Dyson DC07 without a clutch?

[sleepdoc]

If you do find one, don't let it go. They're impossible to find now. I'm constantly looking for them to give away to other collectors because they're so rare and they are also fantastic cleaners.

To convert to a non-clutch setup, you more or less replace the entire cleaning head/ base assembly. Costly venture.

We have so many of these here ,Its easy to convert one , you can just buy a cleaner head complete , they have there problems though too, thier brush bar gets distorted on thick pile carpets and overheats causeing the area were the belt runs to distort and the whole machine starts to vibrate. the guys who do dry carpet cleaning like the non clutch because of the slightly better pick up but they replace brush rolls every month or so.
I have had a dc04clutch model for 14 years never had a clutch problem ever, infact I find it to be very reliable, when we do a service we do replace the belts on the clutch though if they look a bit stretched.

All of my loan units are clutch models and never had any issues ,

If you have a dyson and want to convert it to non clutch model , drop me an email I will gladly post you the parts. [email protected]

It isn't very expensive , if we use used parts and a new brush roll it would work out to $ 30 if that much probibly less, the SA rand doller exchange is in your favour not mine

Hi Guys

why do you guys seem to hate the clutch dysons so much, I have 3 dc07 USA machines that we have converted to run on 220volt here, all are the all floors models , . the USA models have tiffer brirtles and a much wider Sole plate opening than the UK / SA models.

We have about 15 loan dysons, dc07/14/27 all with the clutch and they never give any hassels

I was just wondering what trouble you guys have had ?

I will admit that I do prefer the twin motor design , like the dc17. that is a powerfull machine despite its hassles

DC07 Tool kit

we had the DC07 tool kit here in the uk it was very similar to the DC07 carpet

Another has surfaced

For those who it may interest, seeing as there is little talk of this machine I thought I would share this one that I just got today. Without a second guess I made the hour drive to pick up this machine, and it’s clear that I made the right choice in doing so. Once the refurb begins tomorrow I’ll be sure to attach more pictures below this post, so I hope you enjoy being brought along! I felt a little silly paying $60 for a sticky DC07 that smells of dog, however I believe the machine will clean up rather well and make a very unique addition to the collection.

Congrats!

I really like these a lot. I have the 07 without a clutch and I just sold my clutchless 14 to another collector. Probably the one of the only ones in the USA!

Here are a few more pictures I took today in better detail. The clog in the cleaner head must’ve mixed with water as some point as it was a solid brick. On top of that, the cyclone was full of mold from the moisture. While I definitely have my work cut out for me I will be adding more pictures once the vacuum is fully done.

Finished Product

Now that the vacuum has been fully cleaned out, it will be joining the rest of the collection. I’m planning on ordering a new soleplate and brushroll which are surprisingly available direct from Dysons website in the US as a set. Along with that I’ll be on the lookout for color appropriate parts to replace the discolored ones. This machine came out really well for how filthy it was and I’m very happy to have it! Once I’ve filmed a video of it I’ll be sure to link it here.

Funny old world

I really wish I could help you all find your dream machines, it seems funny hearing people in USA ssy how rare the DC07s are, I am a UK collector and these machines were and still are as common as muck and the spares are still widely available. We had lots of dysons both with and without clutches but it appears thats not the case over your end. Good luck everyone finding your dream machines.

Part of the reason was Dyson took a long time to catch on here. It wasn't until at least the 2010's that Dysons became a household name. They were also so expensive that people didn't bother with it.

Finding an upright Dyson is somewhat difficult, you do not see them every day. I have NEVER seen any in 5 years of thrift store trips. Not even an accessory or tool, nothing. I got all mine off eBay when I can find them less than $50 with shipping.

Getting parts for older models is hard too, sometimes the only option is getting them from England.

Dyson DC07 Standard

I love my Dyson DC07 Standard we have had it for about 16 years and it still works I think my mum bought it brand new for our house and i use to sit and open the vacuum cupboard and sit and stare at the Dyson DC07 Standard and thats how i got into vacuums. I still have that Dyson DC07 Standard.

Here is a picture of that Dyson DC07 Standard.
