Here is the base...


As you can see, the brushroll isn't designed all that great! It does a pretty good job though.

These early DC01's with the fixed sole plate perform pretty well, as they have better suction at the cleaning head and actually stick to the carpet, unlike the later DC01's with the cradle type sole plate that pivoted, it leaked a lot of suction on those type, I don't know why they changed it, this style works much better!

Last but not least, the tools...


The small tools can be used on the end of the wand, or, you can take the wand off and use them directly on the rubberised end of the hose, however, to do that, you first need to put the little adapter on, to enable the small tools to fit. The small tools are pretty well designed and do a good job.

After restoring it, here is the bin after a test run, you can see the Dual Cyclone Technology is actually really efficient and work really well.

You can see. the large debris, is collected in the first cyclone...

And...


The Very Fine particles are captured in the second (inner) cyclone, then the clean air exists the top of the cyclone and out of the machine, passing though the pre and post motor filters on its journey...Very simple and works perfectly!

Impressed

Fantastic work restoring it! It truly look like brand new now.
I wish more bagless vacuums would use proper dual cyclonic system. Not too complicated and MUCH better than the single cyclonic system. All that fine dust in the center would be in the pre motor filter with the single cyclone system.
Not necessary to have complex multi cyclonic system.
DC01 is definitely very collectible vacuum. Much better (my opinion) than the new Dysons. New Dysons might clean better, but I don't like that flimsy plastic.

My dc01 was in pretty good condition when I got it. my basic refurb later and its pretty good, your da001 is like brand new - If/when I get a da001 I will do my prime refurb - where I take it to top level

I like it Alex!

it's the same colors as the Dyson Air Blade hand dryers.
It's nice when all they need is a good cleaning.
