Having owned and tried most dysons avalible, I will say the early dysons are best ones. Easy to work on, perform well, cant go wrong! The dyson dc04 is quiet and performs well, but the dc07 (especially non clutched versions) have absolute sheer power! | ||

Does anyone rate the DC24 it seems to be quite popular? I have owned a DC01/DC04/DC16/DC31 in my time and have no real complaints. | ||

I have used one. I can't quite believe it is a real cleaner and not a toy. It never felt to me like it was doing much in the way of cleaning. | ||

Um
Hi, I I'm not the biggest Dyson fan but out of all the models I've had/sold/worked on I'd say the Dc04 or Dc14 in uprights Dc08 or DC19t2 in cylinder...Never liked the DC11. I had a demo of the DC41,DC40,DC39 at one of my suppliers a few weeks ago.
Ummm I think I'll say not my cup of tea;o) James:o) | ||

Considering that the DC14 was a lot like the DC07, I have no idea why I too don't like the DC14. I have used both. My own cleaner is a DC07 purple/blue. | ||

clutch, non-clutch? You guys seem to lean towards the non-clutch Dysons. Is there any way to tell just by looking at the outside of the vacuum or at a picture? Why is non-clutch better? | ||

The clutched models usualy have a knob on the left hand side (if you are looking at the cleaner from the front) which if turned engages or disengages the brushroll. | ||

A non clutch has a dip where the clutch would be, as can been seen in my picture! | ||

Well one of the Dyson belts is toothed. I have no idea why the other isn't, unless it is in case the clutch gets stuck? | ||

What model is that on? I havnt seen a toothed one. When they were first brought out they claimed the clutch was there to protect the belts. That it would disengage the belts and make a rachet noise. That noise makes me jump! | ||

Ignore that, I am so terribly sorry, I was getting mixed up with the old Hoover Turbomaster. I did so few belt changes on Dysons. I was thinking there was a toothed part of the clutch or something. Sorry. | ||

Was there not a toothed section on the clutch though? | ||

Not on the belts or pulleys, but there are quite a few (I don't know what they are called so im going to say) washers that that all sit together and are toothed on outside? | ||

I love my DC-14, it the easiest upright I have ever used completely to clean my house. This is coming from an ex-dyson hater by the way. The DC-14 is the only clean air upright I have ever used to lift up area rugs. The hose is so long I can set it at the end of my stairs and clean ever single step. The dusting brush is great, and the dust cup is very easy to empty. It provides the most suction and airflow out of my 50ft central vac hose than any other vacuum I own.
Is it the best deep cleaner? No, even my Bissell Cleanveiw does better. But it is an extremely well designed vacuum and I've been using it as my main cleaner since I bought it in September. | ||

The toothed belt was a mistake on my part! Like you, I have little experience of changing clutched belts. I was getting mixed up with the Turbomaster belt. | ||

I was not sure about the new dyson dc40 and dc41. But i absolutley love the Dc40. Its a good size for UK homes and performs really well! | ||

See, I have the 41, but have seen the 40. The 40's bristles are a lot stiffer! I was a little annoyed.. I was hoping with this model we would get the same style brush as USA, but we didn't :/ | ||

Maybe I got confused too - both about the colour and the toothed belt - I know for certain that I've had arguments with Dyson customer services because they assured me that I wouldn't be able to repair my GREY AND PURPLE (THEN!) Brush Control upright. It was so long ago really - we're talking a VERY long time.
VR - our local serviceman in our small little Scottish town is useless - they dont even have the tools you speak of - so any Dyson owner in the town has to send their vacuum away to get fixed. We had a great Hoover engineer for many years but the cost of vacuums at the supermarket effectively got rid of his business - admittedly some of the machines he sold were higher priced than anything else - but his repairs were 100% excellent. Once he went belly up, and I didn't take an interest in collecting vacuums until late on in my life, my family had already decided to go with Sebo for the fact that very little repair is required. | ||
