Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Dyson DC07 Upright Vacuum, Steel/YellowCustomer Review: It's a vacuum... Summary: 3 StarsWe purchased ours from [...], refurbished. It arrived (after a long wait) as others have said, "Dirty, used." Debris in canister, machine very dusty, and some type of seed pod stuck in the rigid extension tube. Called customer service, displeased with this and was pretty much told, "Well, you did buy a refurbished one..." No offer to send it back free, no offer to clean and return it to us, etc. In fact, customer service said unless it was deemed broken we would incur all cleaning, repair, and shipping charges.
Now on to the vacuum.
I detest the rigid extension pole. Inflexible and I don't see how this adds to the design or function.
This vacuum does not vacuum close to baseboards. For this area you must use the rigid extension pole or disassemble the pole and get down on hands and knees to clean with the softer short part of the hose.
The hose, extension pole or not, is not long enough to have vacuum cleaner at bottom of stairs and reach up to top of the stairs. Must do bottom stairs with vacumm at bottom of stairs, then haul vacuum cleaner upstairs to clean uppermost stairs. (Thankfully we saved the extension hose from our old dead vacuum and it sort of fits together with Dyson's hose, so we can get away without hauling it if we use that and it doesn't come apart.) Dyson's photo of the person vacuuming stairs is misrepresentation of how long the hose is.
It is a powerful vacuum for basic floors (other than the edges, that is.) Like others have said, it removed dirt and lint from our carpets that we didn't know was there because we thought our carpet was clean after using our other vacuum.
I like the bagless canister. A little dusty for disposal into trash, but at least I know when it's full and can tell if I vacuumed up a toy and easily retrieve it.
The cord wrapping/storage area was an afterthought by the company. When the cord is wrapped up on its 2 storage hooks, you are unable to pull up the extension pole and use the hose piece for vacuuming. I would prefer to be able to unwrap only a small part of the cord, vacuum a small spill, and be done without having to rewrap the entire cord again.
Not as noisy as our old vacuum was.
Description of Factory-Reconditioned Dyson DC07 Upright Vacuum, Steel/YellowFactory Reconditioned DC07 Upright Vaccuum; the first vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction. Designed by engineering guru James Dyson, inventor of the cyclonic vacuum, the 12-amp Dyson DC07 upright is an inspired combination of power and structural smarts. At the center of the machine's innovation is the Cyclone air path design, an eight-section chamber that creates powerful, consistent suction. The conical chambers generate 100,000 g of centrifugal force, pushing dust and dirt out of the airflow into the vacuum's 1-gallon collection cup. With no bag to clog, the vacuum's 270 air watts of suction remain steady. The large, transparent collection cup is easy to check and empties tidily--pop it off, hold it over a trash bin, and pull the trigger to release dirt without having to touch it. The DC07 also comes equipped with a multipart filtration system to improve overall air quality in the home. The HEPA filter, measuring 412 square inches in surface area, traps microscopic particulates and allergens. Expertly built, the filter is designed to last the lifetime of the machine. Suitable for bare floors and carpets, the Dyson upright features a 14-inch cleaning path and edge-cleaning bristles. A simple foot pedal switches off the brush roll for bare floors, and the nozzle automatically adjusts for changes in carpet height. The vacuum is equipped for above-floor cleaning with a cleverly stowed, quick-release 17-foot hose with a reversible, extension-wand handle. Onboard accessories include a crevice tool, a dusting brush, and an upholstery attachment, all designed to function without "sticking" to surfaces. Made from the same material used in crash helmets, the vacuum is unquestionably durable. Plus, the design only puts 4 pounds of weight on the handle, so pushing and turning is easy. This model comes with a 35-foot power cord.--Emily Bedard Editor's note: This is a reconditioned vacuum. Reconditioned generally means that the vacuum has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the vacuum back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes. Manufacturer offers a 6-month warranty on this reconditioned product.
