letsbeon Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I was in my local Costco today and say a Dyson DC14 (white and grey) priced at $199.97. I think this model is an older one. However, with the price being under $200 with the Costco return policy this seemed like a very good deal to me...what do you all think? Should I buy this vac or not? Gotta say, I love Costco!!!
abentley Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Umm, I may be the only one who is not a Dyson fan. I bought one, used it for 2-3 weeks, and returned it. I ended up with a "Hoover windtunnel2". I was replacing a kenmore progressive, and it was 10 times better than the Dyson, and so is the Hoover. I wanted to "love" my Dyson...I really wanted to, but it just didn't happen. It is a great price at Costco...and they do have a great return policy, if you don't like it!!
hwolf6330 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I would say it is a good deal. I have a Dyson and I love mine. I went through vacuums every year because of animal hair and dirt the kids track in. It was worth it me because of the 5 year warranty. I had mine over two years now and it is still going strong. I know some say they are not worth the money, but everyone is different. If they have a good return policy, try it out.
Shiloh59 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Its a good deal. I paid about 400.00. They lied about it not losing suction though. Have put mine in shop already 2x. I do love the way the hose comes unattached to use tho.
Marcster Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I've had my DC14 Animal for three years. It's been in the shop 4 times. Fortunately, Best Buy's extended warranty has covered everything for me. Better get an extended warranty!
Azzycat Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I've had my DC14 for 5 years. We chose not to buy the extended warrenty. We had someone borrow the vaccuum one day and they broke our hose. Dyson overnighted me a new hose, for free. This was 1.5 years after we bought it. (at the time we bought ours, they only had a 1 year warrenty on it) I had trouble getting suction this spring. Customer service spent over an hour with me telling me how to fix the problem myself. There are hardly any complicated pieces with this vaccuum; I love how you can take apart the entire thing yourself (except the motor). The problem was solved. While putting it back together, I mentioned a part was worn, and we had lost the crevice tool 3 years ago. They sent me both a new crevice tool and a new part, for free, on UPS. They have thumbs up for me. I'll never go to a bagged vaccuum again. I've heard great things about the Hoover Windtunnels, but I love being able to empty out this vaccuum and see how much dirt and pet hair you pick up. I think if you are interested in getting a Dyson, Costco is a great place to try it out :)
littlesdcen Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I have had my dc07 for 3 years. Not a single problem other than regular cleaning and filter rinsing. Loved it so much went out and bought another one for our office at work.
guilliam Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I've had my dc14 for over 5 years and haven't had a problem at all with it (knock on wood LOL) I LOVE it!
MelissaS Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 We love our Dyson! The awesome thing about buying it at Costco is that you don't need to purchase an extended warranty. With the exception of TV's & computers (90 day return policy), everything has 100% satisfaction guarantee, and there is no time limit. This is why I love Costco. :)
Joli Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I love my Dyson! I would snatch it up for - that price it probably won't last long.
letsbeon Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 okay guys...thanks for all the input, both + and -. I took the plunge today and bought the vacuum. I'll let you know how it works out.
nat1jen Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Have you tried it out yet? I love my Dyson. Nothing has sucked up the dog hair like my Dyson. You can't beat the return policy at Costco. Anything that ends in a .97 at Costco is a markdown, so you got a good deal.
letsbeon Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Finally vacuumed this past Sunday with my Dyson, and I love it. It works great and is particularly convenient when vacuuming the stairs because of the super long hose and tools that attach. YIPEEE!

debbieshops2003 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks...now part of the Dyson family!!!Congrats on your new Dyson! I love my DC14. I got mine at Kohls about 2 years ago during an extra 30% off sale. I LOVE IT!!!!
nat1jen Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I just vacuumed our playroom b/c all of the furniture has been moved out of the room. I got an unbelievable amount of dog hair, dander, and crud! The Dyson is great with dog hair. it gets the really fine particles, etc. :)
Sugar&Spice Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Wow! Awesome price for a Dyson. Congrats on a great deal. Love mine.
