Dyson Roller Brush for DC07, DC14

Product Review:

Overview

The Dyson Roller Brush for models like the DC07 and DC14 is an essential component for effective cleaning, particularly when dealing with carpets and hard floors. Dyson vacuums have built a reputation for powerful suction and innovative design, and their roller brushes are no exception.

The roller brush (or turbine head) is a key part of Dyson's upright vacuum cleaners, especially designed to agitate and lift dirt, dust, and debris from carpets and other surfaces. It utilizes a rotating mechanism powered by the vacuum's airflow, ensuring a thorough clean across different types of flooring.

Key Features:

1. High-Performance Rotating Brush:

   • The brush bar rotates at high speed to agitate dirt from deep within carpet fibers.
   • It helps with picking up pet hair, fine dust, and other debris that may be embedded in carpets.

2. Durable Materials:

   • The bristles are made from strong, flexible materials designed to last through extended use.
   • The casing is typically made from tough, high-impact plastic to withstand wear and tear.

3. Compatibility:

   • Designed specifically for Dyson DC07 and DC14 models, making it an easy replacement part.
   • These roller brushes are generally easy to install and can be swapped out without needing professional help.

4. Self-Adjusting Height:

   • Many Dyson models feature a height adjustment mechanism, allowing the roller brush to adapt automatically to different floor types (carpet, hard floor, etc.).

5. Tangle-Free Technology:

   • Dyson roller brushes are designed to minimize tangling, especially with pet hair, though regular maintenance may still be required to keep the brush bar clear of obstructions.

Pros:

• Effective Carpet Cleaning: The rotating brush offers powerful cleaning, especially for deeper pile carpets.
• Easy Installation: Most users find it straightforward to replace the brush, ensuring minimal downtime.
• Durability: The high-quality materials ensure that the brush lasts longer than most third-party replacements.
• Enhanced Suction Power: The brush's spinning mechanism works in tandem with the vacuum's suction to improve overall cleaning efficiency.

Cons:

• Brush Maintenance: Pet hair and long fibers can accumulate on the brush, requiring regular cleaning to maintain optimal performance.
• Not Ideal for All Floors: While the brush works excellently on carpets, it may be less effective on extremely delicate or textured floors (like certain hardwood or tile types).
• Cost: Genuine Dyson replacement parts tend to be pricier than third-party options.

Detailed FAQ:

1. How do I replace the roller brush on my Dyson DC07 or DC14?

• Step 1: Turn off your vacuum and unplug it for safety.
• Step 2: Detach the cleaner head (the part that holds the roller brush) from the vacuum hose.
• Step 3: Use a screwdriver to remove the screws securing the roller brush housing.
• Step 4: Gently remove the old brush bar, and slide the new one into place.
• Step 5: Secure the housing with screws and reattach the cleaner head to the hose.

2. How can I clean the roller brush to prevent clogs?

• Remove the brush from the cleaner head.
• Use scissors to carefully cut away any hair or debris wrapped around the brush bar.
• Wipe the brush with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt.
• Regular cleaning (every 1–2 weeks, depending on use) ensures optimal performance.

3. Can I use a third-party roller brush instead of the Dyson original?

• While third-party brushes may be cheaper, they might not deliver the same performance as the Dyson original. Dyson’s roller brushes are specifically designed for their machines, and using non-genuine parts could affect your vacuum’s suction power and efficiency.

4. Will this roller brush fit other Dyson models?

• The roller brush for DC07 and DC14 is compatible with those models specifically. For other Dyson models, you will need to check for compatibility as different models may require different brush sizes or designs.

5. Does the roller brush come with a warranty?

• Genuine Dyson parts, including the roller brush, often come with a 1-year warranty. This covers manufacturing defects but does not cover wear and tear from regular use.

6. Can the brush be used on both carpets and hard floors?

• Yes, the Dyson roller brush is designed for both carpet and hard floors. However, for hard floors, it’s crucial to ensure the vacuum height setting is adjusted correctly to avoid scratching or damaging sensitive surfaces.

