    Dyson DC02 cord rewind issue

    Hi guys! Happy New Year everyone. I've been extremely lucky this week. I was just scrolling down free cycle at work and saw an ad for a free Dyson from someone just down the road from me. I thought someone else will probably be quicker and take it before me but thankfully - no. I picked it up...

    Miele S143 stick vacuum won't change speed?

    Hi guys! I'm currently visiting my mum's new place and was just giving it a little clean with the S143 we got last year. Everything's been good the last few times I used it last week but for some reason since yesterday I cannot seem to change the suction from Min to Max. The slider works, you...

    DC25 keeps spitting out the exhaust filter?

    Hey lads! I've recently refurbished my friends Dyson DC25. She got it off eBay for 20 quid, it was in a pretty mint condition, just very dusty. A bit of elbow grease, spit and polish and it looks like brand new, me myself was impressed. I gave both the pre and post (or A and B) motor filters a...

    Dyson motorheads - what's the difference?

    Hi guys, I've recently been on a research quest that has left me full of questions and little answers. So I have a V7. I'm considering getting extra motorheads for it (e.g. the small one or the soft roller). I realise that whatever accessory I'm getting it'll need to be the one with the red...

    Dyson evolution - timeline?

    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...

    Water filtration DYSON prototype?

    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...

    Problem with a Vax Rapide Deluxe Carpet Washer

    As I said, I have got a Vax Rapide Deluxe Carpet Washer. But... The water pump did not work. I don't know what to do. I filled it with water.
