Dyson DC14 a powerful sucker!

Advantages: Bagless, powerful, 5 year warranty, great suction.
Disadvantages: No cord auto cord rewind.

...This vacuum cleaner is the latest addition to my home, after my Vax bagless finally gave up. The one I am reviewing is the DC14 for carpeted floors, though there are the DC14 animal and all floors versions. Dyson claim that it never loses suction, and I have to say (at present) is completely true. The Features: Root Cyclone Technology. This means that it maintains powerful constant suction, so that you get deep down clean. Telescope Reach Wand. This enables you to reach high places without having to assemble awkward parts. The wand has quick release and expands for instant cleaning. The vacuum cleaner is approved by the British Allergy Foundation for use where allergy suffers live and work. NB: BAF is a UK charity with the aim of improving awareness,prevention and treatment of allergies. Filters. Dyson DC...

Dyson DC-14

Advantages: upright, powerful, easy to use, good tool storage
Disadvantages: no cord rewind, awkward hose for stairs, bulky

...I bought the Dyson, as I wanted a vacuum cleaner, which was capable of coping with cat hair removal and also had a high filtration level for asthma sufferers. Each DC-14 is colour coded to the special facilities it offers. I have the steel gray and purple version, which has the Hepa filter, extra pet hair mini turbine head, adjustable brush for carpets and tiles plus the standard tools. The standard model is yellow and gray, and does not have the adjustable brush. It is suitable only for carpets, not for tiles. GOOD POINTS For standard use, it is very effective on carpets, and it is shocking at first on how much dirt has been picked up. It does perform much better than my old vacuum cleaner. The clear dirt collection section, which allows you to see how much dirt has been collected, may seem gimmicky at first, but is...

Dyson DC07 Origin vs Turquoise Allergy

Advantages: Origin = Excellent all-rounder/ Allergy = Strong suction
Disadvantages: Allergy brushbar very inadequate

...Dyson DC07 - Yellow Origin vs Turquoise Allergy models I bought my DC07 yellow 'Origin' model, 5 and a half years ago and it has NEVER let me down. I am one of those sad people who actually enjoy hoovering and find it extremely satisfying (providing you have a vacuum cleaner that makes a difference!) I usually hoover for a long time (often well over an hour) and leave the Dyson running for all that time; whereas many hoovers would not stand the test of time and burn out their motors, my DC07 never even blinks. With strong suction and excellent brush action, the original yellow DC07 is easy to clean and maintain (the filter is quick to remove and wash/dry out); although the suction pipe has never blocked up for me, (I'm careful not to leave the odd sock or pair of tights on the floor to be swallowed up!) should something be...

Dyson DC07 The dirt destroyer!

Advantages: It works really, really well
Disadvantages: The amount of dirt first collected might be scary

...The Dyson DC07 is a masterpiece of British quality design at its best. The DC07 is the next stage in the James Dyson revolutionary cyclone vacuum cleaner system. If you have never seen a Dyson vacuum cleaner at work, you may well be in for a surprise. You might have heard people say: ?I could not believe how much dirt it took out of my carpets! I was horrified!? If you have dismissed this as imagination or hyperbole, you will be in rfor a shock, yourself, when you first use your Dyson. The Dyson might seem harder to use than the vacuum cleaners of some other manufacturers. This is because the suction from the Dyson (especially the DC07) is extremely powerful. Users of the DC07 will notice that they do not have to have their carpets cleaned so often because the Dyson DC07 really does so very efficiently remove dirt, dust...

Dyson DC14 Allergy

Advantages: Powerful, doesn't lose suction and a wide range of optional extras
Disadvantages: I can't get on with the angled crevice tool

...I started out with the original Dyson DC01 but I was always convinced mine wasn't as powerful as my mums and didn't remove dog hair very well. After buying a new carpet I bought the DC14 Allergy at a special offer price a couple of weeks ago and I wouldn't be without it now. It almost takes the carpet up with it!! And it loves dog hair. It really does make vaccuuming easy. When using the pipe, it almost takes off but I guess you need to actually be holding it to believe it. The only thing I can't get on with is the angled crevice tool. I much preferred the straight one on my original Dyson. You can also buy a mini turbine head to attatch to the pipe (which I will invest in) which makes cleaning stairs even easier. The pipe is long enough to reach to the top of the stairs in one go. All in all, a fantastic cleaner....

What a Sucker - Dyson DC07

Advantages: Excellent cleaning, incredible and constant suction
Disadvantages: Garish colour scheme

...INTRODUCTION The Dyson DC07 is the latest in the now famous line of bagless vacuum cleaners from Dyson. The suction power is provided in the form of a mini cyclone and deposits the dirt and dust into a clear plastic chamber. The theory is that the suction power remains constant during use, unlike a conventional vacuum where the amount of suction reduces significantly as the bag fills up. Dyson provide you with a lot of theory to explain how their products work (and to justify the slightly higher than average price tag). Some of this is a little difficult to explain without the use of diagrams, so if you’re interested, visit their website at www.dyson.com. You may also have the chance, by answering 3 questions, to win a free DC07! SUCTION The DC07 is based on “eighth root cyclone” technology –...

Dyson DC14 Animal - A Good Buy

Advantages: Power, Specific for Dog hair and Allergies, mini turbine
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, Long reach tool topples vaccumm at reach

...I have owned a DC 14 Animal with Hepa filter for 3 years now and bought it for around £300. I have had very little to complain about. We have a west highland white terrier and a small child so wanted to purchse the animal because of its specific performace on animal hair and the lifetime Hepa+ filter for allergies. This product does exactly what it says on the tin, powerfull and no loss of suction. In fact it still amazes me today to see how much dirt and dog hair the vaccum collects. This product has never broken and has been used three times a week over the last 3 years. It is a fairly quiet machine but has become more noisy over time. The product comes with a 14 stair long reach telscopic pole and mini vaccum turbine head. This is an excellent tool for use on stairs as the mini turbine head has its own built in rollers and brushes...

DYSON HOOVER DC07 -Great for pets and asthma

Advantages: Suction,tools,great for homes with pets,customer support.
Disadvantages: Slightly on the heavy side.

...If its power and suction you want then I can recommend THE ANIMAL. Make sure you get the Purple one as this has all the features that make it better than the yellow one. Its hard to wax lyrical about a hoover but after several dodgy second hand monsters we decided to splash out on THE ANIMAL DC07 from Dyson and its been a joy? if hoovering can be such a thing. Please note I am not insane! Having two cats, dog and two children we really wanted something that was going to pick up hairs, mud from football boots and sand from the beach after walking the dog. I bore you with the details merely because they serve as an everyday example of what this machine can handle with ease. For those of you that are unaware, this machine does not have bags but a cylinder which collects the detritus of your home. This is advantageous in that it...

Dyson Ball DC25

Advantages: Very light and very manoeverable.
Disadvantages: Bit too light and moves around a lot.

...The Dyson DC25 all Floors vacuum cleaner is a revolution in houshold cleaning. Not only is very good at picking up small pieces of dust and dirt,but the filters are washable which makes it cheaper than some other types of cleaners. I love the way it manoevers around furniture and as it has a small and low head it can get under the edges of furniture as well as under my radiators. Something my old Dyson couldn't do. It's very light weight, weighing only 7.5kg so it makes hoovering upstairs that much easier. The only draw back of this weight is that when you are using the extension hose to clean furniture, curtains or to get behind things, i found that if stretched to it;s limit the machine would move around and has caught me in the ankles several times. This is a little annoying as i have had to stand with one foot...
