"I Just Think Things Ought to Work Properly"
At three years of age, the yellow Dyson began to overheat and shut down, sometimes for hours. I stripped it and cleaned every gasket, gadget and filter that a fairly handy person could access. No change. Now I'm faced with a $35 fee for an estimate from Sears, which warns me that the cheapest repair on a Dyson is another $70.

I've retrieved my Hoover from exile in the basement. It howls like a banshee, but it does, you know, work properly.

"It makes vacuum fun!!!"
This is a wonderful vacuum. I never thought I could love a vacuum, but I love this machine. It works great and it is fun to use. It is fun to see all the dirt collect in the base. It is easy to clean steps. I have even vacuumed my light shade. It is that fun. It is worth the price.

"Love it!"
I think the price tag is worth just the ease of vacuuming the stairs! Light, easy to use. You do have to empty often, which just means that my last vacuum did not pick up as much!

"Amazing"
I was a little skeptical buying this vacuum because of some of the negative reviews about it and the price. However because everyone for the most part raves about Dyson I went ahead and bought the DC07. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my wife and two cats, and my old vacuum (Dirt Devil Reaction Dual Cyclonic Upright Vacuum) felt like it wasn't cleaning like it should. As a little test just to justify why I bought this vacuum I spent about 20 minutes vacuuming my apartment with the Dirt Devil and then went through with the Dyson. I was floored to see how much dirt and cat hair this vacuum picked up. Just my living room alone filled up the canister. It even picked up the carpet powder that we put down about 8 months ago! I thought all that stuff had been vacuumed up a long time ago. This vacuum even makes the carpet feel cleaner when you walk on it. Now I have only owned this vacuum for literally two days and cannot tell you how good it will work in a couple of years but in the last two days I feel like our apartment has been the cleanest since we moved in.

Of course, there is a down side, if you want to call it that. It is heavy. After going through my apartment about 3 times, I could start to feel the burn in my elbow and forearm. My wife felt it just after 10 minutes of vacuuming. And as many other people have said, it is kind of a bummer that you spend so much money and don't get any accessories.

In conclusion, this vacuum by far exceeds my expectations. If you want a vacuum that can clean your carpets, then this is the one. Yes it is expensive but I am hoping it will last for at least the 5 year warranty that Dyson gives it, if not longer.

"Over time, this vacuum doesn't suck and that's the problem"
I have owned this vacuum cleaner for about 4 years. Recently, the machine started turning itself off after about 5-10 minutes even though the filters are clean and the canister is empty. When I called Dyson customer service, they mentioned that any fine elements (like plaster dust, construction dust or sand) will cake onto the HEPA filter and clog the vacuum. Given the claims that Dysons never clog, I was surprised. Dyson was willing to charge me $150-$210 to replace the HEPA but would not stand behind their product's claims that it doesn't clog. It actually does clog, and there's no way to clean it if the HEPA filter is ruined. I live in Philadelphia and there was not a licensed-Dyson repair shop in the whole city. Given how expensive the machine is, I was very disappointed that they wouldn't stand behind the product after I had been evangalizing it to friends and family for years. I've changed my tune: it may work well for a few years, but once it's gone, it's gone and once the warranty is up, there's little you can do without investing more money in a flawed product.

What our customer's say!

"While it works, it's great", First of all I should say I don't have a houseful of carpet, only a few rugs, so I thought this vacuum would last many years. I heard so many good things about Dyson and when my old Windtunnel finally bit the dust I broke down and bought a Dyson.
I bought this vacuum on Oct. 26, 2008 and on Nov. 16 the plastic that holds the beater bar broke. I returned it to the store that I purchased it and received another. After putting that one together and turning it on I quickly discovered it made a horrible noise whenever it tried to pick up dirt. So back to the store I went where I requested my money back. The bloom is now off the iconic Dyson brand.
In the three weeks that it did work, it worked great. Great sucking power, easy to assemble, quiter than others, but for $400.00 I expect something to last longer than 3 weeks and to be made out of better materials than thin plastic. I looked at the other Dyson brands and all of them have the same thin piece of plastic holding the beater bar together. It was only used on a few area rugs, not an entire houseful of carpeting. I ended up with another brand at half the cost of a Dyson.

