Factory-Reconditioned Dyson DC14 Low Reach Upright Vacuum
Named for its power and uncompromising approach to pet hair, the Dyson DC14 Animal upright vacuum cleaner is skillfully engineered by James Dyson, inventor of the world's first cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner. Unlike bag or bagless systems that often lose suction power from dust clogging the bag or filter, there is nothing to obstruct the airflow of this unit. Its Root8Cyclone technology features conical chambers that generate 150,000 g's of centrifugal force, pushing dust and dirt out of the airflow into the vacuum's 5/7-gallon collection cup. With no bag to clog, the vacuum's 250 air watts of suction power remain steady.
Its large, transparent collection cup is easy to check and is both hygienic and quick to empty--simply pop it off, hold it over a trash bin, and pull the trigger to release the dust without having to touch it. There are no bags or filters to buy. The vacuum comes with a pre-motor filter that captures particles down to 0.1 micron (e.g., pollen) and is washable. Its post-motor electrostatic filter, which never needs replacing, traps carbon emissions from the motor. Approved for allergy sufferers by the British Allergy Foundation, the vacuum's lifetime HEPA filter doesn't clog and provides cleaner expelled air. With its automatic carpet-height adjustment feature, this upright vacuum maintains constant contact with the floor to maximize dust pickup, and its brush bar turns off at the touch of a button to protect rugs and delicate floors. The Dyson is ideal for bare floors and carpets, with suction channeled right to the edges of the cleaner head.
- Factory-Reconditioned to "like-new" condition; Includes 6 month warranty
- The first vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction. Others clog and lose suction- Dyson suction stays constant
- Instant stair and high reach cleaning. Wand releases and expands 17ft at the touch of a botton
- Wide channel for large pieces. Picks up bigger pieces that others can leave behind
- Easy to carry ergonomic design; Low handle feels lighter to carry; No extra costs. Lifetime filters that don't clog, no bags to buy
Specially designed edge-cleaning whiskers, angled to reach down between the skirting board and the floor, flick dust from the edge into the airflow. Large pieces aren't missed, either, because of its wide channel. For easier cleaning under low furniture, the low-reach floor tool attaches to the wand to clean hard-to-reach places such as under beds and sofas. For instant stair and high-reach cleaning, the vacuum comes with a cleverly stowed, 17-foot quick-release hose. Its 35-2/5-foot power cord, along with the hose, provides a maximum reach of 52-2/5 feet. The unit weighs 18-3/5 pounds and features a low handle that makes it feel lighter to carry. Designed for heavy-duty household cleaning, the upright vacuum measures 44-7/8 by 14 by 13-3/8 inches.
Editor's note: This is a remanufactured vacuum. Remanufactured generally means that the vacuum has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the vacuum back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes. The manufacturer offers a 6-month limited warranty on this remanufactured product.

Factory-Reconditioned Dyson DC14 Low Reach Upright Vacuum / Report June 28, 2006
Vacuum works great, my husband uses it almost daily! The day we got it he vacuumed for 3 hrs! So when my husband will take up vacuuming it is well worth it!
Excellent for those who have arthritis! / Report April 26, 2006
I have arthritis and back problems, therefore had great difficulty sweeping until I bought my refurbished Dyson. The unit itself is not light to pick up, but it requires only four pounds of pressure to push...very easy sweeping. That makes all the difference for me! The suction is outstanding and the materials are very durable. This vacuum is a real pleasure to use.
Works extremely well! / Report March 25, 2006
The DC14 works extremely well. I am much happier with it than my top of the line Kenmore cannister vacuum. It seems to pick up items extremely well, is light and easy to get rid of the waste.
The only issue we had was a clicking sound at times. After talking with Dyson (great by the way), they solved the issue. They indicated that a rubber seal could be taken out to distribute the airflow in a slightly different way. Upon taking this out, the sound went away. According to Dyson, this sound is the 'clutch' not engaging due to an exceeding of exceptable torque to rotate the brushes. In other words, this was a 'feature' to keep the DC14 from breaking.
Great suction. Refurbished is the way to go! / Report March 18, 2006
We bought our Dyson refurbished DC14 right here on Amazon. The unit arrived in a very timely manner, but unfortunately, it was unuseable because the handle would not stay in the vacuum. Apparrently the device that you are supposed to hear "click" into place was missing a spring. After a call to Dyson, they immediately sent us out a replacement handle with no hassles what so ever. Once installed, the Dyson perform really well. It does indeed have great suction. I think that one improvement that would be nice is to have a powered beater brush instead of one that is activated by the suction power. It is very light, which makes me skeptical of the long term durabitly of the vacuum. There is lots of placstic parts used. This vacuum replaced my well built, 12 year old Kirby, which uses mostly metal. I believe this is a Excellent vacuum (...)Only time will tell.
