Oh madabouthoovers dc01s are pretty common so you should find one. Look out for people throwing them away- I've seen loads of them! |

Hi Steve, The early DC01's used Ametek motors and later ones had YDK motors. The later ones also tend to have better suction but are louder, as the Ametek motors are older now they nearly sound about the same! |

Well for me its a general pattern, I do know that the late dc01s all used ydk. Those ametek motors are much more reliable too but when their bearings go they sound just as loud as the YDK motors. |

Is that why my Ametek dc01 DAS is louder than my YDK dc01? |

Yep, that could be the case sometimes, my very first Ametek DC01 was so quiet, I cn have a conversation over it by even talking quietly! :P but my Destijl and other yellow dc01 standard had loud ameteks |

Yeah parwaz I have to suffer with 3 DC01's... Only joking they are a nice vacuum to have in a collection. Not very powerful or good at much though, but I personally think they will stay in my collection forever! |

This model is a legend. It has a lot of features in common with the Fantom Thunder. Did you know that James Dyson invented the first Fantom vacuum? |

Yes and fantom brought the patents off him. Fantom still went bankrupt in 2001 though! |