"All models I think", Dear Dyson owners,as an owner myself,I'm in total empathy with your frustation.After
calling Dyson support several times and being made out to sound stupid,and dealing with
assistance that just gives one a preset list of questions,I decided to have a detailed
look at this so-called wonder machine and it turned out to be a wonder machine,problem is
assistance is'nt wonderful at times,since these are people who are'nt reqiured to understand
the machine and must be paid by Dyson,but let's not speculate on what's really at play here.
My machine just could'nt pick up when I use the "big" auto vacuum head cleaner,using
the mini turbo brush did a better job,but so much more time.So I decided to take this
"expensive piece of rubbish apart".I looked at all the blockage areas Dyson points out,but
no luck.Then I gave the little wand,between the vacuum head and suction tube into bin,a
little tug and "EUREKA" it just flipped of,meaning the head has been "losing suction" all
the time.
Looking at this little piece of wand it becomes clear there's only a CORRECT way of
putting it on and this by understanding how to fit it properly.Something a technicain can do in 5min.UTMOST importance is to mark
which end of little wand fits top or button,do this before removing little wand for the first
time.I did this by putting a piece of masking tape on one end and writing either "top" or
"bottom" on tape.however should you get mix-up with ends of little wand,then check which
end fits most easiest into plastic piece and remember that plastic piece fits on the top,
top is suction tube into dust bin.
Look at end of wand and you'll see that it's meant to turn into the plastic end-piece,
coz notches inside plastic piece starts from the front and tapers backwads. place the ends
together,little wand in your right hand and plastic piece in your left hand,line up
beginning of wire inside lttle wand with first notch on plastic piece.Turn little wand
towards yourself,little wand now slides into plastic end like a drill through butter and
turn wand till it stops,meaning little wand is firmly fitted to plastic piece and thus no
loss of suction.To remove little wand from plastic end reverse process by turning wand
forward,that is away from yourself.
Now look at little and look at the end where it fits onto the head.You'll
see,that marking on the head's tube trails back or inwards onto head,meaning that the
little wand must be turned over this marking and onto the head.IMPORTANT here is to check
that wire end,inside litlle wand,just touches notch on head.Turning little wand to far will
damage little wand and cause loss of suction.NOw slide plastic piece gently over suction
tube and your machine is ready to go,as new again.
After doing this properly it becomes clear that little wand is cut to just the right
size to fit between suction tube and head,but it can become unstuck and you're left an
"expensive piece of rubbish" or expensive repairs.
Now we'll enjoy our "expensive piece of junk" coz repairs did'nt cost us a cent.




"Wish I could rate it -10; Heavy, bulky, expensive", I don't know why others are so happy with this machine. I saw the ads and positive reviews and thought I'd bite (and at over $400, too). I *hate* using this machine! Heavy, bulky, hard to store. I gave away my Oreck for this - what a big mistake! It was no chore to pull out the Oreck and vacuum because it is light and powerful (I have 3 furry dogs - and btw, mine is an "Animal" model). No problems ever with suction, power, cracked hoses - all of which problems this Dyson has.

I have to take this machine in yet again to replace a cracked hose. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. I called Dyson to see if there was some kind of exchange program where I'd send this back and buy a replacement at a discount. They were huffy - as if I had proposed something preposterous.

The marketing is mostly hype - buy an Oreck or Miele (at least the Miele has a cord retractor).

"DC07 (doesn't) sucks", We bought our DC07 last year and it is okay. For the price that we paid I have seen better vacuums. The major problem with this vacuum is its suction design. If you flip the vacuum over you will find the suction tube is located on one side of the unit. We have noticed that some debris (vacuuming on the carpet) is flung back towards our feet. This occurs on the opposite side of the suction tube. In my opinion and that from an expert vacuum repair company, (located in Phoenix, AZ) is a bad design on Dyson's part.



"Dyson DC07", Suction and general cleaning is outstanding. The use of the accessories is a little cumbersome until you get used to it. The biggest disadvantage of this model is it's high profile. It cannot clean under furniture or even recessed appliances.

"Better than my last vacuum, ", Though that's not really saying much. This little monster does a pretty good job, it gets tons of dirt in its little cylinder. I am happy with its job. The minus star is because whoever designed it didn't have "ease of use" in his priorites. Its very clunky to put together and take apart - either to empty out the can (practically take the whole front off!) or to use the wand (the entire top turns into a big gun!) That and the thing is heavy! Though the Kirby I desire in the future (I grew up with one, and both my grandmothers have one.) will not be any better in that aspect. Though in the future, hardwood floors would be nice (& cleaner), too.

"Too heavy for mediocre results", I had this vacuum for almost 4 years and I really don't recommend anyone to bear this cross. It is super heavy to handle. Also the expandable tube to vacuum the stairs is so hard to handle that I prefered to carrie the whole vacuum at every step, rather than pulling the gray "expandable" thing..
Is not as easy as is shown in the promotional videos...

Beautiful design and color but too expensive and heavy for mediocre results.

"Buyer Beware...", I forked over the money for an overpriced Dyson a couple of years ago. It is currently sitting in the closet and will go out to the curb next week for trash pick up. Initially it worked great. Over time it has lost suction and now barely has the suction to pick up anything. I despise the thing. I have cleaned all the filters, done research and dismantled it and cleaned out the inside and it still doesn't work well. I have read consumer complaints on the web and apparently this is a chronic problem with the Dysons. At first it works amazingly well but it soon loses its suction and becomes a worthless overpriced piece of junk. I just ordered an inexpensive Hoover on this website and will probably enjoy many years of good service from it like I did with the Hoover I had for 20 years before it died and I wasted my money on a Dyson.

"Not what's it's cracked up to be", I bought my dyson back at the first of the year. I am not happy with it in the least, it won't even pick up simple cat hair from my carpet. I wrote to complain to the company and I found them very rude. They more or less told me that their vacuum was perfect and I was doing something wrong. I will never buy one again nor recommend it to anybody. I'm very disappointed,I had always heard such wonderful things about it and decided to spend the money on one boy am I ever sorry.

"Works great!", This product definitely works great. My house feels much cleaner after using the Dyson (much more so than the last vacuum that I had). It is soooo easy to empty the dirt, dust and hair. No more filters! I would recommend this to anyone who isn't partial to leading a canister vacuum around the house. This is the best upright vacuum I've had - ever.
