I cannot get my head around the fact that for all that they cost to buy, you don't even get metal tubes. Dyson can give all the talk they like about the plastic tubes being robust and lightweight, but it doesn't wash with me. |

Its actually cheaper to fit metal or aliminim tubes than to use the abs plastic like they do, Old dyson's like the dc19 & o8's came with alloy tubes and they are cheaper than the thicker plastic ones , also the alloy ones tend to jam were as the new plastic ones don't. I have been testing this dc37 for the past few months and its worked faultlessly. I would take the new plastic tubes over the old metal ones any day |

these new plastic abs tubes do not wobble at all. Thats what I like about them. These ones have a better fit that the old alloy ones. I must say that I am trully impressed with this model , everything workes well and they really went out of there way to get this one right. I lik ethe combi dust brush crevice tool , it works a treat in corners and allong skirting boards. its really great in the car to.
I really like the fact that the hose can be disconnected with ease on this unit for those of us who would put it in a cupboard. I am not realy a canister person I prefer uprights but I do like this machine.
Interestingly we find that dyson parts are cheaper than the generics. Due to dysons been newer to the SA market we do not get many generics here but the dyson parts are still cheaper.
Call me a stickler but I never fit generic parts to any make of vacuum. I only use genuine parts, but then again I do the same with my cars too , that's why they never give me problems |

The turbine head is such a great design, It is smaller in overall size compaired to the old one but it is the same width. I much prefer this new one to the older design as it is easier to use and it has a very well designed brushroll.
It is quieter to the ear than the dc23. as for the length of the hose its no shorter than a miele hose and it worked well. |
