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

Purchased in April 2021 at The Good Guys.

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.

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.

Dyson Review

Still working after 6 years of service. Its a bit clunky on the storage capability but i know that this vacuum will get the job done right, each and every time. The attachments are easy to snap on and off and i ended up buying an extra wood floor attachment that works well on tiles.

Great for multi floor

published

We have had this vacuum for about 7-8 months and it has revolutionised our cleaning experience. It is great on tiles, floorboards and carpet.
A little heavy to carry up and down stairs but it’s suction power and dust bin capacity make up for it!
It’s also relatively quiet and easy to manoeuvre around furniture!

Love my dyson

published

I've owned mine for 3yrs and it hasn't failed me once. It had great suction, easy maintainence, doesn't fall over like my cheap brands used to, easy to get under and around furniture. I have carpeted bedrooms and floating floorboards through the rest of the house as well as tiles in bathroom etc. I can do the whole house with the one head! Love it so easy!

Cool Gadget with Good Suction

published

Just got this vacuum a few months ago during the big eBay sale. Apart from the slightly inadequate packaging I was very happy with this product. For one, its suction is unparalleled with any previous vacuum I've had before. Its design is very unique and you can see that every single bolt has been screwed in with consideration for the customer's convenience. Great machine!

BEST Vacuum

published

One of my favourite brand with strong suction that can suck up anything on the floor. My last one last almost 9 years and the suction was still great!!! I don't know what I will do without my Dyson. I use it daily and I also have a handheld one to help with my dusting on the window seal, bed frames etc. Great products!!!

Excellent vacuum

published

I'm very happy with the performance and suction of this vacuum. It even helped suck in a lot of water from carpets after a mini flooding accident. Very quickly helped us dry the carpets. It definitely makes some noise, but cleaning is easy. A little difficult to manoeuvre with the barrel and shape of the equipment. However, it is still great and you can vacuum large living, sleeping areas including cleaning bathrooms. Suitable for carpeted and tiled floors.

DC37C Multi Floor

Hi,
My Dyson DC37 is four years old. I'm finding I need to clean the filter just about every time I vacuum now. Do I need a new filter?
Thank you

We certainly wouldn't expect you to need to wash the filter every vacuum and will be happy to help.

Please forward your details and the serial number of your machine to our Dyson Experts via [email protected]. We will be in touch shortly to help get this sorted.

We are in almost the exact same situation, but our dc37c is only 3 years old.

Hi Robert, We replaced the filter and the gasket - now works perfectly - Check out the link here https://mendit.co.nz/dc39_cyclone_gasket

DC37C Multi Floor

I have received a DC37C for Christmas and want to know if it is good for picking up cat fur. If there is a better machine, what would it be?

3 answers

Hello Julz, Honestly i do not own any pets so i could not answer that, but in general i have had my for a few years now and not 1 issue, Picks everything up off the floor as it is meant to do.
I can not see why it would not pick up cat fur.

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Julz,

Thank you for your query.

While the floor tool for the DC37C is effective on carpets and floors, for removing pet hair, a head with rotating brushes to capture this will be more effective.

For your DC37C, a Turbine Head is available as an accessory to provide this powerful cleaning. To order, please just give us a call on 1800 239 766 with your machine handy. Our helpline is open Monday - Friday 8am - 7pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30am -4pm EDST. At time of writing, these are available for $129.

Best wishes,

Shan

Hi Julz,
This machine is not good for cat hair. We have two cats (short & medium hair) who shed a lot. Our downstairs area is tiled where most of the fur collects. Whilst the suction is good the multi floor head that comes in the box is awful. It seems to push debris around rather than suck it up and the fur gets caught in all the bristles. I spend more time pulling cat fur (and other junk) out of the bristles than I spend vacuuming. It's not pleasant. Hope this helps although it sounds like you're going to be out pf pocket if you actually want to use the vacuum effectively.
Melanie

DC37C Multi Floor

Which is better model the DC376 multi floor or the UP16 multi floor?

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Cath,

Thank you for your question.

It is quite hard to compare these models as one is an Upright and one is a Barrel machine. When choosing between a Barrel and Upright we always find it best to recommend to stick with what you are used to as the transition can be tricky.

Both machines are suitable for both carpets and hard floors however the UP16 comes with a spinning brush which will provide superior pickup on carpet. If you have the majority of your flooring in your home as hard floors we'd recommend the DC37C.

So we can provide you the best advice and answer your specific questions we'd recommend for you to contact our helpline on 1800 239 766 directly. Our helpline is open Monday - Friday 8am - 7pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30am - 4pm EST.

Best wishes,

Samuel
