Dyson DC35

Don't waste your money – This Dyson stick vacuum is a total waste of money. It works for about 20 seconds then stops. I contacted Dyson and they told me to change the filters. I bought new ones - same issue. I have 2 batteries that I interchange and the battery lasts for about 20 seconds, stop, then start, cut in out and then die completely after about a total of 2 minutes. I can't believe this product costs so much and is so bad Show details

So reliable! – I’ve had mine for over 8 years and it’s had a real workout! In my 2bd apartment, it was the sole vacuum. It’s now in a house and still used regularly. After all this time, it’s just needing a new battery, which I can pick up online for $60. An amazing investment and when this eventually becomes no good, I’ll be sure to replace with the same. Show details

Strong, reliable, had it for years – I have moved from the home we had when we first bought our DC35 animal, in which we had bamboo and tile floors with Persian rugs and now have newer bamboo and tile floors with the same rugs. Great on both surfaces. For the rugs I use a silicone rake first and then the Dyson and that works fine. I have always washed the barrel and filters and… Read more

removed any buildup of hairs etc in the rotating head. I also clean the battery contacts and haven’t had any problems there either. Stopping rotation while cleaning signalled to me that I needed to perform a maintenance clean on the head. I am still using the vacuum but had to have the motor replaced after I dropped it in the sink while cleaning it :o( Replacement cost $110 and it was a very smooth experience. We can’t speak highly enough of the Dyson brand. I can’t remember when we bought it but it must be more than 6 years ago (12/2019 now).

Still going strong – I have a small cottage so this was perfect for daily quick vaccs of my house...after about two years the battery started to die but my hubby found a replacement battery and it works like new again ! Great product cause I hate having to drag out my big dyson vacuum for daily cleaning.  Show details

Dyson should be well known for their reliability – I've always been very happy with the customer service at dyson. One of the best I have dealt with for a big brand. Our journey with Dyson started with the V8 model so our first impression of the brand was flawless. We since then purchased 3 other older generation dysons for giveaway presents after cleaning them out thoroughly, noting the… Read more

continued reliability and innovative design. Theres something special about undoing all the parts and seeing the magic of Dyson inside. Now when we goto see our family they have always just vaccumed before our baby starts crawling everywhere because they don't have to plug it in.

We picked up this model for a bargain at $90 with all of the attachments.

The battery still worked fine, 1200mah high drain sony 18650 cells. Didn't seem to run too long on max originally but after purchasing a $40 aftermarket battery(2000mah) it goes and goes and goes even on max. We also got an aftermarket filter for less than $10. The motorised tools work quite well. You eventually figure out that you shouldn't be vacuuming bread ties.... I like the v6 slim we have better than this model and price wise with a new battery the v6 slim is the better option at the moment its easier to maintain as well. It was a bit tricky to unwind all of the hair and string off the dc35 motorised tools and has since been reenginered to perfection.

Another great feature of this model is the interchangeable batteries, no screws to undo to change the battery. Ps just a tip for people cleaning theirs out, if youre going to use soap, you may need to use antistatic wipes to minimise the dust sticking to things. You can make a home made antistatic solution out of toxic fabric softener but we decided to choose use an expensive witch hazel exctract solution for our electronics (found in the beauty isle).

Useless... very expensive landfill – This vacuum worked well for about 6 months. After then it cuts out after 3 seconds use. Makes it very difficult to vacuum even a small area, let alone a whole room. Do not buy!! Show details

Poor battery life, seems official battery discontinued – Performance was OK. Given this is a premium product, it's poor to see that the battery seems to be discontinued. Given the built in obsolescence, would struggle to recommend a Dyson hand vac. I am paying a premium for something to last. Show details

Nothing but trouble DC 35 – Bought over 2 years ago and it developed a problem that it would not start or cut out. Cannot be used . i tried to see if it comes apart , impossible, as it seems to be the motor. This is the third Dyson vac I have bought and others great.  Show details

DC35 No end of trouble – We purchased a DC35 a couple of years ago thinking we were buying the best, just like our Dyson upright that we absolutely love. However unlike our Dyson upright, we have had no end of trouble with it. It started with just cutting out after a minute or so and now will not work at all. We have even purchased a new battery but to no avail. It has… Read more

never been heavily used, mainly for vacuuming ceiling corners, curtains etc. It is so frustrating and our friends tease us for paying so much for something that does not work.

