Product Description
The Dyson DC14 vacuum offers strong suction, durable construction, and the best innovative solutions to common vacuuming situations. Dyson's 'Root Cyclone' maintains powerful constant suction. It's suction is channelled right to the edges of the cleaner head, unlike many uprights. Its specially-designed whiskers, angled to reach down between the skirting board and the floor, flick the dust from the edge into the airflow. For copacetic cleaning, Dyson's offers the best. The pre-motor filter removes particles down to 0.1 micron and is washable / The post-motor electrostatic filter traps harmful carbon emissions from the motor. This filter never needs replacing. The intake nozzles of the DC14 tools direct high velocity airflow down into the carpet pile. This has two main advantages - *You pick up more because the directional force of the air agitates and dislodges dust *The airflow is continuous even when vacuuming curtains or upholstery preventing them from becoming stuck to the cleaner Lifetime HEPA filter - Air expelled from a Dyson has up to 150 times less bacteria and mold than the air you breathe. Clear bin - There are no bags to buy / You can always tell when it's full / It is easy to empty Height - 44.86 Width - 14 Depth - 13.38 Weight 18.56 lbs Motor wattage - 12 amps. The power of a vacuum cleaner is best measured in airwatts (suction power). Motor wattage simply tells you how much electricity a cleaner uses. Bin capacity 0.71 gal Cord length 35.4ft Maximum reach 52.4ft Manufacturer's 5 year warranty

 Thorough cleaning. November 17, 2008

I bought the DC14 All-Floors to replace an old smelly (bag) Hoover with little suction and a bag-less broken Dirt Devil, and I love it. I've owned just about every vacuum there is (except the Kirby, I just don't think anyone should pay that much for a vacuum), so I did the research and decided to try something different. It's different alright. The first time I used it, I was shocked at the amount of dirt, dust and dog hair that it picked up. I haven't had it very long, but right now, I'm very pleased and don't think I'll ever go back to anything else.
It's a little heavier and bulkier than it looks in the pictures, but very easy to carry and move around, more so than other vacuums I've had. The placement of the handle seems to balance the weight out nicely. The main reasons I bought this vacuum are: long hose for high ceilings and fans (it really does stretch out to 17 feet) and all floors (with one quick movement I can go from carpet to wood). The head is too big to fit under the furniture, but so were all my other vacuums, so using the wand isn't anything new. However, I love the fact that I can simply slide the wand out and unsnap the hose without having to stop to unplug and replug anything - fantastic.
The owner's manual is pretty self explanatory. It gives all the parts, placement of parts and maintenance suggestions plus a trouble shooting guide. It was very easy to put this vacuum together and I was using it five minutes out of the box. Like anything else, preventive maintenance should insure that it lasts and works well for a long time. I like that Dyson offers a five year limited warranty.
We'll see how I feel in a few more years, but for now, I absolutely love it.
 TERRIBLE November 14, 2008

I can't believe that Dyson makes vacuums like this! I researched vacuums for 3 days, and finally decided to buy the Dyson because of the positive reviews. Maybe it's my bad luck, but after ONE WEEK, I am returning my 2nd of two of these vacuums, and finding another brand.
Not once, but TWICE, the rotating brush cracked. The first vacuum I got through my first room no problem, and halfway through the second room the vacuum started making a horrendous noise. I looked to see if anything had been sucked up inside the brush (odd, since the carpet was brand new), and found the brush cracked. Worried, but optimistic that this was a fluke, I took the vacuum back to the store (Dyson support was a complete joke... the woman actually accused me of dropping it off of my truck! HA!). I exchanged the broken vacuum for a brand new one (same model) and took it home. Two days of vacuuming my two rooms, and I suddenly heard the horrendous noise again. I knew right away- and sure enough! Same exact thing- a cracked rotating brush. TERRIBLE!
I spent $350 on this vacuum (the Dyson support rep seemed to think I should be happy that I got the vacuum so "cheap") was about $349.50 more than I would recommend anybody spend of this hunk of junk.
This piece of garbage is on it's way back to the store, and I'm on my way back to the world of vacuum reviews.
I love my new vacuum cleaner! November 4, 2008

I have had my Dyson DC14 for a month now and it is wonderful. It is easy to use once you get used to it. I really like the wand and hose. I see a lot of complaints about how heavy it is. I don't think it is any heavier or bulkier than other upright vacuum cleaners. So far, it seems easy to maintain. I also purchased the attatchment with the beater bar to use on my furniture and it works great. I am amazed at how much dirt is actually in my floors and furniture, it's kind of disgusting. But with the Dyson, I am eliminating that problem. I think the price isn't bad either.
Junky piece of plastic! October 11, 2008

I was so excited to get this vacuum and now I am so disappointed in the product! After only 4 uses, a piece of the handle that holds the hose attachment in place has broken off and now the vacuum cannot be pushed in the upright position. The bulkiness and weight of the vacuum made it tough to handle in the first place, but now it is almost impossible to push it around the room and it is impossible to pull it towards you, without it falling apart! I am totally disappointed in this product. Save your money and buy something else.
 Nice engineering, average performance October 8, 2008

I just returned a Dyson DC14 Animal to Costco because I was unimpressed with certain aspects of the vacuum. First, it picked up slightly less stuff than my old HEPA bagless Dirt Devil that cost me $150. I found the long hard extension wand to be too long and clumsy to use and the 17 foot reach advertised is very dependant on the length of said wand. It was extremely hard to push at times depending on the carpet fiber density. The beater bar clutch system is extremely annoying; I transitioned from standard pile carpet to an inexpensive oriental style throw rug and the beater bar clutch disengaged the bar with a very very loud ratcheting noise. When I disengaged the beater bar manually, the machine is very hard to push. My old vacuum would just navigate over both surfaces without a fuss and was much easier to push. When I took the canister apart, I could see where the small holes in it could clog easily as others have noted. I did not think this machine, while very well engineered in many respects, was worth $400+ dollars.
