Dyson DC33 Stubborn

Lightweight Dyson upright vacuum cleaner for every floor surface with extra tools for stubborn dirt.

DC33 Stubborn is a lightweight upright vacuum designed for cleaning every floor type, including carpet, ceramic, vinyl and wood. It comes with a Stubborn dirt brush and Dysolva spot cleaner to help remove stubborn and ground-in dirt.

DC33 Stubborn has a re-engineered wand for high reach cleaning. It's lightweight and gives an extra 10cm of reach for a total reach of 4.8m. Accessories can be fitted and removed from the end of the wand with a click. And there's on-board tool storage so your tools are right there when you need them.

DC33 Stubborn also includes a lifetime washable HEPA filter to capture microscopic pollen and allergens, so it's ideal for allergy sufferers.

At just 8kg, DC33 Stubborn is one of Dyson's lightest full-size uprights. With no compromise on durability.



Patented Dyson technology
Inside the Root Cyclone technology
Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction.

Dyson engineers are constantly testing and inventing, trying to find new ways to make their technology work better. As they work, they file patent applications to protect their inventions from copycat manufacturers. That's why the only place you'll find Dyson technology is inside a Dyson machine.

Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction
Ordinary vacuum cleaners rely on bags and filters to trap dust and dirt. Air is meant to flow through tiny holes, leaving dust and dirt behind. The problem is that when you use them, these tiny holes quickly clog up with particles of dust. This chokes the flow of air, so the vacuum cleaner loses suction.

Dyson vacuum cleaners don't rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. They use patented Root Cyclone technology, which spins the air at high incredibly high speeds. The cyclones inside a Dyson vacuum cleaner generate centrifugal forces many thousands of times the force of gravity. Dust, dirt and pet hair are flung out of the airflow and straight into the clear bin. No bags, no loss of suction.


DC33 Stubborn includes:
Using the longer wand to clean in tight ceiling corners
Longer wand for easier high reach cleaning

Using the stubborn dirt brush to remove a dirty footprint from a floor
Stubborn dirt brush removes ground-in dirt

Using Dyzolvâ„¢
Dyzolv™ spot cleaner for spills and stains.

Re-engineered wand for high reach cleaning
The quick-release wand on DC33 Stubborn has been re-engineered for easier high reach cleaning. It's lightweight and gives an extra 10 cm of reach, extending 4.8m in total with no awkward components to assemble. Accessories can be fitted and removed with a click, giving even more options for cleaning awkward-to-reach spots like stairs and ceilings.

The structure of the HEPA filter

Stubborn dirt brush for ground-in dirt
The Dyson stubborn dirt brush has bristles to agitate and loosen dried-in and stubborn dirt. Dyson engineers put as much thought into developing Dyson tools as they do Dyson vacuums. A poorly designed tool can waste suction, fail to pick up dust and dirt and cause overall performance of the machine to drop. It's a fundamental part of the job.

Dyzolv spot cleaner for spill and stains
DC33 Stubborn comes with Dyzolv spot cleaner. Dyzolv contains four active ingredients to remove stubborn spots and spills such as grease, food, drink and dirt. It's pH neutral is ideal for wool and stain-resistant carpets.

Lifetime washable HEPA filter for cleaner expelled air
Dyson cyclones can capture particles down to 0.5 microns (approximately 200 times smaller in diameter than human hair) including pollen, mould and bacteria.

As an additional protection for allergy sufferers, DC33 Stubborn includes a sealed HEPA (High-Efficiency Particle Air) filter to trap tiny particles as small as 0.1 microns. That's about the size of a single particle of cigarette smoke. Particles this small include common household allergens such as pollen, mould spores and dust mite faeces.

And because the filter is washable you won't need to replace it. Just give it a rinse once every 3 months with cold water.

Clear bin lets you see when it needs emptying
The bin on a Dyson vacuum cleaner is transparent so you can see when it needs emptying  and just how much dust, dirt and pet hair your new Dyson machine has picked up. Emptying is quick and hygienic just press the button to release the dirt.

Approved for allergy sufferers
Dyson upright and cylinder vacuums are approved by 12 allergy associations worldwide, including the British Allergy Foundation (BAF) and Allergie Suisse. Allergie Suisse approval is one of the most stringent in the world. To secure, it vacuums have to provide constant suction and separation performance so that they don't lose effectiveness while you clean.

No bags to throw away
The bags in ordinary vacuum cleaners clog with dust and dirt, causing a loss of suction. After a while the suction can fall so low you have to replace the bag and throw the old one away. A lot of vacuum cleaner bags these days are made from a mixture of plastic and paper, which means you can't recycle them. Like a lot of waste, they end up in landfill, where they take years to decompose.

With a Dyson vacuum, you can simply detach the clear bin and empty it onto the compost heap. Biodegradable dust and fluff will be broken down naturally into useful fertiliser. With no bags to replace, you won't be adding to the landfill problem.

No extra costs
Other vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement bags and filters and the cost soon adds up. Over 5 years, you could end up having to spend up to £175. Dyson vacuum cleaners don't need bags and have lifetime washable filters, so there are no extra costs to worry about.

