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

Product Information

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. Sometimes your strongest asset can also be a weakness. This is the case with the Dyson DC14 All Floors super suction that never decreases. Rugs obviously rest on hard flooring. When I use my Dyson, the rug edges get pulled up off the ground at times. 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 vacuum is large, so when it’s not in use you probably have to dedicate a spot in your closet for it. It’s not going to sneak into any tight spaces. Cord management and Length

I can reach up and get any renegade spider webs with ease. Also the stretchy hose is nice for getting into tighter spaces. I can use this vacuum for cleaning up the inside of my car. 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. 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 MoneyWith the additional three feet of Telescopic Reach the hose extends up to 17-feet. I have a vaulted ceiling and can reach up to the top with the help of the extended reach. The tools that attach to the hose include an upholstery brush, a stair brush, and a crevice tool. You do have the option of detaching the Telescopic Reach and just using the 14-feet of flexible hose. This is nice for vacuuming up a car or other spots with tight angles. Floor Selection If you have a lavender/grey DC04 Zorbster model, you will need to make wiring adjustments to fit this motor. This filter is washable, and you only have to clean it out every six months. Make sure to let the filter completely dry out before you start vacuuming again.

Finally, the Telescopic Reach and stretchy hose give you a reach of 17-feet. This is excellent for my home because of the vaulted ceilings. This motor replaces 220-240v motors labelled with YV-511, YV-2200,YV-16K24EE,YV-16K24ED and YV-16K24EC. Next up I tried a smaller particle test by dumping white flour on the floor. Once again, the Dyson cleaned it all up with one pass. It leaves a nice carpet trail in its wake. 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 UseThere are two large rear wheels that make it easy to move the vacuum around when you are cleaning, or just pushing the vacuum to the place you want to clean up. Vacuum right off the edge and then return to the center and start again. The rugs get super clean, but you have to use a little cleaning savvy to avoid the grinding noise. Performance on Hard Floors 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.
