 Aside from potential build quality and leaking issues that have plagued Dyson since day 1, I have to say, the newer machines are really improving the performance. That new brushroll and cleaner head really do make the world of difference. The crappy brushroll's always were the biggest let down on Dyson cleaners, so it's certainly nice to see it FINALLY being addressed.
I'd easilly go for a DC40 or a 41 or Cinnetic. I like the size of the 40. It's not too big but not as small and pathetic as the 24 or the 50. | ||

Excellent I'm really pleased to hear it. I found the ball a bit stiff at first but it loosened up after a week or 2. Hope you enjoy it Roger. :-) | ||

My ball seems loose enough. The hose is stiff though. | ||

Roger, did you notice James Dyson holding one of HIS balls, on the box? Very smug looking as usual.
Regarding the "ball" mine seemed a bit stiff at first but it loosed up after a few days of rolling about. I really do like the DC40, looking at yours Roger, it makes me wish mine was shiny new again. A "fresh" one, although, despite that icing sugar test I did with mine, it still very clean (after cleaning it of course. | ||

That's impressive! I told you they've come a long way. What I like about it is it moves so easily across the floor no effort needed and the new lip thing on the floorhead, you can lift it up and collect larger particles. That's a good touch. | ||

After emptying There doesn't seem to be an excessive amount of dust inside, but I only used it for regular cleaning, no very fine dust or icing sugar. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it's pretty clean in there. | ||

Nice! You got it! I may get my DC41 Mk2 in August. I found the DC25 hose to be a little short and even the size of the DC25to be small in my home even though a bigger machine like a DC07 is nicer. Dyson have always been good. The brush bars only let them down. | ||

That's wat I found and I've been using mine for 4 months. The cyclones work well. You will notice the filter stays clean for a long period of time. | ||

Dyson's have not always been good Tayyab, They have been LOUD and not picked up very well.
The newest Dyson's are the best yet. But, they are flimsy and very expensive. That said, I do love my DC40. The one thing I wish they would fix if they want to better their product in the future, is make the DAM cyclone bins scratch resistant!! They make the whole machine look dingy when the pin is sand blasted, I sped up the scratching with my bin from picking up granulated sugar, the first week I had it for that agitation test, oops. They do go dull over time though. | ||

I agree about the bin should be scratch resistant and yes they are over priced! As for the plastic it may feel flimsy but it is still robust. A riot shield is flexible for a reason. To absorb the impact. It is the flexibility that makes it strong. | ||

I agree they are durable but I want it to FEEL durable when I use it, I don't like how it flexes when you steer it, to be honest, that could also be due to the handles design rather than the plastic itself.
I wonder if Dyson would send me a new bin if I asked them nicely, lol, it would make mine look new again. | ||

The DC01, DC02 and DC03 are DREADFUL they have hardly any suction at all at the cleaner head and the hose suction is poor for a clean fan.
I don't care if the DC01 was his first it is still awful, it don't have enough suction even a contour had more at the time, all he had to do was use a more powerful motor and it may of been okay. The DC02 was just a pathetic excuse for a cylinder. The DC03 was a nice design but again, it lacked in power, if it had of been as powerful as the DC04 it would of been half decent. | ||

The hose on the DC41 will reach up the stairs. It is a bit springy but it does loosen up in time. Anyway £185 you got a very good deal there Roger. I paid £320 for my DC41.:-0 | ||

The DC01, DC02 and DC03 are DREADFUL Agreed.
The success of those cleaners was only as a result of clever marketing and not a high performing product. Dyson cleverly fooled people into thinking the machine picked up more because you could see the dirt being spun around in a cyclone, but it didn't. Every single cleaner on the market at the time would've out-performed those 3. Even a £60 Goblin Laser has stronger suction at the cleaner head and a better brushroll.
The DC04 and DC05 however, were a VAST improvement and to this day are my favourite Dysons of the lot. | ||

Haha yes. It's not a bad price though if you get many years use out of it. I would like the new carbon fibre dusting brush and they now have an under appliance tool similar to Shark in the US. Hope it's available here soon. | ||

Well you can clean with the low profile tool admittedly you have to use the wand. I would like to see it be able to go under beds etc on future models. That's something Dyson should look at | ||

No it's doesn't. I'm not keen on it to be honest I'd rather the Vax. And the Miele looks good but it's not available here. Think they may come out with a new cordless. | ||

It goes in where the tools go in. The top of the wand inside has a plastic rim inside where the black rubber seal sits :) | ||

Your welcome :) I agree with AlexHoovers94, I would advise using a good glue to hold it back in place :) make sure it's clean as well as the wand so that it will stay in properly or the glue might not work so well Regards :) glad I helped | ||

It doesn't really look like it
but I finally finished rebuilding my DC41 today. Came from an environment overflowing with pets. I was able to get the smell of carpet fresh out of it by washing the pre-filter with cold water and detergent (just using water wasn't enough to get the smell out), and I took a risk and ran the cyclone pack and bin through my dishwasher (I just let them thoroughly dry and they came out spotless and sanitized).
The old brush bar's bearings were dried out, and the new one arrived today. Really did a great job! I was able to free up one of the (tiny!) siezed ball wheels, and now it rolls around very smooth too. It's a fun vacuum to waltz around the house, and I love the insta-hose for getting into places the cleaner head cannot. I realized that I may have also had the soleplate on incorrectly. The three tabs in the front had to audibly 'click' into place, and now it's much easier to push, and is cleaning great! Here it is with the previous-gen TOL model, the AirMuscle, and part of the DC59.

I will look forward to it Roger. I agree with you it does pick up well and is so easy to manoeuvre. It's a pleasure to use. :-) I wish people would actually try these latest cleaners before they bash them, they may be pleasantly surprised! | ||

Soon after writing my latest post, this arrived! It wasn't due until tomorrow so it was a bit of a surprise. I know it's the base model, but it gives me an excuse to upgrade later on. Now where's my camcorder, I feel an unboxing video coming on.
