Repair or Replace Dyson?

Nelski

Well thanks all for your advice. I have bit the bullet and got me a lovely new dyson:j special thanks to Basil for telling me about the Tesco deal - I ended up with a DC07 anti allergy one for £169 :money: It was the right decision for sure as after my first go I appeared to have completely new carpets:D

I mourn the loss of a handbag but if this lasts 17 years too then it has been a bargain.

Yay..well done.. good price too. Now what you doing with the old one....yeah so what if one part of it's broke but the motor should still be in good working order. That £169 is only £10 per year of good service I think the OP has does well.

We need a new vacuum also. I found the Dyson DC14 at argos for £139.79 .
Is it really £ 100 Tescos in store? I see Nelski spend £ 169.

Hi Vintagered there was a huge sign in Tesco saying £100 but it was £100 off

the one I got was a DC07 anti allergy one which is normally over £200. Still a good bargain if you lurrrve Dysons like I do:D (if it had have been £100 I could have got a handbag as well..........)

We have a DC01 and a rescued from a skip 2nd one in the garage for spares, I bet ours is about 15 years old still works fine unlike any other cleaner I have bought before, one cost about £200 in the early 80's lasted about 2 weeks grrrrr. Shame about the handbag Nels!

I still have my DC01 going strong after 16 1/2 years, it's never been professionally serviced but I do strip it down myself from time to time and give it a good clean-out. I may have got it wrong but I'm sure I read it somewhere that Dyson repair the older models for free now?

I just use my Henry, I think you are supposed to use bags in it, but I never have and it works just fine.

I was given it by a friend who had used it for a couple of years, but the dog chewed the nozzle at the end so they wanted a new one. I have had it for about another 2 years now and I haven't had a problem with it at all.

We received a brand new Hoover as a wedding gift. It lasted 23 years before blowing up three years ago.

When new it was top of the range and carried a 'Lifetime' guarantee.

I don't call 23 years a 'lifetime!'

Therefore I refuse to be taken in by such claims and I absolutely refuse to purchase another.

My wife has been quite happy to use the good old dustpan and brush since and I have no complaints regarding the cleanliness of our interior fabrics.

Also there are no bags or servicing costs to worry about.

The only drawback is the old girl now finds it a little hard on her knees but I've solved that problem by letting her use my kneepads!

Woohoo!
