Dyson DC44 Vs DC59 - What's the Difference?

Overview of the DC44 (MK.2)

Handheld (2 in 1 Vacuums)
But, this cleaner head has been vamped yet further for the DC59 to be made both lighter with a
featured 'self-tightening' mechanism that basically holds the brush bar in place as well as a separate
channel to capture dust escaping -- both contributing to an even far greater & increased suck-up &
pick-up rate. In all, it is obviously clear that the DC59 out performs the DC44 within the 'overall'
cleaning aspect.
They both incorporate a dual power mode mechanism (as briefly stated above), where they can
operate on a standard option as well as a boost option (70% more applied power, which is intended
for the particularly tough & dug-in stains) -- hence with battery life the run time somewhat varies -however: the DC44 on standard mode runs for 20 minutes & 8 minutes on the boost mode. The DC59
run time can actually last 26 minutes due to the integrated trigger mechanism, but with constant
cleaning on the standard mode it lasts 20 minutes & 6 minutes on its boost mode.
Furthermore, they both come with the standard cordless accessory set of the the combination tool
(allows for powered dusting)?as well as the crevice tool & if you get the Animal version of either the
DC44 or DC59 (i.e DC44 Animal or DC59 Animal) then you also are equipped with a specialised mini
pet hair turbine tool intended for the sole use of effective hair pick up. They are also both provided
with a wall mounted docking station for them to be charged on (note: they can actually be charged
separately -- taking around 3 hours in total from dead to fully charged) with the DC59's station also
being designed to hold two attachments -- so it is a great little extra for helping with storage &
keeping everything nicely tucked away.?
For instance the DC59 (Mark III) encompasses the new two-tier radial root cyclone (which is a
significant leap on the standard Root Cyclone within the DC44 model) allowing it to generate
incredibly high centrifugal forces to dramatically increase the rate of pick-up of both microscopic &
large dust & dirt particles.
Obviously, this is a distinct benefit of getting a cordless stick vacuum over a corded full-sized
vacuum -- the fact that it is incredibly lightweight & easy to handle. However, between each other in
this manoeuvrability aspect -- there is actually rather little difference between the DC44 and DC59
for there to be had considering they have the exact same dimensions (height: 121?x width: 20.5 x
depth: 21.6 cm) & ergonomic design features e.g. the weighting of approximately 2.3 kg with it
being distributed within the handle to give the user complete control over cleaning whether it be
either high (e.g. cleaning ceilings or curtains)?or low & a sense of added lightness. ?
If so, you have come to the right place this Dyson DC44 Vs DC59 comparison highlights both their
differences as well as their similarities across specifications and features. Ultimately this guide aims
to help you get a better idea as to what both the DC44 & DC59 can offer & which one is better
suited to your cleaning preferences & offers the best overall value (respective to their price-tags).
If you are in doubt over the DC44 or the DC59, then I understand how your feeling, I was the same -it is like there is no 'clear' use for them -- but I liken them very much to the iPad & tablets that have
been recently released -- where?if you don't have one - you don't or struggle to see the point in them,

but when you have actually get one - it all begins to make sense very quickly, they offer complete
convienience & quick easy use.
Another real advantage with both the DC44 & DC59 is their ability to actually turn into a handheld
vacuum cleaner (essentially them both being a 2 in 1 vacuum)?-- through simply removing the wand
(which is the 66 cm aluminium tube) and attaching the handle to the crevice tool effectively becomes
an advanced DC34 handheld for the DC44 stick vacuum & a DC58 handheld for the DC59.

Further Information
Moreover, it is fitted with a new nickel manganese cobalt battery which provides it with up to 50%
more power than the DC44 (based on the boost mode, meaning that it operates at just under 100
AW, which puts it on a similar standing to the Dyson upright DC24 model?--?which is?pretty
incredible from a cordless vacuum cleaner) not only that, but they have also hugely improved the
digital motor to be even more powerful (350 watts) & efficient -- now the V6 (a series of?five
upgrades!).?
Should You Buy a DC44 or DC59?
Clearly, the DC59 is by far the more superior cordless cleaning machine when compared to the
DC44 -- however which one you buy ultimately comes down to the value it offers you i.e its
performance needs to related to its respective price tag. The DC44 is certainly a great cleaning
machine to have for supplementing your normal vacuum cleaner in and around the house (I
personally keep it as the vacuum for upstairs, saving me the hassle of lugging the heavy DC27
upright up & down the stair way) but it obviously can't pull off the same kind of cleaning
performance which the standard vacuum can.
Which Offers the Best Cleaning Performance?
The Dyson DC44 (Mark II) offers you a dual power mode: 28 Air Watts on the standard setting &
then on boost mode which it increases by 37 Air Watts (to 65 Air Watts) of constant suction - with it
being fitted with the Digital Motor V1 & 22.2 lithium-ion battery as well as the basic Root Cyclone
technology. Which in all is a pretty decent cleaning machine. However, Dyson have rather radically
improved on the cleaning power ther cordless vacuums -- with the DC59 claiming it can actually
clean to the same standard as a normal corded vacuum cleaner (which I am expecting to be when its
on the boost mode setting)?due to it being packed with all their latest technological updates &
engineering triumphs.
The DC59, however actually could (well just about) & it isn't too much more costly than the DC44 plus it offers a whole range of extra benefits as well (as mentioned above such as the improved run
time) -- if it came down to it, I think the DC59 offers you that extra bit of value that is well worth the
difference in price just for the sheer cleaning power it has on offer. Moreover, I think it can actually
replace that of your standard vacuum cleaner in many regards (obvious struggles would be the

battery life & the annoyance of the small bin capacity relative to that of a standard vacuum), if your
house is on the smaller side & in all is a sound option for those who have mobility issues or are
elderly.

With regards to the guarantee & warranty -- the DC44 & DC59 are both backed on a 2 year coverage
plan that includes both parts & labour. Moreover, they are fitted with a filtration system to prevent
allergens & dust particles from being expelled into the air and are hence to safe to be used for

Which to Buy DC44 or DC59? Which is Better?
Are you trying to decide & justify whether the extra cash for the new DC59 is worth it when
compared to the DC44? Or are you simply wanting to know the differences between the two models the Digital Slim Mark II and the Mark III?
Which is Easier to Use & Handle?
As just established the DC59 offers (by far) the?better suction power of the two but this is not the
only factor that impacts on the cleaning performance, there is also the matter of the cleaner heads.
The DC44's carbon fibre filaments head was already a vast improvement on the DC35's, which
allowed for a 100% better cleaning with the use of ultra-fine & anti-static carbon fibre filaments.
