let's just say that we do not use this product as god intended. it certainly "fits" its purpose for me and my wife for a good Friday night ;)

Overpriced, over rated under performing rubbish which discharges in a very short time leaving you unable to clean a reasonable area, and this has made James Dyson a very rich and greedy capitalist by producing an overly expensive and under performing product whose life time is 3 to 4 years. Shame on you Mr greedy dyson for ripping off the public just to fatten your pockets whilst taking your jobs outside of the UK. GREEDY RUBBISH DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, seek better quality elsewhere.

I read the previous reviews by people and it leaves me baffled why people are negative. I have an average house and no problems what so ever. I have owned dysons since they first emerged in the mid 90's. I have a dyson in each of my rental properties. I believe that there is no reason for tenants to live in a dirty house as the dyson cleans it perfectly. Assomeone said in a review, they have to clean the filter every two cleans. Well, they must live in filthy conditions and are very dirty people. I clean my filter when it blocks, but about once every six months. I clean every week, sometimes twice and no problems with the filter. I hoover all my carpets very slow and it picks up every bit of dust hair and bits of fluff. I can say that my carpets are very very clean. I have 5 dysons in total in my home and four rental properties. They never break apart from the belts when the hoover gets jammed. Once done though, you learn from that mistake and avoid potential hazards that will break your belt. There is nothing difficult or poor about the dyson hoover. It is users who cannot use a simple tool and blame the tool as it is the user at fault. As i said, i have 5 in total working perfectly. Why would someone use a henry. My son in law, swears by his henry vacum. He cleaned his carpets one sunday and i followed up with my dyson to prove the better working of the dyson. He actually went and bought one that week. I filled three quarters of the cylinder from the lounge carpet only after he used his henry on it. Clean your mattress with it too. Gets all that dead skin and belly button fluff out. Peace of mind when your sleeping and no little bed bugs and mites crawling in your ears. Another complained of customer service. I called once only and had an answer very quickly. Parts easy to order online. arrived within days.

Worse hoover in the world!!!!
written by Jedediah on 27/04/2013
When it is working properly it is excellent,but it is constantly failing in its efficiency due to hairs off the dog stopping the brush from spinning..It is advertised as ideal for pets . Overpriced and does not do what it says on the box...

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 replacing which was replaced for free under the guarantee but the second lasted just 2-3 years! Replacement parts have just a 12months guarantee on them which I feel should be about 2-3years guarantee on them. It has never failed me on anything else ever! Bottom hose is still in great condition as other hve posted on here theirs has constantly ripped, but mine has never, mybe they have scraped it against things being rough with it???? I have now upgraded simply because I wanted to try out th ball dyson which has arrived today, (DYSON DC41). I think it may actually be harder to manoeuvre than the older types?! But mybe I just need to get used to it and then I will find it easier? It picks up fantastic though! Even though my DC07 picks up good, I hoovered my front room with th DC 07 and carpet looked clean, I then used the new DC41 straight after in the front room and there was LOADS of dust and dog hairs inside! This model has the strongest suction power of them all and I can actually see it lifts th carpet a bit which no vaccum has done before, and I have a decent thick carpet so just shows how powerfull the suction of the dc41 is! I would still recommend the dc07 to anyone, but if u hav a dog or cat, and you still see some hairs, either clean out under th Hoover to remove all clogged hairs, which will improve how it picks up, but if u really are a clean freak and want to know its completely clen then the DC41 is definitely the best option with the most powerfull suction!

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 year before the vacuum was fixed even although they agreed it was the motor and engineers carry out a replacement motor each day if he had used this they would have to reorder it was impossible for him to carry 2. After much discussion it was possible for me to order one keep it at home and return it via the engineer on the day if not needed!!! The vaccum only gets normal household usage. Finally the wand hose has been replaced 3 times in 3 years. The reason is the design I think as the hard bit of the wand rubs on the plastic of the hose and tears it. This last time meant I have spent the last week in a filthy house and had to give my daughter birthday party in these conditions because the part was sent second class. Furthermore the part arrived today and is wrong. Customer services excuse is that they must have clicked the wrong button on ordering and they will replace it sending it first class which can take up to a week given the weekend is now in the way again. Apparently not thier fault Royal Mail first class postal service for parcels guarantees delivery within 2- 4 working days. I thought first class was next day delivery.

I have had this Dyson for about 6 years now...... It still suck like the first day I got it!!!!! I have also during these 6 years only had to replace the belt twice which I think is great.I love this Dyson but am currently saving up for the ball DC42.Believe it or not but I have even sucked up water with this dyson and the only thing that happend was it started to smell and all the rubbish in the cyclone got stuck to the bin and on the next empty I had to scrape all the rubbish out apart from that its. An amazing vacuum!!!!!!

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 to operate and the whole thing is badly designed, leaking fine dust everywhere, it is very, very loud in operation and heavy to haul up the stairs. It simply is not fit for purpose. Overall I am very disappointed and will not be buying Dyson again.

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!

We have had four, now as a Dyson critic why four? dont ask....wife, families etc. Problems include: Poor suction 2/4 Motor failure 3/4 Last one a DC07 the motor bearings now shriek, the front beater has a huge design flaw. If it gets stuck, the drive belt ( no clutch) burns out in less than 10 seconds accompanied by smoke. They lose vacuum due to the many pipes, un bends etc that are fitted together and start to leak. The motors overheat and shut off These vacuums are terrible yet we get dragged into the hype. Bought a basic electrolux last year for 60 pounds. Picks up more dust and seems a lot more reliable. Never again, only took me 12 years of errors to realise...