5 year parts and labour guarantee
You'd be amazed at some of the tests Dyson carry out on their machines to make sure they're as tough and reliable as possible. During development, a push/pull rig moves Dyson vacuum cleaners a minimum of 4,452,651 feet. The hose is kinked 7,280 times. The bin is opened 1,560 times. Upright vacuum cleaners undergo 207 different validation tests, cylinders 235. That's why Dyson are so confident in their machines they guarantee all their uprights and cylinders for 5 years parts and labour.

    Although I did not purchase my DC33 Stubborn from Amazon, I felt as though I should post a review of this cleaner for the benefit of those considering this as their next vacuum cleaner.

    Firstly, assembly. It was easy as the boxed word- and picture-based instructions were clear and simple. Within 7-8 minutes it was upright and ready to go. Next was registering the warranty, 5 years as standard is great and online completion was fast. There's also a 'phone number or postal form if you so desire these methods.

    First clean was a revelation! Setting the brush setting to "Carpets" and we're away. The amount of hair and dust sucked up from our study's carpet was unbelievable, I actually felt a little embarrassed about how dirty it must have been before! The DC33 sucked up dirt, hair and other detritus easily and only 2 passes over a spot ensured a clean look and feel thanks to the expected great suction power.
    Manoeuvring the DC33 was surprisingly easy given it's visual bulkiness, one hand was all I required to glide around the carpet and moving the head left and right into corners and against skirting. The large wheels make it easy to bump over obstacles such as shoes I'd not moved far enough away and the handle was comfortable to use. Though the foot plate for angling the cleaner from upright to the 'action' position is far too small for a real foot, a gentle weight anywhere on the front of the cleaner suffices this task.
    Next onto wooden floors and setting the brush to "Hard Floors" the DC33 again cleaned effortlessly. Movement easier on the smooth floorboards and the suction power of the DC33 Stubborn good enough to remove dirt from between the boards without needing the use of the combination tool.
    The cable length is really good, I'm able to clean our whole flat from one socket. I was very pleased with this after reading that some other new Dyson cleaners had a disappointingly short flex. The DC33 has plenty of it and it stores neatly on the cleaner using a small clip.

    Next onto using the wand and hose combo. For cleaning our high-level picture rail it was superb, the hose extends to a frankly staggering total length and made reaching upwards easy. It's also a light-weight wand allowing effortless movement of the extended head even at distances far beyond my own reach, though the weight of the hose itself weighs it down a touch. It's also great for cleaning the floor's corners, allowing me to clean right into the crevices without having to bend down or kneel thanks to it's long reach. The Stubborn Dirt Brush bundled with this cleaner is a great tool, stiff bristles allowing easy loosening of dust and hair from wooden and carpeted floors alike. It's particularly useful for me on our floorboards in the kitchen, using it to loosen and remove food particles.

    However the long reach is also this hose/wand combination's downfall. In close quarters it's a little cumbersome to use and retracting the wand's length back into the handle doesn't help the problem as it's home slot is up inside the hose itself anyway. I found for intricate work, removing the wand completely and using just the hose alone with the tool plugged into the end directly much easier. Removing the wand is a simple push-click and there was no great difficulty switching it about.

    Emptying the dirt container is really simple, Dyson really have this cracked. One catch to remove the tub from the machine and another push on this button over the bin to empty it's contents. Cleaning the filters is also very simple, access to them is quick and only a few button clicks separate you from their action positions. All the hose fittings have quick-release buttons allowing you to almost disassemble the whole thing entirely, allowing the clearing of blockages to be quick and hassle free.

    So, why did I choose the Stubborn flavour over the others in the DC33 range, the Multi-Floor and Animal?
    Simple really. For me the Multi-Floor was a pointless purchase. The Stubborn includes the dedicated Stubborn Dirt Brush and when it was the same prices as the Multi-Floor it seemed like a no-brainer to pick the Stubborn. The Animal would be wasted in our flat as we've no pets and I fear the Mini Turbine Head would never see use in our home. Though the Animal also includes the softer brush tool, one which would be quite handy for our blinds and I might have to try sourcing one of these from elsewhere.

    Overall, the DC33 Stubborn has been a great purchase and I'm really pleased with my selection. It's multi-floor application, useful tools and long reach hose and power cable make it a winner. It's been in service in our flat for 2 months now so although unable to comment fully on it's long-term benefits, I can safely say it does a great job around our home and I look forward to not having to replace it for the next 5 years.

    Happy cleaning!

    Short but Stubborn 27 Nov 2010
    If you have owned a Dyson before, be warned, this is a good 5 inches shorter. It took a while for me to get used to it as I am tall. I now have to push back and forth in smaller portions. It has very good suction and lifts the carpet in my hall which is Axminster. The wand is different as it isn't as flexible but it does actually suck.
    Overall I am very pleased and would recommend it, but if you are over five foot seven then choose another model.

    DYSON!!! 16 Jan 2011
    By beebles
    I have heard the name for years ,yet always bought other makes. Finally I wake up! The Dyson was very easy to put together, good attachments that store neatly away without falling off. My first use was a shock. So much fluff, dust and grime came off my carpets, yet I have vacumned that morning with my old Samsung.
    The long hose had me vacumning the stairs without having o move the machine at all.
    Well worth the money and very easy to register online.
