Bad Points

Weight, capacity and Pre-filter cleaner.


General Comments

This is a very stylish unit and looks good in any modern home.
It is quite easy to use, switch on and go.
The automatic sensor is really good.
Excellent suction and very little blown about when vacuuming dusty areas.

Problems
1. Bottom heavy so hard to negotiate small steps
2. When locked in upright for tool use it is too easy to unlock by mistake if lightly knocked
3. Has a very small capacity compared to other makes about this range.
4. When picking up any volume of small particle dust (Sandpapered walls or a new carpet) the pre filter blocks too easily stopping the pre-filter cleaner from rotating.

Once this has happened a number of times, the filter starts to block too easily and vacuuming 2 rooms means you have to empty it and clear the pre-filter.

I really wish I had gone the extra £30 and gone for a D***n.

    I purchased a Panasonic MC-E593 to REPLACE a Dyson, and I'm glad I did!

    Have not encountered any of the problems described - the Panansonic runs perfectly, and leaves the carpets perfectly clean.

    The Dust Sensor Indicator is a real boon to a mere male like me, as it shows when the carpet is properly clean, not just when it looks clean!

    Thanks for this second opinion, Andy, especially as it's what I want to hear!
