First impressions
The box was sure hefty for a product which claims to be 30% lighter. Thankfully, much of the weight was due to the floor dock which came with the vacuum cleaner and the multiple parts. I was so excited that this model came with the floor dock because I simply refuse to drill anything into the walls at home. Sorry, pet peeve here! Someone at Dyson must have had the same thoughts to come out with the ingenious idea of a floor dock! Thank you!
Product
I have never owned a Dyson cordless vacuum before (minus my toddler’s toy Dyson cordless vacuum with zero suction power) so unboxing the cordless vacuum itself was exciting. The real excitement was seeing how pretty the gold is and how sleek the entire machine is! The real winner came when I picked up the machine and it was so light! Since it was at 1.9kg, I was still expecting it to train my arm muscle but no, it weighs almost nothing. This is definitely a huge contrast to my previous cordless vacuum by a competing brand. The weight difference between the Dyson digital slim and competing brand (2.72kg) is really huge.
I am not able to give a review for the vacuuming of false ceilings though (we don’t have any) but I can imagine that the Dyson will be manageable to lift. I did try the light pipe crevice tool to vacuum dark corners around the house though, such as behind the standing mirror and the light made the job so much easier.
Downside
2 features that I may miss in my old competing brand cordless vacuum is perhaps the on/off power button though. I think it is sufficient to have an on/off power button instead of the trigger. However, I guess I just need some time to get used to it. Honestly, the button is easy to trigger and it doesn’t really bother me that much even after vacuuming the whole house. The sound that comes on after pushing the trigger did add to the cool factor.
It is also easier to remove the dust and dirt from my competing brand vacuum as my long hair got wrapped around the cylinder and I had to remove them separately. Not sure if there is any way around this.
Conclusion
All in all, this is still a keeper! It’s a pity that the Dyson vacuum didn’t arrive before CNY as it would have helped loads in spring cleaning but hey, CNY 2022 is coming up in 10 months’ time :)
