I've had a DC03 Clear, DC07 Standard and now a DC14 Allergy. The first thing to mention is Dysons do go wrong, but where they are different is that the Dyson customer service is excellent, the telephone number is printed on the machine - and one call generally solves the problem either by getting spare parts sent out or collect/return repair.
It is one item it could be worth getting extended warranty, because if it is under warranty , it will be repaired by Dyson.
Tips: avoid the clear plastic models , the plastic is much more brittle, I had several replacement handle/wands/sole plates under the 2 year warranty with my DC03 Clear. The DC07 has a lot fiddly bits which can break - the foot plate cover, the internal hose can split due to wear/n/tear, the valve pipe clips can break, but it is a powerful vacuum.
The advantage is that Dysons are built to have parts replaced as they wear out, sort of modular design, it is not often they are beyond repair and many spares are also available on well known auction site/ Dyson Website either new or secondhand. Secondhand one's have a good resale value if you decide to upgrade.

My Dyson DC14 is too new , but so far it seems the best model so far, great suction, better design. I've kept the DC07 for cleaning up after DIY.

This is my first Dyson and I have to say that I am really impressed. What I had trouble finding when I was researching a hoover to buy was a comparison chart. Unfortunately, I only bought the DC14 Allergy so I can't do a comparison between this and the Hoover H1 which is probably the closest competitor. I highly recommend emptying the cylinder every time before you use it. I never liked hoovering but now that I can see the amount of dirt I take out of the house every time I do it all the time! I've only found three big negative issues with the DC14 Allergy:
* An extremely loud ratchet noise when the beater catches a snag. I jump every time it happens. A better slip mechanism would be greatly appreciated.
* The hose isn't strong enough to support itself against the high level of suction. You absolutely must use an attachment on the hose end or it will catch on something and then compress instantly. This usually results in the Dyson being quickly toppled onto its side.
* If you don't turn the DC14 off and return it to the upright position, the suction goes through the attachment tube that is still attached to the base. This makes a bit of a whistling sound and will grab hold of any loose clothing you might be wearing.
Overall, I'd recommend it but there is still room for improvement in the world of vacuum cleaner design.

Dysons are expensive, there's no getting away from that, but they are still great value for money.
18 months ago: Being a bit tight I didn't want to pay Dyson money for a vacuum cleaner so I bought a Morphy Richards Bagless. It couldn't be that much worse surely! Well, the signs weren't good when i tested it brand new out of its box back to back with my mother's Dyson DC03. It didn't pick nearly as well as the Dyson. From that point onwards it was much the same, it didn't pick up well even on max suction and anything much above minimum suction it would overheat and shutdown after only 1-2 rooms.
Today - The DC14 All Floors arrived and I pressed it straight into service. Its got some nice features but the most important thing is it actually cleans, fantastically well infact. The carpets have NEVER been as clean.
What am I trying to say then - well, don't be tight like i was, I wasted £100 on rubbish before buying a Dyson. Just spend the cash, you won't regret it!

Buy a SEBO instead but excellent service.
I had a Sebo for many years, when I finally needed to replace it I was going to buy another but was persuaded to be the Dyson by a very able saleman. I absolutely loathe it. Read more

Great Suction - but no good on edges
The suction on the DC14 is the best ever. It picks up more dirt than my old Dyson. The suction is so strong that the vacuum cleaner is not advised to use on rugs with fringed... Read more
