Good Points
Stylish (at the time of buying it), Good brand name status
Bad Points
Poor suction compared to other vacuums (always been poor), gets easily broken (wand & attachments). Cumbersome even though it boasts to have been designed for ease of use (weight wise).
General Comments
I have been the owner of this Dyson, from new for about 4 years and have hated it since day 1! I found the Dyson DC03's performance lacking compared to almost every single other vacuum I've used before and after whether bagged or bagless. The attachments that have movable joints have all broken now, the wand's flexible pipe has had to be repaired twice as it broke from the rigid end part of the wand and is now held in with tape. I would not recommend this vacuum to anyone as it is not particularly good in any aspect of it's design or functionality. A £30 Goblin vacuum from Argos has more grunt and go than this DC03 - no kidding!
