 I Just Think Things Ought to Work Properly September 26, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
At three years of age, the yellow Dyson began to overheat and shut down, sometimes for hours. I stripped it and cleaned every gasket, gadget and filter that a fairly handy person could access. No change. Now I'm faced with a $35 fee for an estimate from Sears, which warns me that the cheapest repair on a Dyson is another $70.
I've retrieved my Hoover from exile in the basement. It howls like a banshee, but it does, you know, work properly.
 It makes vacuum fun!!! September 22, 2008
This is a wonderful vacuum. I never thought I could love a vacuum, but I love this machine. It works great and it is fun to use. It is fun to see all the dirt collect in the base. It is easy to clean steps. I have even vacuumed my light shade. It is that fun. It is worth the price.
Love it! September 12, 2008
I think the price tag is worth just the ease of vacuuming the stairs! Light, easy to use. You do have to empty often, which just means that my last vacuum did not pick up as much!
Amazing August 23, 2008
I was a little skeptical buying this vacuum because of some of the negative reviews about it and the price. However because everyone for the most part raves about Dyson I went ahead and bought the DC07. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my wife and two cats, and my old vacuum (Dirt Devil Reaction Dual Cyclonic Upright Vacuum) felt like it wasn't cleaning like it should. As a little test just to justify why I bought this vacuum I spent about 20 minutes vacuuming my apartment with the Dirt Devil and then went through with the Dyson. I was floored to see how much dirt and cat hair this vacuum picked up. Just my living room alone filled up the canister. It even picked up the carpet powder that we put down about 8 months ago! I thought all that stuff had been vacuumed up a long time ago. This vacuum even makes the carpet feel cleaner when you walk on it. Now I have only owned this vacuum for literally two days and cannot tell you how good it will work in a couple of years but in the last two days I feel like our apartment has been the cleanest since we moved in.
Of course, there is a down side, if you want to call it that. It is heavy. After going through my apartment about 3 times, I could start to feel the burn in my elbow and forearm. My wife felt it just after 10 minutes of vacuuming. And as many other people have said, it is kind of a bummer that you spend so much money and don't get any accessories.
In conclusion, this vacuum by far exceeds my expectations. If you want a vacuum that can clean your carpets, then this is the one. Yes it is expensive but I am hoping it will last for at least the 5 year warranty that Dyson gives it, if not longer.
Over time, this vacuum doesn't suck and that's the problem August 21, 2008

I have owned this vacuum cleaner for about 4 years. Recently, the machine started turning itself off after about 5-10 minutes even though the filters are clean and the canister is empty. When I called Dyson customer service, they mentioned that any fine elements (like plaster dust, construction dust or sand) will cake onto the HEPA filter and clog the vacuum. Given the claims that Dysons never clog, I was surprised. Dyson was willing to charge me $150-$210 to replace the HEPA but would not stand behind their product's claims that it doesn't clog. It actually does clog, and there's no way to clean it if the HEPA filter is ruined. I live in Philadelphia and there was not a licensed-Dyson repair shop in the whole city. Given how expensive the machine is, I was very disappointed that they wouldn't stand behind the product after I had been evangalizing it to friends and family for years. I've changed my tune: it may work well for a few years, but once it's gone, it's gone and once the warranty is up, there's little you can do without investing more money in a flawed product.
