Here's an interesting design video about the DC01
-
Wow! Didn't expect it too be interesting in the first few seconds but it really is!
-
Yep! It's quite a good design for their first vacuum I think, people still use them in 2017 I bet.
These things are such solid tanks

Very Similar to the 04, which is kinda similar to the 14:
And we all know the DC14 are "Tanks" Just with a poor engine expectancy
-
In life there is a reason for everything :)
-
Ikr, the DC14 is THE tank and king of the Dysons, just need a longer lasting motor in them!!!
DC33's are crapping themselves already (one of the worst Dysons imho for reliability) whereas the DC14s still go strong

I really enjoy using our DC14. Deffo one of my fav machines:
These are my fav machines in order, Hopefully gonna get one of each one day:
1)DC04 De Stijl
2)DC14 Origin
3)DC03 Clear
4)DC04 Absolute Purple Lime
5)DC04 green/silver
6)DC04 Yellow/Grey
7)DC07 (That black cycloned one thingy... Yeah forgot its name
-
OK just realised - if THE important bits are yellow then why are the wheel centre caps yellow???
are they not just asthetic - Im sure they are,
-
Why are the yellow bits most important? It's just to make it look nice. DC01 also came in blue, the absolute+ had purple bits and the DeStijl had red!

I have two questions here:
I've heard the 14 motor life mentioned a few times - what fails with them? My own is 8 years old....
Also, what is the general issue with the 33? I just fixed one up for my brother in law. It seemed similar enough to the 14 to not be an issue?
-
I know what you mean, it's the same motor as the 04 and 07, pretty reliable unless the machines blocked up or it's had alot of use/runtime, just like any vacuum really...
-
Heh, ok. Mine has had decent run time but I've replaced the HEPA filter three times over the life of the vac and wash the prefilter and cyclone regularly. I'll make sure my brother in law does the same with his 33 :)

We have no problems with either. Fitting decent motors is the key (http://dysonmedic.co.uk/cheap-replacement-dyson-motor/). Many here like the £10 eBay ones and you get what you pay for. :coffee:

Understand that. I'd rather pay a bit more and buy one that will deliver the greatest suction, whichever that may be. All the legit motors I've seen hover around $75, so +/- $10 isn't going to make much of a difference to me. But, that's another problem for another day. I have 3 backup vacuums so there would be no rush, even if it dies tonight :))
-
You guys have different motors to us over the pond I think anyway.
-
That would logical. We have half the voltage, except for our washers, dryers, HVAC, ovens, water heaters... :boggleeye:
-
The tank of the dyson is the 04, 14,27,33 all use the same motor and are all just as strong. The only difference is the 33s plastic wand but its very robust once you are used to it.
-
My neighbour (probably) hates their DC33. They had it from new and had loads of issues within the 5 year period:
Blown motor within a few weeks
Keeps getting it's filters dirty after like a month or so
Clutch wore out
The wand keeps breaking (first time the red end came off as they are glued- new wand under warranty. Second wand lost a plastic ring which made the wand leak suction without it)
Hose ripped- DC33s have crap hoses
Snapped chassis- seen loads of them break in the same area just above the duct, but under the switch housing. This is the stupid flex. the DC41 flexes less in the wand area and the chassis area when using it as an upright.
So, anyone reckon a DC14 is good for them? I know the clutches are the same but still... qtex belts and that init
The DC33 isn't too bad, they just vacuum fast and are rough on their machines. They just need something more robust. The performance of the 33 was fine..
Also:
When you vacuum fast, the pushes and pulls against the chassis are all there, the top part just flexes. And the same happens when people lift their Dyson from the back (in use) to put it onto a rug or something for example.
-
Oh and I'm also not a DC27 fan either, esp when refurbing them it's just the parts are forced to fit into place! :o Their brushbars are also softer than a normal clutched Dyson for some reason.
The DC04/07/14 are lovely though.
