Dyson DC03 Vacuum Cleaner Review & Demonstration

Here's an early Dyson upright and one of the lightest and slimmest Dyson produced. I like the design of this model but it wasn't one of the best performing in the range. Unfortunately this grey Dyson has succumbed to the dreaded lurgy and turned green in places.

[@WasherFan75]

I quite like these machines. They are quite interesting looking. My grandparents have this same machine and it has never let them down since they bought it new!

[@Dankcatvacs]

wow

[@pintmarten2403]

I remember my neighbor had one in the very early 2000's when I was wee and thought it was the coolest vacuum ever, Fast forward 18 years and I did get one from the dump that was functional but didn't perform well like the video describes, I gave it to someone I went to high school with for her first flat in the end. It's a classic case of"Never meeting your heroes".

[@parwaz7861]

You should get a DC14- probs the best old school Dyson designed

[@zackaboy1236]

I agree

[@CORNERofTECH]

Parwaz 786 I have that and the DC01, but I 100% would take the DC01. It’s also a De Stijl. I think the DC04 De Stijl is the best ever because of the clutch!

[@leomc9775]

I agree the best 200th vacuum ever

In the USA, we got these as the Fantom Fury and it had a similar setup but the filter not being like that. It had a headlight and height adjustments.

[@ryanwild5889]

Which DC07 Model was it?

[@zackaboy1236]

@@ryanwild5889 I’m not actually sure, it was yellow and grey, and an upright

[@ryanwild5889]

@@zackaboy1236 probably DC07 Origin or Standard

[@zackaboy1236]

@@ryanwild5889 Probably, either way that machine lasted us ages until it finally lost its suction, although that’s probably because we never cleaned the filters

Loved seeing the old school Dyson in action

[@elizabethrowlands9419]

still using a 1997 model , upstairs only these days , one belt fitted 5 or 6 years ago , maybe a jam caused that , have never cleaned or replaced the filters ! picks up fine .later dysons looked and were heavy .and it is green now ! comprehensive video !

[@ethanwishart6681]

Would be great to see you do more demonstrations and mess tests of old dysons again

[@parwaz7861]

Yes that is actally an early model, it's a UK model and the earliest ones had the red cyclone stickers just like the late DC01s and DC02s and very early DC04/05s as well Edit: The early models did have two carry handles, like yours has, but the later ones and certain models lke the Absolute+ and the white "i" version etc don't have it

[@marcusmaximus451]

Interesting vlog Roger but I have to admit I’ve always nicknamed dyson.....”die soon” as they don’t last very long and the suction has never been brilliant....I swear by Numatic Henry also using the turbo airobrush plus I believe that the sebo bs36 upright is also good....keep up the great work....best regards Mark from Billericay in Essex 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@Retro_andy_1977]

Always enjoy your videos Roger.humour ,education and practise all rolled into one........more fun than watching something on the tv at anytime

[@garretthammersmith793]

One of the coolest looking Dyson in my opinion

[@jacobbates3652]

Great video, the DC03 is my favourite dyson, I think as my gran had one and the design fascinated me as a child.

[@LlyleHunter]

I think a cordless Small Ball would be fabulous and I can only imagine how convenient one of their canisters would be if cordless.

[@Alex-jn1ez]

Bruce Solomon yes a upright because it will be easier to stretch up the stairs with the hose than carrying the big canister

[@harrisonlemm1719]

Omg Rodger that is one of my favourite Dyson vacuum cleaners keep up the good work and stay safe ✌️👍

Thanks 👍

@@ibaisaic When are you going to unbox a Dyson DC07?

[@bobsurrey6686]

Post mid 2002 the machines were made in Malaysia. Only early models of dc03,04 and some dc05s received a date code because they stopped dating them after 1999.

[@RWL2012]

before 2002 Dysons were made in the UK (Malmesbury, then before that Chippenham, then before that - briefly and very early on - Wrexham.

[@nazhif1]

Whats funny is that Dyson was pretty much unknown in Malaysia until around 2009 / 2010. Their washing machines were never sold here.

[@und4287]

The reason why these Dysons go green is probably the same reason as to why white plastic turns yellow- prolonged exposure to UV light and/or heat, but in this case it's probably only UV light though.

[@peepiepo]

I was a kid when my family got one of these. I remember being really enamoured by the double barrelled design

[@fabgott8026]

I'm watching this video to know how to remove the filter! Just heard i need to watch another video. Thanks.

[@YoumuHoover]

I would love to have that in the USA when they came out. They look so cool.

[@justmangaracer]

One of the most unique Dysons ever produced.

[@penut6636]

Can we just get a video of daisy and molly?

[@SpaceWeevil]

It's the fire retardant in the plastic that makes it discolour. Retrobright like they do with home computers. You could make it look like new. Would make an interesting video too.

[@benitogaming5914]

Hello everyone 😀 I have a confusion came to watch a new vacuum cleaner video and the two dogs trying to get attention while being a funny distraction so i look forward to more videos soon. haha ibaisaic do you plan to do a bloopers video?

[@bensrandomness8678]

Daisy always wants to be the center of attention whenever you are recording

[@rvrskng]

I just found the threat on VacuumLand where you showed your brand new dc03i- you should get another account on there! I'd love to read threads from you.

[@ibaisaic]

I am still on there under a different name, but I don’t post anymore due to some people trolling me in the past.

@@@huskyvacs Oh my gosh it's really you haha I see you in threads all over. Now I know you have a channel.

@Husky Vacs I think what he's trying to say is I don't want to do threads and all that rubbish.

[@cameramah]

older dysons such as the dc03 and dc28 are massive. (such as the brush head,filter and garbage compartment

[@joeriordan0746]

There’s a date on the rating sticker!

[@paulillingworth1242]

The twin containers I always found unusual.

[@anticat900]

You bugger, I was thinking of doing a video on the DC03 too :-) I would say it is likely the best machine dyson ever made and forward thinking too (only 600w was not the norm for this time when everything else was 2500w +). It is the filters though that make, I can't think any machine can be as clean running as this one? Excellent video though and informative.

[@LlyleHunter]

I was working my second job as the manager of the home furnishings floor of a Macy’s when Dyson hit the market and think that these machines looked like Robbie the Robot from Lost in Space

[@harrisonlemm1719]

Please can you do a whole house vacuuming video that would be greatly appreciated ✌️

[@GospelSkanker]

So detailed 😍 are these paid reviews ? Do you do product review by any chance

[@rvrskng]

Yay! What a great video from a great guy!

I like that beater bar it must give a better airflow than a solid bar. 🧐

[@nikitazdunek3087]

PLZ DO A BATTLE OF ALL YOUR NUMATIC

[@angeryitalianchef7251]

I think why its green is some types of plastic change when they are near heat or in the sun for long periods of time. The same things happens with our American NES or SNES, but they turn brown not green. Not sure about the dysons though but it might be that.

[@davedebang-bang6168]

The filters were awful on these. Always looked clean on the outside but inside they would be rot, and this in turn resulted in terrible airflow and suction, new filters always sorted it but they were so expensive,the bottom filter was meant to be lifetime but it filled with fine dust that got through the motor and heaps of carbon dust
