I have had this now for 6-7 years and still going strong! Within the first 5year guarantee I needed the main hose replacing once which was sent out to me fast and very simple to replace myself. Unfortunately it has ripped again but this was in the 7th year of having the dyson and nothing else ever needed replacing. So really good compared to other Vaccume but the hose could do with being replaced by longer lasting, or stronger ones. As I said the first hose lasted me 4 years till it needed... (read more)

Bought the DC07 and was initially impressed with its performance. Unfortunately it has had numerous problems. I have had to replace the small palstic bottom hose twice. The motor packed up after 4 years and had to be replaced.It was smoking so I switched it off. As it was near Christmas I had to wait 2 weeks for an engineers appointment which was Christmas week. They couldnt guarantee he would have a replacement motor if needed and may have to orde the part so it would be well into the new... (read more)

I had a Dyson DC04 years ago and it was bombproof. I therefore trusted the brand and got the later DC07 and I must say it is rubbish. The filters clog so often, I bought a spare to swap and rotate and keep the machine working. I have a normal house but the filters will clog twice before the hopper is ready to be emptied. The motor gets incredibly hot and it will eventually cut out until allowed to cool down. I even experimented without the filters and it was the same. The fittings are stiff... (read more)

We upgraded our faithfull DC07 to the latest DC41 animal, it's going to malmesbury on Friday to be repackaged so it can go back to the shop it was bought from, i put it together & have to say I'm surprised this model even left the factory, it is so flimsy, no way will it out live the 5 year warranty, too plastic, poor on & off button, difficult to lock into upright position then release, we didn't even go as far as to turn it on! Buy at your peril! (read more)

It's not the motor bearings that usually shriek on the DC07, it's the brushbar bearings. It's a common fault caused by the bearing grease drying out over time. You can replace the bearings separately or you can buy a complete brushbar, which has new bearings already fitted. I even managed to dismantle my bearings and clean and re-grease them. The result is no more shrieking. I was convinced it was the motor and almost bought a new one but I strongly advise you to check the brushbar!

I fell for the slick commercials. Spent way too much for a very poor machine. Dyson knows that this machine is severly flawed and should take it off the market and replace all that heve been sold. The brush and suction stop working all the time. I spend frustrating hours with the factory "fix" and no results...been 3 times to professional dealer repair...same results.

The Dyson had run over the cable as I tugged, and immediately cut cleanly through the cable.

The Dyson DC07 has very good suction compared to the DC01 which I replaced with it. It is easy to empty. The only thing I found, again comparing it to the Dyson DC01 I had before this model, is that the suction through the hose isn't as strong as on the DC01. I also find that the DC07 is pretty heavy and noisy, but it works for it supposed to do: vacuuming! (read more)

I am paying to have it fixed, because I think I would struggle to find a better one. Only gave it a 7 and nothing more because of disappointment that the motor hasn't lasted longer for the price of the Hoover. Would advise that you do not overstretch the hose section, as this will split (as mine did). Hoover quite heavy if you're not very strong. (read more)

The Dyson DC07 silver yellow upright vacuum cleaner is the best one I have used, including industrial ones. The biggest issue that I have is the stairs. If I leave it at the bottom, it tips up and it is impossible to hold it and hoover at the same time. Does anyone have any useful tips to help with this task? Maybe I am using it wrong. I also find that the pipe bends, so lessens the suction. (read more)

The Dyson DC07 upright vacuum cleaner really does pick up dirt, and really easily.
It also removes animal hairs, and makes cleaning the stairs really easy.
It is much easier to empty than previous models. Mine is red however, not silver and yellow - a much nicer colour.
It has lifetime filters that you wash, so there are no extra expenses.
The service is excellent if you have problems. A simple call replaced my faulty hose, which was posted within two days. I also received a brand new...

I have had a Dyson DC07 vacuum cleaner for two years, and I was happy for the first year, then it started falling apart. The attachment handle fell off, then the second year it refused to pick up dirt down where the brush is, but the attachment will pick up dirt.
The machine is over-priced and over-rated.

