    Anyone recognise this American parts brand packaging?

    I was looking for a non gen DC26 filter, I only found them in the US. But I don't recognise the brand, something-care?   If I can find out who makes that (I know who sells it but it is seldom one and the same) I can likely get some.    Anyone recognise that branding please?

    Dyson DC05 has just stopped working

    Known issue with the DC05. The easy way to check is to plug it in, switch on and wiggle the wire near the plug. A spurt of life tells you its the plug.

    Something I thought I'd never own - an early Connie :)

    Dyson Radial Root Cyclone Doesn't Work Very Well!

    Quote Marcus: in fact I think I should start a website for dyson lovers :-)    We did that already.    I must admit, I am no fan of the 40/41/50 though. The DC07/14 are capable machines. From there it started going downhill. The 40 has design faults more serious than a leaky filter...

    Does anyone have a Hoover Constellation Floor Head for Sale?

    I am having difficulty finding a floor head though.    I was thinking I might pick a few of these up and we could sell a few of them as retro updated refurbs, rewired with later hoses and tools. I might get a head that way.    Do any later Hoover hoses fit these does anyone know please?

    Does anyone have a Hoover Constellation Floor Head for Sale?

    I recently acquired a rather tidy Constellation 867A, along with a brush and crevice tool. But it has no cleaner head/floor tool.    Does anyone have one for sale?    Also, did they have a stair tool? And did they have any storage for the tools or not?

    some thing went arye vintage hoover constellations

    So I found a Constellation down in Essex a chap had advertised. £32 inc delivery with various tools, bags etc with it. It looks quite straight from the photos and runs. Doesn't seem a lot of money to tinker with a golden oldie.

    some thing went arye vintage hoover constellations

    I wanted one of these, there was one on eBay a few days ago that I bunged £40 on. I didn't win it.    I wasn't sure of the values, I just thought it worth a punt at £40.    What is a nice one worth in the UK?

    Cars!

    We have a Chrysler 300C which I got new in 05 and it has never missed a beat. My wife uses that now. We have a Merc Sprinter van for the shop as well.    I have a Range Rover Sport now. I'll stick a photo here of it and the van as some may appreciate the registration plates.

    Daily driver?

    A DC14 from a batch of new ones we were selling a while back, and an iRobot Roomba. I also have the fan to match the blue DC14 and an Airblade in the downstairs bathroom in the Dyson family. I am musing on the idea of the 360 Dyson robot.

    Dyson DC28 Question for American Members

    I thought so too, but I didn't want to advertise them in the US as fitting the DC28 until one of the forum gurus from over the pond confirmed it.    There may be other models too that I am unfamiliar with. Dyson tend to add a letter to a completely different model - example being the DC33c...

    MUST see this mans views on dyson

    The bloke is using it for stuff a DC14 would be better suited to.    They are designed for zapping around wooden floors and the like in apartments, not cleaning up detritus from rabbits. People make the mistake - probably because of the marketing - if thinking they can use hand-helds like...

    new dyson

    It *may* be the case with the very new ones, but every DC41 we have seen has the same Johnson motor in as the DC25 up to now.    But really, that is the least of the DC41's problems. We wont sell them reconned any more as the build quality is so dire they are uneconomical to do and a...

    new dyson

    Parwaz said: <span style="color: #ff6600;">My DC25 head motor burnt out, but apparently the new brushbar motors have been improved</span>     Not the case. The DC41 shares the brushbar motor with the DC25.

    Dyson DC28 Question for American Members

    Happy new year to all! A question for those familiar with American model Dysons. The attached photo is of a new wand cable swivel we have that fits the DC15, DC24, DC25, DC27 and DC33. We know what UK models it fits, but I want to know if it fits any of the specific overseas models. Do...

    My Dyson DC04 De Stijl

    Dysonboy, we get a lot of the DC41's in for repair, and to be honest, I think they are dreadful. The cleanerheads use the same motor as the DC25, but they have a design fault in that the middle wheel comes out, the housing wears and the head glues itself to the floor. The only remedy is a new...

    Dyson DC02 Recyclone...

    Its a long time since I saw one of those in the flesh.    I *think* I may have a brush and crevice for one of those in case you are missing any.
