The Dyson DC08 Origin

Advantages: Many
Disadvantages: trying to find some

...Well I've finally bit the bullet and bought what I call and expensive hoover considering I normally only spend about £50 on one. My previous hoover sprint had almost had its day so it was time to get a new one. Reading many reviews on ciao I decided on a Dyson, but which one is best ? well I saw this one on offer for £139 and decided to get it. ~ Dyson ~ The Dyson brand is a very well know brand when it comes to vacuum cleaners and a few people I know have them and swear by them. So what's the big deal ? - cleaning power and no loss of suction, robust and reliable. Dyson also make quite a lot of different models for which ever purpose you require. Apparently Dyson only make dry hoovers which is fine for us. ~ The DC08 Origin ~ Bought it, put extra cover on it and brought it home in a nice big box. The DC08 is...

Dyson DC08 telescope

Advantages: best ever suction, on-board tool storage, no dust bag
Disadvantages: telescopic hose feels flimsy and bulky

...I was a Dyson virgin until last month when my trusty Henry's nose kept falling off so I bit the bullet and decided to pay the £229 for the DC08 telescopic. What attracted to me about Dyson was, to be honest, being able to see my own dirt - errh! but wholly satisfying. I had held off getting one because of a) the cost and b) I had heard from more than one source that they can be unreliable. On further research though, I found out that it tends to be the uprights that have the problems rather than the cylinder version. Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating and i can honestly say that suction wise I have never had anything like it. I'm sure it would suck the paper off the walls if you pointed it in the right direction. After my Henry it did though seem awfully heavy and cumbersome. The hose, especially seemed unweildy and is...

Dirt and Dust Die with Dyson!

Advantages: Superb suction
Disadvantages: Very pricey

...with changing a bag and having to get your hands dirty. There are now a wide range of Dysons available. I opted against the upright version because I have a small flat and thought that the DC08 would better meet my needs as it comes with a detachable hose which reaches about 3 metres. (I was also tempted by an offer in Argos which gave me £50 off the listed price of over £200!) Features of the DC08 include three additional attachments, a cable rewind button, a low reach floor tool, and washable filters. Ease of Use Putting the Dyson together was simple. It comes with a very clear set of instructions and the entire process took only about five minutes. My only reservation as to ease of use would be that it is quite heavy and the less physically fit may find it hard to move around in smaller areas. However, the cable rewind button...

If we split, I get custody of the Dyson

Advantages: It's easy to use and works brilliantly
Disadvantages: A bit of a pain for use on Stairs

...As the title suggests, this is exactly what I said to my partner, ?If we split, I get custody of the Dyson?. Now being a lady with 3 cats, 1 dog and 2 children vacuuming shouldn?t be a favourite past time. In fact it never was, till the day my faithful vacuum cleaner died and my partner suggested getting a Dyson like his mum has. So, there was me thinking, ?They can?t be ?That? good?. But yes, oh yes, they really are. The advantages of a Dyson, especially the DC08 HEPA Cylinder Cleaner are numerous. Firstly, it?s bag less. Yes, no more changing the bag! No more looking for replacement bags and having a nightmare trying to find them. This saves money no end. Especially if (Like me), you do have animals and pet hair is a problem so you need to do the vacuuming daily. The waste unit where all the dirt, fluff and pieces of toys your...

I have the latest DC08 Animal Telescope Wrap

Advantages: Light to use
Disadvantages: Heavy to pull along

...I bought the DC08 Animal Telescope Wrap yesterday on a 28 day money back trial. It comes with a mini turbo brush, crevice tool, flat tool, brush and regular turbo head. I have wanted a Dyson for a long time but have been concerned about the uprights because I have a dodgy shoulder and don't think I can handle the weight. When the DC08 first came out I enquired at Dyson whether they would be introducing a motorhead like they did with the DC05. I like the beats as it sweeps clean aspect of an upright and most of the UK cylinders were just suck. Anyhow, Dyson refused to comment on what was in design, so I sat back and waited. Eventually they bought out the Animal with the turbo brush. Turbo brush revolves with the force of the suction. I have to say that the bristles on the turbo brush are few and far between and whilst the head...

Now that is a Sucker......

Advantages: Great suction, great quality.
Disadvantages: None as yet

...Dyson DC08 Origin Dark Steel/Yellow Cylinder Cleaner. ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- As far as luck with household electricals go with me it is all or nothing at all as when one seems to come to the end of its life cycle all the others soon follow in its footsteps. Any way that is my little moan out of the way, back to the reviewing. I recently found myself having to replace my old vacuum cleaner when it reached retirement age and after searching through all the many makes and models with varied features I decided to go for the Dyson DC08 Origin Dark Steel/Yellow Cylinder Cleaner. The reason for my choice is that I have heard Dyson are top quality and I needed a good cleaner due to having asthma and a very furry dog. After then browsing through the various...

Waging War on Pet Hairs

Advantages: Cleans brilliantly
Disadvantages: A bit cumbersome

...I swore I?d never buy a Dyson. Not at that price. How good could a vacuum be to warrant such a whopping monetary difference? No matter what I read, or how good people told me a Dyson was, I didn?t believe the price could possibly be justified. A classic case of paying for the name. But then 6 months ago yet another vacuum cleaner broke on me after not much use and I decided to face the ?told you so?s? and splash out. After a lot of reading, researching and online price comparisons, I decided on the DC08 Animal cylinder model. I thought that maybe it was the cat hairs that had buggered my previous vacuums, so decided to splash out on a model specifically designed to cope with the havoc pets wreak on your carpets. I paid around £220 for my DC08 Animal from the online Co-op Electrical Shop. This is about £40 more than the DC...

Dyson Die Soon

Advantages: better than a hoover
Disadvantages: falls to pieces

...What can I say Dyson DC08 £269.00 worth of dynamic purple/blue elegant plastic, it has more innovations than latest car from Audi.

Goodbye heavy upright hoover Hello Dyson DCO8!

Advantages: very effective suction & light to use
Disadvantages: difficult to remove long hair from turbo brush

...I was secretly glad recently when my hoover died as I was finally able to buy a Dyson vacuum. I have wanted a Dyson for some time but could not justify the expense when my 'functional' but heavy Hoover was still working. The Dyson is worth every penny I paid for it and Vacuuming for me is no longer a 'chore'. It is such a pleasure to use the DC08 after using a heavy upright hoover. In comparison to my Hoover the DC08 is so light & easy to use. The suction is brilliant and it was amazing the amount of dirt that came out of my carpet the first time I used the Dyson. I really like the adjustable 'wand' which allows you to have the handle at the correct height. No more backaches caused by bending in an awkward way while vacuuming. I also like the clear cylinder - it makes it so much easier to see those wretched little pieces of lego...

Dyson are superb

Advantages: no loss of suction
Disadvantages: none

...I got my Dyson about two years ago. The DC08 was the newest of the bunch and I'd been pining after one for a very long time. I bought mine from an employee of Dyson for £100 and was not dissapointed. The vacuum is permanently strong and maybe the previous reviewer should contact the Dyson helpline as it sounds like there may be something wrong. I've been delighted with my machine, it has a myriad of different attachments that fit well and cause no loss of suction. The cable rewinds itself so no storage problems with cable getting hooked up everywhere. The hose, tube and head store on the cylinder so that also requires very little room though the hose does tend to tip slightly sideways meaning I have to shove it a whole foot back against the wall when I want to get past it to go into the garage......... I have purchased a really...
