They used to call a girl who lived at the end of our street 'Dyson'. Don't know why.

We had one called Electrolux. Nothing sucks like an Electrolux ::)

* Except mains cords. Can't get 'em anywhere. And ours needs one

Without stealing thread, I've prob got a spare mains cord in the shed if you want it PM me!
I've got loads of cords. Its the grommets I'm struggling with, and its these that break, then knacker the cords
For £50 Dyson will service any Dyson back to working order iirc. :)

There are some parts not covered, the swappable tools and the motor maybe? But everything else's is covered. Expensive if all it needs is grommets or a cord, but worth remembering. Especially if it gets lobbed down the stairs by the Mrs. :o ::)
Only I'm not paying £50 for a replacement cord. Its Dyson being an arse, and no longer selling cords into the spares market... ...and as their cords are bespoke  >:(

Now i know my memory is poor, and I have Altzhiemers...and I've had an afternoon nap since I  posted, but I do seem to remember saying, £50 was expensive for a cord. I did say that didn't I? (Turns to everyone) ...didn't I say that? (Everyone nods) yes I though I did. Now where did I post that? (Turns to everyone) anyone seen where I posted that? (Everyone shouts) BEHIIIND YOU! (Looks up) oh yes! There it is up there look, WITH A BLOODY GREAT FLUORESCENT PEN THROUGH IT ! ;D :P

But I said that all I needed was a gromet/cord, and your replied with their repair service, which I said was too exp... ...oh never mind...
