The DYSON DC07 Root Cyclone is the first vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction. DYSON scientists developed unique Root Cyclone technology to achieve higher suction power and pick up more dust.

Designed by engineering guru James Dyson, inventor of the cyclonic vacuum, the 12-amp Dyson DC07 upright is an inspired combination of power and structural smarts. At the center of the machine's innovation is the Cyclone air path design, an eight-section chamber that creates powerful, consistent suction. The conical chambers generate 100,000 g of centrifugal force, pushing dust and dirt out of the airflow into the vacuum's 1-gallon collection cup. With no bag to clog, the vacuum's 270 air watts of suction remain steady. The large, transparent collection cup is easy to check and empties tidily--pop it off, hold it over a trash bin, and pull the trigger to release dirt without having to touch it. The DC07 also comes equipped with a multipart filtration system to improve overall air quality in the home. The HEPA filter, measuring 412 square inches in surface area, traps microscopic particulates and allergens. Expertly built, the filter is designed to last the lifetime of the machine. Furthermore, Dyson upright vacuums are the first and only vacuums certified asthma friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation.
Suitable for bare floors and carpets, the Dyson upright features a 14-inch cleaning path and edge-cleaning bristles. A simple foot pedal switches off the brush roll for bare floors, and the nozzle automatically adjusts for changes in carpet height. The vacuum is equipped for above-floor cleaning with a cleverly stowed, quick-release 17-foot hose with a reversible, extension-wand handle. Onboard accessories include a crevice tool, a dusting brush, and an upholstery attachment, all designed to function without "sticking" to surfaces. Made from the same material used in crash helmets, the vacuum is unquestionably durable. Plus, the design only puts 4 pounds of weight on the handle, so pushing and turning is easy. This model comes with a 35-foot power cord and a five -year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Amazing:
I was a little skeptical buying this vacuum because of some of the negative reviews about it and the price. However because everyone for the most part raves about Dyson I went ahead and bought the DC07. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my wife and two cats, and my old vacuum (Dirt Devil Reaction Dual Cyclonic Upright Vacuum) felt like it wasn't cleaning like it should. As a little test just to justify why I bought this vacuum I spent about 20 minutes vacuuming my apartment with the Dirt Devil and then... more info
Over time, this vacuum doesn't suck and that's the problem:
I have owned this vacuum cleaner for about 4 years. Recently, the machine started turning itself off after about 5-10 minutes even though the filters are clean and the canister is empty. When I called Dyson customer service, they mentioned that any fine elements (like plaster dust, construction dust or sand) will cake onto the HEPA filter and clog the vacuum. Given the claims that Dysons never clog, I was surprised. Dyson was willing to charge me $150-$210 to replace the HEPA but would not stand behind... more info
Better than my last vacuum,:
Though that's not really saying much. This little monster does a pretty good job, it gets tons of dirt in its little cylinder. I am happy with its job. The minus star is because whoever designed it didn't have "ease of use" in his priorites. Its very clunky to put together and take apart - either to empty out the can (practically take the whole front off!) or to use the wand (the entire top turns into a big gun!) That and the thing is heavy! Though the Kirby I desire in the future (I grew up with one, and... more info
Too heavy for mediocre results:
I had this vacuum for almost 4 years and I really don't recommend anyone to bear this cross. It is super heavy to handle. Also the expandable tube to vacuum the stairs is so hard to handle that I prefered to carrie the whole vacuum at every step, rather than pulling the gray "expandable" thing..
Is not as easy as is shown in the promotional videos... Beautiful design and color but too expensive and heavy for mediocre results.
