Dyson DC39 (page 2 of 13)

Love this vacuum cleaner, bought it cause I have a dog and cat, suction is fantastic, (just hope it stays that way) not to bad to maneuver, I've had an Amway 2000 for about 30 years still works great but thought I would get a barrel, very happy with it fornow

Suction lost product lasted 4 years, waste of money in my opinion, would have been better off purchasing several cheaper items. Not worth the name they try make it live up to. Handle ended up loose turbo head doesn't even spin anymore. Will not purchase another in the future and will not recommend.

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.

After wanting to own a Dyson for it's powerful suction i was disappointed that its performance didn't live up to the hype. Starting with the positives, the vacuum is very easy to move around easy to put together. Performance is ok as will pick up most things from tiled floors. The negatives, the vacuum is not good at picking up hair from carpet, the plastic parts are a little flimsy. Considering the price point of Dyson and performance i would not recommend this product.

Powerful vacuum, able to pick up everything (including all my long hairs) with no issue however I found it slightly clunky and awkward to manouvre around at times. Quite heavy and sometimes just found it too hard to bring out for a small clean up. Overall still a great vacuum and does what it is advertised to do.

Like many I invested in a Dyson vacuum cleaner expecting a long lasting, effective machine. However after 5 years it no longer works and requires a $120 replacement triggerhead. Definitely not worth the money! The problem is that after making that big initial investment I feel compelled to persevere with what is already an annoying machine - the ongoing cleaning and maintenance is time consuming and the constant need to clear the brush of hair whilst vacuuming is really annoying.

I've had this machine since 12/2014. I was told to invest in a good vacuum when I got my big hairy dog. Definitely made a bad choice. Turbine head replaced. Filters replaced twice. Cyclone assembly replaced once and the faults repeats. Now I have to go through the not so wonderful Customer Service again. And I agree with the other reviewers, frequently clogs up. Can't even pick up anything that is not dust without clogging up. The only way to unclog is to remove 2 screws. Who's got time for that?

This is an absolute waste of money!!! Tips over, clogs up, loses suction, not user friendly at all and definitely not worth the money!! Dyson vacuums are very overrated!!! They are generally a waste of money as they only last a few years and when warranty is up, they only help Dyson give you is to buy a new unit!!! Shocking product, shocking company!!

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.

After my first dyson blew up after 7 yearrs I thought I would stand by dyson and pay big money to purchase this one. After 2.5 years it got a burning smell and blew up. Dyson honoured the warranty and replaced the motor. That was last november and now the same thing has happened. Dyson say I should have replaced the filter. So much for them being life guaranteed. 3.5 year's is all I got out of it after paying $670. After reading these reviews it seems they have been designed to only last 3 years. I think this is a fair go issue

This vaccum is fantastic! Sucks up dirt really well...until you suck up that inconspicuous piece of Lego your kids left on the floor.

This isn't just like your regular vacuum where you pull the middle off to unclog it, the part that leads into the dust catcher is ridiculously narrow. To unclog it, you need to remove screws and sometimes stick a coat hanger down there to dislodge bits that have stuck there. I seem to spend more time unclogging this machine than I do vacuuming.

Getting my kids to do the vacuuming is a small night mare as they constantly get it clogged.

I spent so much money on this machine too. If it weren't for that horrifically narrow passage way to the dust collector, this would be a great vacuum cleaner.

BANG, SMOKE and its gone. For a machine that is at the top end of the price ladder for vacuums, did not make to much of an impression. I was forever cleaning out the bend at the end of the hose leading up to the barrell.
Very disappointed, and think I will definitely look at another brand.

There was loud roaring noise Followed by a burning smell and then GONE. There goes an overpriced vacuum. I might just go back to the mainstream brand, at least they're cheap enough to replace.

It was my second dyson, the first one was superb. Easy to clean, no mess. And it lasted years.

This one, DC39 was a major disappointment. It's messy to clean and the suction gets weaker just with the slightest blockage.

And then, it just suddenly stop working. Not gonna invest again another $1000 for such an unreliable machine.
