Dyson DC07 Allergy

Last summer after having tried in vain to remove the fluff from our new-ish living room carpet with our trusty Dyson DC02, now nearing retirement age, we decided we needed something with a bit more power and a rotating brush bar. We had tried an air-powered turbo brush attachment on the DC02, but it constantly clogged up and stopped rotating. So, slightly miffed, we gave up that idea, and a few months later, we received our new Dyson DC07 Animal. I must admit that I won this in a competition, and we picked the Animal, not because we have animals, unless young children are included in that genre, but because it is the top of the range model, and we had a choice. ...  Read the complete review

I had never wanted a Dyson! I considered them to be over-priced and thought that they couldn't possibly be as good as everyone claimed. A couple of weeks ago we had a new living room carpet delivered and were so pleased with it that we decided we needed a new vacuum cleaner. We wanted to keep the carpet is as good a condition as we could, for as long as possible. Our old vacuum cleaner (a Hoover Turbomaster) wasn't picking up very well, so it was time to invest in a new cleaner. My mother-in-law had just got a Dyson from her catalogue and showed it to us; a vacuum cleaner for us is a very large buy, so we wanted to think long and hard before spending ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION The Dyson DC07 is the latest in the now famous line of bagless vacuum cleaners from Dyson. The suction power is provided in the form of a mini cyclone and deposits the dirt and dust into a clear plastic chamber. The theory is that the suction power remains constant during use, unlike a conventional vacuum where the amount of suction reduces significantly as the bag fills up. Dyson provide you with a lot of theory to explain how their products work (and to justify the slightly higher than average price tag). Some of this is a little difficult to explain without the use of diagrams, so ff you’re interested, visit their website at ...  Read the complete review

When one of our dogs decides to have a good scratch the entire house reverberates. At 42kg Rosie packs a good scratch. Her little (40kg) sister, Kia, hasn't quite got the power to rattle the plates three doors away, but she's still impressive. Both dogs are allergic to house dust mite. It's easy to think of house dust as being just a single substance, but it's actually little bits of fibre, fur from animals, mould, bacteria and food particles as well as bits of plants and insects. Within this mixture are microscopic mites, which live in bedding, upholstery and carpets. They used to thrive in summer and die off in the colder months but now ...  Read the complete review

I had wanted a Dyson vacuum for a while, but simply couldn't justify the initial outlay for one. Then one day while doing the weekly shop in Tesco I saw the Dyson DC07 Allergy on offer for £170 (down from £270 at the time - it was a few years ago). Seeing as I had wanted a Dyson for ages I decided this was too good an opportunity to miss and added it to my weekly shop. I didn't really think about the allergy aspect when I first bought it, as it was more the pull of the Dyson brand that led me to buy it (oh, and the price reduction). The vacuum is blue and turquoise in colour and looks attractive. It also offers the "no bag" deal that comes as ...  Read the complete review
