Dyson Digital Slim DC59 Review: How It Cut My Mum Stress Levels

As busy mums, we’re experts at multitasking and often take on too much. So when a chance came to simplify one part of my life, I was keen to try it. The Dyson Digital Slim has been that welcome change. After using it in my daily routine, I’m surprised at how it’s altered my cleaning habits and eased my mum-related stress.

Cooking for my family is one of my favourite parts of the day, but it always brings cleaning with it. There’s food on the floor, benches to wipe and dishes to wash — and it never really ends. The house can look tidy for five minutes before little hands and feet create more work. That constant cycle can be exhausting.

For the past two weeks I’ve trialled the Dyson Digital Slim, a cordless bagless vacuum with three times the suction of a standard corded cleaner. It’s compact and easy to maneuver, making everyday cleaning quicker and less of a chore.

It has become a practical addition to our home. I find myself running it over the kitchen floor after dinner without the hassle of unwinding and plugging in a cord, or dragging a heavy unit out from the cupboard. It’s convenient — so convenient that I actually enjoy vacuuming small messes more often than before.

• I can move around the house freely without dragging a bulky vacuum or swapping power points.
• Small spills and crumbs are quick to deal with — it’s easy to pull out and use for a fast clean.
• It picks up more than I expected; a surprising amount of dust and debris comes off floors and from carpets.
• No more ongoing costs for vacuum bags.
• It doesn’t blow old dust back into the room like some older bagged vacuums can.
• The tools attach directly to the unit, so it’s simple to clean the car or sofa.

• The head locks in place so you can reach high spots easily.

• Its slim design lets it glide under beds and furniture without fuss.

• Keeping it charged so it’s always ready — the run time is around 15–20 minutes, which is plenty for several quick spot cleans each day.
• Regularly cleaning the filter to maintain performance.

Having the Dyson on hand has reduced my “mum stress” because I can quickly deal with everyday messes as they happen.

The latest Dyson Digital Slim™ DC59 is lightweight, cordless and delivers power comparable to a mains vacuum cleaner. RRP AU$649 for the Animal model and AU$599 for the Multi-floor model.