Still going strong – Needs regular emptying but invaluable when we had a dog who shed hairs. The car was clean, the floors and sofa had no hairs, and it recharged so quickly you only just had time for a coffee if it went flat. So why was it discontinued? We have loved it and will not be updating till it dies altogether!  Show details

Vacuums well, but hard to clean – Pro: It vacuums well, very easy to use on stairs with its rotating head. Cons: - When you empty it, the collected dust sort of explodes everywhere upon opening. - It is very hard to clean the brush - Extremely noisy it hurts your ear when vacuuming inside car or under desk etc  Show details

Terrible – Having had upright dyson said for a number of years and had great customer service on a few occasions I bought dc35 expecting it to last the same I only have this for just over 2 years and it just keeps cutting out every few seconds have done everything possible but nothing helps. I am very dissapointed with this dyson not up to your usual… Read more

standards at all. I only have rugs to hover as I have laminate floors but takes forever to do even a small rug would drive you mad I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Expensive throw away plastic – Purchased Dc35 May 2015 and was very happy with it, before warrranty was out it needed a new motor which was replaced. Contacted again November 2017 when the brush in the cleaning head kept stopping an was told it needed another part at cost to me as it was out of warranty, decided to think about it and started to use my old Hoover upright again… Read more

only using the Dyson for cleaning the car and hand cleaning edges etc. Phoned this week again to be told it was obsolete but they still had cleaning heads in stock $129. It appears all parts are throw away(landfill) and non repairable. I’m not at all happy with Dyson and would never buy another one. Might add I’m in my early70’s and my Hoover upright which belonged to my mum is still working and is still repairable at a fraction of the cost of any Dyson parts.

DC35 died just after the warranty expired !!!! – I liked the appliance but it died just as the warranty expired - Re DC35 01 26782A SR CD3-UK-CCB5453A I bought a CORDLESS DC35 in 2015 – 2.5 years later and short while out of warranty it has stopped working. The green light on the machine lights when you pull the trigger but no ignition power to the vacuum – It is simply v disheartening… Read more

that such an appliance fails shortly after the warranty expires –

A new battery costs 100 euro – V unacceptable we feel -

That’s half the cost of a new appliance –

Lidl have a new appliance for €59 !!!

What a waste of money – Hi, I have a Dyson DC35, have owned it for 3 years now do I understand I Am out of warranty to my dismay. I am having a lot of trouble with it. When fully charged it will run for about 1 minute then turn off, as I take my finger off the button and push back down it will start again but this time for about 30 seconds. It continues to do this… Read more

another 3 or 4 times before the machine turns off and I have to wait about a minute before it will work again,but then only lasts about 10 seconds.

I have completely pulled the vacuum apart and cleaned everything including the filter. I’ve watched a number of YouTube videos to try and fix it also. One suggested scratching the battery pads with a scourer but this also hasn’t helped.

Also, the boost button isn’t even an option, as soon as I press it the vacuum cuts out.

So disappointed, I was paying for the name and reputation that Dyson usually has but in this case then she did not live up to it reputation.

I’ve already emailed you my concerns so don’t bother writing back telling me to do so.

I just want people to be aware that the stick vaccums are only made to last the warranty period before they stop working.

Will NEVER buy another Dyson..

Terrible waste of money – Like every other review on here my dyson worked for a little while then started cutting out every few seconds. It had only been used a handful of times before it started doing this. Contacted dyson who advised i have to purchase a new battery (further expense to us) which im not willing to do as we paid so much for a faulty machine in the first… Read more

place. I hear dyson have realised the batteries are faulty and have since changed the batteries on the newer models. Money making at its finest! Would not recommend dyson to anyone. Not a happy customer!

CANT FIND OUT INFORMATION – Love this vacuum cleaner, however, battery light is flashing while using and turning itself off. Not sure if it’s the battery but Dyson not taking calls and no sellers could tell me if battery is replaceable. I don’t have a button on mine for releasing the battery. Can anyone help?  Show details ·  1

Same expensive broken Dyson as everybody else – I have two Dyson sticks, DC 35s, both have the same problem, of cutting out constantly and so does the Dysion upright. How stupid was I thinking I was buying the best. Rubbish instructions, need constant cleaning to try to keep them working and now I find I cant buy a new battery Wow at these price this is a terrible corporate rip off. All three… Read more

are going out for hard waste collection while I purchase another brand. Last Dyson product I will ever buy. Plenty of cheaper good quality cordless out there now.

Great Vacuum, not so good customer service! – While this vacuum is absolutly fantastic, mine however has run out of steam, I have made contact with Dyson as my battery is lasting around 5 mins on the MAX setting. I know its out of warranty, which is fine, I accept that. But. The issue I have now, is I want to get a replacement battery for this as I dont really want to upgrade, Only to be told… Read more

that they no longer make batterys for this model (sad face).

