Designed by engineering guru James Dyson, inventor of the cyclonic vacuum, the 12-amp Dyson DC07 upright is an inspired combination of power and structural smarts. At the center of the machine's innovation is the Cyclone air path design, an eight-section chamber that creates powerful, consistent suction. The conical chambers generate 100,000 g of centrifugal force, pushing dust and dirt out of the airflow into the vacuum's 1-gallon collection cup. With no bag to clog, the vacuum's 270 air watts of suction remain steady. The large, transparent collection cup is easy to check and empties tidily--pop it off, hold it over a trash bin, and pull the trigger to release dirt without having to touch it. The DC07 also comes equipped with a multipart filtration system to improve overall air quality in the home. The HEPA filter, measuring 412 square inches in surface area, traps microscopic particulates and allergens. Expertly built, the filter is designed to last the lifetime of the machine.
Suitable for bare floors and carpets, the Dyson upright features a 14-inch cleaning path and edge-cleaning bristles. A simple foot pedal switches off the brush roll for bare floors, and the nozzle automatically adjusts for changes in carpet height. The vacuum is equipped for above-floor cleaning with a cleverly stowed, quick-release 17-foot hose with a reversible, extension-wand handle. Onboard accessories include a crevice tool, a dusting brush, and an upholstery attachment, all designed to function without "sticking" to surfaces. Made from the same material used in crash helmets, the vacuum is unquestionably durable. Plus, the design only puts 4 pounds of weight on the handle, so pushing and turning is easy. This model comes with a 35-foot power cord and a six-month warranty. --Emily Bedard

The best ever

This is the best vacuum I've ever used. It picks up things that I didn't even realize were there!(I mean like blonde dog hair on light carpet.) It also gets so much dirt and dust that you wouldn't even believe all the stuff in the cylindar was from one vacuum. Awesome suction just like it claims! I will never use another brand. I wish I had just gotten this one a long time ago.

This is my second Dyson and I love the product. I purchased the pink one in honor of Breast Cancer awareness. I have two of three daughters that I also bought Dyson's for and the third daughter will be getting hers soon. She wants the ball one.
Great Vacuum!

I am very thankful to be able to agree with all of the other positive reviews. I bought this vacuum in August 2008 and it has been wonderful. One week before I bought this, I thoroughly vacuumed and steam cleaned my carpet. The first time I used this I was shocked at how much dirt was still in the carpet and that this vacuumed performed as well as it did at removing it. I was skeptical and afraid to buy this because it was refurbished but decided to try it out and am so glad I did. I love this vacuum and I tell all my friends how great Dysons are and that they need to check out Amazon before they buy it anywhere else.
Not worth the $250 I paid--or even half that.

I arrived at Target the day after Thanksgiving '08 at 4AM to get this vacuum for $[...] after rave reviews of Dyson from friends. It was a tough decision as Consumer Reports says Dyson isn't worth the money because it doesn't perform any better than less expensive ones, and has no wonderful features to make up the price.
I now wonder what my friend's vacuumed with before their Dysons. How bad could their previous vacuums have been?
I have now had this one for a few months, and I'm disappointed with it and agree with Consumer Reports. My previous Kenmore cheapy, $[...], a best buy recommended by Consumer Reports worked just as well, if not better and was a much more convenient vacuum to use. (Though it didn't last more than four years.)
I didn't mind vacuuming before. Now I put it off due to this heavy CUMBERSOME contraption.
The CORD is very long, but so long that it tangles every single use to less long than a typical cord.
I was excited about the 17' WAND, but it's so STIFF that it takes all my strength to yank it to 6'. I wonder if parking a car on the vacuum and using a tractor to extend the wand would be necessary to make it reach 17'. Seriously, I have a sore back for days each time I use it due to yanking it.
It is NECESSARY to use the wand EACH time you use this vacuum, because it doesn't get close to walls or furniture. Because of this and the fact that there are so many steps necessary to hook up the wand, it takes me twice as long to vacuum now. (All three options of wand use are time consuming.)
This particular vacuum is heavy and bulky.
It isn't a good option if you have area rugs, it tends to grind them up.
I wish there was a head light.
Any attachments you may want to purchase are overpriced. They're the same as others on the market for a quarter of the cost. It makes me wonder if the vacuum itself is the same as others for a quarter of the cost also.
I hear Kenmore attachments fit this.
The included ONBOARD tools are handy.
The way to empty the CANISTER is a nice design, as it prevents much dust from rising up into your nostrels.
The FILTER being washable rather than replacable is a good idea.
Purchase of this vacuum will provide $[...] to breast CANCER research.
My husband and daughter feel silly using this PINK thing.
I'm suspicious of how many refurbished Dysons there are on the market. They're everywhere. It makes me think that the reason they're everywhere is because people buy them hoping they're worth the extra cost, and conclude they are not, and decide to return them before their receipt expires so they don't have to return them with the warrenty. Warrenties are nothing but headaches. (Find the warrenty information, figure out where to mail it, mail it, wait for the verdict, pray that it's something they will fix, what to use while it's being fixed, etc.)
Don't you just wonder why there are SO MANY REFURBISHED ONES available? My guess is that people return them to department stores claiming they don't work so they can get their money back. That's what I'm doing tomorrow morning. I'll just tell them how the wand isn't the length it claims.
Wow
