Dyson DC14 Origin Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Carpeted Homes (Refurbished)

Product Information

It is really nice that this vacuum can get the hard floor and carpeting right up to the edge. I didn’t have to use the crevice tool at all for wide-open spaces that butt up against a wall or door.

My wife doesn’t like wrapping it up tight anyways, so it really isn’t that big of a problem, but sometimes I don’t want to take off the entire 35 foot cord to use the hose. Ease of Use This vacuum is ideal for a home with some open areas or large spaces that need cleaning. It cleans carpeting very well, so I strongly suggest it for a larger home with a lot of carpeted area. Once again I tested the Dyson DC14 with large and small particles. I probably went a little too large with my crushed up pretzels. It did a great job, but the larger pieces didn’t fit under the nose of the vacuum. It is a pretty heavy machine, so carrying it down the stairs isn’t real easy. I also don’t use the upright vacuum to clean the stairs. Dyson specializes in bagless vacuums. The DC14 All Floors has a bagless canister that sits right in front of the upright vacuum.The only other option for this model is switching it from hard floors to carpeting. All this knob does is activate the power brush for carpets, or leave it off for hard floors. The Dyson DC14 All Floors gives your floors an incredible clean. The suction power is amazing, and it doesn’t spit out any dust at all from the exhaust. The on board tools are also very nice.

It was really easy to assemble the Dyson DC14 Bagless Vacuum. No tools were required. All you have to do is slide the wand into the hose.One annoying thing about the design of the Dyson DC14 Bagless All Floor Vacuum is the fact that you have to totally unwind the cord to get at the hose and Telescopic Reach.

There is one small HEPA filter included with this vacuum, but it never needs to be replaced. According to the manufacturers recommendations, wash out the HEPA filter every six months. This vacuum filters the air so effectively, my laser particle scanner, which measures to 0.3 microns of dust, registered zero particles coming from the vacuum’s exhaust. Performance/Using the Dyson DC24 All-Floors Vacuum The HEPA filter is built to last the life of the DC14 vacuum. You won’t ever have to replace it. Also because it is a bagless vacuum you won’t have to ever buy bags or filters. No money ever has to be spent on filters or bags for the Dyson DC14 All Floors Vac. Value For Money After I vacuumed up the house with the Dyson DC14, the canister was filled with dust and debris my inferior model missed. It actually kind of disgusted me to think that I was surrounded my so much filth. This motor has an internal suppression and overload thermal cut-out, not one that screws to the outside. This makes no difference at all to compatibility or fitting.If you are the type of person that needs to see the vacuum carpet path to feel your room is clean, use a Dyson for that excellent carpeted look. I got down on my hands and knees to investigate the carpet, and it looked fabulous. I use the wand and hose with the on board tools to clean up my carpeted stairs. The crevice tool works nicely along with the stair brush for cleaning small debris and pet hair.

If you have a lavender/grey DC04 Zorbster model, you will need to make wiring adjustments to fit this motor.DC04owners: If you have a non-clutched lime green/grey or a pale blue/grey non-clutched DC04/DC04i, that has an Ametek motor. You shoulduse >this conversion kit< instead. This is where the Dyson DC14 truly excels. It does an unbelievable job cleaning the carpets. With one pass, no matter the type of mess, it cleans up with ease. To give you an idea of how loud this noise is, it is about how loud an average dog barks, or about how loud it sounds when standing on the curb of a busy road. Maintenance
