Dyson DC14 All floors Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: Vacuum works great.
Cons: Customer service leaves everything to be desired.

We puchased our DC14 from Super Target. As soon as we got it home we tried it out. It worked great. Sucked up pet hair like a dream as well as every particle of dirt. Let's fast forward. Fourth day we have our Dyson my husband is vacuuming the living ...

Pros: Great vac for carpet and wood floors. 
Cons: Disengaging the wand is a nightmare! Finally gave up!

Three years ago, I purchased the Dyson DC07. Love it so much, that after moving to a two-story w/basement, I wanted a vac on each level so I wouldn't have to cart up & down. I purchased another DC07 and the DC14. Since I have 3 staircases ...

Pros: status symbol, clear canister to see when it is full, adjustable vacuum height
Cons: too much vacuum power, heavy and requires effort to use, no edge vacuuming

I must have been drawn in by all the gushing I had read and heard to fork out the $469 for the Dyson DC14, which included a $50 Target gift card. When the woman who helps me clean my home first saw it, she said rather flatly, "Oh, you got a Dyson." Her tone prompted me to ask her experience with the brand and thereby her opinion. She said the ones she had used were okay but not her favorite to use. She was particularly miffed at the lack of edge cleaning. So, with doubt instilled in my mind, I tried it out on a room-sized area rug and was amazed at all the stuff filling the canister; however, to my shock that STUFF was carpet fiber. I tried it on the wall-to-wall carpet and had no similar problem. Due to my twenty years of using a self-propelled vacuum, I was also disappointed with having to push and pull it with albeit moderate effort. After little more consideration,I cleaned the machine, repacked it, and returned it a few days later, feeling as if I had been suckered. Fortunately, the store accepted it with no problems.

Pros: Good suction
Cons: Cost, breaks, no support

I had mine a whole 24 hours before it broke.
The brush control that they hype over and over stopped working...so all I had was suction. Suction won't clean a carpet.
Tried calling their help line that they also hype in the literature that you get when you purchase the unit. They keep repeating "call the help line if you encounter a problem". Well...you only better encounter a problem during their normal business hours. This is like buying a Mercedes, breaking down, calling their roadside assistance and getting a recording to call back. Your breakdown is just not convenient for them at that particular time.
So, I tried their online help. That was not working. Maybe it got so overloaded that the site crashed.
One thing I did notice while trying to get it to work...if you ever want to replace a belt (which is very straightforward on virtually all vacuums) you will have to take it in the shop.
I'm returning mine. $550 for one day's use seems a bit steep to me.

Pros: very powerfull. easy to use.
Cons: no light. hose kind of tricky at longer distances.

WOW. This thing works great. I was worried about the noise mentioned on here by others. The noise only happends when you vacuum over a loose rug and the noise is protecting the vacuum. The difference between the different dc14's is just where you buy it. I bought the FULL KIT. You can only buy them at costco. This thing picked up soo much dirt and dust and hair I could not believe it. Easy to push around. Very easy to empty. The hose is easy to use at close distances.

Pros: Max Suction Power
Cons: Can not find any yet

The body of this vac is very unique. I have not found one issue that has not satisfied my needs. Everything seems to work the way I need it to when I need it to.

Pros: Maximum suction even when canister is nearly full. Good edge cleaning. Adequate tools.
Cons: The wand and hose are a little cumbersome. No light.

I have a small house, about 1500 square feet, but four Pomeranians who spend a great deal of time indoors. If you know the breed, you know they are hair factories. My previous vacuum, a Hoover Whirlwind, was a dismal failure at keeping up with the dogs. Once the canister got even partly filled, the suction would go way down and I would have to go over sections several times to get them clean. Besides having to empty the canister constantly, the filter needed constant cleaning.

The Dyson DC14 is a dream by comparison. It is the best vacuum I have ever owned, and that includes one of the old Kirbys. Just to make a comparison, I vacuumed a section of my house with the Hoover when I came home with the Dyson (the filter and canister on the Hoover were clean). Then, I went over the same area with the Dyson. Dog hair galore! And if it picked up all that dog hair, I can imagine there was a lot more.

