We had a dc07 animal at our Church that looked just like the one posted above, but the sole plate had no wheels left, and the brushroll was worn down to stubs that didn't even come close to the carpet. The motor was suprisingly fine, but was getting quite loud. I had duct taped the hose, as it had split while cleaning the stairs, and I removed the exhaust filter, as it had completely clogged. If I remember right, the bottom release on the bin had broken, and about a month after I moved, it and several other vacuums were stolen.
