Hi guys! Guess what I just bought and definitely cannot afford. You got it, a new Dyson. I've had such stressful past few months trying to balance two part time jobs with a degree, I thought I deserve a little mood pick me up. Also, I'm about to graduate - what better gift to get? Or that's...

Hi guys! Hope you lot are well. Something that's been on my mind a lot lately (probably cause V6 is on offer in Argos and I'm tempted to spend the remnants of my student loan on it) and was wondering if any of you knows if this is a thing: Is there anywhere online a Dyson timeline? I'd be so...

This is so true and I think very much relatable to all consumer goods. It's definitely changing and we will reach a point one day when it all collapses cause how long can we go on for? It is all greed and consumerism. After all, the first lightbulbs sold had no intended obsolesce time. I...

Hey guys! I'm writing here asking for help in some way. My mum managed to sold our house and we need to clear it out. I've lived away for years now and completely forgot that there's two vintage Hoovers hiding away in my family home. I'm talking about U1104 and the blue 1146. Some of you...

dysonman1, that sounds amazing! do you think there's any chance I'd be able to see some of those pics? for some reason I'm just so excited by any vacuum that does water, especially dyson. Would love to see them!

Hey guys! I bet this is a long shot but - ages, ages, ages ago I read somewhere that one of the first Dyson prototypes involved water filtration. I even remember seeing a 'soon to be' model that kinda resembled the 90s Big Green Machine, but it had a clear bucket. It must have been years ago...

Surprisingly, what I've used recently to refurb the base of a few vacuums I got my hands on was headlight polish paste. My mum got her hands on some somehow, it's a bit like Cif, but instead of scrubbing and scratching as such it's meant to polish. It's got some potent chemicals in it too, but...

Fair does Repair, as much as I love Rainbow, I think marketing here is the majorly differing issue. I have no clue what's it like on the other side of the pond however in Europe Dyson was most definitely the first bagless vacuum, at least advertised as much. Rainbow's been strong since the...

That germ killing thing was I think mostly present in the Karcher's TSC555. My mum used to work at Karcher in the late 90s and they were still available in Poland, I remember seeing it in one of the catalogs describing its magical powers. Ibaisaic has a really cool video on it and in the end you...

All done! stay tuned for some photos once I'm done with it. I need to get the hose and all the attachments. I've got the telescopic tube, but the hose attached to it was cut in half... for some reason unknown to me. But I'll do that once I get back to London, currently back home in Poland...

I mean the marked bit - I want to take the grid off and clean under it - is the rubber band glued to both pieces or is it just magically twisted together?

you both are absolute stars! Cyclone is now in pieces... well, sort of - can i take the shroud off of the two mini cyclone bits?

Oh come on, let the kid play :P In fact, if anyone has any tips on taking any of it apart that'd be majorly appreciated. That bloody James hides the screws as much as he can. I've been struggling to take this bastard apart for the past 3 hours. My mum started doubting in my vacuum skills, and so...

Heya! So I managed to find myself a pretty decent DC11, all complete and in a good condition, apart from one thing - it's hella dirty. It's my first time disassembling a Dyson and, surprise surprise, I'm struggling with taking apart the cyclone. I have the exact same key screwdriver, I've...

One yet difference - their water filters started off looking like the one you have - a simple pipe going down into the tank and a foam filter separating the water from air. Later on they decided to 'advance' them making them much more complex, or just - complicated and literally pointless. They...

This is basically the same model. They were either called Zelmer Wodnik Duo (wet+dry vac hence duo) with one of the buttons masked just like on your model or Zelmer Wodnik Trio (wet + dry vac + shampoo hence trio) with an additional button to activate the pump and a hose that stores the pipe...

Hey guys! Yeah, as a Pole I can sure agree these are made by Zelmer in Poland, or at least used to, since Zelmer moved it's factory from Rzeszów in the south of the country to China. My auntie had one of those - there was a lower end model with just the suction option (there's a blowing plug at...

I've just been feeling nostalgic and felt like searching for this. Could you imagine it's been seven years! i was barely 15 when i got this Kirby, haha, oh how much has changed. I quite miss it. I remember i sold it to someone for double the price I got it. Young businessman, innit?

I think I could if you're willing to cover the p&p cost! But it might be pricey... :/
