Manufacturer's Description

Dyson's leading cyclone technology for capturing microscopic dust The Dyson DC23 Stowaway Animal offers powerful all-round pet hair removal, it has a mini turbine head, ideal for removing pet hair and dirt from confined spaces such as upholstery, stairs and the car. A hard floor tool gives improved pick up on hard floors and long bristles prevent scratching or marking on delicate floors. Also included is a turbine head which is especially good for pet hair pick up, gives effective pick up on all floor types with no need to change tools– the brushbar can be turned off for delicate rugs and floors. Patented Dyson Root Cyclone and Core Separator technology ensures the DC23 doesn't clog, it uses powerful centrifugal force to spin the dirt out of the air, so there's no loss of suction The Telescopic Wrap System allows the hose and wand to be compressed, and ensures that the Dyson DC23 Stowaway can be stored away neatly and compactly, with no loose components or wires to get tangled. It is constructed from ABS and polycarbonate which means that as well as being compact, the Dyson DC23 Stowaway is also durable and lightweight. Variable suction means you can reduce suction in order to clean curtains, upholstery or rugs without them sticking to the cleaner. A washable HEPA filter means that the air expelled from the Dyson contains up to 150 times less mould and bacteria than the air you breathe. All models carry the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval A Dyson uses Root Cyclone technology to separate dirt from the air by centrifugal force. It doesn't rely on a filter that clogs, so suction remains constant, room after room after room. Dyson technology captures particles as small as pollen, bacteria and mould spores. That's why the air a Dyson expels has 150 times less pollen, bacteria and mould spores than the air you breathe. Replacement bags and filters for other vacuum cleaners can cost up to £250 over five years. With a Dyson, you only pay once During development, we beat, bash, freeze and drop our machines before we're satisfied with them. That's how we know they work properly. Every Dyson upright and cylinder vacuum cleaner is covered by a free 5 year parts and labour guarantee. There is also a team of Dyson experts on hand 7 days a week if you need any advice or assistance. Works on all floor types.

Customer Reviews

Extraordinarily Effective
Upgrading from a resilient DC02 which survived relentless hoovering of plaster and grit from domestic building works I opted for another Dyson. This model chosen particularly because of its superior 1400W motor and, more importantly, 280 airwatts suction (the highest rating I could find and 25% higher than the more expensive Dyson DC21 Motorhead Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner).
In use, on carpet the motorised brush heads are very effective indeed giving noticeably impressive results, picking up hair and dust that the DC02 couldn't and noticeably reviving the appearance of the pile. On relatively smooth wooden floor the suction is obvious, even pulling light dust from the area local to the outside of the suction head.
Can't readily fault it. Perhaps the 'plasticy' look, feel and operation of the 'wand' and of course the price, but the results are consistently noticeable.

Fantastic Product
Having had the product for a little while now, I find it to be superb. My previous vacuum cleaner was a bagged product, and had a powerful motor, yet having bought this product after my old cleaner finally broke down, I was surprised at how much dust this product picked up, and seemed to make light work of it too!

The build quality is also excellent - whilst the machine is slightly on the heavy side, it moves easily, and the wraparound system does make it very neat when stored. It also fits well on stairs as advertised.
The tools that it comes with are also good, and can be attached either to the end of the extending 'wand', or directly onto the end of the hose (which detaches very easily from the wand when required).

The technology of the product is quite remarkable - the cyclone system was, and still is a fantastic innovation, and a giant leap forward over a vacuum cleaner with a bag.

Finally, I find it re-assuring to know the product comes with such a good warranty.

Buy with confidence
We bought this as a replacement for our 8-year old DC05. It is incredibly powerful, does an excellent job and handles the wirey hair of our border terrier with ease. It is a bit on the heavy side, not really suitable for the less able but the solid build is a plus point really. It stores away neatly and the amount of different heads/tools included is impressive.

Amazon was by far the cheapest supplier, beating even the January sale prices on the high street. It came well-packaged too.
