DC07 All Floors

I’m over 20 years with a Dyson DC07. Lots of shedding dogs. Have replaced a part here and there along the way. Still kicking. Great vacuum.

You are not alone in your opinion. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky. But I’m over 20 years with a Dyson DC07. Lots of shedding dogs. Have replaced a part here and there along the way. Still kicking. Great vacuum.

They must have made them more durable initially. I’m over 20 years with a Dyson DC07. Lots of shedding dogs. Have replaced a part here and there along the way. Still kicking. Great vacuum.

Owned Dyson DC07 for 3 years. Small canister, constant clogs, half dozen fiddly covers and latches to remove for clearing a clog. Switching to hose was a real chore, dumb design. Shark Vertex Duoclean, 1yr 7mo so far. Good power, great design, canister lifts away so the vacuum can go under furniture, switch to hose with a button press. Single door for cleanout. Kirby G4, 30 years so far, handed down from parents. Ultimate power, ultimate weight. Suck the dimples off a golf ball, never a clog. Bulky, heavy, indestructible. Switch to hose is a bit clumsy. You can get a used G3 or G4 on marketplace or Craigslist and have no concerns about it lasting decades. TLDR: Shark Duoclean for lightweight day to day. Kirby for monthly "deep cleaning".

Same. I have a DC07 that’s given my house a weekly once-over for like 15 years or so. The only thing I’ve had to do to it was replace the on/off switch. That was around 6 bucks & took about 3 minutes to change.

I bought my Dyson in 2005 for $399 and it’s still going strong. I think the original models must have been made better.

My second hand Dyson dc07 is incredible

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. 

I got a hand me down V6 Motörhead from a friend who was too lazy to buy a new battery. Bought a cheap one on Amazon and it's lasted me 5-6 years with no trouble until recently the brush has stopped spinning. Have not had a chance to troubleshoot yet, so I can't say if it's an easy fix or needs replacing . I will definitely buy one, but I'll buy a refurbished one at a discounted price. I will also add I have always had a more powerful corded vacuum as well. The cordless is just for convenience between the deep cleans. I had a Dyson DC 07 for over 20 years and just bought a Dyson Big Ball canister on sale for $200. Sucks great, but not sure I'll ever get used to the canister. Time will tell.
