Dyson DC39 Allergy

Suction was good, was a bit noisy, ok to manuever, wood, ceramic and carpet but Compared to my other Dyson, it has been a bit of a disappointment, bought for $749.00 from Myers Melbourne, it just stopped working, funny smell, cleaned filter, etc. won't turning on, couldn't have happened at a worse time, at the moment can't even afford to get it fixed. DYSON can you let me know if it could be the motor?

Won't bother writing much as I unfortunately bought the same piece of rubbish, $700 vacuum with a 3 year life span, as all the other reviews.my experience: sucks good for a month as long as you clear out the blockages in throat every 10 minutes. Gradually gets worse even though you follow the service guidelines until eventually the motor screams, smokes then dies, typically just out of the warranty period. BUY AN ELECTROLUX.

We had a DC39 vacuum for 3 and 1/2 years when a problem arose with what appeared to me as the motor. I was offered an option to take in for a $65 service + parts. I was a bit scepitcal but my wife, Maria said it would be worth it. and it definitely was. We took it to Osbourne Park, Perth depot and the lady there said she will get it sorted and we left it to her. She called me back within an hour and said it was fixed and would only charge the service fee of $65 as it was nothing major.

So for the price this vacuum retails for you would expect it to out last any other cleaner on the market and you would also expect the warranty to be longer than 2 years.
For the price I paid I could have bought 6 average vacuum cleaners over the last 3 years.
Engine has seized after only 3 years. Minimal use on average 2 hours per week if that. Customer service is not very helpful and keeps referring to the standard 2 year warranty vacuum came with. Will not be buying anything branded Dyson ever again. Dyson is just overpriced and very bad quality/workmanship. You should be ashamed of yourself ripping people off like you do. Not surprisingly this model is discontinued because it has loads of complaints.

This is the second Dyson i have had in 4 years. First one the engine blew after 7 weeks and this one has last 3 and a bit years. Engine blew up again.
Seriously Dyson a $950 vacuum only lasting 3 years? I use my vacuum 4 times a week. This is just not accepatbel at all.
Do not call this the Ferrari of vacuums when it is only a Hyundai. Very average.
I now have a house full of dog hair and no vacuum.
I can buy a vacuum from Bunnings for $100 with a 2 year warranty. You should be offering a 10 yr warranty considering you charge 10 x times more.
No wonder this was discontinued.

I've had this vacuum for a year and am delighted with the fine dust it picks up and really good suction. But yesterday when cleaning the car, I removed the stem and inserted the nozzle brush combo attachment directly into the handle. No matter what I did, the attachment wouldn't come out. The button wouldn't depress to remove it. I rang the customer service number this morning, described the problem, was asked what I'd done to try to remove it, and within minutes she had collected my details and had a new handle and attachment on the way. That sort of customer service matches the quality of the vacuum. Very pleased with the cleaner and Dyson's customer service.

After two 10 yr stints with a major brand that required servicing every year, at a cost, we purchased the animal model for pet hair. We've had it a couple of years now and it has done very well, is so light and easy to use, that I now do the vacuuming. We have just had the wand handle break for no apparent reason and I'm waiting for the glue to dry as I print this. I've looked up the cost of a replacement part and am surprised how reasonably priced it is. Just got to figure out how to order it...LOL...

yes we are so happy of it.
we had an old model,after 15 years of using it we gave it back to Dyson and with 30% of the new item we did buy another one .
just to make my wife happy
as they say ( happy wife is happy life )
so go for it guys and make your wife happy

I brought this model just under 2yrs ago. It worked fine for the first few months, then the suction started to drop. I clean it out after everytime I use it aswell as the filter and no difference at all. I should of got the multi floor one as I find this head that comes with the allergy doesnt work well om floor boards at all
handle
suction and head

We bought this to replace an Electrolux model which did us well but died too quickly. The suction on it is fantastic. We have three pets and I'm an asthmatic with a massive dust allergy. The machine picks everything up. It does struggle a little with larger things, but the pickup on fine dust is what we wanted it for. Would definitely recommend it.
Suction is great, moves really well
A little loud.

Cheap plastic wheels .very awkward .Pet har pickup not real great . DC23 motorhead waay better .
If your going to buy a dyson for carpet get an upright their barrel cleaners dont come close .
ok on hard floor not great on carpet .ITends to feel heavy on carpet but ok on hard floors .definatley not good on rugs

The Dyson vaccum cleaner performs exactly as described. Makes cleaning a breeze. Clever design with excellent suction. Stores easily and is easy to clean. The additional attachment for cleaning beds etc. works really well on couches also. If you're looking for a vacuum that does that lot and is easy to use, it is worth paying the extra dollars for a dyson.
excellent design, excellent performance
