They don't like shake and vac either :mad:

Funny that - our earlier DC01 manual said don't use Shake & Vac, and we didn't risk it. I regularly use it with our DC07 (one difference = washable filters) and I've never had a problem.

We have an eight year old Dyson DC2 and the motor packed up last Friday.

We phoned Dyson who operate their own repair service (with their own vans - not some outsourced thing), who called today at 0830 as arranged and repaired it completely for £55 including parts labour and call-out.

Given that the motor is the main part on the cleaner, I call that damned good value.

In fact, the inclusive price of £55 is guaranteed to cover ANY parts and labour required. And their customer services are open 8-8 M-Su.

All in all, thumbs up from me to Dyson.

Thumbs up to my Dyson DC04 - great on all surfaces, picks up dog hair no bother and when I have broken it I've managed to fix it myself (& I'm no expert!). Also have had a Henry which was great, but not so good on dog hair.

A *lot* more powerful than earlier Dysons, but the double edged sword is that it does make it more tiring as you constantly fight against it pulling the carpet up..

Begs the question - is it not slowly destroying your carpets?
