Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Vacuum Cleaner
Review of the Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Vacuum Cleaner
The Dyson DC33 Multi Floor vacuum cleaner is an upright vacuum that showcases Dyson’s signature engineering and performance-focused design.
Dyson built its reputation by fixing common vacuum problems, especially loss of suction. With that goal in mind, Dyson designed the Multi Floor model to clean carpet, ceramic, vinyl, and wood surfaces efficiently and consistently.
To achieve this, the DC33 uses Dyson’s patented cyclone technology, which prevents suction loss—even when you attach tools. In addition, this vacuum includes a stair hose that reaches the top of stairs, onboard tools, edge-cleaning capability, a lifetime washable HEPA filter, and a built-in carrying handle.
The Multi Floor model weighs 17.6 pounds and typically sells for about $375 from online retailers or up to $399 when purchased directly from Dyson. Most importantly, Dyson backs the DC33 with one of the strongest warranties available: five years on parts and labor.

Cyclonic Technology
The Multi Floor vacuum uses Dyson’s patented Root Cyclone technology to maintain strong suction from start to finish. Unlike traditional vacuums, the DC33 continues to pull dirt effectively even when the dust bin nears full capacity.
This system works by spinning air at high speeds to create powerful centrifugal force. As a result, the vacuum separates dust and debris from the airflow and deposits it into a clear collection bin. Even fine dust that typically clogs bagless filters gets captured efficiently.
Lifetime HEPA Filter
While many vacuums advertise HEPA filtration, the DC33 stands out for several reasons. First, it uses a lifetime washable HEPA filter, eliminating the need to purchase replacements. Simply rinse the filter, let it dry, and continue cleaning.
More importantly, this filter traps microscopic pollen and allergens, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. Even when the bin is full, the DC33 prevents dust clouds and airborne allergens from escaping back into your home.
In fact, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has certified the DC33 as “asthma & allergy friendly.” To earn this certification, Dyson tested the vacuum for allergen removal from carpets, filtration reliability, cleaning performance with a full bin, and allergen exposure during bin emptying. The Multi Floor met or exceeded all testing requirements.
35-Foot Power Cord
Dyson addressed one of the most common user frustrations by equipping the DC33 with a generous 35-foot power cord. This extended reach allows you to clean more square footage without constantly stopping to change outlets.
As a result, you can vacuum large areas—or possibly an entire home—from a single outlet, saving time and reducing interruptions.
Sturdy Construction
Some people mistake the DC33’s construction for cheap plastic. In reality, Dyson builds this vacuum from ABS polycarbonate—the same material used in crash helmets and riot shields. This tough construction resists damage while keeping the vacuum lightweight enough to carry up stairs with ease.
Dyson DC33 Multi Floor Vacuum Cleaner Recommendations
Although this vacuum falls into the higher price range, it delivers exceptional value. Dyson pairs powerful suction with advanced filtration, cleaner exhaust air, and zero ongoing costs for bags or disposable filters. Combined with a five-year warranty, the DC33 justifies its upfront investment.
In my experience, most vacuums follow a simple rule: you get what you pay for. The Dyson DC33 clearly proves that point.
