Equipped with Root8 Cyclone technology, this Dyson upright vacuum cleaner ensures thorough, efficient cleaning with no clogging or loss of suction. Dyson proves no loss of suction using the IEC 60312 Cl 2.9 test standard. Effective for use on all floor types, the unit's motorized brushbar can be turned on to remove dirt and pet hair from carpets, or turned off to protect delicate rugs and floors. Specially designed edge-cleaning whiskers, angled to reach down between the skirting board and the floor, flick the dust from the edge into the airflow. The unit's on-board tools include a stair tool, brush tool, and a crevice tool .

Providing the highest levels of filtration for cleaner expelled air, the unit not only comes with a HEPA filtration system, but also a washable pre-motor lifetime filter, which removes particles down to 0.1 micron. The cleaner's hygienic 5/7-gallon bin quickly empties without ever having to touch the dust--simply pull the trigger. The clear bin allows for easily viewing the cleaning progress and gauging when the bin's full. Other highlights include a wide channel for picking up larger pieces, auto carpet-height adjustment, a 35-2/5-foot cord length, a maximum reach of 52-2/5 feet, and an ergonomic design with a low handle that feels lighter to carry. Made from ABS and polycarbonate, the same materials used to manufacture crash helmets, the vacuum delivers unquestionable durability. The 12 amp vacuum cleaner measures 13-3/8 by 14 by 44-6/7 inches and carries a 90-day warranty.

Customer Reviews

Love my new (refurbished)Dyson DC14 FullKit:edited
It's now July 2008. The Dyson is great! And when I finally read the instruction, I realized I'd been needlessly suffering using tool attachments with the wand in place... the wand is removable!!! That allows easy access to furniture, stairs, anything. The really great thing is that the rotating furniture/stair attachment works fantastically when the wand isn't in the way... the rotating brush keeps going when doing our carpeted stairs and velour furniture. Cat hair is gone!!! I love this thing!

OK. So I just got it and only used it to vac my upstairs (without moving furniture... just a quick test) and it took me barely 10-minutes for about 1200 sq ft of hard floor. It cleans great! It's extremely quiet, which makes me think it might be broken since Consumer Reports (and some reviewers of the DC 14 all-floors) said it was noisy. But after using a Hoover canister for the past 20-years, this thing is fantastic. Don't let anybody tell you that it doesn't do hard flooring. I highly recommend this vaccuum. I'll give a futhher review after a few weeks of use (and when I've had a chance to use all the tools). Consumer reports also gave it a lower rating for ease of use, but I put it together and got it going easily without reading the manual (don't tell Dyson!).
p.s., the cat was scared, but nowhere nearly as freightened as he is with the LOUD Hoover.

Miles above Hoover WindTunnel
We had been using a Hoover WindTunnel that we'd purchased five years ago from the factory store for 180. While it seemed to work reasonably well, it was just incredibly loud. And it was heavy and not so easy to maneuver.

What we like about this Dyson, which we purchased after reading an incredible number of reviews here at Amazon and elsewhere:

1. noise level, compared to the WindTunnel, is surprisingly quiet. We don't have to yell to hold a conversation while vacuuming.

2. Aesthetics. Going from Hoover to Dyson was like switching from Dell Dimension to Apple iMac.

3. Suction, of course. Every other review here which claims shocking amounts of dirt being picked up the first time is TRUE. Our landlord had steam-cleaned the carpet just a month before we moved in. It really was shocking to see how much was in the dust bin after the first vacuuming.

4. Ease of dust disposal. Really quite easy!

5. Not having to stock vacuum bags.


It's not a small sum to spend on a vacuum. However, we have a baby who's just about begun to crawl, and we convinced ourselves that getting a really good vacuum that can keep the floor clean was for the good of the baby. You can justify all sorts of spending when the baby comes! :-)

We were also considering getting an Oreck, but we weren't so satisfied with their XL Air Cleaner.

Finally, got my Dyson....
I've wanted one of these since they came out on the market... but I had a Fantom Thunder, which was no cheap purchase itself and I couldn't see spending the money for a Dyson.

Last week, the belt broke on my Fantom, so I finally pulled the trigger and ordered this DC 14 Full Kit Dyson. I read all the reviews of the different models and felt like I picked the best one...

Today, I have been sweeping, and sweeping, and sweeping, and I cannot believe the amount of dust, dirt, and dog hair I have picked up! I thought my Fantom was amazing, but this is truly awesome!

I gave it four stars out of five, because I am not 100% pleased with the price. I do believe it is overpriced due to its popularity. I also worry a little about the lightweight plastic that it's made of... I hope it lasts... The last problem I see is that the instruction book is totally worthless... not good instructions at all... it's made for people who can't read apparently, because you mostly have to go by the drawings and diagrams. We had a little trouble assembling it, and that was frustrating.

All in all, I am very pleased that I bought it. I compared many different Dyson models as well as other brands as recommended by Consumer Reports, and I really think I picked the right one.

If you are wavering on whether or not to buy one, I say do it!
