Dyson DC07 steel / yellow Upright Vacuum

Pros: No bags, great suction, clear dirt collection cup
Cons: Cost, weight, cord not retractable, high clearance doesn't allow for any under furniture cleaning

Our old Hoover died not too long ago and we were in the position of shopping for a new vacuum. I researched this Dyson model on several sites and almost all reviews were positive so we bit the bullet and dropped $355 for our Dyson from Amazon.com. I ...

Pros: Easy to clean, easy to remove clogs, lots of suction and so much more!
Cons: Whistles sometimes

I have an update down in the optional tools that you can buy for the vacuum. About three months ago my Kenmore vacuum started breaking belts. I could have just got it serviced and kept it. But the bags were expensive, $8 for two. I live in a ...

Pros: Suction power, ergonomics, durability, it works.
Cons: Price, the wand can be annoying to set up, this version is missing some accessories.

What is the difference between the models Basically the only difference between the different models is in the accessories. This model is the cheapest and therefore does not have any extra accessories, just the basic tools to use on the hose. ...

Pros: Works great. Easy to clean. Low cost of operation (after purchase). My wife agrees!
Cons: A bit large to get under furniture. About as heavy as a regular upright.

Unlike many other industries, most home appliances tend to have increasing performance, reliability and value as the price increases compared to the competition. Household vacuums fit this description beautifully, and with the Dyson DC07, you may spend ...

Pros: Impressive suction, no filters to buy, easy to empty
Cons: A little on the heavy side. Expensive

We got a number of duplicate wedding gifts, and so I went to Bed Bath and Beyond, armed with a 20% off coupon, and got a Dyson. My husband is British, and has friends and family who have been using Dyson machines for ages in the UK. The cost had always ...

Pros: Solidly made. Easy to use. Even easier to empty. Incredibly powerful! NO CONSUMABLES!
Cons: Initial expense is high. Cord holder placement not optimal. Belt drive not optimal.

UPDATED [February 2006] - See end of review body for details. I think it is very notable that within 2 years of Dyson's initial product launch in the UK, Dyson had the majority of the vacuum cleaner market, bumping staunch old market leaders Hoover, ...

Pros: Superb vacuum suction, easy emptying, light weight, manuverable, nothing else to buy.
Cons: Have to unwind the entire long power cord to use the wand.

We switched to the Dyson DC07, and darned glad we did. Er, it should read I switched to the Dyson DC07, and darned glad I did. To make a long sad story short, my beautiful (but Machiavellian bride) had somewhere over the years shifted the household ...

Pros: powerful, sturdy, fantastically easy to clean, great customer service, NO BAG OR FILTER REPLACEMENTS NEEDED!!!
Cons: heavy (~19 lbs), minor defective spring in handle (gladly replaced)

I bought my Dyson DC07 vacuum after comparing it against other $100-200 vacuums. What sold me was the root cyclone technology and the claim that I'd never have to pay $15-30 for another bag or filter. It's a classic case of 'you get what you ...

Pros: very powerfufl, easy to use and clean
Cons: price is high but you get what you pay for.

I have had this vaccuum about a month now so I have put it through it's tests here at home. I burn out a vac about every 2 years because I have 7 (yes SEVEN) indoor housecats. I also have allergies (go figure) so I use the vac a lot. So I just ...

Pros: Superior design, great performance.
Cons: A bit heavy, non intuitive features.

Like the reviewer before me, I have also owned this vacuum for about 6 months. I first saw it in I. ...

Pros: Cleaning ability, ease of emptying dustbin, cool looking, unique
Cons: Using wand/hose attachment, heavy

I have had my Dyson since February 2003 and I am also impressed with its cleaning ability. It pulls an amazing amount of stuff out of my carpet and it is almost laughably easy to empty the bin for another cleaning. Here are a few random thoughts for yo ...

Pros: Excellent Suction, Lifetime HEPA filter, Easy to clean
Cons: Expensive, A little clunky

I can’t believe it. I’m the type of person that hates cleaning, vacuuming especially. But for some reason, the Dyson Root Cyclone DC07 actually makes me want to vacuum. A lot of it has to do with the fact that it has a clear chamber that lets ...

Pros: Powerful suction, versatile, well-balanced
Cons: Wire storage, a little complicated to configure

We were using our Dirt Devil vacuum for about 5 years, and I just got tired of having to take it apart every few vacuums to clear out the clogs due to poor design and low suction. I decided to get something that would not give me the grief that the Dirt ...

Pros: Powerful, easy to empty, bagless, long telescoping hose.
Cons: Expensive (but worth it)

Well, my 83 year old grandmother's self-propelled Hoover stopped working, so I gave her my beloved Oreck and took her Hoover home to see what was wrong with it. It turned out to be a belt issue, so I replaced it. The vacuum cleaner worked again after ...

Pros: Works miraculously on carpet.
Cons: Not so impressive on hardwoods.

I've had my Dyson for about 6 months now. I bought it because my neighbor has the purple Animal and raved about it. We both have 2 cats, except mine are long hair. I am also long haired and used to go over my bedroom carpet with a lint brush because my ...
