My review of the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Vacuum Cleaner.

Anybody that knows me knows that I am very particular about how my house looks, and I'm especially fussy about my floors! After redoing our floors last year due to our dishwasher flooding our floorboards (!!!) our white concrete floor is now a standout feature in our home and keeping it looking fresh and white is really important to us.

With our 3 boys and a dog that has the run of the house,  I vacuum every day. So I wanted a vacuum cleaner that was easy to manoeuvre, has strong suction and could transition from hard floor to carpets and rugs easily because the faster I can do the job the better! 

When I got the chance to trial the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Vacuum Cleaner I jumped at the chance as I am a huge fan of our Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner that we use for quick cleanups (toast crumbs after breakfast!) but I wanted something more powerful to do the whole house.




Features I loved......

* The vacuum self rights itself if it topples over. This is great if you bang the vacuum into benches, stools etc when racing to get the job done. 

* The carbon fibre turbine head means that I can move from hard floors to carpet and rugs without having to change vacuum heads.

* It's hygienic and easy to empty out the dust and debris. The bin emptying mechanism means you can tip all the dirt directly into the bin with just a push of a button. Also I love that there are no filters to clean and no vacuum bags needed. 

* No loss of suction. Due to the oscillating power of the 36 Dyson Cinetic tips, they prevent dust from building up and blocking the airflow as the dust separation is so efficient.

*The vacuum is quite compact in size so is easy to store in our laundry cupboard.


The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball also comes with other attachments if you want to change the vacuum head for a specific job. They all slide on easily with a click of a button.

The Animal Pro collects pet hair or (fluffy cushion fur!) so easily. 

The Magic Wand attachment helps you dust high shelves or awkward crevices. I found it great for my window sills and in between the timber shutters.






I would definitely recommend this vacuum if you're in the market for a new one or you need to upgrade your old one. I'm all for appliances that make cleaning your home easier!

I was gifted this vacuum to review. All opinions are my own.

Our Home in Adore Magazine - June/July 2015

The latest issue of Adore Magazine is out now and I'm so excited to let you know that our home is featured in it.
The photo shoot was the perfect excuse to get all those little jobs finished and show off our recently renovated white floors whilst everything was fresh and new ;)

Take a look -









The house has never looked so good! 

It's also really lovely to have these photos as a record of how our home has changed over the years and that the inconvenience of the renovation was all worth it.

The boys were all stars and were very comfortable in front of the camera! ;) 

It's amazing to look back and see how much the house has changed since our last Adore photo shoot 2 years ago
