Live Like a Lady: A Dyson As Your Downstairs Staff
To facilitate today’s discussion on the Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright 214580-01, Dyson has provided me with a unit to review.
Do you ever wish you were a lady, like Lady Gratham, in Downton Abbey? I sure the heck do! I think it would so fun to have all that staff to help me with all the chores in life and I could just oversee it all!
Alas, it’s not meant to be for me…at least not at the moment. So I have to do all my own housekeeping. One of the most drudgery chores, in my humble opinion, is vacuuming. My vacuums have always seemed to be so hard to wield and I have to keep bending to get utensils, change carpet heights and am just constantly fiddling with something. An upgrade is what I needed!
Vacuum Like a Lady: Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright 214580-01
I have never had a upscale vacuum and certainly not a Dyson! I love my choice. I had my Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright Vacuum 214580-01 out of the box and assembled in 5 minutes (hint: use the little instruction card that comes with it) and it took me about another 10 minutes to put the accessories on (this is mainly due to the fact that I am blonde and menopausal…but that’s a different story).
Before turning the Dyson on, I already saw features I knew I was going to love!
–All the tools are in easy reach and part of the unit
–I don’t have to change hoses or reconnect things to edge the floors, just extend the hose and attach an accessory to the end if I wish
–The cord was nice and heavy
–The dust bin was easy to remove and had a hands-clean chute that easily popped open
–The hoses were long enough to vacuum the stairs without me schlepping the vacuum up and down the stairs (HUGELY important to keep me for feeling like a lady)
Then I powered on the unit! Wowza! I was blown away by the maneuverability. You actually have to try a Dyson, due to it’s use of the ball technology, to comprehend how it can take turns, curves and edges with a one handed flick of your wrist. It’s just so dang easy…I felt like I should have been vacuuming in heels and pearls. There is no comparison to a standard wheeled vacuum which just feels like you are constantly lugging it around.
The next thing I noticed was that as I changed surfaces from wood floor to carpet to rug, I didn’t have to crank any switches on the vacuum. The Dyson just instantly seemed to adjust. I know my husband will love that as he has a bad back and can’t stand bending to adjust the vacuum.
I find the stairs to be one of my biggest vacuuming challenges!
Vacuuming the stairs was as easy as I first thought with the Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright, I just pulled out the hose, attached the carpet brush and was able to vacuum all the stairs without moving the unit from it’s spot at the bottom of the stairs.
It almost made me sick when I saw how much dust and yuck the Dyson vacuumed up (unlike other bloggers–I won’t be giving you a shot of that–you get it). Obviously my cheaper model was not doing the job it should have been. The Dyson easily picked up fuzz, hair and a few pumpkin seeds (don’t ask).

The Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright has a lot of great added features and technical things that I am sure you will love too. The one that I like the best is that Dyson upright vacuums have whole-machine HEPA filtration, capturing over 99% of pollen, mold, and bacteria – keeping them trapped in the bin.
But we all know that a vacuum can have a zillion features, but if it doesn’t do the job and improve the task, you either won’t vacuum or even if you do, the job isn’t getting done right. I love my new Dyson…and I can recommend it heartily to you. I might even admit to say I enjoy vacuuming now…like a Lady.

I love Dyson, I have one and it is hands down the best vacuum yet.
Wow! a bagless vacuum – I could get used to that!
This would be an amazing helper for me cleaning the house! I will have to look into this thanks for the info on it!
A Dyson is on my cleaning bucket list, lol. It is such an awesome and timeless machine!
I love my dyson! I have the animal and could not imagine existing without it! the pet grooming tool is a lifesaver
Oh my goodness I want a Dyson so bad! I’ve heard so many great things about them.

EASY PUSH

SUCKSHION
YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU BLESSED BE ????????????????
What a fantastic machine. I love my Kirby but it is so heavy and with my arthritis, it is getting harder and harder to pull out the Kirby. I love that the Dyson hose was long enough to not have to carry it along the steps.
We have a Dyson and I absolutely love it. Will never own another brand ever!
i have heard only good things about Dyson…and yours looks really snazzy. I also like the crown. nice touch. lol
If it is truly light, than I really need it. My vacuum works well ,but is too heavy and cumbersome. I’m handicapped and it would be a blessing to have a light vacuum.
Your Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright Vacuum 214580-01 sounds wonderful, I would love to have one. I love that it comes with a two year warranty, awesome.
I used to have a Dyson. I loved it and then it died so I had to get another one. Now, I use a Shark and it is my favorite. But Dyson is my second favorite.
Omgosh do I love our Dyson so much!! Its seriously AMAZING right?!?! Ours is more heavy duty so no ball for us, but the suck power is crazy!! I know Im getting my floors clean!!
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Dyson vacuum cleaners. I’ve never had the chance to try one. So glad you are happy with yours.
We have a Dyson and love it! It is so easy to push and cleans the carpet so much better than other vacuums!
First thing I thought of when I read this post was Robin Williams vacuuming in Mrs. Doubtfire, lol. Sounds like a good vacuum!
I have wanted a Dyson since like forever. I ask for one every year for Christmas, but I think my husband thinks he’s going to get in trouble getting me a vacuum for Christmas, so I never get one. I just need to go buy it myself I think 🙂
For years, I used my $40 vacuum from Walmart. I figured a vacuum was a vacuum. It wasn’t until I used my mom’s Dyson that I saw what I huge difference there was. Just like you, I was disgusted how much dirt and gunk the Dyson picked up that my cheap vacuum missed. I can never go back!
Dyson makes a great vacuum, and this one sounds like another winner. Love that it can adjust as you change floor types. Another plus was how easy it was for you to add attachments. Thans for the honest review. Happy Vacuuming!
