Pete, I was looking to get more power from My Dyson...
I was thinking a Downpipe,
ITG Filters & ReMap...can you book me in

 

Tiggs - Why?

 

Also mr Dyson is a full on *****. He treats his managers etc like krap. I'm sure they are all of to south America.Closing up in the UK???

he has done well but not a nice man.

 

Let me know if you still have a problem mate fix these all day everyday

 

Dyson: neat concept, but about as ergonomic and reliable as a juggernaught.

 

Not many good reports then, anyone else recommend a decent vac in the £300 budget mark? PS Its a wedding present from the folks

 

Tiggs - how much do you want to come round my house twice a week and suck up dirt with your own mouth?

Charlie

 

Isn't it about time we had a "vacuum cleaner related" for forum?

 

Thanks Tomski - its under warranty so its up to them.

Cleaned the filter after Pete's advice and dissasembled it a bit more looking for bloackages after the (excellent) Dyson animated online guide; am however starting to conclud that the motor is shot. Sounds different, which is another good clue.

Happy to volunteer to moderate a Domestic Sucking Devices forum

 

Just received a free new cyclone unit. They said that it might have swallowed something wet or damp and that this can stick to the cyclone walls and reduce suction.

Now that is pretty crap…

Works fine now though.

 

Sebo is a good brand of vacuum cleaner - always does well in Good Housekeeping tests (or so I'm told ;-) ) I think Miele do good ones too - buy German.

 

UncleBuck surely u no by now, they don't have a bag !!!!

 

the only time my dyson stops sucking properly is when the turbo brush gets clogged up with hair wrapped around it !!other than that, it's excellent at beating all the dog fur out of the carpet,it's surprising how much fur the bl00dy dog sheds,with having kids,i'm glad it's inside the hoover and not on my floors!!

We just (last year) took our 14 year old VAX to France, where it's still performing sterling work in the little farmhouse we're trying to do up.

The wife wanted to replace it with a Dyson.....seen all the ads etc:

I pointed out that the "no loss of suction" idea was crap, if it started with less suction than others anyway....which even according to Dyson's own figures, it does.
We bought another VAX.
A good tip with VAX's is to buy their cloth bag at the start, and keep it clean.....a good shake will do, after every emptying, but washing and drying it helps about every 10th emptying.
Alcazar

 

Have got a VAX.....it's the nads......probably got a fair bit more duct tape on it than factory, but still very good

 

How do you find the carpet washing on the Vax? Had one many years ago and wasnt half as impressive as getting a man with a van in to clean the carpets. ALL dowenstairs needs doing too

 

Iagree with alkazar get a vax with the cloth bag we have one it is used every day falls down stairs gets kicked out the road very obedient never asks for new bits never leaves its wheels behind.

wifes work has a dyson overpriced rubbish wheels fall off handles break looks disgusting full of crap.

vax is not perfect but it is the most relliable 10 000 suck service intervals even then 2 min to change filters and you just stick the cloth bag in the washing machine when it is too dirty

voila new bag!

the washing bits crap though
