Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dyson DC07 All-Floors Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: The Best Vacuum On The Market
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I have owned several vacuum cleaners in all price ranges such as: Kirby, Hoover, Eureka, Kenmore, Filter Queen, Oreck, Regina, and more. Compared to those vacuums, the Dyson is superior in performance and ease of use, and that is why I give it 5 stars.However, there is no product on the market that is 100 percent prefect. The Dyson does have at least 2 minor design flaws.
1. You can not replace the belt if it breaks. You have to send it in to have it replaced.
2. You can rinse the clear bin with water but not the colored cyclone unit, and that part collects fine dust. I have found the best way to get most of the dust out is to use something long with a cloth on it to wipe it out. Or what I would use is another vacuum that reverses air flow, and then blow out most of the dust.
3. There is no headlight, but who vacuums in the dark?
The good points:
1. The Dyson has very strong suction and does not lose suction power, even when the bin is full.
2. I have thick deep pile carpet and it gets the dirt that other vacuums have missed.
3. With the long cord, I am able to vacuum the whole house without switching plugs.
4. To empty the bin, just hold it over a trash can and pull the release button.
5. It is quieter than most other vacuums. But hey, it is a very powerful vacuum and is suppose to make a certain amount of noise.
Helpful hint:
Vacuum every day for a week with your new Dyson. You will be amazed how much dust and dirt you keep getting out of your carpet, although, you will get less dirt each time.
Bottom line:
The Dyson is the best vacuum on the market. Try it and see for yourself.
Customer Review: I can't believe I'm writing a review about a vacuum but this is worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
A close friend of mine had been raving about her purple Dyson Animal for the past few years and I never paid that much attention (it's a vacuum) until I actually needed a new one. So, at her behest, I splurged for the DC07. Now, I live in a big city and have a limited amount of space, but I have a cat and it quickly gets dusty and cleaning the house several times a week is essential for me. Anyway, it arrived in 2 days, took about 15 minutes to put together and then I tried it. HOLY COW. I couldn't believe what this baby picked up. I cleaned the whole place top to bottom and must have emptied the cannister around eight times. Even the crevices between the floorboards were clean.
I have never had an affiliation with any type of appliance firm and have never written a review for a vacuum in my life. And I wanted to test the Dyson thoroughly for a couple of months before posting my thoughts. It really is a fantastic piece of machinery. I'd read many of the reviews and I didn't experience what the naysayers did about the hollow wheels and flimsy plastic and difficulty using it. It's very sturdy and yet pretty light and easy to manuever. It's simple to empty. It doesn't get that weird, musty, vacuumy smell. In fact, the air seems really clean afterwards. It does not scratch my wood floors yet it vacuums them unlike any other vacuum I've ever had or tried. My rugs get fluffy. It's easy to use the attachments on my furniture. And the suction is major! It would be nice if it had a retractable cord, but I don't really care about that. I have no complaints just kudos for it.
Thanks for reading. I wish you all well!
Customer Review: Without a doubt, the best vacuum cleaner ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this vacuum! And I have always loathed vacuuming. I would even trade with my roommates; I would clean the 2 bathrooms in our apartment if they would just vacuum the living room and hall! But this vacuum is a dream; it's incredibly well-designed. Everything snaps apart and back together, easily and quickly. Using the wand/hose is effortless, as it just pulls out of the handle. You can adjust the wand to the length you want, and the various cleaning tools just snap on.
The best thing about this vacuum is the suction power! I swear it even lifts the carpet up off the floor (but not destructively), so you know it's getting to the deep-down dirt. When I first used the wand, I felt like a cartoon character. I was sucking up the drapes and throw pillows! After I got used to it, I found so many uses for it. My favorite is vacuuming spiders from distant corners of my ceiling; the wand extends so that I can reach over large pieces of furniture without having to get out a step-stool. Also, it recently rained here, and I had three (3!!!) different colonies of ants move from outside to inside my home. They brought their larvae and eggs (yuck!), with one colony stashing them under my cordless phone base, another under my Fax machine, and the last colony setting up shop behind an electrical outlet. My new Dyson vacuum cleaner made short work of them all; all 3 colonies are completely cleaned out, so I saved money on poisons and/or exterminators!
I never thought I would wax rhapsodic over a vacuum cleaner, but it truly is a thing of beauty! You will never be sorry if you buy this item!
Customer Review: No fate but what we make...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dyson DC07 is a wondrous innovation. As we've all seen on the commercials, the cyclonic air path of the Dyson DC07 means there are no filters or bags to trap dirt, meaning the Dyson never loses suction. Durable, easy to operate, and worth every penny, the Dyson DC07 is ahead of its time.
So just how did we achieve such a quantum leap in vacuum-cleaning technology? Vacuum cleaners have remained largely unchanged for decades; why now? Well the very name of the product (and its creator) got me thinking...
Suppose -- just suppose -- that in the not-too-distant future, vacuum cleaners have taken over the planet. Their diabolical mission to "cleanse the Earth of humanity's taint" is on the brink of success. But a ragtag band of survivors, calling themselves C.L.O.G. (Citizens Liberating Oppressed Genotypes), manage to destroy the vacuum-cleaners' command hub. At the last moment, the main vacuum cleaner is sucked back through time, to sweep away the resistance leaders before they're ever born.
Somehow, the vacuum is defeated in the present day - smashed to bits just before its final victory. However, a young inventor stumbles upon the debris, seeing the cleaning potential of a cyclone air path using centrifugal force, a transparent collection cup, HEPA filter, and 17-foot hose. With the remnants of the future as his inspiration, he is able to reverse-engineer the ultimate cleaning tool: the Dyson DC07!!!
So yes, the Dyson DC07 upright is a magnificent breakthrough in vacuum technology...but is it really worth it?
Customer Review: The Absolute Best, with GREAT Customer Service!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this vacuum for 3 1/2 years, and it's never given me a moment's trouble. Everything was absolutely perfect . . . until this week. (Cue: the forboding music!) I vacuumed a friend's house, where it handled swaths of cat hair beautifully, never clogging or over-heating. Unfortunately, I also vacuumed a small amount of sawdust on the floor. All seemed well until the next day, when the vacuum would no longer turn on! My beloved vacuum was completely dead!
WARNING: This is where it gets REALLY scary! I took it to an authorized Dyson repair shop, where the guy gave me a list of 4 things that needed to be repaired, and and a quote of between $202 and $385!!! When I expressed shock, he told me Dyson's weren't that good and that it would probably not last, even after the repairs. He then tried to sell me a vacuum I'd never heard of, for $300! I decided to do some research.
I called Dyson, and the rep. went over the list of repairs I "needed" and said 3 of them were baloney. All I really need is a new switch. (Sawdusts and powder kill switches.) They OFFERED TO SERVICE IT THEMSELVES for $131 (inc. S&H)! For that price, their techs would go over it and clean it and FIX ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I called a different repair shop and got a $75 estimate, but the guy said "it might cost more", so I think I'll just send it to Dyson and let them handle it. I should get it back in 2 weeks, and I'll feel confident that it's properly repaired and that I wasn't cheated. All in all, I must say, THESE GUYS ARE GREAT!
