Previous issues have been fixed,
The purpose of this review is not to be complete, but rather append to Keith Rogers’ thorough review.
Before the DC23, I owned the Dyson DC08 cylinder vacuum with a Root Cyclone and a mini turbine head attachment. The DC08 mini turbine head ground constantly to a halt if you held it at a wrong angle to the surface. This got very frustrating. Fortunately the design of the DC23 mini and large turbine heads have fixed this issue and no longer get stuck. This was achieved by giving the turbine a separate airflow from the brush head so it won’t get blocked.
What I still don’t like, however, is that like all Dysons, emptying the dust bin is a messy business. The bottom of the bin flips open at a press of a button – but a lot of the fluff remains stuck between the outer wall and the inner cyclone. The outer wall must be detached and the whole apparatus knocked vigorously to make the dust come loose. You may even want to use a brush to clean the small holes. All of this is rather inconvenient to do indoors over a dustbin. This won’t be a problem for people who have a backyard and can do it outdoors, but for me it is. And do hold your breath while you’re at it.
Also, since the design is more compact while the 3-stage Core Separator design takes up more room, there is actually less room for dust in the bin. This means the bin fills up faster and needs to be emptied more frequently.
Other than that, this is a great design and a joy to use. It looks like a futuristic alien gizmo, which is always a plus.

|Very happy with it,
Instead of writing a long paragraph, I’ll just jump to the pros and cons
Pros:
– Amazing suction: The amount of dirt and lint it sucks is incredible. Compared to my old hoover where I had to go over the carpet few times to suck out all the dirt, the DC23 is so powerful, I only have to run over the carpet once or twice and the carpet is clean. This is primarily due to the strong suction but also to the very powerful brush.
– I have very expensive and old rugs with tassels. When the motorized brush runs over the tassels, the brush shuts off. My old hoover vacuum would either gets intangled with the tassels or the rubber band connected to the motor would snap.
– It has a telescopic rod. When fully contracted, the DC23 is ideal for cleaning steps.
cons:
– VERY BIG WEAKNESS: The motorhead is so strong (a plus as I described above), it sucks in my delicate and fine rugs. Not only it sucks it in, but it’s also stripping some of the threading from the 100 year old rugs. I wish Dyson had put a level to control the rotator head instead of just providing an on/off switch.
– Again, because of the strong suction, I’m having to empty the canister 3 or 4 types every time I vacuum my whole house, 2300sf. This is pretty minor actually but it was worth noting because my wife was complaining about it. I didn’t seem to mind or care about having to empty out the canister frequently.
