Review of the Dyson DC07 Low Reach cont.
Retail Price: $399
There is no doubt that this vacuum has amazing suction power. Like the previous model, the DC07 Low Reach's cyclone system delivered enough power to suck up nearly all the dust and debris we could throw at it. It's power is most obvious when going over smaller area rugs, which the vacuum quickly tries to digest. It performed quite well on our hardwood floors as well, leaving very little pet hair or other light material often past up by other vacuums. Of course, you will need to use the wand tool to get tight corners and edges (despite the so-called edge cleaning whiskers, which did an acceptable but incomplete job) . Also, we want to point out that it is possible to turn off the brush using a foot operated control. Although the vacuum will still try to suck up your area rugs, this will at least keep the brush from clawing at your rug fringes and hardwood floor finish.
So how low can the Low Reach reach? That is perhaps the question of most interest to those looking to buy this particular dyson. Overall, the vacuum did okay on the low reach tests. The base unit couldn't quite get low enough to reach under a low-sitting sofa. We needed to use the floor tool in order to reach into this area. And this too presented a slight problem, as the attachment has a small lump that makes it difficult to get in tight spaces. We were a little disappointed by this, but it's important to point out that the low reach can in fact go lower than any other upright dyson currently offers. Whether this is low enough is largely up to the furniture you have and the job you need to do.
We tested the DC07 Low Reach vacuum on several occasions over a period of time, and construction of the vacuum is quite solid. Although the plastic exterior may appear easily breakable, we have found it to be both sturdy and durable. Like any vacuum, you can expect to accumulate scratches, but with the dyson there's very little risk of any major damage from regular usage.
In nearly every way, the DC07 Low Reach vacuum is identical to its DC07 sister, the All Floors model. The major difference in the two is the low reach floor tool, which allows you to vacuum under tables, chairs, beds, and whatever else you can think of. The only model-specific design flaw you may want to consider is the hump that impedes some movement under low-sitting furniture, such as sofas. In many cases, however, the floor tool is long enough to reach the length (or most of the length) of your piece of furniture.
Dyson DC07 upright vacuum cleaner with patented Root8Cyclone technology has double the suction of other vacuums. Tests show Dyson's suction is double after 10 ounces of dust. Others lose suction - the more you use them, the less they work. Dyson DC07 Low Reach Scarlet, Red Upright Vacuum for easier cleaning under low furniture. The Low Reach has all of the features of the DC07 All Floors plus a low reach floor tool which attaches to the reversible wand to clean hard to reach places such as under beds and sofas.
