Dyson DC 04

...the range. ~~~Setting the Dyson up~~~ The Dyson comes part assembled in a large box, as far as I'm concerned this was NOT a good start. I'm used to buying vacuum cleaners fully assembled and be-grudge doing their work for them. However, as it was, I had to connect the handle by threading down the suction pipe. A process that wasn't as simple as it seemed, I found it very fiddly, but did manage it eventually. The handle then clipped securely onto ...
...it's pretty stylish in a Dyson sort of way. Mainly silver in colour with lime green highlights it looks very modern and almost toy-like. While at first thought lime green does seem a garish colour, it doesn't look too bright, honest. Weight wise it's not too heavy to carry around at approximately 8kg, but can be unwieldy when carrying up the stairs. While I've found the handle height to be fine at 5' 1 and my husband also has no problems at 5' 7, ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...to the appeal of the Dyson machines, but to those few that haven't yet had 'The Dirty Dyson Experiment' (will come onto that later), this review is for you… Personally, I have never been able to get that excited about gadgets and gizmos, particularly those of the household variety. More often that not, you are let down and left bitterly disappointed when the claims prove far from the truth, not to mention being out of pocket. The Dyson DC04 ...
...we HAD to have a Dyson (boys and their toys) – the fact that I could count the number of times he has actually used it on one hand is beside the point. I knew people that already owned and raved about them, my parents included, but I just couldn't see the point in spending over £100 on a vacuum. What could the Dyson do that my reliable little Hoover couldn't ? I was soon to find out. So, one Sunday afternoon (cos that's what Sunday's were ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...why we have a Dyson. Dyson products seem to be inashamedly marketted at males. Let me take you on a whistle stop tour of my two years with this vaccuum cleaner and hopefully help you in your purchasing decision. THE PACKAGING The packaging of Dyson products is where you first notice the products are targetted at men. You see, there are tesosterone fuelled claims on the packaging and little diagrams that really do appeal to the masculine side of ...
...your first clean with this Dyson is quite exciting ... no trust me ... it really is. You see, the dust spirals up into the hoover and you can watch it through the perspex. This makes for great viewing ... you can really see you house getting cleaner. For me the Dyson was certainly significantly stronger than my previous vaccuum and on the first clean this was immediately obvious. Carpets that looked clean quickly filled the dust container and pet ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...2 minutes my brand new Dyson started smoking. I almost cried, what could possibly have gone wrong with this wonderful machine in just a couple of hours. The problem, was the sheer power of the suction. My children`s bedroom is adorned with one of those huge rugs covered in roads and parks, and although it isn`t that old, my kids are just such vandals that it is frayed around every edge. Now the dc04 has a roller brush, and as we all know, roller ...
...crisis is over, and my Dyson hasn`t blown up, I can tell you about it`s other features. Apart from the incredible suction, the hose attached to the back reaches to the top of the stairs. Gone are the days of hoovering half the stairs, unplugging the hoover, carrying it all the way to the top, plugging it back in, then hoovering the other half. The hose itself has an ingenious design. The metal pipe protrudes from the handle, and the pipe slots ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

I first purchased my Dyson DC04 to replace my good old Henry hoover which finally gave up the ghost after 6 years of great service. I thought I would try out the hoover that I had heard so much about and my friends had been raving about. I toddled off down to my local Savacentre and paid £135 for my Dyson (you can now get this model for about £40 re conditioned). When I got home it was time first opinion's were that it look's great and the idea ...
...have now had the same Dyson for 5 years and it is still going strong only having had 2 services on it which cost me £25 a time but well worth it. I have also purchased more recently the Car tool set for the DC04 and what a buy that was at only £35 I got 3 tools ideal for cleaning the car another area the kid's completely trash lol. A hard brushed tool for getting all that dried mud up, a car turbine head which is great for cleaning the seat's of ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

