Dyson repair...

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Bought a really expensive dyson a few years ago. Cant remember which model but it had loads of different colours. Biggest piece of crap I have ever purchased. hated it from the word go, useless piece of junk. My wife really wanted it so I refused to buy another hoover for 5 years and she had to use it:lol:

 

Yep, always the Wives that want them; somehow fall for the BS. All this harping on about the filtration; then you empty the can and all the filth and dust goes everywhere. How do people fall for this crap?!

The motor went on ours not long after the guaranteed was out (sods law eh)

Ordered a new motor online I think it cost around £35-40 ish and that worked fine, only thing is the rubber seals start to go hard and lost its suck despite many temporary fixes with a squirt of silicon spray which worked great short term.

I get a S/H Kirby G7 for £35 and never looked back, came with so many tools and built so you can service "everything" I love it, good workmanship. We been spoilt with all the plastic crap that is not made to last, never get another cleaner our carpets never been so good. Loads of info online about them, some good some not so good but personaly I find them great. Just couldn't afford a new one:thumbup1:

I inherited my mum's old Kirby when she passed away about 15 years ago. It must be at least 40 year old now and still works good. Don't use it as an everyday hoover (although it is brilliant at that), just use it for shampooing the carpets now and again. How many other hoovers can you turn into a drill or a sander?

Another good brand is sebo. My Dyson experience is they fall over and the brittle plastic shatters. I would replace rather than repair and personally not found Henry's that good on suction. Certainly won't give you a love bite, but it's Friday night and someone might prove otherwise!

We had a Dyson, pile of crap, £300 as well. Two week old and the dog chewed the plug off. Fixed it no probes.. It was always pretty rubbish though from new so it got binned

 

We bought a thing called a Bissel off amazon for about £120, it's bonkers no joke. You actually get knackered using it, have to push it with two hands and it looks like a tank. On the up side it ridiculous how much stuff it pulls out the carpet. If you can cope with the work out they well worth a look. I got two labs and not a hair in the house.

shoot the cat ,problem solved :biggrin:them go for the £5 repiars

when they work, they are really good, but you have to clean them out every few days, and yes they are fragile. replaced the burnt out motor on ours, and it burnt out again a few months later. have now reverted to our old Vorwerk that we've had for 30 years, still works well and is tough as old boots.

I got a Dyson ten years ago and apart from a couple of things, it has served me well. Wash and dry the filters every 6 months and it is sound! Don't like the Henry that the GM office has - old fashioned paper bag in the housing!!!

 

Dyson service has, it has to be said, impressed me. I got my now ex wife one some 20 years ago, a three years old, it played up, so she called them out. They repaired the fault, changed a couple of other components including the flexy hose for a very, very modest sum! Top marks....

I don't get the fragile comments, got one I use in the workshop and it gets dragged around and stuff gets dropped on it and it just takes it all with no abuse.
