Do they have outter and inner cyclones? I cant quite tell? When i tried the cyclone yellow version at a holiday home i found them to be very good and they pick up quite well | ||

The Vortex/Hurricane story is a heck of a story!
When the early vortex models came out (the red and white ones and the Vortex power in blue and black), they used a high efficiency dust separation cyclone like a Dyson. However, it infringed on Dysons patent and Dyson sued Hoover over the design, meaning they could no longer produce Vortex machines of that design. Hoover scrapped the high efficiency cyclone design and rebadged the machines as "Hurricane" and stuck a low efficiency, direct filter cyclone it. A great shame, as I found the Vortex to be much higher performing than the DC01 and DC03, but it was a complete rip off of the DC01's cyclone | ||

stuck to the floor...
I don't know what DC01's you were using, but I personally found the suction of the DC01 to be severely underwhelming. Coupled with a poorly designed brushroll (which is still one of my biggest annoyances with Dyson 18 years on), it made for a very average performing machine, especially compared with other vacuums on the market at the time. My Panasonic MC-E553 from 1996 has WAY more suction power than any DC01 I've ever used.

The DC01 (& DC03) could only generate 90 Air Watts of suction power, similar to the Hoover Triple Vortex. | ||

First DC01
Was The DA001. Made about 1992 in the first Dyson factory in Chippenam. It had the older style logo on it. I had a Dyson DC01 whick I believe was made between the DA001 and the first DC01's, as there were parts with different Dyson logos on. I sold mine for £10. Still have a DC01.
Like Jake, I would like one of these Hoovers but the has the priority as he asked first. They look DC03ish as they are wider than usual. Just a tad though. Jacob | ||
