$40 is what I paid for My dyson DC07 from the Kirby trade in pile some years ago.when the prospect traded it in-at that time for the Ultimate G the Kirby would be the better vac.Its another thing seeing the Dyson at the Thrift store. | ||

I have a DC07 I bought used for $50
and I really like it. It's not the best vacuum I have, but it is far from the worst too. The only thing wrong with it when I got it was the rug nozzle hose had come off. Two minute fix, and it was up and running fine. I realize I didn't need to, but I changed the pre and post motor filters simply because I didn't know where the machine had been before, and didn't want someone elses dirt.
I thought the DC14 used the same brush roll as the DC07. What is the difference between them, and will the DC14 brush roll work in a DC07? | ||

"First, joe22, your response is CLASSIC...."
Tiresome and predictable. All we can do is pity such a narrow blinkered mindset. Oh, and don't forget we have a Report button now, guys... top right on every post. Yes, Chase, a great price for a used Dyson with the tools even. I really like the red accents. I got my yellow one free from a shop that didn't want to bother fixing the belt and I pulled it from the recycling bin, then set about finding the tools to complete it. I added it to the Contemporary Bagless corner of the Vacuum Lounge. It certainly can't be mistaken for any other brand and it's Forbidden Planet styling has grown on me. Now I want the turquoise one... I must say that my Dyson is the best at pulling up the renovation grit from my carpets like no other bagless upright, other than the Kenmore (LG) Premalite. I'm talking deep down embedded 1894 era sand coat wall plaster grit that continues to appear 15 years after the fact. And since I don't remove my shoes when I enter my house there's all manner of tracked in beach sand and mud dirt that can't be as thoroughly cleaned up by any other PN or bagless upright. I like how it 'tufts up' the cheap carpet, too but I don't/won't use it on my 'fine' rugs. Dave | ||

'What is the difference between them, and will the DC14 With the exception of the Origin models, DC07 and DC14 both use the same brush-bars.

I know there are better vacs out there but...
I have pulled up more of the CarpetFresh, sand and grit from the previous tenant than my Hoover or Kirby has out of the carpet and I've only had it going on 3 weeks (Lived here 5 years). I cleaned the filter that is on top of the bin and replaced the filter below that is actually attatched to the unit. I am both amazed and disgusted at what has come out of the carpet. Maybe I'm becoming victim to the hype but it works like a champ!

Chase,
You will LOVE that vacuum! And that is quite a steal for it! I have been using my DC14 Animal daily since September and have no doubts! It pulls up so much out of my carpeting is perfect my house! Have fun with it! And I suggest getting the DC14 Animal turbo tool for that thing. You would be impressed with that!

Dyson DC14
I got a DC14 a few months ago (a rosy red Low Reach model), and I gotta say, although I was skeptical at first, it really surprised me! It needed a new clutch (the belts were shot), and a serious cleaning (last owner apparently had 30 dogs). I had a yellow DC07, and was not impressed with it's carpet cleaning abilities at all (doesn't grab at the carpet like I'd like it to), but this one seals to the carpet much better, and vibrates it a lot more. The Brushbar looks wimpy, but it does an impressive job. Like most Dyson uprights, It has great attachments that make it so easy to clean a room top-to-bottom. It does a surprisingly great job on bare floors too! And also like most Dysons, it's very easy to empty, and it's satisfying to see all the crud you've vacuumed up. When I use my Dysons I almost feel compelled to find as much dirt as possible.
My DC17 is still my best Dyson, but I've used this DC14 a lot, and I really like it! It's also my prettiest Dyson. Love that foxy color!

I just bought my second Dyson on eBay.
It is a DC14 All Floors model. The seller claimed it is a store demo machine, and it really looks to be in good condition for a really inexpensive price. I checked the serial number with Dyson, and it is eligible for full warranty. I have a DC07 that I really like, so I hope the DC14 isn't a disappointment. How do you think the DC07 compares to the DC14?

It arrived yesterday
and is really in good shape. It didn't come with any attachments, but the auction stated that so it was no surprise. I ordered a set and they should be here soon. It runs great, and I may be imagining things, but it seems to seal itself to the carpet better than my DC07. I'll be putting it through it's paces this week-end.

I pay about $50 for used Dysons on eBay with shipping included so no it's not that bad of a deal. But then people have found Dysons all the time in the trash. I just got a Dyson City canister off shopgoodwill.com for $12. It's all relative.
The Dyson Ball Multi-Floor 2 just came out in 2017 so it's still relatively new. | ||

A couple of years ago, I was at the back door of a thrift store, loading a love seat in the back of a van for a friend and there was a Dyson sitting there with a piece of paper taped to it that said "free". I have no idea what model it was. All I know is it was yellow. The most obvious problem was the plug was missing a prong. I probably had one I could put on it but I just left the thing sitting there. Dysons—and bagless plastivacs in general—just don't resonate with me.

Old threads...
True. I frequent a car-related forum where the mods have set and aggressively enforce a policy that members are not to respond to threads more than six months old. When it happens, they flame/shame the person responsible and then lock the thread to prevent further responses. Instead, they want users to copy relevant information into a new thread and start from there. While I understand their thinking, I'm glad things are not that harsh here.

owners forget too wash the filter, replace the exhaust filter and over fill the bin...they can be a ok vac if maintained. | ||

Yeah I don't get the thread locking stuff either. It doesn't matter how old it is, the stuff is still posted and viewable. I think they just want their site statistics to be bumped up, so they would rather have 40 posts a day of the same discussion rather than just letting someone comment on a old topic.
Vacuumland does have a comment limit though on each topic, but I'm not sure what that number is set at, I think it's 100. | ||

I answered my own question.
Apparently anyone who signs up for vacuumland can reuse someone else’s old user name. If the person leaves the site and the username is available.
In other words if I left the site someone could sign up as my username kloveland and have my history in the archives attached with the username kloveland. Although I don’t know who would want to reuse my username. I tried this theory with the username KenKart who left awhile back and the site said it was available. To me this is a flaw of vacuumland. I don't want my posting history associated with a new person if I decided to leave vacuumland. - Just thought I would point this out.
