I do own a DC33, although I am trying to sell it at the moment.
When I got it I got a DC14 along with it, and I do believe the structure is similar amongst the two. For example, to me the DC14 & DC33 both feel quite short, and also more compacted and central around the base. Whereas, the DC04 & DC07 feel more taller and thinner as such.
I do believe that the quality has dropped for a few years now. Just take a look at the thickness of the plastic used on a DC01 bin handle and compare it to the modern variant. Also as blakaeg pointed out, the DC33 wand is plastic as compared to the metal of previous model's. |

Well, regarding the price, I've given it a jolly good clean, after a stripdown, as well as replaced either 3 or 4 seals on the body of the machine, and replaced the inspection pipe as it had a crack in it.
Bearing in mind the DC33 still retails for around £220, I'm aiming for around £85 on eBay. It didn't sell for £95 so am trying £85, and I'll have a best offer option. I'm hoping someone will buy it. I last sold a DC03 reconditioned on eBay for £50, so I'm hopeful for a result. I'm hoping so as it is a more modern Dyson. |

I agree Blakaeg. I say the DC14 is a bi t of both. A solid machine that is very sturdy like the older machines, but the plastic has a slight flex feature to it so it doesnt snap |

Stan, no offense, but you can't really compare the build quality of a Dyson to something that was made in 1965. Everything was made better back then, even Hoover & Eureka cleaners were much better quality than they are now. Had Dyson started producing these cleaners in 1965 you would have a valid point. It would be much more fair to compare a Dyson to the build quality of modern cleaners made since the year 2000. And I personally think that, although I dislike the Dyson's build quality & think they could be better, they are probably the best of the bagless upright cleaners made today.

I love the dc01 but when I was a kid I saw so many with them pointless covers over the top of the wheels broken off. I think people may of thought they were what you pressed to release the head maybe? |

I personally think Old Dysons are pretty fragile and used to break if got too much sunlight asked.the reason they changed it to the darker colour as it wouldn't get sunrays damage. but when I did have a DC 33 it felt quite fragile nothing like the DC 41.the dc33 felt like it would snap. And is anyone else notice only Dyson recently in the last two years has started showing videos of them surviving tests being dropped and hit cause they can actually survive that not what the old ones are probably disintegrate:). Is why I really really don't like old dysons my garage of got loads of damage bodies and Crakston just need lots repairs I don't see as many DC14 with broken bodies like the old dysons. Dysons learn from the mistake and finally make machines that can survive on last would happily take a hammer to my Dyson DC 55 and know it will be completely fine In fact after Christmas I will make a video of hitting it in lots of different places hard with a hammer and dropping it. But I wouldn't dare do that with any other of my vacuums. I know a Dyson wouldn't outlast A Kirby but I know will outlast a lot I'm not a machine to get today. people don't like Dyson because of their old experiences I don't blame you I really don't like them but New one you can get today are completely completely different to the old ones are just so much better than I used to be finally made machines that can clean and outlast. So thanks guys sorry if there is any miss spelling.

Wow. Very well explained Josh! Couldn't have out it better myself. You are right. The newer ones are better in most ways. My DC25 feels more capable of being dropped down the stairs,mor even concrete stairs compared to a DC04 |

PS if you want an older Dyson, I suggest the very last DC07 models from post 2005 and DC14 models too. My DC07 origin is from 2005 and took a good beating. It's been in our family for 11 months now with no problems |

Wish they were sold here. Are the bristles stiffer than DC40 bristles? Do they stick to the floor as good as a DC07 or DC41? Thanks |

I think that the newer dysons are worse than the old ones. |

I am simply conparing that experience to the experiences I had with older dysons such as my aunt's dc07 animal and my dc07 full gear. The quality of the dc07's is much bettet than that of a dc40 |

Here in the us at least, the DC40 and DC07 are completely different. The DC40 here is complete rubbish. The DC07 here is much better. I would sorta compare this to Oreck in the U.K. And other countries. |

"...Okay then but the DC 65 is so much better than dc40..."
In your opinion though. The world doesn't log onto this website, let alone the majority of consumers. You can't speak for everyone. Be aware of that. Tyler/Orecklover has been clear from the start, he hasn't rubbished your "favourite brand" WITHOUT adding his experience. |
