Had a Dyson which proved unreliable so junked it and bought a Miele which has proved to be a much superior machine and remains utterly dependable 5 years after purchase. :y

The Dyson at my daughter uni house/squat blocked up easily when they tried to 'hoover' up a tree's worth of pine needles .....  no wonder the roller's drive belt gave up the ghost!!!

They hadn't a clue why it wasn't picking up!!!!!  :-? :-? :-? ::) ;D ;D ;D

So much for a uni edumacation!!!  :y :y ;D ;)

Same thing happened to our Dyson at Uni, usually it would fill up on one room  ;D

Belt snapped, easy as pie to strip down and replace it. Also cleared itout at the same time.

Be difficult offering it as a service due to the size & weight of them, you could only do it locally.

They clog up so easily, and need dismantling to clean.

I have done ours - works a LOT better now.

Should I offer the service?

what ever blows your skirt up Martin, as for cleaning dysons, i suspect better business on a BMW forum, i'm sure they all have them along with no practical sense what so ever.
Having said that, we have the above mentioned animal cyclone thing which replaced a previos dyson of some sort, light and manouverable for her, she likes it, which is totally fine by me... that Dyson bloke is smarter than you think :y

I bought one, firking hated it,  I know later models improved - but never again in my case.


Was rather impressed with a mates Bosch upright hoover a few years ago, might give them ago if the Dyson ever lets go.

Yes, he probably aimed the design more at us makes rather than the females.  or at least the early advertising.

I'm tempted to get a Tescos special electrolux special for £30 (almost same cost as an unreliable hose on a dyson), if it breaks in first year, warranty, if it breaks after, landfill, and buy another

Dyson was that the company that took all of it's production overseas, closed the operation in the UK, made em redundant :'(
Stuff them :y
We have an Oreck, only thing we have had to replace  in ten years has been the brush bar and about 3 belts.

I had many hoovers over the years, but then when Dyson came along I found it was the end of having useless machines.

Never looked back and have remained using Dyson, with little maintenance involved.  Great machines!! :y :y

DYSON is in fact the company that had £4m in grants off the Welsh Assembly and as soon as his company took of he closed the factory made 300 people redundant with very little severance wages and moved the entire shaboom to Poland, which is exactly what Cadbury are doing right now with the old Fry's factory, but cannot understand why Poland, all peoples of working age from Poland are over here. so how they goona get staff is beyond me, prehaps with a little luck all the poles here will move back and we can all get a decent job.

HP sauce is another one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't that transfer to Holland.
Long standing brands like Cadburys (or Cadburys Schweppes now) are in the process of being bought by Kraft, and they want tosell the schweppes bit.
