 Oh, it sucks! December 4, 2008

Just bought this from Amazon and am wondering what all the fuss is about. Yes it sucks well, but there are so many downs its not really worth it. I bought it because I had heard it was such a great design but found this to be far from the the truth.
The vacuum is way too heavy, you need to be a weight lifter to use this thing efficiently (I'm a 6ft tall ex rugby playing man). The front of the vacuum is too bulky, it does not fit easily under anything including high fronted sofas and bookcases. There is no light on the front of the vacuum, come on Dyson it helps if you can see the dirt your picking up. Its very cumbersome and not easy to steer - not good for a space with lots of items, you know like most peoples houses. There's no kickstsand on the back of the vacuum, to tilt the machine I have to put my foot on the front of the vacuum, who's silly idea was that...uhhmm now where do you push a vacuum from. The handle is poorly designed and uncomfortable, and the attachment tools, my goodness what a complete waste of time and space. The stairs attachment is only 6 or 7 cm wide, well hey thats great if I want to spend all day cleaning my house. Also the stairs attachment has no pivot, so you spend your time contorting your back whilst cleaning - sorry Dyson but thats bloody useless to say the least. The whole idea of half disassembling the unit to use the accessories may appeal to you, but I like time saving efficient tools myself, you know the kind that make chores easy.
Now lets think of the positive points... oh the yellow bit on top is pretty! And oh it sucks! Sorry Dyson lovers its a definite thumbs down for the Dyson DC07.

Firstly TOP marks to Amazon, (from whom the Dyson was purchased), for their usual excellent service. Order placed just before 1pm and delivered the following morning by 9pm.
This is the second DC07 we have owned. The last one was about five years old but was beginning to loose suction. Probably worn out due to having to cope with the residue from three dogs! A task it acomplished well. There are a few small cosmetic changes from our old 07 but otherwise it retains it's powerfull hooverability.
At Amazons price it's a real steal ...but just remember to keep all those filters clean to ensure a long and productive life.

Difficult to imagine how inefficient my other vacuum cleaners were until I powered up this "beast"!
The upright and the "wand" (the cylinder-like hose attachment) both removed quite dramatic amounts of dirt, dust, fluff and detritus from what I had imagined was a clean carpet.
I'm sitting staring in disbelief at the amount of stuff in the bagless dirt/rubbish container.
I recommend this machine.
Wait until you have to change the belt! October 6, 2008

This is absolutley the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever bought. Very poorly designed from a maintenance point of view. Just try and change the belt (which is very easily snapped by such accidents as sucking up a sock, or carpet thread). Considerable strength is required to stretch the belt over the roller and spindle - not a job for those with delicate fingers. The noise is dangerously high pitched - almost sounding like a jet engine. The high pitched whine penetrates, and I am sure must be over the legal decibel level for household appliances. The wand, for getting to ceiling corners, and difficult places, takes far too long to deploy, and is awkward and too long. The cleaner has a nasty 'plasticky' feel - you feel as though you need to handle it gently in case you break it. Yes it's very powerful - if you need to get rid of animal hairs - great. But it is too powerful for cleaning rugs and small bathroom carpets, and also light weight carpets without sucking up the corners, and snapping the belt.
I definitely cannot recommend it and regret having bought it.

Between myself my partner and my sister and my mother we have had a total of 9 DYSONS that have all given up the ghost. Dyson had a good name once no longer in our family we have all gone over to Henry .You will not see any professional cleaning companys using Dyson.
