Due to changes in the industry, our
DC04, DC07, DC14, DC27 and DC33 motors now have four buying options:-
Budget: These are what the suppliers call 'made to a price'. These are made to serve the bulk market where people buy on price only
(eBay and Amazon for example). I am not terribly fond of them, but some people want
cheap.
Premium: These are the super quality motors we have always used and sold that are made in the USA. As the pound is poor against the dollar at the moment, the price of these has risen a little of late. These are the ones we recommend. These are the ones we use on our own machines.
Genuine: While we are adding options, we decided to add genuine in there as well. For those that prefer a genuine part that comes in a Dyson box, we have now made the most popular YV2200 motor available from that page too.
Genuine DC04 Ametek:These are the long-obsolete Ametek motors we still have. Genuine Dyson part number 911930-01. These are only for non clutched DC04's that are lime green/grey, silver/orange or grey/blue.
It is normally impossible to judge the quality of what you are going to buy online when buying a motor for your Dyson
(because you don't know what the seller will send you), and buying on price alone can be a false economy as this article suggests:
Cheap Dyson Motors - 150 Reasons Not To Buy One. So we have decided to completely demystify it by offering three variants with honest descriptions. We think it better the end user can make an informed choice when buying a Dyson motor. We expect other sellers will follow our example.
