freelancejourno's review of Dyson DC03

“I bought my Dyson DC03 secondhand from an auction for...”

★★★★★

written by freelancejourno on 31/01/2005

Good Points
Pretty good suction on dust from a coal-fired Rayburn stove. Good edge-to-edge cleaning. Stylish looks are a talking point. Lightweight.

Bad Points
Hand tools are ostensibly unusable-- way too fiddly to use in practice -- and the cleaner is useless when it comes to cleaning a flight of stairs, when it really is easier to use a brush. Dust canister sometimes needs to be knocked back into place.

General Comments
I bought my Dyson DC03 secondhand from an auction for £12 in Salisbury (Netherhampton Salerooms). Yes, that's £12 folks.



The replacement clutch and service cost me a further £38. End result? You could call me a satisfied Dyson customer.



The wand seems very fiddly to use, and I'm far from convinced that it is actually effective.



Compared to my 1997-vintage DC01, the suction appears to be superior.



But would I have bought one new for £250? No way. These things are dirt cheap at auction, and even if I need to buy a replacement motor every year, that's a lot of replacement motors before I hit the £250 retail price of a new Dyson.

Surely the suction can't be that good. Afterall, it's only 90airwatts, and most new dysons measure about 250-300 airwatts!
