I recently got a Dyson dc07 carpet (no clutch system) for parts/repair, as the brushroll had broken literally in half, and the machine STANK! I completely disassembled it, down to the motor, took the cyclone apart, etc. Every part was washed in hot, soapy water. I got it back together, it ran great, sounded good, and had excellent suction. I just ordered a new brushroll a couple weeks ago, and after installing it, (and a new belt), I gave it a test run, and was severely disappointed. It doesn't grab the carpet at all, (medium length cut pile) and just didn't do a good job. No deep cleaning at all, I poured exactly 1/2 cup of salt on the carpet, then vacuumed for several minutes. I got less than 1/4 cup, then went over it about 10 passes with a Dirt Devil Breeze upright, picking up another 1/4 cup. All in all, the Dyson did a terrible job, and I would like to know if this is working properly or if something else is wrong. I did wash the foam filters and replaced the Hepa filter, so getting great suction.

I have the DC14 Origin and its my best deep cleaner for thick pile. Does yours have seals in the soleplate? Is the soleplate fitted correctly? Mine is so good that it does this: CLICK HERE TO GO TO parwaz786's LINK |

From my memories of the DC07 it did a decent job on carpet. Was very noisy though. Used to wear ear defenders :-) |

I checked and there is seals on the soleplate, I must have missed them before. I've checked everything I could think of, I'm wondering if this is normal? If so, why do people love dysons? I've used a dc25 that felt the same way, no real deep cleaning going on. The only Dyson that I've used and actually felt was doing a good job was the dc28. But by far the worst was this dc07. I used a dc07 animal at my church, and while the brushroll literally had no bristles, it had at least a little clamping action and did fine on flat carpet.
