Casdon Dyson Review: The 150-Shekel Toy Vacuum That Mimics the Real Deal
A hands-on review of the Casdon Dyson, a licensed toy replica of the famous vacuum cleaner. Priced under 200 NIS, it weighs just 450 grams and runs on AA batteries with symbolic suction power.
For many, Dyson has become synonymous with the entire cordless vacuum category. However, there is a unique model on the market that costs less than 200 NIS, yet it rarely appears in major coupon groups or sales websites: the Casdon Dyson—a licensed toy replica designed to look and feel like the real thing.
Design and Ergonomics
Overall, the Casdon Dyson behaves like a classic Dyson vacuum with no complex touchscreens or confusing buttons. It keeps the traditional design, featuring just one button to operate the vacuum and a second button to open the dustbin.
While the packaging states it is designed for ages 3 and up, its simplicity makes it easy for younger toddlers to operate. However, the length of the wand is strictly adapted for children, meaning adults will have to bend down significantly to use it.
Unlike heavy standard vacuums, the Casdon Dyson is extremely lightweight. The main unit weighs only 450 grams, and the entire kit weighs just over half a kilogram, making it highly portable and easy to carry around.
Budget-Friendly Compromises
To reach the attractive price point of under 200 NIS, Casdon and Dyson made several design choices to keep costs down:
-
The Trigger: It requires continuous pressing to operate, rather than the single-click on/off switch found on newer models like the V12 Detect Slim.
-
Accessories: The kit is limited to the bare essentials, including a crevice tool, an extension wand, and a multi-floor brush head. Premium attachments like the Fluffy brush or a dedicated carpet brush are not included.
-
Power Source: The device requires three AA batteries to operate, which are not included in the box. There is no USB-C charging port.
Performance and Suction Power
While the engineering is visually impressive, the suction power is purely symbolic. Compared to a standard Dyson V15 Detect which reaches 240AW, the Casdon Dyson delivers an estimated 0.01 to 0.1AW. The manufacturer does not officially list the suction power in the specifications. It is only capable of picking up tiny bits of tissue or the lightweight beads pre-loaded inside the sealed dustbin.
Additionally, the Casdon Dyson does not feature a washable HEPA filter or any replaceable filtration system, meaning the unit cannot be serviced if it accumulates excessive dust over time.
