Sweet talking Dyson... Well... This is actually my second V8. I got my first in June from ao.com. At the start of October I noticed the bin was becoming harder and harder to empty because of the red shroud wipe and eventually seized. I contacted Dyson and because they didn't have many spares...

V8 after 6 months. This is mine after nearly six months of daily use. As you can see from the photos it had quite a nasty fall, resulting in cracks on the cyclone. It is fine as no air leaks from the crack.

Hopefully it isn't the one I made (wrecked) Hopefully it isn't the one I helped to make during my tour Friday. Lol!

My V8 My V8 is very quiet compared to the V6, even on max mode. I had my friends V6 total clean and was surprised at the differences of the two. Also, in the new catalogue they show the new Numatic Compact range.

160* Sorry, got confused between 160 and 180.

Is the Compact a different size? If the Compact is the had the base of a smaller Numatic like the James, would it not have the 'dip' in between the castor wheels? I think that it is a completely different size to the 300 that we are used to using. I may be wrong though. I found a photo of a...

Numaticrule29 Thanks for the info. Could you possibly send me a photo of what it is meant to look like? Also, is it easy to remove the suppressor? Thanks.

Hi I was wondering if anyone has a photo of the solution control switch on a Vax 121. I was given one yesterday with only the large shampooing head used, but I don't know how to fix the solution switch. Also, is there a suppressor that would need taken out? I haven't had many older vacuums and I...

Hello! A very 'early' happy new year to everyone! Anyway, with all of that over with, I thought I would show you what I have found in the Dyson website. The Small Ball. It is basically a DC50 with a DC24 handle. Why was it brought back? Was it for durability of something like that? Everyones...

If he can be bothered making an ad, Why can't he buy some £2.74 bags for it... Some people make me want to roll around in the corner of a dark room, crying!

I was looking on eBay and came across this. It has a new style base with the 3D face and on the box it says 140619180 (6th week of 2014) I thought they were discontinued in 2006/07 any thoughts? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-HENRY-HOUND-PET-VACUUM-CLEANER-/221852255944?nav=SEARCH
