Dyson DC7 since 2001 and it still works great. Dyson v7 since about 2010 for the back house. A Dyson v12 slim for everyday use. Every 3 months I disassemble all 3 and give a through cleaning. Easiest vacuums I've ever owned.
I got a DC07 Dyson as a wedding gift, 23 years ago! Happy to report my marriage and my Dyson are still going strong with regular maintenance. Also bought a Dyson stick vacuum a few years ago and the DC07 absolutely outperforms it, I’ve already had to replace the battery once whereas the only replacement needed on the upright over decades has been the hose, 3 or 4 times now and only available on eBay. The stick one is still nice for small cleanup jobs though.
I got a yellow and grey DC07 when they just came out in like '01 or '02. Used it until about 5 years ago and the only money I spent on it in that time was to replace the flexible hose that tore after like 15 years. The only reason I got rid of it was to get a cordless vac. I still miss the DC07.
I have a Dyson DC07 and its great. I ended up with a Dyson V10 and its also been great. I'll admit, I am afraid to replace it with a newer model though. Especially after my Dyson fans.
\*Anymore My big yellow vacuum (DC07) is still kicking ass and taking names to this day. It was only made between 2001 and 2009 and was a hand me down from my wife's parents when she went to college.
We still have the big yellow one from 2001-2009 (DC07) and it's a tank.
I have three dogs of varying hair...shepherd/pyr mix (oh the hair), coonhound mix ( hair that is short and embeds into anything), and a practically nonshedding amstaff mix. I frankly use a shop vac about once a month for major tumbleweeds and my Dyson DC 07 at least weekly
