Sorry, I HATED my dyson, it so was big, ugly and VERY heavy to use. I also hated seeing all my dirt in the clear bit. Ended up giving it to my mother-in-law (she did ask for it!) and have now got a Miele cylinder - much better.
Well i've got a dyson DC14 animal and it is fantastic,does the job,yeah its heavy but i can get the stairs done and it picks up brilliantly!!!

I have a DC07 wihich is an upright. I dont find it very heavy but i love it and it hasnt had any problems!

i worked for dyson for a while, so i don't think the quality is very good. all a bit plasticky. i know you're really interested in dyson answers, but personally i would recommend a Henry. Mine is nearly 15 years old and is still fab. they cost less than �90.
i love my dyson, i have the cyclone 8 model and it is one good vacuum

Oh well we have this question quite often and the usual outcome is that most people would not buy one again ...

Do not buy an upright - it was our worst purchase ever and we constantly had people out to fix it, apart from the heaviness and the fact that you cant get anywhere near the corners with it, like we could with the other uprights we've had.


Go for the vacuum cleaner style one - wish we had!

Dyson??? Aaarrrgh!!! Their latest TV ad says that other cleaners filters block, while theirs doesn't. This is totally untrue. When I used my brand new Dyson the filter blocked after 5 minutes use. I'm going to get onto Advertising Standards about Dyson's new advert. Before you make your mind up, see http://www.reviewcentre.com/Dyson__4.htm
Ive had a DC05 for 4 years its brillant is light easy to drag around the house, as long as you empty it when full and wash the filter every 6 months it will continue to work forever. Like anything if you treat it with care it will last.
I would have to add that Dysons are very over-rated. I work part-time at a department store and they are often brought back (they also have a tendency to be over powerful leading to problems with damage to carpets e.g. excessive wear/piling). I have a SEBO which is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used and everyone I know that has one would never have anything else. Any of their models would be OK it depends on the size of your house and types of flooring.
Forget a Dyson. I've just been trying to get hold of a so-called purple "permanent filter" for a DC08 animal cylinder that's under warranty for a neighbour.
They cost over �12.00 apiece. I've written to Dyson twice to find out why these filters need replacing if their "permanent" as they claim. So far I've not had a reply.
The filter is only blocked with dust, but its manufactured in such a way that it can't be opened to be cleaned.
The Dyson was bought on HP via a well known TV rental/consumer electronics company that hawks their business from door to door on council estates. They have refused point blank to do anything about it.

You won't catch me buying a Dyson and I certainly will not recommend them to others. I use a Miele.
