Dyson DC54 Animal

H I have a Dyson 54 and it just doesn’t have good suction
The brush head doesn’t spin anymore and we have cleaned it and nothing is blocking the hose
Do I need to look at the whole head replacement or just a brush

I purchased this vacuum cleaner, two years ago, and i absolutely love it, i have six kids one of whom has Asthma, and this machine has been the best investment i have ever made, my sons Asthma is 100% better, it picks up so much dust love it.

My wife brought a dc54 for $ 800 thinking these were the top vacuum cleaner.After 5 years.the turbine head stopped spinning . i cleaned the vacuum and then strip the turbine head and it has stripped the gear under the inner belt. Now it will cost $135 to buy a new head.Unfortunatly we have 2 dysons and i wonder how long the other one will last.Very pricy vacuum cleaner but very poor quality.

My Dyson doesn’t have a problem tipping over but it has very little suction and doesn’t seem to pick up everything off the floor. My $50 aldi vacuum cleaner did a better job. Purchasing my Dyson was a very big regret as it was not cheap and I expected it to work much better. There is no way I will ever purchase another Dyson

This vacuum is not worth the money it cost. If I paid $300 instead of $800 I would say it is worth it maybe. The suction is terrible, it sucks light stuff off the floor but a piece of thick cotton or similar you have to go over it 3 or 4 times before it sucks it up. I bought a $79 vacuum from Kmart and it does a better job than the $800 dyson.
I will never buy another Dyson product.

I am now using my original dyson from 2001 that was much easier to empty. I am hesitant to update with another newer model. I was initially impressed by extra suction, however emptying the machine after each room vacuumed was exhausting. Inhaling clouds of dust every time definitely put me off doing this chore.

The suction on this model is pretty amazing. Ive seen other vacuums clean but this one you can tell everything has been thoroughly cleaned!!! Didnt expect anything less from a Dyson.

My only irk with this model that didn't reach it's 5 star potential is clearing the filter when its full. It looks easy but the silver button doesn't come out as easily esp when hair and stuff are tangled on it whilst you're inhaling all the dust.

Easy to maneuver and to get under things like the fridge without having to bend too much. Fairly quiet. I’ve been using this vacuum cleaner for about 3.5 years and it still works perfectly. So strong and works well every time. Doesn’t take yo too much space in the cupboard.

We purchased this vacuum after having issues with cheaper vacuums. We thought if we bought a premium vacuum, that we would get a quality product. We were very disappointed. This vacuum feels very cheap and has trouble cleaning our floors. We had better results from vacuum cleaners at a fraction of the price

This vacuam has no suction and a bad design for storage.it is the worst vacuam I have ever used and total waste of money. We have always had dyson and found them great don't no what went wrong with this rubbish they made. Would not recommend this hoover to anyone

It's a very strong and powerful vaccum cleaner I've ever have. It picked up all the long hair from my dog completely from carpet. It's very clear how much dirt in there so you don't need to open it or guess. The price is way so much expensive, but with such result, I think it's really worth it. The power cord is also quite long that I don't need to keep changing the power plug position.

The suction of this unit it great going over carpet to tiles. I don't like how cheap it feel with all the plastic it's easy to manoeuvre, coming to emptying the unit is a challenge Dyson didn't design the dust bin very well. I believe the never model is designed much better.

I used this vacuum for a single storey four-bedroom house with wooden floor boards and carpet and it cleaned up nicely. It came with all the attachments that I needed for the different surfaces as well as a few other accessories for small crevaces and corners.

Never ran out of suction power and was easy to clean since it's a Dyson without a bag system.

I've owned the DC54 Animal for about a year now. It is so light and easy to move around the house, and picks up everything with ease. I have a mixture of tiles and carpet, so I made sure I had a hard floor tool and also the motorised head, both which work very well. Only draw back is the bin. It only takes a very small amount of dirt before you have to empty it, and seems to collect in one side of the bin only, therefore necessity of emptying it even more often. Otherwise, it does the job beautifully.

2 and a half years ago...bought a dyson DC54. 2 year warranty.
6 months after warranty expires, turbo head hardly works and power is minimal to what it was.
Seems they reel people in with an 'awesome vacuum' from a company that spends more money on advertising than ensuring their products actually last.

23 minute wait so far to be answered on dyson customer service line

I purchased Dyson DC54 as it advertised asthma friendly for $898.00 at Good Guys. As I thought it is better to spend extra and buy a good vacuum. I decided to buy Dyson DC 54. However, it's rubbish and waste of money. It's better to buy a cheap one which perform better than Dyson DC54. It's hard to ampty the dust. I contacted the Dyson customer service within 1 month when I had some issues with the vacuum. Dyson's service is worse than Dyson DC54 animal. I feel like their advertising was customer misleading as they advertised it as better for asthma and dust allergies. Now it's stop suction now. Even I don't want to fix it. Better buying a cheap one.