The options are and I quote "We no longer make the battery that fits your DC35, in which case you would need to purchase the new style battery ( $76) and a main body ($105). " so now Im either going to be out of pocket more than expected. quoted from a CS rep from Dyson via email. Or they can offer me 25% off the RRP $799 for a V8 animal which would come down to $599.25.

Why would I buy the V8 when its not the current model and if something happens with this one within 2 years, I will be in the same poition again. Interestingly you can buy the V8 Animal on major known retailers for LESS than $599, so I dont see how this is a "discount"

Surely companies must have to supply parts for a prodcut thats 2 year old ??

Worked great and then died won't charge – I own 2 Dyson cleaners.. a standard vac and and a stick so that's almost $1000 in vacuum cleaners. I have had my stick for a while now and maintained it as per manufacturers recs.. probably for 12 months I've noticed it fully charges but doesn't last too long. It's now just suddenly died and the charger light won't come on. I just googled the… Read more

fault and noticed many other owners of the DC35 also have the exact same issues... I realise everything has a shelf life but it seems too coincidental that lots of posts have the exact same battery issues. Surely this isn't isolated and not due to mis-use or neglect... come on Dyson these cleaners are expensive ... so I take it now that I risk paying $100 for a new battery but by reading posts (and Dysons website), this model is actually discontinued ...so my rolls Royce Dyson stick vac is only good for the bin... do I now outlay $500 again or buy a vax instead. Bases on other comments I can't see how Dyson could stop Making genuine parts for a cleaner that is still relatively new but mor importantly a product owned by millions of people....or has Dyson stoped making this model because of the faults?

Expensive and Disappointed, Poor Customer Service - DC35 by Dyson – Like many Dyson Customers I am another unfortunate one who from purchase have experienced the DC35 intermittently shutting off, poor suction, and floor/carpet tool not working stop/start. Now with light use the unit is not able to be charged. Expensive rubbish and very disappointed. What is Dyson going to do about this? Buying another battery at $90.00 may not solve the unit not charging, and what about the other problems addressed above?  Show details

Expensive and disappointing – After 5 years of light use this Dyson appears to have died. Fully charged the battery would last 15 minutes at most, now nothing, no green light on charger. Have done everything suggested in manual, container regularly emptied, filter cleaned, properly reinstalled. Tried charging for extended periods and shorter periods, fully discharging at each use. I thought I was buying quality small vacuum cleaner for lightweight use. Very disappointed.  Show details

Good performance with ease of use – I used a Hoover Ultra Light before which had a 'continuous' mode and 20 minutes of running time on full charge. The Dyson falls short on these fronts. Needing to keep the button pressed for the entire duration of cleaning is uncomfortable. It gives a normal running time of 12 minutes and about 5 minutes when using the boost mode. would have liked… Read more

if the boost mode timing was higher.

But is works good on wooden floor as well as carpets. The suction is good. It is also easy to clean post usage. The 360 degree spinning head and light weight is good thing and helps to cover a lot of ground in less time. I find it useful while cleaning my car with just the body. For the price of it, I think it is pretty good!

should last longer than 2 years for the price, not reliable, – For approx. 18 months my DC35 has been stopping intermittently about every 20 seconds then starting again (very frustrating) progressively it has got worse until it no longer works, for the money it cost its not worth the frustration involved, in my honest opinion its of poor quality for the price.  Show details

Easy to use – Easy glides over all floor types, great suction but a bit top heavy. Suction is just as good as my barrel Dyson . It is very simple to clean the filter and empty the bin and to change heads as well. I also take off the stick and use it to clean the car  Show details

LOVE it!! – LOVE my Dyson stick vac. The best vacuum I've ever had. SO easy and convenient to use. Easy to empty, easy to clean. Good suction right to the end of the battery which lasts until I've done my whole house. Option to turbo boost the suction also. Light enough for my kids to use. Lots of handy attachments. Not too noisy. I won't buy any other type of vacuum cleaner from now on.  Show details

Should last longer than 3 years – I have just been in contact with the service centre as I have become increasingly frustrated with my vacuum cutting out after about 5-10 seconds, you have to release the trigger and then engage again and then the same thing happens over and over. I'm interested to see that this issue is quite common for this model so I am very disappointed to… Read more

hear that Dyson have not addressed it. All they could tell me was that I need to buy a whole new head for it because the parts are no longer available, or purchase a new vacuum at 25% discount. Not really good enough for an expensive product to not last very long given that the problem has been going on since just out of the warranty period. Think I would prefer to purchase a cheap vacuum next time if Dyson is only going to last this long.
