My Dyson DC14 Animal

[rootcyclone]

Hi there,

I'm new to Vacuumland. I have been interested in vacuums ever since I was little, specifically Dyson vacuum cleaners. So, I'd post a picture of my Dyson DC14 'Animal'

More pics will follow.

(my DC14 is mucky inside the bin, apart from that, it is in perfect condition and is 7 years old and never needed a huge fix or motor change. What do you think of it?)

Very Good Condition for 7 years old!

Welcome to Vacuumland BTW!

Never liked Dyson's myself that much though.

Thanks parwaz786 ! Here's another pic of my DC14 'Animal' with it's mini turbine head, the second one Dyson made which has settings for both carpets and hard floors. So you can actually turn the brush bar off! Unlike the newer mini turbine heads from Dyson.

Hi there Tim,
I am in the East Midlands too where abouts are you?

Hello dysondestijl,

I live in the Leicestershire area of the East Midlands, i'm not going to give my exact location away. But as a clue, I live in the town which is the food capital of the world. See if you can guess

I have seen some of the posts you've made on here and some I have seen the same carpet that you see on the YouTube channel petsandvacuums? Do you own that channel on YouTube?

 

[dysondestijl]

Yes that is me

Woo hoo! I feel welcomed I need to get me some more Dyson's and soon Numatics as I love them both. Been looking at a DC07 All floors in like a sky blue/turquoise colour, one of the later 'All Floors' variants. It's on ebay for £29 in fully working order and looks to be clean (ish). Apart from that bin!

One day I will get a Henry! But probs a James sooner, as I prefer him to Henry as he is smaller. What do you guys think? Henry or James, which one is better?

I like a Henry better, I want the Henry Xtra, and PS I am Parwaz786 n youtube, and also vaccollectors2010!

PS I like your house, it looks soo cosy! Mine's not very nice, we have small rooms, but its a terraced house tho so maybe not expecting much but I like the 3 story and 5 bedrooms

Thanks for the comment about are house Its not big but not small, indeed it is cosy in the winter months when it is cold. Kinda of a medium house. My DC14 Is well suited to it, although on the rug it can struggle slightly picking up smaller debris. The bristles don't dig down that deep. But after a few passes gets it all cleaned up!

Welcome to VacuumLand Tim

 

[rootcyclone]

Thanks guys!

 

[dysondestijl]

I prefer James to Henry aswell!
I own them both BTW

 

[thekirbylover]

well if you want to manually wind up your cable go for the james but if you want cord rewind get a henry

 

[rootcyclone]

True. Anyways, slightly drifting off subject; is the Dyson DC07 All Floors (blue) a good cleaner? I haven't had a DC07 IN AGES! So I've kinda forgotten what the performance is like. I want all my vacuums to run you see and be functional round the home! Any info people on the DC07 Performance?

 

[parwaz786]

the Dc07 performance is same as the DC14, but earlier ones are slightly more powerful, the latter ones are loud! Dc07 is an amazing machine
