I dont know why, but the Dyson DC14 Blitz It ( Red) is probs the best vacuum we ever had! its reliable, it gets bashed into furniture, has excellent suction, my brother was carrying a HEAVY bag and dropped it which also contained fine powder, like 2 litres of it! I vacuumed it with the dc14 and I was expecting a dirty filter, but I was GOBSMACKED! NO dust on the filter! The hepa filter also has a nice rubber seal and filters excellent, clutch works brilliant, i just need to get it a new brushbar and bin flap, and also a crevice tool because they are either worn outthe dc14 is my best vac, i wouldnt trade it for a dc41 dc37 dc39 dc50 dcwhatever put together, thats how good my dc14 is, its the perfect vacuum for my house! But it is a little bit fiddly putting the wand back in as its not as easy to slide in compared to the dc01 or dc25 etc, the dc04 has a smooth design