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!

Why would u buy an up right vacuum to lug up an down stairs ho w stupid. I've had mine for 7 years never had a problem. I took it apart myself and cleaned it perfect. Never looses suction. Great if u have a lot of carpet to clean. The only thing I can think of is it is a little heavy at times depending on what u are doing.other than that great .

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. DON'T PURCHASE THIS VACUUM CLEANER!

I bought the allergy in blue and purple on 2004 it rips through dirt like nobodys buisness! it gets full in 2 or 3 days my vax took 6 months to get full! it has a clutch. I never replaced nothing except the carry handle which takes 2 mins to replace and eamptying is dust free hands free!I never had any problems I just bought this at my local B&Q store and dyson let me have a 5 year warranty! thats right! 5 years! Its very quiet and extremley light and powerful its completley it also has a removable hose that is pretty long allows you to clean the dust off ledges an things like that.
Has several cleanout points if you do plug it up which is hgard theres nothing to clog it no tools required.
like most vacuums with a beater brush, you do get hair and thread and whater is it that gets wrapped round the brush you han just get a coin to remove the cover i just get a razor blade or a pair of scissors to just cut the haid which isnt very often or fo the suction power on this is very powerful even after the time we've owned this its still as strong as the day we bought it it basically made out of high impact plastic so it doesn't break and its relaly light weight i hope this review helps you buy a dyson! thanks for reading bye and have a good day.

Bought this product 13 months ago to clean a small living room sized office. Cleaner has broken down after 13 months and Dyson customer repairs will not repair the product. Poor product, very poor customer services. I would definatley steer clear of this product.
The vacuum is way too heavy, you need to be a weight lifter to use this thing efficiently. The front of the vacuum is too bulky, it does not fit easily under anything including high fronted sofas and bookcases. There is no light on the front of the vacuum, come on Dyson it helps if you can see the dirt your picking up. Its very cumbersome and not easy to steer - not good for a space with lots of items, you know like most peoples houses. There's no kickstsand on the back of the vacuum, to tilt the machine I have to put my foot on the front of the vacuum, who's silly idea was that...uhhmm now where do you push a vacuum from. The handle is poorly designed and uncomfortable, and the attachment tools, my goodness what a complete waste of time and space. The stairs attachment is only 6 or 7 cm wide, well hey thats great if I want to spend all day cleaning my house. Also the stairs attachment has no pivot, so you spend your time contorting your back whilst cleaning - sorry Dyson but thats bloody useless to say the least. The whole idea of half disassembling the unit to use the accessories may appeal to you, but I like time saving efficient tools myself, you know the kind that make chores easy.
Now lets think of the positive points... oh the yellow bit on top is pretty! And oh it sucks! Sorry Dyson lovers its a definite thumbs down for the Dyson DC07.

Loved my dyson dc07 for two weeks, until ....
cutting through the cable accidentally with the Dyson. I was using the hose under the bed moved around the bed, when it stopped dead. The Dyson had run over the cable as I tugged, and immediately cut cleanly through the cable. The blades continue to spin even when you use the hose, unlike the older ones that cut out the blades when you use the hose for safety! Fortunately, it didn't kill me andI managed to get to the electrical supply to switch it off.
I always make sure the cable is away from the machine by carrying it over my shoulder, but if you bend down to do under the bed, sofa, radiators (well anything really) the cable touches the floor, the Dyson runs over it and crunch, you are very lucky to be alive.
I rang Dyson to complain. They said they made it clear in their handbook not to run over the cable! They said the blades are so fast they can cut through the cable in seconds - they are not wrong on that one! They didn't want to know about repairs and were unhelpful, superior and downright rude when I complained that the safety warnings about this were poor. I suggested a lable on the machine or along the cable, they met this suggestion with the same disconcern.
One think I was told, if you purchase the machine with the 5 year warranty if you don't have the receipt from where you bought the machine you don't get the 5 year warranty. Apparently the receipts fade and after a couple of years you can't read them. I was told to photocopy my two week old receipt so I would be able to read in a couple of years time.
I have misgivings about the safety of this Dyson and have not used it again without a circuit breaker. Personnally, I feel that this machine, and any other Dyson that is able to cut through a cable is dangerous. Dyson should supply a circuit breaker. They customers do not realise they are using something akin to a lawn mower in their lounge. They think the kids and mom and dad can use it safely!
My kids used to have vaccuming on their chore list, they don't anymore, I don't let them anywhere near it, I also keep my pets and my mother and father away from it now, if it only takes a second to get distracted and run over/cut through a cable.
Wear your steel toe caps, I would, if I had any!
I had to have a new cable fitted at my own expense. I have sent the cable to the Health & Safety Executive with a letter of complaint.
I would not buy again.

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!

For me cheap models have worked better than this Dyson DC07 with less problems. It isn't particularly cheap and then it broke so soon!

Dont buy a Dyson DC07 silver yellow upright. They are expensive vacuum cleaners to buy and my motor only lasted 2 years.
My advice is to buy a Henry hoover and you wont go wrong!

This is not a review of the DC07, bit of your experience with suppliers. And you waited a year before writing it? Cheesh, some people...
