DC07 the original

by Amanda
(Findlay, Ohio)

I am very dissatisfied with my Dyson DC07 vacuum and have been. I used it for a week and was pleased, then I noticed it was not picking up things off my floor like I thought it should.

I called the company and they walked me through trying to solve the problem. It would work for a while then right back to not sucking much off the floor again.

They then told me the only other option was to pay and have it looked at. I paid $400 for a sweeper that lasted about a year. I still have it and use it but my carpet always looks dirty.

The only reason I still have my Dyson DC07 is because after paying $400 I cannot afford to get another one. I will never buy another Dyson again because of this problem and the inability of the company to stand behind their product.

When asked about the vacuum guaranteed never to loose suction, I got the response, it is not a guarantee of the product. Very confusing to me!

Don't use it as a slogan if you cannot stand behind it. Now I need ANOTHER hose for it and that will cost me $40. I have had two of them and they continue to pull apart at the handle.

The lady at the 800 number insisted I had done something wrong. Again I was accused of using my sweeper... sorry if I cannot sweep one a week.

I need to vacuum every couple of days with a dog and children. Maybe this DC07 vacuum is not meant to be used more than once every couple of weeks, then it still might work for me!

Dyson DC07
by: Jackie

When I first bought my dyson dc07 I was satisfied with it even though I found it heavy. Now I can no longer use it on carpets it no longer picks up even large pieces of lint. If I use the hose it still works fine. I would not purchase another Dyson.

My gripe is the heavy cord
by: Anonymous

I love the suction of my DC07 model and have been using it for 3 years with no problems. My only gripe is the cord. It is forever getting all wound up no matter how many times I try to straighten it out. Because it gets wound up so tight I don't get very far without it getting pulled out of the outlet. The cord seems to be too heavy for the part that you actually plug in. I am constantly stopping to unwind the cord or plug it back in and it drives me crazy. But as far as everything else, it has been perfect and definitely does a great job of sucking up dirt/pet hair etc...

Not only suction
by: Anonymous

The problem is that you need suction and airflow to clean.

See Mr. Kirkwood
by: Anonymous

My answer to your vacuum problems. Go see Bob Kirkwood at his store in Cold Springs Ky. He stands behind his product and does it right. My name is Joan Cavana and I own one of his vacuums, that started out with a real problem, until Mr Kirkwood got wind of it. He called me himself and fixed the problem.
