Question about Dyson DC07 Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum
Might be the hepa filter needs cleaning? This is located in the housing on the side of the cleaner at the bottom (see your manual to find it). It is a big spongy ring which Dyson say you should remove once a month and wash in warm water. Dry off and replace in cleaner when completely dry. I've found this works and the suction is like that of a new machine!

Check the filters as well as hoses. filters need replacing regularly or at least cleaning

The picture says do not use water on the filter.

I can think of 2 things first do"s the clutch{ if it has one}work or is it in the off postion you can test this by lying the dyson on it"s side and turning it on but remember to push down on the bottom as if you was hoovering if the brush spins then its ok if it dosen" move then replace it second take the bucket off and remove the bin tune it upside down and see if it is blocked if so the best way to clean it is to sit it upside down and put a hose pipe in then just wait till the water runs clean hope this is some use to you

I have had Dyson All Floors model,( the one with the clutch
adjustment to allow transition from
carpet to hard floor) for a number of years. Recently pick up from carpet
particularly poor. Went through all the solutions as recommended on Dyson
website. No blockages, no broken sole
plate, bristles (should be around 7mm to
8mm long) protruding ok from soleplate ( these can wear slightly over
time but not usually the problem), belt not broken nor slipping. Filters
cleaned/ replaced, but still poor pickup. Checking for strength of suction, as
recommended by Dyson, both at top of hose and at bottom right inlet revealed no
problem there. It turned out the clear
inlet hose coming from the soleplate to the underside of the machine was the
problem from two viewpoints. Firstly, as can be expected, the clear hose
can develop splits after a number of years due to wear and tear. The other, not
so obvious, problem is that the hose is also a form of straight spring which is
designed to be compressed to a certain degree to an S shape when the machine is
in the upright position. Upon pulling the handle back, whilst pushing on the
footrest at the bottom results in pressure from the hose/spring being applied
to the rear of the sole plate, pushing it on to the carpet. Thereafter the
suction takes over, keeping the soleplate firmly fixed to the carpet. The
existing hose on my machine had settled in to an S shape over the several years
I have had the machine, thereby not pushing firmly enough the rear of
the soleplate on to the carpet ( I
noticed a significant gap at the rear whilst using the machine). For the couple
of splits I had effected a temporary repair using a couple of very narrow
strips of Gaffa tape, whilst awaiting the new hose/spring, but only a marginal'
if any, improvement. Upon receiving and attaching the new hose/spring the solepate
was properly pressed onto the surface of the carpet and pickup was like new.

having the same troble. It is almost like the auto carpet height adjustment is off, but I cannot find a way to adjust it.
I have the same problem - my hose was torn but was able to salvage with duct tape - took it all apart and still no suction. Disheartening for a vacuum that is marketed as never loosing suction.
sucking power is poor
The suction in my vacuum does not work. The hose is clear, it will not pick up
Suction to strong sticking to floor can't move vacuum forward
I purchased a Dyson vacuum on 1/15/14 and the store had a Free DC34 handheld offer but purchase date needed to be between 12/8/13 and 12/24/13. Would it be possible to honor the offer?
