Advantages: Lightweight,long lead,no bag
Disadvantages: It was fab to start with but loses power and suction,expensive
Dyson 08
As Im not fan of uprights this dyson cylinder seemed like good option.
Never had a dyson before but as top of market we thourght it would last us for years and worth the extra money.
It started off well really enjoyed using it ,huge advantages for us
no hoover bags
very good suction
quite long lead so can take it far
automatic button to rewind up lead
funky looking
comes with head or attachment
light and mobile.
The first few years we were in love worked like a dream as never known a hoover so powerful.
But now im having problems we are emptying it regularly and cleaning both filters howver its seems to lose suction.
When its emptied its appears to suck up but when on seems to lose power.
We will probably take it into shop although my husbands convinced its fine.
I know its not and its makes the hoovering hard work.
Its over 5years old now so will see what repair shop says but may have to get another this year I guess all good things have to come to an end.
I was speaking to a mate who had same problems with her dyson and now has a Henry.
Will see what repair shop say as cant go on with this hoover as its so time consuming.
Feel bit dissapointed it dident last maybe I was expecting too much.
Hve no idea how long average hoover should last?
Its just we paid so much compared to other brands.
Hopefully it can be revived!
Summary: This hoover started off so promising just thourght I would get more life out of it

- 24/01/09 We had a dyson DC03 when they came out but it wasn't long before a part 'that doesn't break' broke and we couldn't get the part to replace it 'because it doesn't break!!' They are great for a while but then like you say ends up in disappointment not great considering the cost.... |

- 23/01/09 Thanks for that I think from memory hubby paid nearly £300 from argos just over 5years ago so not in guarantee.
Will see what repair shop say and cost of repair.
I hate hoovering so probably not overly heavy use!
But since having daughter has given the carpet more of a challange.
Spent ages playing with it,im not most technical but explored all obvious options.
Would be lovley to see it restored.
It does sometimes chuck dirt back out. |

- 23/01/09 Welcome to Dooyoo. A good overview here although adding the price in that you pad would be good to know as well as if its heavy in use?
I guess what you're describing is possibly a dust leak problem - if you get it repaired privately they may replaced the motor or clean it out. It could well just need a new filter though.
