Does the bend on the wand make cleaning under furniture more difficult or impossible? I have dressers that are 3 feet deep.

The wand completely rotates - that is, the bend does not have to get in the way at all. If I bend down a bit, I easily clean under a queen-size bed.

It will fit and does a nice job cleaning wood and short carpet. But, the wand to floor angle is a little low and could mean a bit of bending over if the wand is short.

If you vacuum a small amount of hair only on the hardwood, I would hope the function would be adequate, but I've found mine is marginal and inconsistent. There really isn't an attachment to help with furniture. It's sad to have such a clear failure from Dyson. I was previously a huge fan.

I have found that it works OK for picking up bigger items if you take off the floor attachment and just use the wand-- the floor attachment pushes bigger things around but that's about it.

I own both tools and use them for different purposes. The articulating tool doesn't lay as flat as the flat out tool does, thus, it's better for getting under low profile furniture. However, I prefer this tool on my hardwoods because of the brushes. Additionally, it moves easily in a swivel direction making sweeping an easier chore.I find it helps to "sweep" larger debris into a pile, then lifting the wand and sucking up into the canister.

Yes, you may want to use the extension wand on the hose as well but you should be able to easily vacuum under a bed!

I love this mop. I spray the bottom of the mop with Endust (not Pledge) and it removes all the dust under chairs, in corners(pretty well), and under cabinet edges. It swivels on the handle to reach almost any spot. It will push large pieces of debris into a pile, but will not pick them up like it doses dust.

We have an 8 inch chimney. The cleaning system is inserted very close to the ground, so it is bent close to a 100 or 120 degree angle, and it handles this quite well. There are 2 of us doing the cleaning. One feeding the cleaner quickly up the chimney, so the bend isn't held in one spot more than a second. But this is only one bend. Don't know if it will handle 2 bends.

I've found it'll depend on the height setting. I keep it on the second from the bottom for a short rug and it moves fairly well. the higher the brushes, the easier it gets. overall, though, I think it is a great machine in terms of weight. I have a bad back and do well with this rather a really expensive one. It cleans well too.

The one I just bought has a slight angle about 6" from the end. This bend seems to allow you to spray a vertical surface without having to be too far back that the wand would be to heavy to support. It worked fine for me even at full extension but it is a bit difficult to control when fully extended.

I have never had a issue getting it off the furniture. I have cloth furniture I don't know what you have. I do know that sometimes soap helps on something's DONT USE ANYTHING THAT WOULD DAMAGE YOUR FURNITURE. try rolling the edges and then get under it and take it off in a slant.

It doesn't seem to. Getting the head close to underneath cabinets is amost impossible. It just deposits the "dirt" close to the edge, and I have to clean it with a brush or cloths. The head also doesn't clean caked-on dirt, have to do it manually.

mine passes through wood and rug pretty easily. It wont vacuum the hard wood as sufficiently as it does on rugs, but still not bad.....

It will depend on how much weight you have in the drawers above the one you are trying to remove. I have found that it doesn't take much weight for the structure to "bow".

I don't have carpeted stairs so I can't really answer that, but when I try to vacuum upholstered furniture the brushes stop rotating unless you apply the lightest touch possible, which means that it doesn't really pick up well unless you keep going over the same spot picking up a little more each time, which is a pain in the butt. I don't recommend buying it.

I have only tested a couple of the wands and not REALLY used it. I just know that the more narrow the tip, the more concentrated the power, and that it has a knob to turn it up. I barely touched one of the wands on my face at the lowest setting, and it shocked me. I wasn't too crazy about that, so I haven't done much with it yet. All I can say is make sure the wand is pushed in the whole way and if that still doesn't work for you, I would return it. If you are interested in mine, maybe we can work out a good deal.

This vacuum does a pretty good job getting under furniture, but it also depends how low the clearance to the floor is. It appears that if a cat can get under the bed/sofa then this vacuum will too. I can get all the way under my double bed with it.