MR DYSON HAS SOME POWERFUL ENEMIES and these dustmites are no way pleased! After our Hoover vacuum packed up, we used our extended warranty to have it repaired. I must say I was very dissatisfied with the whole services from Hoover. Hubby and I decided to visit Alders of Croydon to buy another vacuum, even though we had two more years to run on it. It was our lucky break for at that time there was a promotion on Dyson vacuum models. We looked at ...
...they ent gonna like Mr Dyson Heehee! When they are unseen to the human eyes, they can cause allergy problems, but under microscope, they resemble and related to spiders! Hah! Imagine that! I was amazed that this beauty with its brush control picking up pet hair and dust with accuracy. The woman demonstrated how easy this vacuum could be used. She made it so simple and since my hubby liked it and oh gawd, he is so awful when shopping, he has to see ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...friend told me of this Dyson test which all new Dyson owners should take just for fun. When you get your Dyson home, use your old vacuum cleaner around the house. When finished immediately vacuum with your new Dyson. You will be impressed or disgusted to find how much more the Dyson picks up! I couldn’t believe I lived without one for so long. I actually did a piece of coursework for uni. on the Dyson company, which actually prompted me to ...
...itself shows how good the Dyson cleaners actually are since others are trying to imitate it. The Dyson company provides a high service standard, and is another reasons I chose to purchase a Dyson. If there are any problems they will arrange pick-up and repairs (Although I have not had to use this service). The website is really informative and helpful. I used the website to choose which Dyson was best for me. There are great links on where to buy ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...report if you will. The Dyson range has been going now since 1993 and the story of its conception has been well discussed. We are now, I think, on the 7th version of the Dyson upright vacuum cleaner but do they live up to the hype? The focus of the range was to develop a vacuum cleaner which sucked like no other, that could remove even miniscule particles such as cigarette smoke and cats. This came from getting rid of the 'only way to do it' bag ...
...This review is on the Dyson DC04, the 4the generation, don't you know which cost about £170 4 years ago. The looks -------------- These things were invented by the kind of people who thought Benneton was cool. If you make something look odd and gaudy it stands out a mile in a showroom and before you know it everyone wants one. This model merges the well loved combination of lime fluorescent green and grey. Of course this inspires nothing in a ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...to go and get a dyson as we had heard so much about this amazing machine that made the flattest of carpets look like new again. We looked at the various types of dysons and went for the cheapest upright that was just over £200. Wow I couldn’t wait to get home to start using my new carpet cleaner. Once home I hurriedly opened the box and started to read the instructions. When I opened the box there was the main body, lovely bright yellow and grey, ...
...The assembling of the dyson is easy as its in detailed diagrams no long words for something so easy to put together. Basically all we did was put the tools onto the main body of the cleaner, and attach the ‘wand’ (the handle) and it was ready for use. ***** Operating The Dyson ***** On the head of the dyson there is an adjuster that heightens the brushes depending on which carpets you are cleaning. It can be adjusted for hard floorings and delicate ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...so many good things about Dyson range of vacuum cleaners, so when I joined Ciao and Dooyoo I decided to read what the members here thought about them. You see the problem was that my old cylinder Hoover wasn't working properly, and having to go over the same piece of carpet 3 or 4 times was becomming a bit boring and annoying also the hose was splitting in several places and I was really upset at the carpets looking a state because they in turn ...
...you want something like a dyson then its going to have to be a.... dyson! First there was the DC05 which is the latest cylinder, as I had never had an upright I was almost going to go for this but the salesman in our local electrical shop told me that the upright DC04 would infact be better as we had all carpets except the Kitchen. The one I wanted was the DC04 Absolute. It cost us £229 which was quite good as it should have cost around £259 but ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...first got it knowing that Dyson was quite a good make for cleaning, so we bought it at a fair price of around £190. You can buy them a lot cheaper now. We always used to have problems with our vacuum cleaners, so we wanted to spend the money wisely on something that would last. From adverts and plenty of advertising, we realised that this one looked quite good. We popped into a shop to see the range of Dyson vacuum cleaners, and this one seemed suitable ...
...well, like mine is the Dyson DC04 Absolute version. My Dyson is purple and green. I have no idea why, but we chose this one. It has some grey parts on the back such as some of the pipes, and the 8.35m wire is also grey. So it is in fact made of three main colours. To conclude my review, I would like to recommend this to anyone, as Dyson make great vacuum cleaners, and they do a great job with no loss of suction giving you the ultimate clean carpets, ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...I decided to buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner about 8 months ago. This decision was made with two very highly contributing factors in mind. Firstly, I was seven months pregnant and secondly, I own a Japanese Akita dog, which is very prone to shedding his fur virtually all year round. The two are not a good combination. I had toyed with the idea of a Dyson, after hearing very good reviews from friends and family, who all own different Dyson models, but ...
...features: It carries the Dyson Dual Cyclone ™ guarantee, which guarantees “high dust pick up, high filtration levels and no loss of suction”. It has Lifetime Filters. It has an ‘Easy Instant Hose Operation’ which is single action release, already attached to the cleaner, so no assembly required and when it is in use, with vacuum placed at bottom of stairs, it extends right to the top and remains “stable in use”. ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...quickly! This, our first Dyson was purchased on line after doing some shopping around a few months back. It is the DC04SL. The SL simply means the colour is silver and lime, although grey and green could be more apt! Anyway, a great saving was made over the high street prices, and I’ll digress for a mo, but if you want to save a fortune on your new cleaner, then may I suggest www.vacuumcleanersdirect.co.uk. The DC04 was £170 which included delivery. ...
...will probably know the whole Dyson range is bagless. This ensures a better and more continuous suction system, hence the exponential increase in dirt collection. The collection drum of the DC04 does fill very quickly I have noticed. Over the 2 months usage so far, the drum needs emptying every two weeks at most, and my terrace house is vacuumed “top to bottom” once a week on average. When DC04 needs emptying the collection drum simply clips away ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

...the Inland Revenue and the Dyson was top of the list. We shopped around and opted for the DC04 and it’s Hepa Filter. I have suffered with Hay Fever and Asthma since childhood and we had got to the point where we would try anything to alleviate the symptoms. The local store had one in stock and after kindly declining yet another extended warranty we took our new cleaner home. The assembly is quite simple and the instructions are intuitive. Along ...

A small brush, a dust removing t-shaped tool and a wand for those awkward tiny spaces. The cable is more than adequate and again easily stored on the machine. Review. The carpet has never looked so good. The Dyson fluffs the nap with great ease and no ...

Review of Dyson DC 04

^^Summary^^ My Dyson DC04 has been completely reliable, it picks up everything including cat hair and it is easy to empty and maintain. On the flip side the Dyson brand has reliability problems, its noisy and some of the plastic fittings may not fit very well. ^^Introduction^^ I bought my DC04 from Powerhouse back way back in May 2000, I paid £269.99 and it came in a coloured box. To get the box in the car I only had to put one side of the rear ...
...had heard how wonderful the Dyson vacuum cleaners were and a liked the bright yellow colour. I picked the DC04 as it had the minimal amount of attachments and I didn’t need the extra cleaning and filtering of the higher spec’ models. ^^The Vacuum Cleaner^^ The DC04 is an upright cleaner, it is bagless with a large clear plastic container for the collected detritus, the rest of the cleaner is also plastic and is coloured light grey or bright yellow. ...
