thomas gasko.'s Review of Dyson DC05 Motorhead

Good Points

Extreme suction, excellent cleaning ability.


Bad Points

The attachments hang on the hose instead of being more securely stored on the vacuum itself.


General Comments

I bought the Dyson DC-05 Motorhead from Vacuum Cleaners Direct in England. They shipped it to America and I had a special 240 volt outlet installed. I already owned a Dyson DC-04 Limited Edition upright that I purchased on my previous trip to England. I liked it and wanted a canister. I was shocked at how 'futuristic' the MotorHead looked. Like something the Jetsons would have owned. It cleans beautifully, like a dream. The carpets look great and the claim of 'no loss of suction' is 100% accurate. It was a great expense and a great amount of work to get a DC-05 sent from England, but it was WORTH it. There is no American vacuum with the kind of cleaning ability of a Dyson, so I don't regret the trouble and expense. All in all, an excellent machine, better than ANYTHING in America.

    Dyson are nothing but a gimmick, I would not waste my money on one again.
    I see that you are a Dyson fan, when are you going to wake up and realise that you are being ripped off.

    I just purchased Dyson 07, now available from Best Buys in the U.S. This vacuum is no gimmick, unless you consider pulling more dirt from your carpet than ever before a gimmick. Buy the Dyson! You will not regret it.

    Everyone has their own view on the Dyson and I think it is a gimmick. You wait until your DC07 starts to get on your nerves.
