Review of the Dyson DC14 Full Gear
Retail Price: $549
The DC14 Full Gear, just like the DC07 version, is basically just the DC14 Animal with an extended warranty (free 1 year extra warranty and a full 3 year limited warranty). This obviously makes this particular review a little less exciting than some of the others. Nevertheless, we did obtain the Full Gear model and gave it a fair test, as we have all the other dyson vacuum models. Not surprisingly, we found that the vacuum performed exactly like the Animal.
The DC14 Full Gear has a purple, red, and gray color scheme (seen to the right). Quite honestly, we didn't find this color combination to be as attractive as some of the others available. But of course, you color preference may be much different. Besides the color scheme, the DC14 Full Gear has the typical modern DC14 style and layout.
Just like the Animal, the Full Gear has thee add-on components: the mini turbine head for pet hair removal, the low reach floor tool, and carpet cleaning kit.
The Dyson DC14 Full Gear is basically the same size as most other dyson vacuums at 44.86" tall, 14.0" wide, and 13.38" from front to back.
The base weight of the vacuum is slightly less than DC07 models at 18.5 pounds. This would be considered a little heavy if the vacuum didn't maneuver so well. Like other dysons (and most standard vacuums), the vacuum is driven by a 12-amp motor.
It is not the number of amps, however, that determines how powerful this particular vacuum is. Like all dyson vacuums, the secret to its outstanding suction power lies in the patented dyson Cyclone air path design.
A specially designed chamber with eight separate compartments that create 150,000 g of centrifugal force. All of the dirt and dust you have just vacuumed up gets thrown out of the air and towards the sides of the compartments, where they end up in the vacuum's 0.7-gallon collection canister. Because the air path remains unobstructed by the incoming debris, the vacuum is able to maintain 250 air watts of powerful, consistent suction. In the end, this translates into more undesirable material being lifted out of your carpet and into the vacuum canister.
For those who suffer from in-door allergies, you will be pleased to know that the DC14 Full Gear also comes with a 412 square inch HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is specifically designed to filter out microscopic particulates and allergens that the regular filtration system may miss. The filter is made to be durable, and should last as long as the vacuum itself.
