Digital Slim™ Fluffy Extra (Purple/Iron)
More than Fluff

I never thought the day would come when I would shout “yay!” when a DHL guy appears at my door with a vacuum cleaner. I have heard so much hype about the Dyson Digital Slim but have always reserved a healthy skepticism. Finally, a chance to test it out on my own!
Unboxing was an experience in itself. Opening the box immediately got a “Wah...” from me. Then, a pause. So many parts...where do I begin? I could not find a manual (only to discover at the end that a QR code has been provided for an online manual) and some parts looked pretty foreign to me. So I quickly enlisted the man’s help, and he took to the new “toy” (his words, not mine) immediately. Not sure if he loved the challenge, the tech, or the lady. Guess it helped that the Dyson was a beaute: slim, purple, lightweight! After figuring out the parts, putting them together was a breeze. Each part clicks in perfectly and is easy to remove. Even my 7 year old had fun putting the parts together. I loved that the Fluffy seems rather intelligent. Being a complete Dyson Digital Slim noob, and also being trigger happy, I immediately pressed the trigger and the vacuum cleaner was quick to respond and request to be charged fully before first use. It took around 2 hours to reach full charge. And we were off!
First we tried to vacuum the floor. Very light, very easy to manoeuvre, but I would say if your floor is full of hair and dirt, it might be prudent to do a quick sweep first. Otherwise, the rollers fill up with dirt too quickly and you have to keep clearing it to be more effective. Clearing the dirt/dust though, is really easy. I love how Dyson designed it such that you do not have to reach in and touch the muck, just a simple lever and voila! Straight into the trash.
I did have trouble reaching under the bed even though this vacuum cleaner is already very slim. But one great use for this is that I can now vacuum the ceiling with ease. Other vacuum cleaners I have used in the past were too heavy to hold up for long, not to mention the cord would always get in the way. Cordless is the best technological advancement ever! #thinkmobilephones
Now I no longer need to tug at the monster machine rolling around, trying to reach corners I can’t because the power point is just not quite near enough. My children no longer need to navigate the treacherous cord snaking through the house, and they are even happy to help! Even the 2 year old, who is usually afraid of vacuum cleaners, joined in the fun!