7. My roller brush isn’t spinning; what should I do?

• Check for obstructions: Ensure that no debris or tangled hair is blocking the brush mechanism.
• Check the drive belt: If the belt connecting the brush to the motor is broken, it may need replacing.
• Ensure the vacuum is properly assembled: Make sure that the brush and the housing are correctly positioned.

8. How often should I replace the roller brush?

• With proper care and maintenance, a Dyson roller brush can last for years. However, if you notice reduced suction power, worn-out bristles, or a cracked housing, it may be time to replace it. Regular cleaning of the brush will extend its lifespan.

9. Can I use the Dyson DC07/DC14 roller brush in pet hair removal?

• Yes! The rotating brush is particularly effective at picking up pet hair from carpets. However, remember that long pet hair can occasionally get tangled in the brush, so frequent cleaning is advised.

Final Thoughts:

The Dyson Roller Brush for DC07 and DC14 is an essential part of maintaining the vacuum's performance. Whether you’re cleaning carpets, pet hair, or dust, this brush ensures your Dyson operates at its peak. While the brush does require some upkeep, it delivers excellent results when maintained properly. If you're looking for a replacement, the genuine Dyson part is worth the investment for lasting efficiency and durability.

Product Description:

The genuine Dyson replacement brush bar number 904174-01 is designed to fit the Dyson DC07 and the Dyson DC14 vacuum series. This Dyson 904174-01 brush bar is one of the hardest working parts in your vacuum cleaner because it comes in constant contact with the floor and is responsible for helping pick up all of the debris taken into your DC07 and DC14.

All brush bars are susceptible to being tangled on long fibrous materials, such as hair, so regular maintenance is essential for prolonging the life of your Dyson DC07 brush bar. Eventually, even the most well made Dyson DC07 brush bar requires replacement. When that time comes, look to acevacuums.com for your genuine Dyson DC07 and DC14 Replacement Brush Bar needs.

Acevacuums.com sells genuine Dyson replacement parts. The genuine Dyson replacement brush bar is an original manufacturer’s part, meaning it is manufactured to full original factory specification. By using genuine Dyson replacement parts, your new brush roll will be of the same superior quality as the rest of the parts in your DC07 and DC14.

To perform maintenance on your DC07 and Dyson DC14 brush bar or to replace it, follow these steps:

• Unplug your vacuum and turn the clutch actuator to bare floors.
• Remove the soleplate from your vacuum by loosening the three soleplate fasteners.
• Then clear the brush bar of any obstructions and proceed with swapping the old brush bar out for the new genuine Dyson replacement brushbar.
• Pull the brushbar away from the cleaner head.  Using a large flathead screwdriver, pry the brushbar belt away from the brushbar. This will allow you to remove the brushbar from the belt (you may need to rotate the brushbar when pulling it out). Depending on how new the clutch assembly is, the brushbar belt could be very tight fitting.
• Reverse the process to install the new genuine Dyson brush bar.
• Once the brushbar belt is in place the brushbar should rotate freely, if not check to make sure the belt did not twist.  If the belt is left twisted, it could damage the clutch assembly.
• Now you are ready to replace the soleplate and tighten the fasteners. Be sure that your soleplate is securely fitted to the bottom of the cleanerhead by aligning the soleplate with the front edge of the cleanerhead.

Using genuine Dyson replacement parts will allow you to maintain the remaining warranty on your DC07 and DC14. Generic parts will void any warranty you have left, and they could put your machine at risk. Don’t chance it. Protect your investment by using genuine Dyson replacement parts for all of your maintenance needs, including DC07 and DC14 brush bar replacement. Generic brush bars may not be the same perfect fit as a genuine Dyson replacement brush bar, causing it to rattle or stress your machine. Using generic belts with your genuine Dyson brush bar may also cause problems. Generic belts that are too long could wobble, damaging the parts nearby, and using a generic belt that is too short might break your genuine Dyson brush bar. Don’t apply a quick fix with generic parts that will only cost you more time and money down the road; no, use only genuine Dyson replacement parts.
