked up. It's frightening to see that the carpet can get so dirty in a couple of days!
We've given it one star less than perfect because of its weight - it feels quite a lot heavier than our old compact cleaner so not as easy to lift or wheel about. Slightly harder to store due to its shape.

This is my first Dyson vacuum cleaner and it is by far the best I have ever used. The suction is incredibly powerful and the amount of tiny dust particles and fluff it picks up illustrates what normal vacuums do not pick up. My carpets actually look significantly cleaner after just a few uses. One slight snag is that the hose does tend to kink quite easily, which is a bit of a design flaw, but overall this is a very well engineered product with excellent performance.

I bought this even though the reviews weren't as good as I expected and it really is phenomenal. There has never been a problem with suction and no real issue with static electricity. It is easy to store in our flat and I find myself using it often since it is so easy and so effective.

Excellent little vacuum cleaner
My first dyson. Took me months to come round to the idea of spending that much money on a vacuum cleaner, but it really is worth it. Read more

Very good!
Much prefer this to the push arounds, great cleaner, easy to use and powerful. Note though that the DC20 has now replaced it.

Wonderful, but the static is serious
It works very well, is versatile, has a lot of power and excellent filtration. In short, I love this vacuum- but should a vacuum generate so much static electricity? Read more
