today my cousin asked me to put together her new Dyson DC41. when I got to my cousins house, I quickly unboxed the Dyson and put it together. it was more difficult to put together than my mom's DC33. once I put it together, I tried it out around my cousins three story house. I was astonished by the suction but the build quality was average. it did a good job on my cousins low pile carpet and area rugs also it did good on the hardwood floor. once I finished the first floor, I moved on to the second story. I found it difficult to haul up the stairs. then when I was vacuuming, the vacuum fell apart. it did this many times. maybe it's a design flaw? it picked up a lot but the plastic is brittle and looks as though it would break easily. Also the bin is smaller than the previous Dyson models. the last picture is it when it fell apart. over all, I like the vacuum. it's good for what my cousin needs, as she has a dog. the old vacuum she had (bissell hilex) was falling apart. you can see my cousins dog in the pictures :) not to mention I found the vacuum heavy.

yes they're not built like they used to be because they're better than they used to be not fragile cheap like the old ones.

the plastic certainly isn't brittle from personal experience.also i find it very strange how it falls apart like that as i've never ever seen that before and no one has had this issuebefore and nobody said it in any reviews i never ever heard this before.

if you haven't seen this video it shows the testing dyson does.

In my opinion, the newer dysons plastic will not snap unless you were to get a pair of sharp edge pliers and cut the plastic. Although the plastic is flexible and the older ones have more solid plastic, the older dysons are more sturdy, but when you drop an older one, such as a DC04 you would get a damaged DC04. I do agree with Dysonb0y.

I quite like the new DC41, but if I were to improve it, I would say an aluminium wand is required. It is not much different in weight in comparison to the plastic wand, but apart from that, a wonderful vacuum!

I like the DC14 design and construction. It's basically a mix of an old Dyson and a new Dyson. Same goes with the very late DC07 models. The plastic is hard and solid, but it wont really break. DC14's are pretty tough, but only have a few weak spots like the hose ripping, or having the main body break under very rough use

the old dysons are really fragile and i got a whole garage still be broken old dysons i do see a few dyson dc14s with broken plasticbut a lot lot less than the old dyson dc04even though the dc14 was a lot betteron plasticit still wasn't perfect that's why they made it more flexible and use more propane.

It would make sense that Dyson would build the upright version of the DC54 Cinetic. I have a friend in South Africa, who sells Dyson and repairs them. He hasn't told me of any service problems with his 'filterless' Dyson customers. Eliminating the need to ever clean a filter, which means ACTUAL constant airflow, has always been the goal of Dyson.

Pictures of new Dyson DC75

Here's a few pictures of the new Dyson DC75 from Very.co.uk. It only states a C rating for carpets unlike the DC41 that has an A rating.

i'm sure it has better rating then thati know just want a new vacuum comes out websites normally get it wrong and they also get there wrong information as well as it's probably almost identical to the dc 41so it should have the same rating.

Not the case. The DC41 shares the brushbar motor with the DC25.

It *may* be the case with the very new ones, but every DC41 we have seen has the same Johnson motor in as the DC25 up to now. 

 

But really, that is the least of the DC41's problems. We wont sell them reconned any more as the build quality is so dire they are uneconomical to do and a warranty nightmare. 

 

Some may find this Dyson Medic article interesting as it discusses the quality of newer machines.

well you gonna get more repairs with a vacuum cleaner that sells and is quite popular and probably sell a lot so that's why so many need repairing.but dyson learn from their mistakes and everything vac gets better and all new dysons have a new brush bar motor.

Manchestervacs I actually believe you and check your forum all the time. :) I do know that the DC25 and 41 use the same brush motor, but they have now been improved I heard. Same design and looks etc, however I think the grey ball dc25's and any of the motorised ones have been modified.

Dyson are now making their machines really complex, but I think its because there are LOADS of the older ones being sold refurbished, so they want this to stop. Complex machines will put dealers off refurbishing them, so more people will buy from Dyson instead of businesses. TBH I think manchestervacs are the only Dyson dealers that actually know what they are doing and know their Dysons inside out compared to others. I mean how many Dyson dealers have a website and all that? All they do it have an eBay account with lots of feedback

Oh do listen to yourself. "you're gonna get more repairs with a vacuum cleaner that sells and is quite popular,"

Um. Which is why there are so many older Dyson vacs AND still continue to be refurbished and sold on.

Dyson HASNT learned from their mistakes. Dyson vacs keep decreasing in quality. my DC07 is so much more sturdier then my cousins DC41. my DC07 survived being out in the rain, being clogged with loads of dog hair and having the cord cut off. a newer Dyson could never proabably survive all that. I completely agree with Manchestervacs the build quality of the DC41 is dire. newer Dyson are garbage! (not bashing I actually like dyson)

Post# 310712 , Reply# 21   1/2/2015 at 17:09 (3,400 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

I vacuumed up water with my DC25 two days ago because the hose was dirty. It still works :)
The early DC07 models made in England were really brittle. The late Ones including DC14 models made after 2005 have non brittle plastic which is not too bendy.

I think people here have different opinions on flexible plastic being crap quality or the more solid plastic being crap quality. The solid one feels strong and sturdy. It can snap when bent. The flexible plastic is flexible. Yes it feels down in quality, but it wont break

I'm not bashing it's my opinion. I like Dyson personally, I always have

Um yes, whilst the flexible clear hoses on Dyson are good and stretch out, they can be pierced easily dependent on the kind of dirt picked up. I ruined a few hoses on my old DC04.
