This must be in your Dyson upright

DC04, DC07, DC14, DC33 etc or else it wont lift mats well, and block the large debris channel in the DC14 and dc33 for the full suction :D and theres one at the top of either the soleplate or the floating head

** The DC07 is a fully working, genuine DC07 but it has a DC04i or absolute+ dusting brush which looks like its made for the DC07 but is not, it just comes off because of no ring in the swivel joint end for it to clip into

Very good Mr Parwaz - we will wait in anticipation of your DC01 DeStijl teardown on your other thread.
That DC07 Purple and Lime was the very first Dyson I ever bought back in about 2002 to replace my Turbopower 3 (I was very foolish to get rid of that TP3 though)


Post# 255874 , Reply# 37   11/10/2013 at 08:36 (3,813 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

Wow! I am sure you were happy with your first Dyson though :) What happened to it? Did you get it new?
Regards
Tayyab


Post# 255886 , Reply# 38   11/10/2013 at 10:16 (3,813 days old) by madabouthoovers ()        

Yes I bought it brand new from Currys Stoke in I'm sure was 2003 now, but sold it a couple of years later to a girl from work - when I bought my DC15 brand new also from Currys. I still have that DC15, and wont be selling it either as these will be collectable in the future. The DC07 was good, and I was torn between the Purple and Lime and the Purple and Red one at the time - both had HEPA filters and I wasn't prepared to pay out more for the Animal version. The colours of the Purple and Lime are very striking, which is something you don't find with modern Dysons now.

Just out of interest - what colour ar all the tools on your DC07, as I'm sure I remember my tools were all green on mine - they had a brief period of colour coding the tools to match the primary colour of the vac, before later making all the tools grey, regardless of the colour of the vac.
The DC04's were good for this as the limited edition and DeStijl versions had two tone coloured tools as you can see on this older pic of my DC04 Purple and Magenta

Very good Tayyab! Not a big fan of the DC07s as I used to be, since getting my DC04 the 04s are much nicer to use. Dual Cyclone separates about 80% of the dust anyways, so it's all good!

Still think that you next addition should Hoover Turbopower 1, like a Junior U1426 (like mine) or a basic hardbag one (such as a U1050).


Post# 255923 , Reply# 40   11/10/2013 at 12:06 (3,813 days old) by madabouthoovers ()        

The DC04 is nice to use yes, the main problem I find with the DC07 is its extreme noise, which is made louder by the external cyclones that point upwards - de-rooted ones are even louder. The DC04 is much quieter than the DC07 unless the brushroll housings are worn which is worse on the clutchless models.
Most clutched models of older Dc07's and all DC04's will now need clutch belt replacements though as the old belts stretch over time and the brushroll will end up slowing up or stopping altogether when used on carpet. People don't think about this when buying old Dyson uprights with clutches, and replacing the clutch belts is a complicated task, especially the belt from the clutch to the brushroll.

Steve: I got this from eBay from a seller who said it been serviced regularly, it had a blocked filter tho, and the tools are supposed to be green, yes but mine has a silver stair tool, a grey crevice tool, and a dc04i or absolute+ dusting brush

Tim: Thanks! Why not tho? I find DC07's to be excellent vacs but the DC04 wand is a bit crap tbh, and the DC07 needs to be stronger, like the DC14

Tayyab, a DC04 is not crap. I personally prefer the DC04 to he DC07, and I know quite a lot of people who will agree that the DC04 is much more pleasant to own and use. Mostly down to the DC07's ear splitting noise.

Joe: I love DC04's, I like them better than DC07s but I dont like the wand of the DC04 because its got an annoying wand cap

I suppose the wand cap can be annoying, especially if they loose their springs like on my DC04's!

Well, Tayyab, DC04s aren't crap. I know many that use them pretty much everyday. For example, my youth worker and the local youth club has a DC04 Yellow 'brush control' and she loves it. She and her husband bought it brand new in 2002 i think. Had one service and that's it. Not bad going :)

The 04 is a great piece of design, much better than the DC07, and 200-220AW will be fine for me! Wand cap can be annoying but i haven't had a problem with mine.

NOW FOR SOME SCIENCE!

The DC07, whilst having a greater level of dust seperation with 7 cones and the outer cyclone, makes the noise level increase and the cyclone unit itself bulky. The smaller cyclones makes the G-Forces increase, thus better seperation. However, at the small opening end of the cone it's more likely to clog as the dust is 'spat' out from being seperated.

I like the DC04 better than the Dc07, its just that the wand cap is annoying, the end of the wand is near the handle which means its dirty, and its not nice, Dc14 is much better, and the Dc07 has more power thats all, other than that the Dc07 is crappy, not a practical design, DC04 is MUCH better though it dont have the tremendous suction that a DC07 has

"Dc14 is much better"

 

In what way Tayyab? DC14's are loud, unreliable and heavier than the DC04.


Post# 256058 , Reply# 50   11/11/2013 at 15:06 (3,812 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

Really? lol They are stronger, more powerful, more sturdy and are still nice vacs

The DC14s are allright vacs. However, My 14 Animal is loud, not as a loud as an 07. It does the job though and I like it. But for a study vacuum, that has to go to an all steel Numatic such as an NVQ250 or an NV250, can't beat those Tayyab i'm afraid!

Post# 256099 , Reply# 52   11/12/2013 at 02:14 (3,812 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

Yes, Numatics never break, but if they do then its only the hose cuff joint

True. I suppose all vacuums have their up-sides and down-sides. It's a matter of opinion. :)

TBH Henry would have been a fantastic machine, they are pretty much indestructible everywhere apart from the hose, even a DC08 has a stronger hosecuff, and also the swivel neck joint can snap off when you try to remove the stiff thing from the wand, the bucket could do with being stronger and the rewind is a bit annoying to rewind or maybe its cos im lazy

We had a customer recently who brought her DC07 she bought from us back because of an "ear splitting noise" it was making. 

 

We plugged it in and tried it. I asked her "When does it make the noise?" 

 

She said, "Well, that's it! Can't you hear it?" 

 

The machine sounded perfectly normal. 

 

I don't think they are so noisy. But then again, maybe I am used to them. 


Post# 256198 , Reply# 56   11/13/2013 at 02:06 (3,811 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

Hmm, Has her DC07 got the later de-rooted cyclone with the large holes at the top? Those are well noisy

My friend commented on how noisy his de ropted 07 was. I considered it normal, and told him to wait a year or so for it to block up again ans quieten down...

I've never really noticed the difference in noise levels between the two cyclone types to be honest. I'll compare now you have mentioned it.

The newer ones will get dusty in a year then need washing out in order to get the full sound from it :P
