Mine are: Dyson DC01 standard (Childhood family vacuum)- We never had a vac last in our household for more than 3 years! even till present.
Dyson DC03: my first own Dyson in 2006, Cool design but rubbish performer and loud!
Dyson DC04 lime, absolute and zorbster
DC05 motorhead and absolute green, along with the standard
DC07 low reach, Allergy, All floors, Animal and standard
DC08 Animal TW
Dyson DC11
Dyson DC14 earliest origin, and DC14 animal early & late, and allergy + blitz it models and overdrive :D

Dc21- Wanted one for a while
dc24 baby ones are cute :D
DC25 Animal and All floors/ Multi floor, Missed a lot
DC27- Used one and it was fab
DC33 Animal
DC44 slim
DC41 is so RUBBISH I hate it! bLEH! Cant stand them, yes I know I am a Dyson fan but they are not made like they were anymorre :(
 
What is your favorite Dyson?

I liked my DC23 canister. It had a lot of suction and I liked the Dyson designed tools. My favorites were the tool used for the hard surface floors and the brush designed to be used for dusting blinds.
No trouble selling my Dysons when I sold off my collection, they went fast.
 
I like my DC17. My experience with Dyson's is limited though, so I haven't gotten to try out all the models. That thing picks up insanely well though.
 
Ditto Joe - DC04 was the best vacuum they ever made! Relatively sturdy (certainly more so than anything that came after it), very strong suction and decent pick up, even on the clutched models. They were far lass bulky and awkward to use than the DC07 and DC14 that followed and far more sturdy than the current models.

The DC41 is probably the best I've used for carpet pick up, but I'm not a huge fan of "The Ball" and find them to be very flimsy, especially considering they're almost £400 new.

The worst has to be either the DC02 or DC03. Both were a complete joke in terms of performance.

EH? Are you Jamie? What? I am FREAKED OUT! You like Dyson? For real? NO WAY! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
PS The DC03 is worser than the DC02, I found the DC02 to be Okay, but not good and atleast the DC02 is better made than the Dc03
 
If he is, then he is silly
Why hate Dyson Jamie? They are decent vacuums, They are powerful, have the best suction, and are good at filtering, and also are quiet, well depends on the model, just try a DC14 or DC15, or better, a /DC25, and you will like Dyson, be honest, you liked your Dc04 but started bashing Dyson when you sold it, they are decent vacuums, better than any VAX or whatever, I know they are not the best, but if you hate Dyson, then you might as well hate any bagless vacuum made
 
Sorry Tayyab, but your posts do make me laugh!

Say what you like about Dyson - love em or hate em, but they are NONE of what you said. They don't have "the best" suction, they aren't that good at filtering and they are CERTAINLY not quiet by ANY standards.

I'd love to know what actual experience you have to be able to say that you know they are the best. Personally, having used almost, if not every, model of Dyson going at one time or other and owning an absolute heap of vacuums since I started collecting, I've found that they are indeed the best bagless vacuum going. However, Dyson have spent far too much time thinking about marketing gimmicks and attempting to refine the cyclone assembly and have completely missed other features that make a good vacuum, such as build quality, brushroll design, ease of use, easy to use and access tools. I don't want to have to stop vacuuming and take half the cleaner apart to get to the hose, just to pick some crumbs up from the corner or dust off the skirting board. I also want to be able to vacuum under my bed without moving it.

They have strong suction and in many aspects are very well designed, but they are let down by poorly engineered brushrolls, poor tools and a poor build quality that doesn't reflect the high price of the machine and always have.
 
Chirs...

I agree with you, mostly, I think the hose and tools are quick and easy to use, the tools are quite well designed, but they need to improve the ferformance of them cause there are many older cleaners and many new cleaners that pick up better, they need to make a brushroll that has stiff brushes that are close togther, and to do away with the tracks in the sole plate because it causes you to have to make more passes where dirt is left behind.

Dysons are sealed systems and do have excellent filtration...Untill you empty them!! The suction is Excellent, but I think the Vax cleners, which are the majour bagless uright competitor perfom, A LOT better and are cheaper, however, they don't have the same bagless technology, if the VAX Mach Series Brushroll was put in a Dyson, they would probably be MUCH better!

I disagree, Alex. Especially on cleaners like the DC07, it was particularly notable that fine dust was escaping around the gaskets on the airways. If you leave it for long enough, you'll notice. It's different from model to model though, the 07 and 14 were the worst ones I noticed for it.
 
In the USA, the DC17 would have to be our 'best' model. It was designed specially for our carpets, with a really good brush roller (far better than the 'hairy stick' he used on the DC07). The DC17 is, in my opinion, the deepest cleaning Dyson upright next to the DC28. Sure hope Dyson gives us a good electric power nozzle for the DC54 - the turbine heads are horrible on U.S. carpets.
