Manufacturer's Description
Lifetime filters: DCO3 Absolute models have two lifetime HEPA filters. Unlike other vacuum cleaners, Dyson lifetime filtration means: (1) No filters to buy; (2) Constant suction and high filtration; and (3) Filters particles as small as cigarette smoke

Reversible wand: Reverse the wand to reach awkward areas more easily and with a better grip.

Dyson Dual Cyclone technology: The Dual Cyclone took James Dyson 15 years and 5,127 prototypes to develop, and achieves what other bag and bagless cleaners can't: constant suction room after room.

Lightweight and slim profile: Lightweight (only 6.9kg), and with a slim profile (only 142mm), DCO3 allows you to clean easily under low furniture and can be hung on the wall for convenient storage.

Brush control system: Dyson's brush control system allows you to switch the brushbar off when vacuuming delicate flooring, and ensures that it automatically disengages when in the upright position.

Anti-jam brushbar: To prevent belt breakage, the brushbar automatically disengages and makes a ratchet noise to warn when it is obstructed.

Two HEPA filters: DCO3 is fitted with 2 HEPA filters. The two HEPA filters are designed to retain the highest level of microscopic particles no other upright filters better. The pre-motor filter also has a bacteria-killing screen to trap and kill bacteria and mould on contact.

Ready-to-go-hose: No attachments to fit. Just press the yellow catch and the hose and wand are ready to use faster than on any competitor upright, and will reach to the top of the average staircase.

On-board tools: The stair, crevice and brush tools are stored on the body of DCO3. Always at hand, they fit directly to both wand and hose for cleaning hard-to-reach and confined spaces eg car.

Suction release valves: If the end of the hose is obstructed, the valve momentarily releases to prevent anyone or anything becoming helplessly attached to the cleaner.

Auto-adjusting head: Adjusts automatically to the right height setting for all carpet types. No need to bend down to change it. Prevents carpet wear from cleaners with manual settings where you can easily forget to adjust the dials or switches.

Clear bin: This has 4 clear advantages: (1) You can see how well the Dyson works; (2) You can enjoy watching it; (3) You can always tell when it's full; and (4) It's easy to empty

Robust construction: The body of the Dyson DCO3 is made from ABS and polycarbonate, two of the strongest materials available.

Blockage removal: A quick release window ensures that any obstruction to the brushbar can be seen and quickly removed.

Motorised brushbar All Dyson uprights have a motorised brushbar. This improves pick-up on carpets by sweeping the dust and fibres trapped in the carpet pile into the constant Dyson airflow.

Customer Reviews

Best Dyson there is.
In my opinion this is the best Dyson there is. I've tried several others, the Animal DC14 included, but none of them compare to this overall.
The main advantage over the others is its weight - at only 6.9kg it is light enough to use on the stairs, and happily sits on each stair without looking like its going to fall down. It is also slim enough to vacuum under the bed without moving the bed, which the other Dysons are too bulky to do. The wand is easy to use and the brush bar easy to get at to clean.
Only downside is that the bin needs emptying slightly more often than the other Dysons because it is a much slimmer design.
So impressed with this one, I'm on my second (hint: don't let builders use your Dyson - Dysons do not like plaster dust!)

Still going strong aged about 8years
I have had my DC03 for about 8 years and it has merrily accepted everything that we have thrown at it, brick dust plastering residue and lots of animal hair and mud. the best vacume we have ever had, my Mum uses a later Dyson with the fatter body and larger motor which is far less powerful than this old thing. Easy to get parts for and we find many are available secondhand from our local electrical shop where he strips down dead dysons for spares. A good reliable workhorse which has covered its cost many times over. Great on carpets but no use at all on hard floors for those we use a cylinder dyson which must be about 10 years old and still going strong. Have found dysons to be reliable and very long lasting.

my opinion is......
This is my first Dyson, I`ve had it for nearly 6 years, bought it because everybody raved about them. It cost £250 then. I bought this particular model as it is the lightest & if you have a bad back it was a lot easier to manoeuvre. I do like it however I find the suction on the hose not as powerful as my cheap Morphy Richards which will really suck the edges of your carpet. My Dyson has fallen over for the last time & I now need a new handle (£25)as it has broken. I only bought a new hose (£15)because that split about 6 monthes ago. So now debating whether it`s worth spending anymore on when you can buy a new Morphy Richards for less than £60. Just because you can see the dirt in a Dyson do you think it works better?
