Dyson DC03

After changing bag after bag on my old hoover, I thought its time to get in with the times. This is the reason I opted for the Dyson DC03. It's a mean looking machine, but very stylish and innovative. The handle on this Dyson can be separated from the main body to use as the 'hose and wand'. When separated, all the power goes into the hose and wand until you fix it back to the main body, which then all the power is directed to the brushes. Attached to the top of the left hand side cylinder there are the crevice tool, stair tool and brush tool. These can be fixed to the hose and wand with ease and simplicity to reach those hard to get ...  Read the complete review

I've had a DC03 for over two years now. In our house any vacuum has a hard job - it's a country area and we have two large dogs, one of whom regards shedding hair as her vocation in life. (How do they get in the oven? The hair, that is, not the dogs!) The DC03 is quite heavy, although not as heavy as some of the other Dyson models, and any upright cleaner with built-in hose and tools is likely to be heavy. It's got a good long flex and I can vacuum on each floor of the house without having to move the plug. The first time you use it you wonder what filth you've been living in, as the cylinder fills very quickly. My carpets took on a new ...  Read the complete review

Vacuums in our house last only slightly longer than “Hearsay”. We have had a “Panasonic”, a ”Hoover”, at least two “Dirt Devils” and a “Goblin” (I do mean a Goblin vacuum, and not Marandina’s alter ego). All of them have fallen by the wayside in less time than it takes a page on Dooyoo to open, if it’s not hoses coming apart, it’s motors burning out, bags bursting, dog hairs clogging the intake or it’s kids using them as playthings and then denying all knowledge of how the handle came off! Recently, after the demise of our last vacuum, (A Hoover upright) I took to using ...  Read the complete review

This is an upright vacuum cleaner with impressive capabilities. 'Ugh!' will be your reaction upon first usage - not because it is a bad cleaner, but simply because it is so good. You will see all manner of dust, dirt and general household filth flying around in the transparent plastic dust collector which has not been collected by your previous vacuum cleaner. I was pleased to see that the Dyson range of cleaners lived up to their reputation(hype) in this respect. They claim that the use of a dust collector, such as this has, will save you money because you do not have to buy bags anymore as with other cleaners. This is true, but emptying out this ...  Read the complete review

I have had two Dysons now and would buy another tomorrow if I had to. The first was an earlier model and I didn't take out the extended guarantee so when it died I just had to buy another. What really impresses me is the amount of dirt it sucks up even if you think your carpet is pretty clean (although you need to watch out if your carpet isn't fitted or has loose strands-you could end up with a rug instead) As my kids suffer from asthma I have to hoover their bedrooms daily and as the tools are attached it is easy to just give the beds a quick going over at the same too. The only problem I had was when it broke down and I had to ring customer services. ...  Read the complete review
