Casdon Dyson Cord-Free Toy Vacuum, Purple and Orange

A convincing toy Dyson for pretend play, with suction too light for real cleaning.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Children 3 and up who like to help or copy grown ups with chores
  • Homes that already have a Dyson stick vacuum the child wants to imitate
  • Gift buyers looking for a realistic role play toy
Skip it if
  • There is a child under 3 in the home, given the maker's small parts warning
  • You expect it to actually clean up messes
  • You do not want to keep buying AA batteries

What owners like

  • Looks very close to the real Dyson, down to the colors and shape
  • Attachments are simple for small hands to click on and off
  • The spinning balls and sounds hold a child's interest
  • Easy to put together out of the box

Common complaints

  • Suction is light and picks up little beyond small bits and dust
  • Needs three AA batteries that are not included and not rechargeable
  • One reviewer found the trigger stiff, the motor sound a dull buzz and the clear cylinder fragile feeling

Based on The Amazon listing, Casdon's product page for its current Dyson Cordless Vacuum toy, and three UK parent blog reviews, at least two of which received the toy free for review..

What it does

An officially licensed toy copy of a Dyson stick vacuum for children 3 and up, with light working suction, vacuum sounds and colored balls that spin in a clear cylinder.

  • Working suction with realistic vacuum sounds
  • Simulated cyclone action, with colored balls spinning in a clear cylinder
  • Short nozzle for handheld use, or long handle with a floor head for twist and turn cleaning
  • Attachments click on and release with a button
  • Debris tray that opens for emptying

A good pretend play pick for a child aged 3 or older who likes to copy a parent cleaning, since it looks very close to the real Dyson and converts between handheld and stick use. The trade-off is weak suction that picks up little beyond crumbs and dust, plus three AA batteries that are not included.
