    Dyson V8 Animal

    Hi Matt8808, Looks like a nice machine there. There appears to be some improvements on the V8 compared to the V6 range. I find the construction of the V6 to be a little flimsy. My V6 Absolute has had a broken wand at the top, (me being heavy handed). I see the V8 has a slightly different...

    Dyson V6 Absolute brush speed

    It seems my V6 Absolute head was developing a fault and the slow running was the start of it. Today the head would keep shutting off. Not sure if PCB or the Motorhead motor is at fault here. Had problem with previous head not always coming on when trigger pressed. Making sure I handle...

    Dyson DC39 Motor

    Dyson are not the best bet really for quality, but I like the design of them, dislike the creaking noises and the breakages I've had wite, even their very popular cordless. SEBO is a breath of fresh air, especially their powered nozzles D4 and E3 Premium models. Fantastic machines and very...

    Dyson V6 Absolute brush speed

    Hi Vacmaster, I notice this also when the Max mode is selected. I also thought that the brush was spinning a little slower on the regular mode also and thought there was something wrong. I've run it a few times since and its spinning and cleaning just fine so I maybe imagining it, or the head...

    Dyson V6 Absolute brush speed

    Hi All, I have a query regarding the brush speed on the Dyson V6 Absolute. Does the brush speed increase when the boost mode is selected? I know the main motor spins faster for more suction but from when I have used mine, it seems the brush is faster, but maybe I'm just imagining it. Thanks...

    Dyson DC14 Animal Airflow Losses

    It doesnt surprise me to be honest. I have suction loss with my Dyson DC24 and the V6 Absolute shroud causes a huge loss of suction. I have never owned the DC07 but used one a few times.

    New copycat Dyson cordless

    Vintagerepairer, Its funny you mention about Merloni taking over GDA. My Hotpoint that I purchased in 2015 says Indesit Conpany SPA on the sticker in the door area. It behaves just like an Indesit, essentially, it is an Indesit inside. Not a bad machine for the price and a 9kg drum with...

    New copycat Dyson cordless

    Henryfreyfuss, How am I supposed to know how the wand broke? I didn't design it or know how its put together do I. I was using it to vacuum my carpets, next thing the top was coming way at the top of the wand, It just broke at the top where the plastic joins the wand. As I advised before, I...

    New copycat Dyson cordless

    Those cordless machines look quite good. I'm one of those is not bothered by the lack of 'digital motor' I got the Dyson DC16 back in Dec 2006 and didn't have a digital motor and till this day do not notice the little 'heat' it generates. I purchased a V6 Absolute 2 months ago, whilst I love...

    Dyson cordless wands

    Hi Sebo_Fan, Dyson wanted to send out an engineer as I have reported a few odd niggles with the machine. I said that I didn't want an engineer out & if they persued it then I want them to collect the machine and give me a refund as I purchased it direct from their Ebay shop as a refurb model...

    Numatic_Boy, I don't seem to be no. I use the V6 Absolute every day.

    Dyson cordless wands

    Ctvacman, I will just have to see how it goes. I am disappointed it broke so soon to be honest, coupled with my experience of the DC35 wand doing the same thing, hasn't made me feel very confident about it's durability. There's an awful lot of creaking sounds from the wand a cleaner head in...

    Dyson cordless wands

    Hi all, I have a Dyson V6 Absolute that I purchased in May. I've already have had to request for a new wand to be sent out to me as the top plastic section of the wand that the machine clicks into has started to lift up at the front. If I keep using it, it will only result in breaking off...

    Dyson V6 Absolute

    My neighbours are so unlike me. I'm mad and do things at random times, go to bed late and wake up late when not working, but they go to bed earlyish and wake up well early on weekends. So that's why we clash in that way. The noise is more to do with the brush vibrating and the walls are so...

    Dyson V6 Absolute

    Hi, Yes I feel the carpet vibrate with the V6 Absolute. Also it feels like the machine wants to 'pull forwards' when I use it. I suppose it's only a good thing. I could get a standard V6, but perhaps the cleaning effectiveness won't be as good. Plus the HEPA filter must retain the microscopic...

    Dyson V6 Absolute

    Hi Parwaz, I used the machine today and think it's great. It's picks up really well and has a self propelling feel on my carpets. As you know I live in a 1st floor apartment that has poor sound insulation and I'm worried about the noise the V6 Absolute head transfers to the floor and the...

    Dyson V6 Absolute

    Hiii Parwaz, I decided to get a new Dyson cordless after my managed to crack the swivel neck support on my DC24 when I was vacuuming under the glass cabinet TV stand. Now when using the hose on my DC24 the machine sometimes leads more to the left due to the leverage on the broken swivel support...

    Dyson V6 Absolute

    Hi all, I purchased a V6 Absolute from Dysons Ebay Store, a refurbished model. I decided go get this as my car is far from my flat so need to be able to clean it. I also want a powerful machine to use in my 1 bedroom apartment. My DC35 serves me very well but I guess the V6 Absolute will last...

    Here Come the 2016 Dysons!

    Nothing wrong with them being Malaysian made. We spend stupid money on IPhones & Samsungs made on China. My gripe with Dyson is that they stop supporting their products after a number of years. Some of us actually like to keep old products going. A 2004 DC04 or 2007 DC16 is no longer...
