Is my hoover messed up or just less dust around?

dekaspace · 2016-02-04 00:42:41

Been using a new hoover for about 2 and a half months, first time I used it, the whole cup filled up with dust as old one wasnt that good at deep pickup(was fine for surface layer of dust and crumbs but nothing else) Then each time I used it be it every 2 or 5 daysit picked up a lotof dust, so much so I got an eye allergy…

I recently got back a flat where I provided a Dyson. The place had been let for two & a half years, and the Dyson had not been emptied once. The dust had completely filled the machine down to the beater bar, jamming it.

I have had the whole machine in pieces to wash them, the filters have been in soak overnight, yet still I can smell my lazy tenants when I run the machine. I just ordered new filters.

I think that's the only option in extremis.
