Well I've got to say I bought a Diamond Edition brand new from the local dealer a few years back and nothing could beat it then. I've now got a Sentria2 that I bought brand new and again nothing seems to come close to it. While I think all Kirbys perfrom pretty much the same the Sentria has...

New carpet got fitted today... Very pleased with it :)

Amazon

Along with the main dyson website, currys and Amazon both have them listed at 120aw too. Are you sure dysons mobile site isn't incorrect?

I suppose if the machine was at fault they have a level of responsibility to rectify the damage caused. And Citroen....how can you call those machines 'good'? They had poor filtration and gave a poor wash performance due to the lack of a powered water pump!

Any pics Dysonman1? And Dys0nb0y.... The Cinetic, DC55 and DC41 range are ALL rated at 120AW according to the Dyson website. The smaller DC40 range is rated at 100AW and the compact DC50 range at 70AW. So really the only difference between the Cinetic and the DC55/41 is that the Cinetic has...

Carpet company have been today to measure properly. It's ordered. We're going tartan LOL Comes to £700 exactly without the underlay. The guy took a look at our current underlay today and agreed it was pointless replacing it. Gets fitted on 6th January :) I'll be glad once it is fitted and I...

Hi guys..... so many things to reply to...... Firstly Tayyab..... I had an older version DC41 a while back and wasn't too keen. It generated a LOT of heat and had so much suction that the hose kept collapsing in on itself. I sold it on when it was only a few months old. The new versions are so...

I should probably add..... that Vax have also refunded the money I spent buying the machine in the first place as well

As the ruined carpet is barely two years old, the premium underlay is still like new and can be re-used, helping reduce cost. We're going for a Tartan pattern carpet (hoping it will look good) and a rough costing is £630 for the carpet itself while re-using our current underlay. I'm pleased...

I told you the damage to the hose would come in useful didn't I? Vax had sent me a letter saying there was nothing wrong with the machine and that the damage caused was my fault. Yet I had photographic and video evidence of faults AND damage on the machine. So my appeal was launched and they...

While inspecting the machine I also managed to cause a small amount of damage to the hose assemly... You'll see why this comes in usefull later in the saga.... So anyway I inspected the machine, found the issue with the nozzle loosing contact with the floor and then packed it up and sent it off...

I was straight on to Vax. They seemed more than helpfull at first and arranged for an independant company - Service Master - to come and inspect the damaged carpet. A few days later Service Master arrived and took a look at the carpet. The man said it was clear the machine had dispensed too...

When I lifted a corner of the carpet I found the backing and underlay were saturated. I went over the room with the Numatic George machine and extracted as much of what the vax had left as I could. However the damage was done. It took FOUR days for the carpet and underlay to dry. And that was...

I knew this carpet was okay to wash, as I'd previously cleaned it with both my Kirby Sentria II and the Numatic George. So off I went. First impression was that the Vax was so much easier to use. However it was very noisy and the water recovery wasn't too impressive. For every tank of clean...

On the 24th October I decided to replace my Numatic George. George had been bought purely to be used as an extraction machine and was at this point only a few months old, however I decided he was hard work. Don't get me wrong, the results he gives were satisfactory, but I'm around 6ft4 in...

All in all I'm over the moon with it. It is by far the most effortless and versatile machine I've ever had. Would I have another? Without a doubt. And it matches my DC55 colours too as they're both Total Clean models. The DC55 came with extra tools (pictured) so between the two of them I've...

I really like the option of being able to have the charger cable by itself instead of it being fixed into the dock. This makes it slightly less obtrusive. Similar principle to a mobile phone charger really. My previous cordless machine was a Black&Decker flexi and the charging dock on that was...

In terms of performance - I vacuumed the house from top to bottom with the full sized DC55 one day, and the next had a quick wizz through with the V6 - This is what it got. I was quite impressed

The machine itself is just effortless to use. It goes without saying that it glides into places I'd never get the full sized DC55. Under my bed for example - this would be a hands and knees job using the hose of the DC55. And I can nip out to the car whenever I want. It really does give the...
