Found a DC07 Orgin at the tip but i never took it. i stole the cyclone and wand for the animal. if you are wondering why i didn't take it because its had a split kickplate, no brush bar, belt and no sole plate. clutch on it was broken and the hoover had an aftermarket black cable on it

just a wee bit of plastic broken off near the clip to remove the cyclone from the machine. its the wrong colour but its better than nothing i suppose

Not bad, a good wand is £15 delivered from most places. The bit of damage on the cyclone is negligible too, nice finds!

A wee update. this hoover has went to my papas to replace an crappy electrolux vitesse 1800w hoover. not a fan of it it was nosey as hell and it kept clogging alot

. i gave up with it and decided i give him the DC07 since i was not a fan of it. his old hoover went to the tip with all the other electrolux's there, so at least can hold hands when they get destroyed lol

. oh and they where no dyson's there bugger.

here is a picture what it looked like

what a pice of crap smaller than the DC01

My friend has 1 of those & the only problem he's ever had with it, was the power cord breaking where it entered the machine. His old lady is a clean freak & she's happy with it. They had a Dyson before that & she found it too heavy, so they sold it & bought the elux.
Like anything, it has people that don't like it. If you look at the reviews though, there are a lot that do like them & find they work perfectly well for them.

I've seen those in black badged as Zanussi, absolute rubbish, after 5 min, the filler is blocked, belts don't last very long ether. And you need ear defenders

As I said like everything else, you get good & bad examples. You get people who dislike them & people who love them, if your comparing them to a Dyson then no the elux doesn't have the same build quality & won't last as long. Having said that, what does it cost ? About a quarter the price of a Dyson.
The belt on my mates machine has been changed once since they bought it & she has 1 filter on while she's cleaning the other, machine gets used daily & emptied regularly.

It has a pleated filter. It could be the best designed, maximum airflow machine available to buy, but it's crippled as soon as you fit a pleated paper filter!

So It's the pleated paper filter that's the problem with them, so that would also apply to any vacuum cleaner that used them then ?. Several manufacturers do & yet don't seem to have any problems with them, a lot of elux users find them perfectly good cleaners so possibly not a problem with filter design.
Maybe it's got a lot to do with lack of cleaning / emptying on the part of the user.

beko1987 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 14, 2015, 07:36:26 pm »

That is mainly the problem, people dont clean them out every few weeks, ehich causes it to grenade itself as the filter becomes so deep down clogged washing wont help it any more.

And of course its a flawed design, having the filter in the bin. Hence its long been superceded on all but the cheapest machines, although ive seen many multi cyclonic vacs fare worse
