Tools and Hardware Reviews of Remanufactured Dyson DC14 Full-Kit Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Excellent Vacuum - Excellent OOBE (out of box experience)
Summary: 5 Stars
Got it and put it together in less than 10 minutes. Very easy to assemble.
At $269 it is a great deal. I couldn't see anything at all wrong with my unit when I got it and I looked critically because I don't usually buy refurbished anything. I believe that this one was never sold and used but probably just had something physically broken/cracked and that is why it was sent back to be refurbished. All parts were clean. I only saw trace dust in one area and I assume that was from the final check before it was made available for resale.
Does a really excellent job as you'd expect. I was really pretty amazed by the amount of pet hair that it picked up. I have a puppy that is about one year old and he has a medium length coat. Since summer is just about here he's been shedding. I knew he had but it is still surprising when you see the canister about full with dog hair.
Removing, emptying, and replacing the canister is very easy. That is worth saying since you have to do that will all bagless (I reckon) but not all bagless are this easy.
The vacuum is not heavy to me. If you are petite or very petite or find this sort of housework challenging physically (there are many good reasons for that) you probably need to be looking at ultra-light type machines.
I selected 2 day shipping, Prime, but I got the machine overnight because the shipping center happened to be very close to me.

Customer Review: Can't beat it for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fabulous vacuum! Why anyone would pay full price for one of these when you can buy factory refurbished for this price is beyond me. Ours came quickly and there was absolutely no sign that it had ever been used. It has more suction than I ever thought possible for a vacuum! We have 2 long-haired cats and a 70-lb short-haired dog that shed like crazy and no other vacuum can compare to the Dyson in tackling our house! We have around 2700 sq feet of carpet of several different lengths in our house and it does equally well on all types. Have to be careful with area rugs because the suction is soooo powerful though! One nice feature is with this vacuum you do not have to adjust anything for different lengths of carpet, it is automatic. You can turn the brush off to do hardwood floors, etc. and this works great too. The mini-turbine head is a must for pet owners to clean off couches, etc. It does a great job on stairs also and so nice that the hose is long enough to reach to the top of the stairs! The mini-turbine has a great function that allows you to turn the brush off, so I am able to use it on our bedspread, etc. also to suck the hair off without damaging it. Overall, great buy. You will not regret this purchase and you will be amazed with how much you pull out of your carpets even if you think they are clean... Easy function to empty canister too. Dyson really thought this through well.Customer Review: HOW AWESOME CAN A VACUUM BE - RE-MANUFACTURED DYSON DC14 - ANIMAL

Remanufactured Dyson DC14 Full-Kit Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner - ANIMAL
If you want to see less of your wife, buy her this vacuum. I bought it for my wife and she loves it so much, it seems like she wants, not needs, to use this vacuum every day. Before trying the Dyson, she had 3 Oreck Vacuum Cleaners. So, prior to using the Dyson, she used the Oreck and then vacuumed the same areas with the Dyson. You would not believe how much dirt and dust that the Dyson picked up behind the Oreck. So, now the Orecks go on Craigslist and my wife is a pleasure to be around while she is vacuuming the house. (Just a little joke.) The Dyson is useful for furniture, stairs, carpet, hardwood floors, anything. And, incidentally, we have a cat which means we had cat hair, but not anymore.
My wife has owned about every kind of vacuum cleaner known to mankind and the Dyson is absolutely her all time favorite. I was also concerned about buying a re-manufactured vacuum. That has never been a problem and it came to us looking like it was brand new. Just read the reviews of satisfied users. And, save some dollars by buying a re-manufactured Dyson. There is a reason they refer to this to as the "Animal".
Let it lose in your home and you will see.
Customer Review: Love my new (refurbished)Dyson DC14 FullKit:edited
Summary: 5 Stars
It's now July 2008. The Dyson is great! And when I finally read the instruction, I realized I'd been needlessly suffering using tool attachments with the wand in place... the wand is removable!!! That allows easy access to furniture, stairs, anything. The really great thing is that the rotating furniture/stair attachment works fantastically when the wand isn't in the way... the rotating brush keeps going when doing our carpeted stairs and velour furniture. Cat hair is gone!!! I love this thing!
OK. So I just got it and only used it to vac my upstairs (without moving furniture... just a quick test) and it took me barely 10-minutes for about 1200 sq ft of hard floor. It cleans great! It's extremely quiet, which makes me think it might be broken since Consumer Reports (and some reviewers of the DC 14 all-floors) said it was noisy. But after using a Hoover canister for the past 20-years, this thing is fantastic. Don't let anybody tell you that it doesn't do hard flooring. I highly recommend this vaccuum. I'll give a futhher review after a few weeks of use (and when I've had a chance to use all the tools). Consumer reports also gave it a lower rating for ease of use, but I put it together and got it going easily without reading the manual (don't tell Dyson!).
p.s., the cat was scared, but nowhere nearly as freightened as he is with the LOUD Hoover.
Customer Review: Say goodbye to pet hair and hello to hard floors!
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, I spent about a month researching vacuum cleaners before I finally decided on this one. I LOVE this vacuum! The only regret I have is not purchasing a Dyson sooner! The first thing I noticed when vacuuming was the ease of use. This vacuum is so easy to push and manuver I can't believe it. It would be great for the elderly or disabled. The suction on a Dyson is incomparable to any other on the market today. This puppy got pet hair and dust out of the carpet my other vacuum just wouldn't suck up. I am amazed at how quiet it is. You can still hear the phone ring or have a conversation while using it. It has a telescoping wand that you put the attachment on and you can go all the way upstairs without having to haul the whole vacuum along. I cannot believe how long the cord is! I no longer have to stop midway through vacuuming to unplug it to find another outlet. I have pergo flooring in my kitchen, so I thought I would try it in there. It actually worked! I can throw my broom away. Unlike other vacuums that claim they can clean carpet and bare floors this one actually can. I cannot give this vacuum enough praise! If you are thinking about buying a Dyson but the price leaves you feeling squeemish, buy a remaufactured. Mine appears brand new. There is no way you can tell that it is remanufactured, except in your wallet:)
