I want to add, I'm not trying to bash Dyson in any way, I am just sharing my experience with this vacuum and am looking for some other opinions on it. |

Getting it from a pawn shop it's only going to be checked if it runs, they don't completely dismantle it and give it a deep clean.I got a Kirby G6 2001 from a pawn shop and they didn't even empty the bag (and the previous owner didn't even use bags in it)
You might want to unscrew the cyclone assembly and make sure it's not packed solid with dirt, they tend to do that when people ignore the max fill line. That might be an explanation for the suction being bad, other than that it's got a small brushroll so it won't have too much power overall. This vacuum is from their more slim and compact Ball series vacuums so they might be more underpowered than your Dyson DC07 due to the smaller cyclones and bin size. |

I have DC40 mkII (Ball 2 Multifloor).
Pick up performance is good, but not good as the Sebo Felix. Overall I am quite pleased to it, but there is some things what bothers me. Handle is made of VERY flexible plastic. When I turn it the whole handle twists a lot before the vacuum starts to turn. It's actually so bad that it regularly causes bin to vacuum seal leak and make a hissing noise. Another is the overcomplicated cyclone system what will put motor to "overwork". Just try to run the Dyson with and without the bin and you will hear the difference. With the bin on motor runs faster because of the cyclone restiction. That can't be good for the motor lifespan. |

I probably will end up getting a new brush roller and filters, but I don't want to put more money into this vacuum than its worth. I think its great for my 2 bedroom apartment, and I don't want to put much wear on the Fury. |