Pros: NOTHING
Cons: BAGLESS VACUUMS DON'T WORK AS WELL AS BAGS, ITS AN OVERPRICED PANASONIC,

I HAVE BEEN IN THE CLEANING INDUSTRY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. IT STILL AMAZES ME HOW PEOPLE ARE LEAD TO BUY PRODUCTS FROM T.V. IF YOU WILL PULL THE FILTER OFF OF YOUR DYSON AND READ ON THE INSIDE OF VACUUM YOU WILL SEE PANASONIC. LOOK AT YOUR BRUSH ALSO. HOW DO YOU EXPECT THAT LITTLE BRUSH TO PICK UP ANYTHING. LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY, YOUR VACUUM DOES NOT PICK UP AS WELL AS YOU THINK. WANT A REAL VACUUM, TRY A RICCAR. THEY ARE THE BEST AND YOU CAN SEE WHY

Pros: Amazing suction power and cleaning; loooooong cord is awesome!
Cons: a little heavy; worth the price, which is a drawback

This vacuum is amazing. I was balking at the price for a long time. Then after reading the reviews and choking one too many times on the dust from my other bagless when I had to empty it and smack the filer against the garbage can, I broke down and ordered the Dyson.
WORTH EVERY PENNY and then some.
Our housecleaner had just come and cleaned. I took the Dyson DC14 and went over the areas she had already vacuumed, and lo and behold, filled the canister with dog hair in about 3 minutes! Couldn't believe it! Absolutely full! Gack! Gross and cool at the same time. I will be having her use this vacuum from now on! Emptying is unbelievably easy and clean too. Go DYSON!!!

Pros: Great suction power, no suction loss, no bag needed, HEPA filter.
Cons: A bit expensive, but with the coupon and sale, not too bad.

It was time to get a new vacuum and we kept seeing the Dyson commercials, so we figured we would check it out. A friend as one and LOVES hers, so we went to our local Best Buys store. It was on sale this week, plus we had a 10% off promo coupon.

We got it home, put it all together and started vacuuming. 3 hours later we had vacuumed EVERYTHING in the house we could have vacuumed! I think we emptied the canister 8 times! And, that's after vacuuming with the Hoover the day before!!

Wonderful - would recommend to anyone!

Pros: Lightweight, easy to clean, strong air flow, good attachments
Cons: the brushbar needs to be cleaned often on the base of the vacuum.

I have two cats and this vacuum does everything it says and more it has no real weakness. This device has me cleaning more than ever because it is simple and efficient. I am usually a pessimist (From Philadelphia) and never believe the hype except this time.

Pros: power, hepa, no vacuum smell, empties easily, versatile.
Cons: hose is a little stiff

until I used my new dyson....I clean twice a week because of allergies and have sinus problems...One good clean with my dyson and I woke up able to breathe, no wheezing. I am amazed what came out of my rugs with my dyson and no smell after vacuuming, no dust residue. I have had friends over to demo it for them. They are getting one. Called the service line today about accessories, very helpful, informative, and called me back with further information.

Pros: Everything from the great attachments to the awesome silver color
Cons: No Zorb freshener and Animal attachment included.

Our old Kenmore vacuum wasn't getting our apartment carpet clean enough. With 2 cats and a basset hound we were vacuuming every other day. And I was only going through a bag every month. Got the Dyson home, setup in less that 5 minutes flat. I vacuumed all weekend long; carpet, couches, blinds, ceiling fans, curtains, you name it. I must have emptied the can 10 times. Unbelievable. My wife and I can smell the difference in the air, we're not coughing and sneezing anymore.
Can't wait to vacuum the cars now.
Love all the attachments. The only down fall is the complete didn't include the animal attachment and Zorb carpet cleaner. But I am going to try to order that this week.
I wish I would have bought this sooner. I would recommend this to anyone with a pet. Its the best machine you can get.

Pros: Picks up EVERYTHING, easy to use, easy to empty/clean
Cons: Expensive, kind of heavy

As previous posters have said, I've never loved a vacuum or loved to vacuum. The Dyson DC14 has changed that. I CANNOT believe how much stuff it picks up. In fact, it makes me feel kind of gross that there's that much dirt in my carpet!! This is totally worth it (all of the Dyson products are amazing, however I wouldn't recommend the DC07 for it's loss in suction). Amazing machine!

Pros: Attachments are easy to use. Purple color.
Cons: Poor pet hair pick up.

I, among many millions of consumers have purchased the Dyson because of its advertised no loss of suction promise. Having a dog and 2 small children, I decided to purchase a vacuum that would pick up as much dog hair as possible. The Dyson does have alot of suction, but it simply does not pick up enough dog hair to be called the "animal". A recent article in a leading consumer magazine confirmed what I thought about the Dyson's pet hair pick up ability-it is average to poor. I think that people are overly impressed by the Dyson, as I was for the first few days of ownership, for one main reason: the unit is bagless and by seeing all the dirt the vacuum is picking up, there is a false impression that you are picking up more than a vacum that uses a bag. Dumping out the container is a mess and needs to be done outside over the trash can, dont even think of emptying the container in the kitchen trash can. Why worry about money saved on bags when you spend 500 dollars for a vacuum.
