Hey everyone,
I got rid of my DC07 last year as I had acquired 2 sebos from work that were working fine. The sebo bs36 is rubbish, dust bag is 1/4 full and suction is crap it struggles to remove pet hair so I now wish I had never sold my DC07 origin. Put a new bag in and it's fine again until it starts to fill up, probably because the dirt fills the bag from the top and air enters the motor from the bottom of the bag and the bag is so tightly packed inside the compartment thar air struggles to flow easily around the outside of the bag. Any way my sebo is being sold tmrw to someone who wants to use in an office which will be fine for office use.
My home is a mixture of wooden floors, small amount of carpet on the landing and stairs and rugs in every room. I also have to vacuum my sofa daily due to my cat that seems to constantly shed hair. My DC07 Was clutchless and it used to be frustrating that it flicked cat litter about in the kitchen because of the brush roll but I have tried to avoid clutched versions due to the stories I have heard about reliability.
I am now looking at getting another Dyson as the DC07 was a good vac but I hated the way you used the hose. If there were some bits of cat litter when I cleaned the kitchen and just wanted to get the wand out to pick those stray bits up I hated having to undo the wand then flip it right round and extend the wand from inside the hose before I could use it. At least on the sebo you had the quick draw wand which made picking up loose bits very easy and then you popped it back into the main body and off you went again.
So I have several options and there's a couple of good guys who sell all of the above models refurbed and with a 6 month warrant for between £60-£100 depending on the model. Do I get another DC07 which we know is prob the most powerful one they ever made or do I go for its younger brother the DC14 which uses the same motor? How does the wand and hose assembly differ between the two models? For example when I vacuum my sofa I like to disconnect the hose part without the wand and just connect the upholstery tool onto the end of this so I would like the process to disconnect the hose from the telescopic piece to be easy as I like to get up close and personal to the sofa not be cleaning it from the middle of the room.
Or do I go for something completely different such as the DC27 or DC33? Are the motor wattages lower than the DC07/14 and would this then affect performance. The way the wand works are they the same as the DC14 with the DC07 being the only one that works differently.
Going to look at them in the shop tomorrow so I can see how easy they are myself but at the moment I'm stressing. I probably need a clutched version but not sure which one to go for. Want the performance of the DC07 but the simplicity of using the tools and wand.
Look forward to reading your comments.
Regards
Richard.
