Hey everyone,
I got rid of my DC07 last year as I had acquired 2 sebos from work that were working fine. The sebo bs36 is rubbish, dust bag is 1/4 full and suction is crap it struggles to remove pet hair so I now wish I had never sold my DC07 origin. Put a new bag in and it's fine again until it starts to fill up, probably because the dirt fills the bag from the top and air enters the motor from the bottom of the bag and the bag is so tightly packed inside the compartment thar air struggles to flow easily around the outside of the bag. Any way my sebo is being sold tmrw to someone who wants to use in an office which will be fine for office use. My home is a mixture of wooden floors, small amount of carpet on the landing and stairs and rugs in every room. I also have to vacuum my sofa daily due to my cat that seems to constantly shed hair. My DC07 Was clutchless and it used to be frustrating that it flicked cat litter about in the kitchen because of the brush roll but I have tried to avoid clutched versions due to the stories I have heard about reliability. I am now looking at getting another Dyson as the DC07 was a good vac but I hated the way you used the hose. If there were some bits of cat litter when I cleaned the kitchen and just wanted to get the wand out to pick those stray bits up I hated having to undo the wand then flip it right round and extend the wand from inside the hose before I could use it. At least on the sebo you had the quick draw wand which made picking up loose bits very easy and then you popped it back into the main body and off you went again. So I have several options and there's a couple of good guys who sell all of the above models refurbed and with a 6 month warrant for between £60-£100 depending on the model. Do I get another DC07 which we know is prob the most powerful one they ever made or do I go for its younger brother the DC14 which uses the same motor? How does the wand and hose assembly differ between the two models? For example when I vacuum my sofa I like to disconnect the hose part without the wand and just connect the upholstery tool onto the end of this so I would like the process to disconnect the hose from the telescopic piece to be easy as I like to get up close and personal to the sofa not be cleaning it from the middle of the room. Or do I go for something completely different such as the DC27 or DC33? Are the motor wattages lower than the DC07/14 and would this then affect performance. The way the wand works are they the same as the DC14 with the DC07 being the only one that works differently. Going to look at them in the shop tomorrow so I can see how easy they are myself but at the moment I'm stressing. I probably need a clutched version but not sure which one to go for. Want the performance of the DC07 but the simplicity of using the tools and wand. Look forward to reading your comments. Regards Richard. | ||

DC33 If you decide on a DC33 I have a refurbed/stripped down one for sale with clean filters/tools etc for sale if you want it. Its a decent vacuum with good suck, and not too noisy. It has both the combi tool and the stair tool, and I think I might have the manual somewhere. Good condition, only a couple of small scuffs on the side and the bin isn't too cloudy, as well as having a stripped and washed cyclone. | ||

Dyson Hi Richard. I have a dyson dc40 and it's a great vac. However I find using the hose wand a pain in the back side. It's not flexible enough and find it very difficult to use on the stairs. Has anyone else found the hose wand difficult to use on a dyson. I end up using my Hoover celebrity for the stairs. Paul | ||

Why are you stressing?
I dont know why you just dont get a henry and have done with the whole hard floor issue like it has been suggested before. Pet hairs on furniture are easily dealt with a hand vac like the AEG motorised brush roll one. Both are easy to store and both work really well. Simple really. | ||

Suctionselector
I'm interested actually in the dc33 - can you drop me any pics over on what'sapp if I send you my number?
I'm not stressing and I already have a Henry but I keep it in the shed the unravelled hose and attachments storage or lack of does my head in! I only have a small cupboard to keep stuff in and the Henry did my head in. I keep it for dirty jobs & cleaning the car. | ||

DC33 I don't have whatsapp but I do have a picture I took a while ago, I used it on Thursday I think and it pulled up a great deal of muck from the carpet and the suction from the hose is brilliant. I cleaned the filters a couple of weeks ago and has only been used once since. I can't find the stair tool right now but I have an idea where it is.
Hope it helps. | ||

 I would suggest a shark rocket for £100 as they are pretty good for the price and now the uk ones have new updates now they're brilliant for hard floors and carpet.I loved my one very easy to to use if you don't mind watching the filter every 2 weeks or 3 weeks then it will be perfect for you it comes with a turbo attachment and a extendable crevice tool and dusting brush.

 Have you tried replacing the filters and brushstrips on the Sebo before you spend more money on a new machine? Worth a shot and if it doesn't work, you'll double your money anyway if you stick both machines on eBay - Sebo's always sell.
I agree with Rob, you're never gonna find an upright that will clean large particles off a hard floor as well as a cylinder.
Henry Xtra would be a good choice too. | ||

Thanks for the informative posts. I think I am going to go with a DC14 and have another one to look at on Tuesday before making my decision. I'm put off that the dc33 has a plastic wand.
With regards to the Shark above I really don't like it. I think if anything I am also looking at the vax air reach u90-u91? Has anyone any experience of these, the tools look a nightmare to assemble & for the price I might as well just get the Dyson lol. | ||

Turbo500 - sebo
Yes washed them both in the washer, brush strips were perfect. As said when a new bag is put on its back to 100% but the design of how the bag fills and expands leaves it pulling air through the 1/4 of compacted dust and dirt. Office dirt may be ok but household pet hair and cat litter soon clogs that bag.

This is how powerful my DC14 origin is. PS it's quieter now because one of the bearings in the brush were dodgy CLICK HERE TO GO TO parwaz786's LINK | ||

My new fully refurbed DC14
Just got my new Dc14 - wow it looks like brand new, the difference about these guys from all the other back street garage places charging the same prices for a refurb if not more is these guys take such pride in their work. The dirt bin has been polished and buffed to remove all the fogging up of the plastic so the bin is crystal clear and looks like a new bin has been fitted. They clean the cyclones out properly using a proper machine rather than just cleaning with water. Brand new motor, filters & brushroll fitted as standard. I am very impressed and happy with the vacuum. For £70 with all that done there is never going to be a need to buy a brand new Dyson. Just remember to wash your filters monthly. See the attached pics of mine and all the dirt I cleaned up when I got home after not being able to vacuum for 3 days. I travelled all the way from Leeds to collect and it was well worth it.

Nice! Glad you like it :) I also have the exact same DC14 with that beautifully smart looking colour scheme! I love it. I assume you like it better than the DC07 then :) So do you prefer the clutched or non clutched version? | ||
