Have y'got a Dyson?

[teuchter]

I know everyone says they are overpriced and over-rated.

But I want to get a stick type one like this, and there don't seem to be many alternatives.



I had a conventional upright Dyson a while ago, which I actually got off freecycle so can't be accused of unwise spending. But I was reasonably impressed with it. It worked, and also, it seemed quite easy to get replacement parts and easy to replace them.

Don't tell me to get a Henry - it needs to be cordless, and convenient for stairs and various small spaces. Small capacity doesn't matter because it's for a fairly small flat.

Dyson cunt product crap cheap labour thread over.

teuchter the main alternative to having a dyson is not having a dyson. so you do seem to have the main alternative already, chuck.

to be fair i don't think the labour's crap, i just think the design's rubbish

Loads of cheap Chinese lithium powered tools of all description. I've got a 25 quid rechargeable hand held that beat the hell off old black and decker.

Thanks. Had a look. Although the cordless ones don't seem much cheaper than Dyson.

We have that cordless one at Makerspace (blagged a free one off the Dyson Foundation ) and it's pretty damn good. I might have a different opinion if I'd paid my own money for it so hey. Feel free to drop by and have a go on it.

Why did that make me laugh?

I have one, got it before I knew Dyson was a cunt.
It is actually very good, and very very handy.

And the hand dryer blows. Everywhere according to the bods in white coats

I've got an upright dyson - had it for years now. The dust container thing is slightly damaged but the hoover works fine - probably because I only hoover about once a year.

Just re-carpet every 20 years. Save on the hoover, electricity and hassle.

I don't have carpets. What kind of a monster do you take me for?

 

[danny la rouge]

I had a Dyson and it kept breaking down. To be fair they'd come and fix it or send out replacement parts ad Infinitum, without an extended warranty. (So not sure exactly how the business model works). But it was a hassle.

Then I got a Henry, which works OK but is huge and unruly and a bugger to store. (The hose also keeps coming undone when I use it, but it screws back on easily enough. Still a pain though). I don't really like it.

I'd ideally like an unright that doesn't keep breaking down/ snapping. But I won't be getting another Dyson.

 

[trabuquera]

got one and think it's not half bad - certainly easier to store than a Henry, the different brushes & tube are usefullish, it seems hard to break it completely, and if you think you've broken it you will usually find that washing the filter pad wotsit will sort it out. Real design flaw though: if you've got the long tube fitted on it, taking the brush/roller/whatever attachement off the end is a proper faff.

 

[moose]

Nope. I had one of the old Dysons, and it was shit - cat fur killed it. Got a Miele now, and it's pretty good.

I know someone with one of these, it doesn't last long on its batteries, I just managed to clean the inside of my car before it conked out.

I have one, it's a secondhand one that my dad gave me.

I've never used it though as butchers does the main hoovering. He say's it's great.

No alternative? Get a handheld vacuum cleaner and simply hold it closer to the object that needs cleaning.

Or tie it to a broom handle.

I would like to recommend my family's preferred vacuum supplier - Vorwerk, from Germany

Imagine having to work for Teuchter. He'd be following you around the flat checking for where you missed a bit.
