Spend a few $ and continue using the Dyson.
The problem would not occur with Oreck because it would not pick up enough to clog.Buy an Oreck to use electricity and live in filth. Buy a Dyson and maintain a clean home.
Or buy a Tempo and Oreck to half ast do as much as a single Dyson.
HS:
Using both a HOOVER TEMPO and ORECK XL Classic for rug/floor cleaning, I replace the paper bags in each about every two months. When I do insert a new bag, I opine that the full paper bags contain about 5 times more dirt [conservatively speaking] than a full DC07 dirt bin. I wouldn't expect 20 percent of the dirt I normally pick up with my $75 HOOVER TEMPO and/or $150 ORECK to clog any vacuum let alone one that retails for $400 plus like dyson. I must admit however I might be wrong. Maybe it can. Perhaps that is the reason you sold your DC07 after 3 years and bought/currently use a HOOVER Platinum bagged Lightweight. Having used both these models, HOOVER bagged Platinum light and DC07 pink, I would vote for the HOOVER too just as you. The bag has a usable capacity comparable to my ORECK and slighly more than my HOOVER TEMPO.
