Firstly, I do not own a Dyson DC03, or any other Dyson for which i am quite thankful for.
My job entails me working in other peoples houses on a daily basis, and quite frequently over the years cleaning up after myself has involved borrowing a clients vacuum cleaner.
The Dysons have always stood out, but for all the wrong reasons. The design is horrible. The colours are disgusting, and the plastic feels very cheap and flimsy. They flex and creak as your using them, feeling like it's about to fall apart at any second. Trying to remove the 'wand' has literally had me shouting out loud with frustration, it shouldn't be a test of aptitude just to get to it, this isn't the Krypton Factor Mr Dyson.
No loss of suction? Rubbish. They lose suction just like any other vacuum cleaner and are prone to getting clogged up.
To sum up;
* Expensive
* Ugly
* Fiddly & frustrating
* Cheap feeling
* Over-hyped
