I’ve owned my Dyson DC07 for about 5 years. The section is great, but the plastic parts started breaking after about two years. Now, I’d have to spend $115 on parts to even make it work. I called Dyson twice and they couldn’t care any less. I won’t ever buy one again and definitely don’t recommend them.

Dyson is all about marketing hype and Sh!tty products.
I gifted 4 of them last Xmas, Since I have had to return all of them for repair – 2 of them had the plastic at the base break and the other 2 kept breaking where the handle pulls out of the top.
Dyson says from an engineering prospective nothing is wrong.
I cant be the only one who has had to send them back more than once. In fact one of them broke the first time it was used- “RIGHT OUT OF THE FRIGGN BOX”
Dyson said it was due to the units age? They claim the plastic had dry rot, WTF, Google DRY ROT – Idiots…
It was not even 1 year old from time of manufacturing.
BEWARE DYSON – PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST SO OTHERS DONT FALL PREY ..

P.S For all the people who thinks it’s great!
Try using it more than once a month and you will see what people who actually use the pos are talking about.
If you only use a vac once a year it’s prob a great vac.

Please don’t buy Dyson, they’re junk. Please Mr.Dyson no more garbages for our planet.
Try to find on older Tristar or a Compact vacuum. You can buy parts anywhere for them.

I’ve had my big Dyson for 10 or so years. Would never buy another brand again, tried them all, Eureka, Phantom, Miele, Shark, even Oreck. I own a B&B. I just bought another Dyson for my housekeeper. Her comment: “Finally one that WORKS”.

I have had the Dyson cannister vac for three years and love it. I’m a lazy cleaner and use the cannister vac to dust and do the floors. For the money, this is the best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever used (and I’ve had some really cheap ones and some really expensive). Dyson doesn’t advertise their cannister vac, but they do make one. We have two cats and two dogs which stay indoors; and I have allergies. I haven’t found a surface in my home that the Dyson cannister won’t clean. Also easy to clean the interior of the vehicles with it. I tried several of the Dyson models before I chose the cannister, including their “ball” model. My advice is to keep the carton and use whatever vac you buy on trial. If it doesn’t do the job you want it to do, take it back. Most stores will take back a vac as long as it’s less than 30 days old.

We have had a Dyson for 3 years now. It still amazes me. I live in a dry dusty area and the amount of dust it vacums up from deep in the carpet is a life saver for my allergies.

We have had the ball Dyson Vacumn for 3 or 4 years. Nothing has broken on the vacumn and It has not failed on us. It is easy to move around and we are very happey the way it cleans. I clean it about 2 times a year. I wish that I had some air to do it, but I take a wet cloth and wipe it down. Many of the parts will come off easy and so they can be washed. I think it is like anything else, you have to use it for what it was intended for. It is running strong for us and we would buy another one.

These Dyson’s are the biggest piece of @#$^ we have ever bought. They constantly clog up and the plastic pieces break left and right. The slim model is junk and the hand held dies in 4 minutes of cleaning. Who can clean up big messes in 4 minutes? Do yourself, and your pocket book, a favor and buy a hoover. I am so fed up with this Dyson junk I think I am going to melt them down.
