A very sad day for me

[citroenbx]

my mum's dyson DC01 from 1998 is now retired

it's been vacuuming up for 16 years

it's very noisy and smells like burn

I said ill fix it
she said NO im having a dyson DC04 so can you please fix it up and you can keep the dc01

I said ok then

My heart bleeds.

 

[citroenbx]

some pics of it :-(

 

[citroenbx]

is that sarcasm ALEX

 

[suctionselector]

16 Years?

How your family didn't feel the urge throw it down the stairs in 16 years i'll never know.


 


Now run a nice older Hoover with an Activator or Beater Bar over the carpet and you'll see 16 years worth of hidden dust.


 


It beats as it sweeps as it cleans. It's that simple.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Yes

 

[suctionselector]

Need we say more Alex?


 


Go on Citroen, get a nice old Hoover, I bought a Turbopower Junior U1426 for just £5, leant it to my neightbour, and filled a third of a bag after she'd been round with her pleated Vax.

 

[citroenbx]

we've borrowed one of these Panasonic vacuums

the bag was half full

 

[suctionselector]

Well...

... at least your getting somewhere!


 


Didn't you have a big collection as well, so why not just use one of them?

 

[citroenbx]

because I never use them out of collection

and my mum said im not using one of your pride and joy

 

[suctionselector]

Ok...

... do you not vacuum at home then?

 

[citroenbx]

yes I do. With my mums dyson I vacuum up every day after tea

and upstairs Wednesdays

 

[suctionselector]

Ok...

... well, I would prefer an MCE-468 over a DC01 to be honest.

 

[citroenbx]

yes so would I now but is does give me backache and does no go right up the stairs

and bags are £1.50 per pack

 

[suctionselector]

£1.50 for bags...ok...

...so the cost of genuine Dyson filters, belts, and other spare parts are less than £1.50 then?

 

[alexhoovers94]

I would take that Panasonic over the noisy carpet sweeper anyday, far better and cleaner/cheaper to maintain.

 

[citroenbx]

the dyson washable filter are 8 month old

we never buy dyson genuine belts

Panasonic belts are about £2.00 per pack

 

[suctionselector]

I know it's been said before...

...but changing a bag is a lot less hassle than dealing with dust bins, and also changing and cleaning filters left right and centre.

Now run a nice older Hoover with activator

eeuugh, the amount of issues I can list that those types of machines have
