Dysan motor to clutch belt deffo needs sorting, just a large piece of junk sat in the corner at the moment but a far better vac the Shark that was going to replace it.

well worth keeping a CORDED Dyson going 
parts are east to get ,and relatively easy to replace

Unlike the Shark offerings , no parts available and deliberately designed to stop DIY repair 

i've still got 2 DC03s ,2 DC04s ,1 DC07 (20 years old ,still sucks like a $5 hooker)   and 2 DC14s

7 vacuum cleaners, have you thought about therapy?

Totally agree  Mine is the DC07 Animal far supperior to the Shark I bought.

I also have Bissel Pro Heat 2x
and in the shed there is the little orange vax somewhere.

then I have the 18v Ryobi that I got as part of a starter kit.
Also a 240v handy vac that was bought for the car.

oh and I just bought a USB mini vac that can be reversed to blow, idel for cleaning fins on CPU coolers etc.

Over to STEMO for some of his pearls of wisdom (Usual sarky comments )

Forget about the vacuum cleaners. He knows all about $5 hookers!  That' far more interesting!

I lust use a DC02 with a nozzle plus a horse hair (no static) paint brush for clearing "unwantables" from computers etc
(hepa filter means you don't breathe the dust etc ) 

got DCO3 and DC02 mixed up  i've 2 x DC02 drag along ones , NOT DC03s

My DC04 in the garage is starting to show its age, Its reached a stage where it needs lots of bits methinks.  That said, it only gets used now for car and the the garage bench and floor...

Which is about all a Dyson is fit for. They are the perfect example of marketing over quality.

I got fed up with all the high end vacuums, never seem to stay in good condition for very long. I've now got a Henry. A bit awkward to cart around the house, but it will pick up anything, including stones/leaves from my bit of artificial grass out the back. Nothing to go wrong, really, and the HUGE bags are about £1 each in Argos.

I don't have to post sarky comments in reply to most of your posts, Skruntie, you do a pretty good job of cocking it up yourself

There is a perfectly good reason why tool hire shops hire out Dyson vacuums.  And it ain't marketing

Are you saying Dysons suck 

that's their job 

for sub £50 ,you can replace the motor, brush bar, belt , both filters in an hour on DC02 , DC04 ,DC07 or DC14

I don't know about the newer models  as my old ones WORK 

I wouldn't by a battery "hoover" ,much like an electric car .I'd get "range anxiety"

Kick backs, tax write offs and consumer preference based on, er, marketing

you can only  write off 25% P/A on "plant and machinery" IIRC
any "hoover" that lasts 4 years  in a hire scenario is doing well