I was a bit of a Dyson skeptic until I bought the DC07 model in a sale. It is the first vacuum that I have owned that really sucks up the dirt. The only problem is that it is a bit heavy. Unless you live in a single storey house, you are probably better off with one of the smaller models. (read more)

I have always disliked 'Dysons' without using them, I decided to get a Dyson DC07 and was very pleased to see how easy it picks up dog hairs on my tiled floors and my carpeted floors, crumbs etc to, it has a nice long cable on it to.
Very easy to empty, just wash the filter every 5/6 months and it keeps the suction to what it should be.

I got a Dyson DC07 silver yellow upright because I had been persuaded that they were the best. Didn't like it from the start because it was difficult to use, heavy and time consuming when applying attachments. I have cats and found that it just refused to pick up little bits of litter which scattered about. Neither would it pick up other little hard items. Very disappointed all round, as even this cheapest model is not an inexpensive machine cleaner. (read more)

I bought this Dyson DC07 silver yellow upright almost a year ago under the pretense that it was supposed to be a good vacuum. The truth is that Dyson products are completely over-rated! It has been a nightmare. The suction on the machine is OK, but definitely not any better than some other similar priced vacuum cleaners. I have a long-haired dog and found that this machine could not cope with cleaning up the hair properly. Cleaning anything with the hose was also a total nightmare as the... (read more)

We have had 2 Dysons - the second a Dyson Animal. We have a German Shepherd and 2 cats. The Dyson Animals says "doesn't clog like other vacuums" - this is rubbish. We had to unclog that vacuum 2-3 times each use, and we do vacuum regularly. The rotating brush part has a small opening covered with a rubber flap. This continually clogs. Plus the dust is not contained as it wafts out when you try to empty it. It still works but we gave up on it and spent yet more money, this time on a Miele... (read more)

Some reviewers are calling these machines Hoovers. These could never be hoovers. Hoovers were an old technology invention which had their place in the fifties.
Dyson - James to be exact pulled up the standard of dust capture and brought it into the here and now. All of the machines can be lifted from a skip and rebuilt with ease.
People insist on talking such nonsense and if the DC 07 is too heavy you should have chosen a lighter model.
Just sit back and enjoy James Dyson's journey...

Why buy it if you knew how heavy it was? The weight is clearly advertised and you can also try before you buy!
You knew what it looked like when you bought it!
Why are you calling it a "Hoover" it's a Dyson.
I have the same model used and abused cleaning up in the garage and attached to a sand blasting cabinet for dust extraction, it's still going strong, as for loosing suction do you service it, seems like your problems are you and not the machine...

First off it's a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner not a "Hoover".
No vacuum cleaner yet invented can climb the stairs on it's own that's not Dysons fault, you don't say why won't you take it up the stairs, has it offended you in some way?
There's nothing wrong with creative style and colour in your life, why are so many other manufactures trying to emulate Dyson?
Speaking from experience also, every Dyson we, my family, or friends have owned has performed brilliantly. Are the machines you are using being serviced? Filters washed every 6 mths etc, or are they being used for years on end without a second thought and then called worse than muck when they don't suck. Maybe read the instruction book and look after them, every machine built needs a service why should a Dyson be any different. I have one of ours in the garage attached to a sand blasting cabinet for dust extraction, it has given me years of service and will continue to do so because I look afer it..

I have had Dyson DC07 for two years and it has done good on the floors, carpets. Cleans well, waste container is big enough and it tatty look seems OK. I enjoyed as a gadget however when it comes to cleaning in tight places it is not that good and you have to detatch tube and use it as classic vacum cleaner.

I've had my Dyson DC07 for about 10 years now. In that time I've only ever had two problems with it. About 4 years ago the suction was very poor and it wasn't working as it had in the past. I called the Dyson help desk and they talked me through a number of tests on the machine. This enabled the man on the phone to identify the problem, that it needed a new cyclone. It cost £35, two days later the part arrived, I fitted it easily, good as new.

I would not recommend the Dyson DC07 vacuum cleaner at it's current price, there are a lot better out there for that kind of money.
If you really want to try a Dyson get a Factory re-manufactured unit and give it a wirl.
My first impression was that, well....I just wasn't impressed, didn't get that 'blown' away feeling all the advertizing had conditioned me to expect, it worked no better and no worse than any other vacuum cleaner I have ever owned and was not worth the price.
