A very sad day for me

It sounds like your Dyson did lose suction and will be buried in the carpet after a short service.

As they say in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy DON'T PANIC
 
well

There louder then most newer machines, awful filtration they literally blow the dust out, build quality is literally non existent, juniors have that annoying issue with the brush roll clips vibrating not to mention the terrible hose suction and the fact the belts always snap, seniors are very heavy, turbopowers crack, split and vibrate not to mention they are loud, have poor hose suction and tp2s have the issue with the brush roll bearings and bag doors not to mention being heavy and quite frankly not that good, older machines may perform better on carpets but have many issues that people need you need to consider, I like my older machines but couldn't be bothered with them all the time, modern machines are a vast improvement over the 70s cleaners just because the dont beat the living daylights out of the carpet doesn't mean they dont clean to a high standard, obviously the dc01 is not a good machine at all really lol, my point is, is that you dont need to get a Hoover with activator the clean carpets when there are many modern machines that will perform to a good standard. I guarantee this will fall on deaf ears as collectors are as stubborn red wine stain on a shag pile carpet.[this post was last edited: 6/4/2014-15:32]
 
you don't mince your words there do you?

Steve as you may know i am blunt and strait to the point, I mean no offence in what I say, I also forgot the mention that many older cleaners are very small and have short cables
 
wasn't this

That DC01 you kept going on about 'only being used __ Times' and in mint shape? It makes me think of all the battle-scared Kirbys and HOOVERS and EUREKAS out there, beating and sweeping after DECADES of use!

Jamie, it is aBritish made Dyson, no wonder it lasted long. Plus Dyson are the best bagless vacuums you can get, and the DC01's were fairly reliable in their time. I still see DC04's and DC01's and a DC03 being used today! (Not by me, but from relatives, friends or family friends)

You posted this last year, is this not the same Dyson? It sure looks the same.

<div style="margin-top: 88px;">it pops up in every vacuum thread so make it own thread 

a bit about it used 24 times because they had wooden flooring 

ask as many questions to me as you want not for sale

There is no rating plate pictures-

And the pictures of the supposed broken dyson are all different! The 1st Dyson has no rating plate sticker and lime green DC04 tools. The other 3 have matching tools and no sticker. Why would you put 1 picture of the actual machine, and then 3 pictures of a newer machine with no relevance to the "Broken" Dyson (How often do I hear the term "Broken Dyson"!

)?
 
Beat the Dyson DC04 for a bagless machine :P
It is reliable, durable, sturdy, quiet, powerful, has a large capacity, has a round brushbar and other models have a clutch
Has HEPA
Has nice, proper tools
Has Great tool storage
Has a washable filter
Easy to take apart without any tools, a belt change is very quick
The cable is so easy to change, only 1 screw
It is user friendly
It has a suction control button on the handle
It lasts so long, I now many people in my neighbourhood alone who use DC04's.
The Dyson DC04 is more powerful than the modern vacs today (as in performance)
Te Dyson DC04 was one of the cheaper Dysons
The Dyson DC04 has the reliable motors, and it is a British made vacuum. They are geninely great Dysons, ask any UK vacuumland member about a DC04, they will start sayin positive things about them. Well it does have a few niggles like the odd cable connection (but this was sorted) and the large wand cap which is annoying.
 
All of those AND MORE.....
