As with all Dysons, the hose suction is amazing but the head suction and brushroll leave a little too much to be desired. I like the bin capacity, but I find that cleaning the filters every 6 months is cumbersome compared to bags.
The tools are really nice. In fact, i enjoy all Dyson tools. I do find that the hose is a bit annoying once taking it off it makes the vacuum fall backwards. Kind of annoying coming from canisters or a Kirby. It's nice that I can just whip it out real quickly, but the awkwardness of it makes me not want to use it. I like it more than DC07 which makes me sad as I wish I could replace my DC07 with a DC14, but they're overly expensive. Overall, for $50 I think it's worth it. I wouldn't have paid full price for one, but $50 is a good price for one. | ||

I am on my 4th DC14, the All floors model in white and orange.I love it. DC14's are robust Powerful Modern (kinda ish) stylsh Easy to use Nicely designed It's light It's got big filters (I mean bigger than the DC07, the biggest Dyson made :/) | ||

 My parents Churc uses two dc14's to clean +- 2000sqm of carpet. Its a busy church with offices conference rooms the works and the machines work every day. Never had anything replaced since they bought them from me 4 years ago exept the ones cord after it was left in the lift still plugged in and well , the doors closed and up it went and the cord was ripped in half.
I love the dc14 , still my favorite dyson to sell as they are so robust. They never come back and the owners love them. I have never had so many sales from people who own them, They get all their family and friends to buy one.
I cannot understand how a clutch lasts 5 months, I have a 2007 dc14 since new, Brilliant unit used every day ( when I am not playing with my collection) It has never had a new clutch.
It did get a new back hose after I drove over the first one.

Guess I just got all the bad parts. Glad everyone else has had better experiences with them. I shall refrain from posting further as I am clearly an outlier. | ||

I refurbed one years ago
I like it A LOT more than I was expecting to! Fabulous tools. The filtration is excellent. Cleans much better than the US DC07, and does a great job on bare floors too. The bin is easy to empty and clean, and holds a large amount of dirt. It's basically my bagless Shop-Vac.
I replaced the clutch when I got it about 4 years ago, and I haven't had an issue yet! Overall a surprisingly good and versatile upright. | ||

50$ for a used Dyson is cheap. Here, the used Dyson are sell at 200~300$ or more, I will never pay that. | ||

In the UK, a battered used DC14 would normally go for like £10-£30 I seen plenty of DC01's go for 99p/£1 The other day I seen £4 DC27 animal end on eBay! There is a local DC33 in white (stubborn) missing the hose and wand, didnt get sold for £10 | ||
