Dysons

[Merlot]

We went round to the Fishery Lane tip and there were 13 vacuum cleaners lined up for disposal.

12 Were Dysons.

I saw this situation before when Zhoo Zhoo lived at Hedge End and we took some stuff to her local tip. I think that there were about 20 Dysons and no other make lined up there. What is wrong with Dysons?

nothing wrong with dysons at all. got mine from fishery lane. DC07 animal modle.

all that was wrong with it was that the pre and post motor filter was clogged up. its a common mistake made by people who buy dysons who assume that there is no filter.

99% of the crud that the dyson collects from the carpet is retained in the bin, but 1% (mainly the very fine dust) makes it past the cyclone bin, nad has to be filtered before passing over the motor for cooling. there is also a post motor filter (HEPA) which removes all the remaining super fine dust. the HEPA filter works on particles as small as cigerette smoke particles.

in all the dyson cost £10 from pete, plus another £10 for a replacement filter off Ebay, (as well as my time spent cleaning it - previous owner had more than one smelly dog!)

Whats wrong with Dysons?? First of all designed by a man who probably has never hoovered in his life!!! Just look at the amount of gadgets on the damn things?? Its a mans hoover alright
I was bought one a few years ago - absolute rubbish Im afraid.
Whats all this malarky about no dust bags aswell??? You still have to dismantle it and tip said dust into the sodding bin whereby it then swirls around and gets up your nose and in your eyes!!!
Want a decent cheap hoover??? Get yourself a lovely little Henry!!! Bought mine second hand 5 years for £30 and absolutely love it!!! When you do as much hoovering as me you want something simple and easy to use which the Henry is.
Its fantastic and has a lovely little smiley face too
