We have a Dyson and it ate two of my socks (different colours >:()

The engineer fished them out FOC and recommended a net bag

Technician please........Very few will have any form of engineering qualification....

Not surprised the Dyson ate socks.....counter-rotating drum assemblies never did look like a good engineering solution without getting the odd bit of clothing damage....!!!

Bra under wire would be my bet......try looking through the holes in the drum witha  torch to see if anything is stuck.....
I did A Level Engineering Design, does that count  ::)

I'm surprised anything made by Dyson has lasted long enough to damage anything...

tina it may be something rattling around in the pump they can make a similar sound sometimes. if its a customer serviceable filter check it out, give it a clean and see whats in there.
sometimes a screw, pin, lolly stick etc can stop the pump or make it noisy.

Alas, I am unfortunate enough to a Dyson hoover.  It works OK-ish, but is unreliable, and plastic always breaking...  ...its a reasonable design poorly implemented, and I think anyone who has owned an overpriced Dyson for more than a couple of years will agree?

You mean a Dyson Vaccum...that thing with the great marketing.....and not so good operation....

It always makes me chuckle when people say.....look how much its picked up.....yes granted but, when was the last time you had a hoover where you could see what you had vaccumed up?

The electrolux one is better by the way.....

I think why new Dyson owners (me included) think/thought their machines are/were so good is because we had the pull along type vacuum before.  Uprights are better due to carpet beaters than pure suction of pull along types, and probably more noticable to pet owners.

Dysons are good but have their flaws

Power heads clog easily and need a strip and rebuild every couple of months.

Cyclones clog up and are difficult to clean or newer cleaners

Washing machine washes well - present for Sue from her mum :P

In a TV program about Dyson, it turned-out that Dyson actually went to Hoover with his invention after patenting it but they dismissed it as ‘it will never work’. A Hoover spokesman on the program still dismissed Dyson saying that the vacuum cleaners with the bag are better, but when asked by the researcher if they don’t regret turning Dyson away, the Hoover guy seemed thoughtful and then admitted that they should have bought the patent and shelved it…

I think the dyson vac is great.
Had the DC01 for a good few years then a bust the wheel.

Got the ball one DC15 animal & brings car mats n boot liners up a treat  ::)

Not noticed the washer making a noise, had my head in total vauxhall mag  ::)

Glad the Dyson works well for you :)

Hose has gone on ours. Do I spend £15 - £20 for new hose, or £39 for a new bagless cyclone upright vac from tesco?  The mains lead has been repaired yet again as well...
