Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for all floor types, this Dyson upright vacuum cleaner features a motorized brushbar that can be turned on to remove dirt and pet hair from carpets, or turned off to protect rugs and delicate floors. Its advanced Root Cyclone technology 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. The unit's pre-motor filter removes particles down to 0.1 micron and can be washed, while its post-motor electrostatic filter, which never needs replacing, traps harmful carbon emissions from the motor.

The vacuum cleaner also comes equipped with a quick-draw Telescope reach; the wand releases and expands 17-feet at the touch of a button for stairs and high-reach cleaning. In addition, special edge-cleaning whiskers, angled to reach down between the skirting board and the floor, flick the dust from the edge into the airflow. The intake nozzles of the on-board tools direct high-velocity airflow down into the carpet pile, which provides two main advantages. More gets picked up because the directional force of the air agitates and dislodges dust, and it keeps airflow continuous even when vacuuming curtains or upholstery, preventing them from becoming stuck to the cleaner.

Thoughtfully designed, the unit's hygienic 5/7-gallon bin quickly empties without ever having to touch the dust--simply pull the trigger. The clear bin means no bags to buy, plus it allows for easily viewing the cleaning progress and gauging when it's full. Air expelled from the unit contains up to 150 times less mold and bacteria than common breathing air thanks to the vacuum's money-saving, lifetime HEPA filter. Furthermore, Dyson upright vacuums are the first and only vacuums certified asthma friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. Other highlights include a 14-foot quick-draw hose, a wide channel for picking up larger pieces, auto carpet-height adjustment, a 35-2/5-foot cord, and an ergonomic design with a low handle that feels lighter to carry. The durably built vacuum cleaner measures 13-3/8 by 14 by 44-6/7 inches.

Editor's note: This is a reconditioned vacuum. Reconditioned generally means that the vacuum has been returned to the manufacturer, who returns the appliance to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.

Customer Reviews

This vacuum rocks
I'm a long time Oreck XL user. I saw the deal for a refurb on passwird.com, so I grabbed one. I can't believe the volume of dirt this thing pulled out of my carpets after they had been cleaned with the Oreck. It is heavier than the Oreck, but the complaints that it's "too heavy" are exaggerated. I also have had no trouble using the attachments. The trick is to completely extend the flexible hose one time. This keeps it from wanting to drag the base unit after you. The overall industrial design is great although I find the placement of the power button a little quirky. Small price to pay. I'd buy it again.

Absolutely love this vacume!!
After my mom purchased a Dyson Animal new last year, I fell in love with it and really wanted one for myself. She paid extra to get the attachments (like the upholstery tool and such) and those extra tools were a waste! They are cumbersome and truely useless. However, the vacume itself is wonderfull. So this Dyson DC 14 Yellow is the exact same machine as the Dyson Animal (purple) but without all the fancy attachments that honestly, no one needs. This reconditioned Dyson works just as well as my mom's new one, and is in perfect condition. The suction is seriously powerfull and everytime we vacume, we like to look in the canister and see what all it picked up. The machine works great on carpet and tile (by turning off the brush) and the wand is long and easy to use, and the canister is very easy to empty (but I recommend you do it outside or out of the way because it is a little dusty). The main reasons why I did not give it 5 stars is this: 1)You cannot use the machine itself on large area rugs that are very thick and have a backing on them - the machine can't get enough air flow through it and it makes a horrible noise (luckily, I dont' have a rug, but my mom does and she has to use the wand to vacume it). 2)When using the wand while the machine is sitting on hard surfaces (ie wood floors, tile) the suction is so powerfull that as you try to pull the wand to reach corners and such, the machine 'follows' you by rolling. On carpet, this is not a problem. But, I would still not give up this machine! I think I read a review once for a Dyson where someone complained that the canister filled up too soon (after one room they explained). Ok, hello, that means you have a seriously DIRTY carpet!! If it fills up too quickly, then it has picked up tons of dirt so the vacume did it's job. So overall, I highly recommend this vacume for all surfaces, and without all the crazy large attachments that cost extra. Trust me, you won't use them once you see how hard they are to use.

Life-transforming!
I never thought I would be tempted to wax lyrical about a household appliance, but this vacuum cleaner lives up to the hype 100%. I have velvet sofas that were embedded with dog hair. nothing could get the hair off them or out of the corners of my apartment. one going over with the stair attachment and my furniture is hair and dust free! the suction on this baby is so stong, it also removed dust from mouldings along the walls. Again using the stairs attachement, i was able to vaccum my mattress and the top of 2 armoires instead of swiffering while standing on a step ladder.

the design is incredibly user-friendly. i am not a particularly strong person and find the Dyson easy to move around and lift. the hose is built into the upright, so there is no awkward attaching and detaching of parts -- just press a button and the hose pulls off the main unit, and telescopes several feet out. other plusses are that the electrical cord is quite long and the canister is a breeze to empty.

just make sure that anything you don't want vacuumed up is off the floor -- this vacuum tried to swallow a metal curtain rod that was lying beneath my computer cart!

If you have pets or dust prblems, this vaccum cleaner will change your life. I looooove my Dyson!
