Vacuum is perfect size for my 1-bedroom apartment. It's *very* maneuverable thanks to "the ball" and compact enough to slip easily into a small space in my closet. It's got good power and cleans very well. A few minor complaints: it's got two filters that you're supposed to clean regularly (bad for us lazy people) and the hose is a bit short when I'm trying to vacuum non-floor spaces like chairs and couches. Also, it's a bit awkward to switch between the upright vacuum mode and using the hose-- you have to pull the entire handle out, turn it upside down, and reattached it to the hose; this is mostly annoying because you have to entirely unwrap the extra power cord in order to do this. But I'm just giving you all the nitty-gritty so you're not surprised, I definitely would recommend this vacuum for apartments or small houses (full-sized houses should get the larger capacity model dc25).

All my DC24 seems to do is push crumbs across the floor- I always have to sweep up with a broom after "vacuuming" with this thing. It works okay on my rugs but it's absolutely atrocious on my wood floors. The roller bar does not adjust to a different height, so it never really gets on top of anything in order to suck it up. I have 2 kids who are constantly tossing cheerio's and other crumby things onto the floor and I'd like to be able to actually vacuum it up like my old junky vacuum used to! I find myself dangling and/or angling the vacuum to land precisely on top of whatever object I'd like sucked into it- this is a huge pain and every time I vacuum I am cursing it out under my breath. What a waste of money. I give it one star because it looks good.

The Dyson does not get low enough to the floor to allow it to get under furniture. That's a big problem!
I haven't vacuumed under our bed, coffee table, break front, couch, ever since I bought this thing. It get's under chairs with 18" legs, but anything shorter than that, and you're out of luck.
I'm told the Oreck one piece goes flat to the floor. Hotel maids have to get under coffee tables and beds.
Personally, I went back and ordered a 2-piece vac last night.
The Dyson goes onto Craigslist. :(

Dyson DC24 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner
OMG this vacuum is awesome! It's tiny, delicate looking but when I vacuum I can feel the carpet and tile lift right up off the cement (lol)
Price-wise, I can't complain, $399...I mean I will gladly pay extra for something that DOES ITS JOB and DOES A GREAT JOB too!
I did have a 100 pound Dirt Devil Reaction ($180) that wouldn't suck up dirt if the dirt jumped up inside of it.
My carpet LOOKS different, brighter, like I've had them cleaned! The feel of my carpet under barefeet even feels softer. I love the fact that I can vacuum the tile too, while I am in the vacumming mode, since I have 4 kids and 2 are always crawling around and getting crumbs everywhere. Sweeping is something of the past, thank God!
I had the Dirt Devil, and the day I got my Dyson, I did a little test...I vacummed the whole house with the Dirt Devil and then with the Dyson. In my infant daughter's 10x10 bedroom (low low traffic area, new carpet) the Dyson's dirt cup was ALMOST FULL of dirt, debris and hair that the Dirt Devil didn't even get! By the time I Dyson vac'd the whole house, I had emptied the dirt cup 4 times. And remind you, this was 10 minutes AFTER vacumming with the Dirt Devil. No joke. Since getting it, I vacuum every other day and still am pulling up cups and cups of dirt and dust. I am truly amazed with this lil lightweight sucker!
It gets corners and close to the baseboards really great, to those of you who has OCD like me!!!
I really like the fact it as a 5 year warranty, just in case.
I love how you can unlock the rollers, and slide it right out to clip off the hairs that wrap around the rollers, and it'll slide back in and lock back into place, so you don't have to turn the vacuum cleaner upside down and work on it awkwardly.
I love the fact that with a one-hand click, you can empty the dirt cup in the trash.
I looooove the fact it weighs 10 pounds and my 8 year old can even use it!
What I don't like, but don't mind too much, is the short cord. And the owners manual says NOT to use an extension cord?! Odd.

I bought the Dyson DC24 from Target because I felt I couldn't afford the DC15 and the lightweight, compact design of the DC24 appealed to me. Let me say, I have been incredibly pleased with the power and performance of the DC24.
That said, when I saw Amazon had such a great price for a new, not reconditioned DC15 -- the one we originally wanted -- I had to snap it up. Wow, and uh-oh were my first reactions (that has to do with why I'm in trouble, which I'll get to later.).
It is definitely worth purchasing for even more robust cleaning power (we have 8 cats!) and its generous array of attachments. It is more unwieldy, though not nearly as heavy as the ridiculous, poor-performing Kirby. With the Kirby, I had to get on hands and knees with a Gonzo sponge to lift hair, then vacuum - no more of that! The good news is either Dyson lifts pet hair without hesitation. The difference with the Animal is that while it is heavier to manage, it cleans even more definitively.
A motivating factor is that I am an asthma sufferer, which I realize is exacerbated by the cats. The asthma's under control with meds, but I have definitely noticed dramatic improvement in my breathing and the utter banishment of household allergies due to such thorough cleaning.
The "Ball" pivoting mechanism isn't hype, either. It reduces all that repositioning and maneuvering.
So then, why am I in trouble? I am an idiot (or not!) because I am keeping both. The DC24 (small one) is perfect for whipping through the house on weeknights when I don't want to have a major production. It's so easy and light, able to get in tight and low places and I am never taxed or tired after using it. The Animal stays because there is simply no better cleaning to be had. I have had many vacuums in my life and if I could recoup my money from those manufacturers for the lousy performance of their Hoovers, Eurekas and Kirbys -- plus receive reimbursement for the extra hours I spent "double-cleaning" -- I could easily pay for the entire line of Dyson products with bags of money left over!
