Great vacuum but over rated

published

Great vacuum and I must say I do love it but I personally think theres pretty good competition out there now for vacuum cleaners that won’t set u back as much as Dyson does.
Does tend to tip over when full and does get lots of dust / dirt built up in the filter which is kinda hard to fully clean out.

Dyson Review

published

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 vacuum

published

This is a great vacuum, it sucks up all the really fine dust & reduces dust in the house, I only ever have to give it a once over, it holds a reasonable amount of dirt so you don't need to empty it constantly and we purchased the turbine head as well which is great for carpet area

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!

Doesn't lose suction according to advert. ALL LIES!

published

This thing doesn't like working on Lino or tiles or Hardwood floors, it just scrapes the floor surface regardless of setting, the carpet setting is useless on carpet but ironically the hard floor setting works ok-ish. I'm forever fiddling with the stupid plastic fittings on the tube and head to get it to actually clean. i'm forever fooling about with the canister to get it to suck properly. It gets stuck easily and falls over constantly. The cleaning tools are as much use as a cardboard spanner. I would have been better off keeping my $50 Kmart special seriously it was much better. I'm quite convinced i paid $400 for just a brand name that is synonymous for the rich end of town.

Its an average machine

published

I bought this from Good guys Ebay, was hoping more from Dyson to be honest, not the strongest machine
Its very heavy and noisy. the suction is not that great, i ended up a turbo brush separately for my carpet.

Spending $350 its not worthy i guess, i wish i bought a Mille machine.

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!!!

Worst Ever Dyson

published

After only being 3 years old the vacuum cleaner started to make a strange noise now it's making popping noise. Barrel gets really hot. After every use I empty the barrel and I have to clean the filter after every use.
Same thing happened to my friends and it started to smell like the motor was burnt out. We purchased them in the same day! My old Dyson is 15 years old no problem what so ever and it's still going unfortunately I gave it to a friend. $400 for this vacuum cleaner to last 3 years is a joke. 3 weeks ago the handle broke as well. Wouldn't recommend Dyson to anyone where as before this purchase I would highly recommend. Total waste of money...Unfortunately, I cannot find the receipt due to moving house to get a refund.

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.

Great vacuum.

published

This vacuum is very effective sucks up all the dirt and dust leaving no trails of dirt behind. I used it in my car after going to the beach and it completely took all the sand off & out of the seat covers. I love to use it as it cuts the cleaning time in half.

Its great

published

I have been using this for about 3 years now. Works great and keeps the carpet clean. I live in a 3 bedroom house and 2 cats, need to empty it every 3 or 4 time use, so it does a great job collecting a lot of cat hair. You only have to see how much rubbish it collects to know that it works great.

So good my husband actually does the vacumning

published

This is the first time that a product is so good that I never have to use it! My husband loves this so much I don't ever have to do the vacuuming, as it has becoming his weekly chore. We live across three floors and have a lot of carpeted stairs to keep clean so need something light and movable and this is just that. The suction is great and it is so easy to get the floor sparkling every week.

Heavy duty vacuum cleaner for all kinds of floors

We have brought this vacuum cleaner three years back and have used it on different surfaces of our house.we have practically tested out the suction power of the vacuum cleaner in comparison with our neighbours cleaners and have found amazing difference. Really shows the true colours of the carpets post vacuum and u can compare with the pre vacuuming pic.its very easy to use and quite low noise is made by this vacuum.if you have a baby or dog go for this as they don't startle when you start to vacuum . It's attachment are quite useful for doing the corners, sofas and stairs and hard floors.recommend this product

A great little Vacuum.

published

This vacuum is perfect for any home. I love the bag less use as I always would forget to buy more bags unless I saw them. It’s easy to see when it needs emptying as the barrel is clear. Manoeuvring is great. It doesn’t lose its suction and is compact enough to store away easily. Overall it is a great little vacuum with lots of power.

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

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:

Marion Lasked

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.
