Dyson DC07 Upright Vacuum

by Becky Cummings
(Dartmouth, Nova Scotia)

I PURCHASED THE DYSON DC07 YELLOW UPRIGHT VACUUM FOR FLOORS. IT WAS A NEW ONE IN A BOX THAT WAS NOT EVEN OPENED.

THE FELLOW WHO SOLD IT TO ME WAS GIVEN IT FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT AND HE KNEW HE WOULD NOT USE IT SO THE BOX WAS UNOPENED. I HAD A HECK OF A TIME TRYING TO SET UP THE MACHINE BUT I DO HAVE TO ADMIT THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE GREAT.

THEN I FOUND THE MACHINE CUMBERSOME, HEAVY AND VERY AWKWARD TO USE ANY OF THE ATTACHMENTS. TO EVEN GET TO USE ANY ATTACHMENTS YOU HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE HOSE TO GET IT OUT TO MAKE ANY CONNECTION TO ANY PARTS.

THE SUCTION IS GREAT AND IT IS ALSO GREAT ON MY SEARS VACUUM THAT I JUST PURCHASED BECAUSE I CANNOT MOVE THE DARN DYSON AROUND. IF YOU WANT TO GO TO ANY ELEVATION FROM THE FLOOR YOU ARE VACUUMING YOU HAVE TO TRY AND LIFT THE DARN THING UP TO THE ELEVATED FLOOR.

I TALKED TO THE MANAGER AND SHE TOLD ME FIRST OF ALL THE WARRANTY WAS NON TRANSFERABLE BUT AS FAR AS HELP THEY WOULD GIVE ME ALL KINDS. HELP IS NOT WHAT I NEED. I NEED A VACUUM THAT IS EASY TO USE AND DO NOT WANT TO FIGHT WITH IT CONSTANTLY.

IT IS NOW PARKED BEHIND THE DOOR BECAUSE UNLESS I AM GOING IN A STRAIGHT ROW ANYBODY WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. FOLK’S DO NOT BUY AN UPRIGHT FROM DYSON.

THE ONLY MACHINES THAT I TESTED THAT WERE GOOD (AFTER THE FACT) WERE THE HAND HELD ONE AND THE CANISTER ONE. BOTH ARE GOOD BUT AS FAR AS THE SUCTION I FOUND OUT MY KENMORE SUPREME HAS AS MUCH SUCTION AS THE DYSON DC07 VACUUM THAT IS PARKED BEHIND MY DOOR AND WAS A HECK OF A LOT CHEAPER AND EASIER TO USE.

I PAID 450.00 FOR THIS MACHINE THAT IS NOW IDLE AND HATE TO SELL IT BECAUSE I AM ONLY PASSING MY BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD MACHINE ON TO SOMEBODY ELSE THAT DID NOT DO RESEARCH BEFORE HAND AS I DID. THE DYSON DC07 IS VERY MUCH OVERRATED.

Dyson dco7 teal & lavender color

thought i was so smart and was buying the best. ha conned by the best is more like it. also had the tip break off the bottom door and the whole cylinder costs $50. to replace. also the holes in the "cyclone cylinder" plug up with dirt and we all know what that does for suction. they get a lot of free advertisement from me.

i share my experience whenever i see someone looking at a dyson cleaner or wander into the vacuum cleaner area of a store and a clerk wants to help me. The Dyson DC07 is a very overpriced piece of plastic junk. next time i buy it will be a cheap throw away. they work just as well and when it quits performing as it should, my pocketbook doesn't feel as big a sting.

I got this model because i have pets and dyson is supposed to be the best. the suction is good and for the most part its easy to use except for the hose attachment, dosent reach very far and is kind of a pain to put back.I spent $475. on sale. less than 3 months later the foot pedal broke for no reason it just got stuck. i think these vacuums are over rated and i have read more bad than good on them. what is a good vacuum out there?

Dyson DC07
by: Catherine

My Dyson DC07 was a Christmas gift 5 years ago, I think it is the best gift i ever received, i use it every day or almost and it is as good as the day i got it. i have three dogs and two cats and my rugs come up like new every time. the only part i ever had to replace was the hose catch because I dropped it down the stairs and chipped the corner of it.

I would recommend this to anyone, Dyson costs more but it does a great job and in the long term you save hassle from NO suction machines and money not buying expensive bags that get thrown away..

DC08

I have a DC08 and have the same problems. It is very difficult to manouvre and doesn't suction that well. I think it is a highly overrated product!

Parts break
by: Anonymous

We have had the DC07 for about 8 years, after the first year the carpet attachment broke, then a year later the plastic bottom where you empty the dirt out of broke and then about a year ago the hose came apart. This past weekend the vacuum stopped working after using it for about 10 minutes, it overheats, you have to let it sit for about 1-2 hours and then you can use it again. The suction is good but the vacuum parts are made very cheap.

I also have a Dyson and do not like it. It is very heavy and I also hate fighting to get the tube out of and back into it's housing. I paid 600.00 for mine!
