Bought a Dyson DC07 Animal approx 2003
Never been abused & never had a single issue with it, noticed the suction tube from the pick up head was split when I was cleaning the head a couple of months ago. So ordered a new tube and a drive belt online.
Hoovered a load of shredded paper I had spilt this morning so used the pipe to hoover it up, for the 1st time ever it suffered a blokcage (where the dust enters the cylinder ) it was easily sorted but whilst sorting it I chipped the latch mechanism (Still works ok) and noticed the belt had snapped.
Had a look on Currys/Argos to see what new ones cost (upright/corded) only 3 models available. Cheapest is a clearange model, Most exspensive is out of stock everywhere inc Dyson, So just the one option.
So as I cant be A**d to fix my DC07
Do I go for another Dyson or try a different brand?
(DYSON Ball Animal 2 Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner is my prefered choice - but no stock & wondering if going to be discontinued)
Any recomendations (Dont want cordless)
