Great for Carpet, Tile, and Hardwood,
I must admit that this is my first Dyson, and I have no regrets on the purchase. For this purchase, I researched online to see what typical customers of Dyson had to say about the products and most tend to love their Dyson. There are also several reviewers online that go through bagged vs bagless and why Dyson is a waste of money. Those opinions weighed heavily on whether or not I wanted to purchase a Dyson (especially since it was much more than I have ever paid for a vacuum previously). My previous vacuum was a Hoover Deluxe Elite Rewind. It did a decent job (I thought) at keeping the carpets clean, but once we moved into our home (over 50% tile/hardwood), it became an annoyance to have to sweep and vacuum.
Most of the reviews I saw online recommended Miele models and I do not doubt that they are amazing vacuums as well but something about Dyson drew me to them. When I saw a DC65 model on Amazon for a much lower than retail price, I could not resist and bought it. I figured that since it is a brand new vacuum and was exclusive to the blue and gold store until March, I could always return the product if the seller was getting rid of a test model.
The box arrived with a few nicks and tears but everything on the inside was in perfect condition. Assembly was a cinch if you follow the instructions which are pictograms with numbers indicating the order of the step. Once assembled, I plugged it in and started testing. The previous weekend we had guests so we vacuumed and swept the house which only had time to accumulate about a weeks worth of dust/dirt/etc. I was amazed at how much the DC65 picked up in the first room alone. This room had hardwood floors and an area rug so I did not expect to have to empty the bin after vacuuming. This is not a complaint but more of an indication of how much was missed from sweeping and vacuuming previously. Next, I worked on two carpeted rooms and used the dusting attachment to clean up a dresser, changing table, and crib. Again, I could not believe how much was in the bin. After emptying for a second time, I decided to give it a shot on tile which is in the kitchen area. One thing to keep in mind is that while you have the option of turning off the beater bar, I turned it on and off to see if it would scratch the floors. No scratches and it actually can help get some of the stuck on stuff off sometimes. Anyways, after finishing the kitchen, I moved to the biggest carpeted area in the house and filled up the canister again. So, three full canisters after vacuuming most of the house which I definitely did not expect. The previous vacuum hardly ever had a filled canister after months of vacuuming. One of the things I noticed was that there was a fine dust in each of the bins and I am pretty sure that a majority of it was leftover carpet cleaner dust that I thought the old vacuum was picking up (in addition to the dirt and dust that accumulates no matter what).
Although I have rated this vacuum 5-stars, there are a few quirks that you may call cons but I really do not feel like they detriment the vacuum at all. The first thing is getting used to the way you maneuver the vacuum. I have read before that it does take some getting used to but becomes second nature after a few uses. The second is the way you lock the vacuum into a standing position or take it out of standing position. The best way I can describe locking the vacuum into standing position is that you have to push it forward and down until you see the two legs lock up and a somewhat clicking feeling happens. To get the vacuum out of standing mode, push straight down on the vacuum handle until the two legs slide down. Lastly, the vacuum is not a quiet vacuum but what would you expect when you have as much suction as these vacuums do?
Overall, I am highly impressed with the vacuum and look forward to many years of use. I will try and keep this review updated with any problems that may pop up from time to time. I definitely recommend this vacuum and can say that for most users, a Dyson DC65 will get the job done across multiple floor types.

UPDATE: I’ve had this for several months, using it daily. Today I shaved my fluffy dog and there was hair EVERYWHERE. I used the smaller vacuum and it didn’t really clean it up. Her hair is so fine and furry, not like hair so much as fuzz, so it sticks to everything. I pulled this out and Wow…it was amazing. Then I noticed the collection tank was full. It surprised me that it still has so much power even with a tank full of crap. I am more impressed every time I use this.
Previous Review:
This is no lightweight, in any sense of the word. This vacuum weighs in at over 20 lbs according to my scale. It is very streamlined for the massive beast that it is. Also, I’m glad that the tools aren’t “on board” and are rather stored in a very nicely made bag, akin to the cosmetics/essentials bag that came with my expensive luggage. There are a lot of attachments and on board would have made this not only uglier, but heavier…two things no one wants to be.
This vacuum goes easily from carpet to hardwood without any adjustments on your part. A spring loaded bar under the front carriage makes it adjust automatically to whatever floor it is on. That is ideal for me because I have bamboo, carpet and tile flooring,
Right up front, I have to admit that I am not a clean freak — but honestly, I had no idea how filthy I really am. I do like things clean, but unless someone else is doing the cleaning, I don’t freak out about it. I load the dishwasher once a day, wipe the counters, vacuum and clean the bathrooms once or twice a week and call it all good. When this vacuum arrived I had vacuumed the day before with my Hoover Wind Tunnel (which has now gone to live with another family). I didn’t expect to see a lot of results only day one after my weekly/biweekly cleaning. MAN WAS I WRONG. I have two bedrooms that are carpeted and the rest of the place is bamboo floors, where you can easily see if there is dirt or hair. Anyway in my two rooms, housing only two relatively clean people who bathe daily, I filled TWO canisters with this vacuum. I had vacuumed the day before! There was enough of my hair in the canister to create a wig if I should need one. There was dog hair and most of all there was DIRT. The canisters weren’t completely full…but full enough to make me dump them and start over. Had I really been living with all of that crap underfoot? When I think about the nasty dust mites that have been having a field day down there, I’m repulsed. I’ve owned a couple of Dysons in the past and have always been impressed. I believe this one may have ruined me for all other vacuums. I have owned a LOT of vacuums too. We move a lot and I never move a vacuum — this one may have a ticket to ride however.
I’m not going to list all of the pieces parts and what they do. That’s all in the specs. But the one thing I think you should know from someone too lazy to ever use half of the attachments, the carperimeter (that’s what I call the filthy space between where the vacuum stops sucking and the wall) with this thing is ALMOST nonexistent. All vacuums say they have some kind of “edge cleaning” that really never works. This baby gets right up to the edge. The only place I now see that doesn’t get vacuumed is less than a square inch in the corners, where the front of the vacuum prevents the edge cleaner from reaching it from any direction. As I ran this up along the walls, I was shocked by the popping and crackling of dirt that I’ve probably never even tried to take a hose to. It actually changed the color of the old carperimeter from a slightly dusty version to matching the rest of the carpet. And that popping sound is so satisfying when you’re vacuuming. You know what I’m talking about.
Overall, this is a great vacuum. If you have kids or people with allergies, by all means get this. It is a bit largish for a small apartment. It is also a bit heavy for someone frail or elderly. But if you have the strength and the space, absolutely go for it.
I uploaded a short video so maybe you can see that there was some crap on the floor (put there intentionally) and some stuff along the edge of the wall and this vacuum grabs it, no sweat.
