Very disappointed

published

This vacuum has lost most of its suction after 2 years of use. I've kept the filter clean and have checked for blockages. All clear. This vacuum does not live up to the brand reputation at all.



Purchased in May 2021 at The Good Guys for $349.00.

Disappointed

published

Had mine for 3 years and after one year my core is so twisted it can't be fixed after 2 years my wand handle has snapped in 2 places and duct taped together so I can still use it! Not sure what to do with a new vaccum now. I have always looked after it also and kept it clean

Disappointed on the quality of my Dyson

published

I had a Dyson for nearly 10 years, it was amazing. I really felt it was well constructed and built to last (I can’t believe it lasted that long). About 12 months ago I purchased a new Dyson (similar to the old one), fully expecting it to be the same quality as my old one. Unfortunately it doesn’t compare, it doesn’t clean as well, it’s very plastic, the wheel cover feel off, it just doesn’t seem to be built to the same standard. I don’t think I’ll be buying Dyson again. :(

Purchased in December 2021 at Harvey Norman for $500.00.

Disappointed

published

I had a Dyson vacuum in the previous 10 years, which I was extremely happy with. I chose to purchase a Dyson again but this time I am disappointed. The issue is the brush head which does not perform like the old one. Anything bigger than dust gets pushed along rather than sucked up. It sucks from the sides but not the front. It makes it very difficult to use on tiled stairs. I find I have to go over sections multiple times to pick up crumbs or sand. It performs better on carpet where the brush is not an issue.

A few parts have started coming lose n it doesn't seem as strong as my previous Dyson but I've given it a super workout.
Gets blocked easy but easy to unblock.
Light n easy to swivel around.
Only comes with basic brush head n two small attachments.
No power head.

great cleaning but heavy

published

This machine is a great option when you need to do intensive cleaning and a long run ! -it has excellent suction power; easy to keep clean and comes with a good warranty and spare parts service. I prefer a wireless vacuum when needing to do short on the spot cleaning but for a large house and for more detailed cleaning - windows, sofa, corners etc.... great to use !!

Date PurchasedOct 2016

A+

Light and easy to move around and clean. It alwats clean the floor good and is a lot better to use were the stand up on put alot of stress in the risk when turning so the smaller vacum is a lot better and easyer to use. Glad i got it

I thought I always did a thorough job when I vaccumed my carpets until I bought this Model Dyson. Yo

published

Not really. If I bump it on the wall maybe. I think the bottom is heavy enough to keep it ballanced. I've had cheap ones in the past from different brands get twisted and tip over. But not my Dyson. I'm really thrilled to own one. When it's time to upgrade I'll go Dyson all the way.

This is hands down the best vacuum i have ever owned. No effort required, just turn on and it works

published

No issues with tipping over.
The only suggestion i would make is that the cord be a wee bit longer. I have had this machine for about 6 years and it still works as well as the day i purchased it.
The best thing is that i have several cats and a dog and this machine picks up hair with no problem what so ever.

A great job!

published

This vac does a fabulous job in all my floors. It’s light weight, powerful and cleans beautifully. I was blown away the first time I used it to see how much better it worked than my previous vacuum cleaner. This cleaner does tip over occasionally but is easy to fix upright again.,

Great for pet hair

published

It's a light weight vacuum with a big barrel for dust collection. It's got a tile or carpet option and plenty of different attachments to use for e.g.. cleaning the car or the crevice in between cupboards. It sux... really good. I use it for pet hair on wooden floor boards and tight grain carpet. Works well for me

Great Vaccuum

published

This is a great vacuum! It’s got great suction, it sucks up so much dirt. It does tip over from time to time but it’s no big deal. We have been looking at a stick vacuum though, it can be a lot to lug around. But overall a great vacuum.

My vacuum has tipped over a few times when I hit the corner of walls. however as a user it is often more my fault for not watching where i lead the vacuum cleaner and getting it caught on either the cord on the corner and in steading going back moving the unit I pull on the nozzle.

My Dyson D37 power head makes a poping noise when engaged. I have checked for blockage and checked the filter. Any suggestions?

Dyson Team ..Dyson

A popping sound usually indicates an obstruction within the airways of your machine. We encourage running through the checks outlined via the link below which should help get your machine back up and running as it should:

Is there a power head suitable for the DC37c? I have a dog who sheds a lot and it is impossible to remove her hair from the carpet with the all purpose head that came with the machine. the machine was a christmas present from my daughter a couple of years ago.

There's a turbo head which works ok. They use air to spin the brush.
A power head has a separate electric motor in the head which spins the brush and are much better, not available for your dyson.
The main reason we switched to hoover was to get a proper power head and a bag vac so no regular cleaning of filters to maintain suction

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

For higher performance on carpets, we have a Turbine Head available for the DC37C. This features spinning brushes to dig into carpets and remove more dust, dirt and pet hair. You can find this tool here: https://shop.dyson.com.au/accessories/turbine-head-911566-05

Hi, my dc37c’s vacuum head wheels aren’t rotating freely anymore. Is there a way to take them off to clean them? I have tried force but couldn’t take them off. Is there a trick? Could you please assist

Try spraying some WD40 in behind the wheels to free them up.

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

While the wheels of your DC37C's head aren't designed to come off, we encourage using a pair of needle nosed pliers or tweezers to remove any debris stuck behind them. We encourage avoiding any lubricants on any part of your machine.
