Hi there,
As an avid Car Boot Fan over the years I have seen many different types of Vacuum Cleaners on peoples stalls but have never bought one - until last Sunday!
When I was at Chirk someone was Selling a used Dyson DC04 with a carrier bag hanging off the side (tools were in here) & there was a piece of card saying 'DYSON SPARES £1'. When I walked past I assumed they were selling the actual cleaner separately & the carrier bag with tools in was £1, but I asked & they said the whole lot was £1! (They obviously thought it didn't work) but after buying & taking it to the car I realised the airway bits on the side were off & the brushroll, base plate & bottom suction channel were missing from the machine. However, lucky for me, a quick root in the carrier bag found all the missing bits!
So, after an uncomfortable ride home, I plugged it in & it worked! But it was very dirty & needed a good scrub.
I washed the dust bin & the yellow bit in the middle, gave the cyclone a scrubbing on the outside & washed the filters. I then put the belt over the brushroll, attached the suction channels, & put on the base plate.
I then tested it & watched how amazing it was to see this little ball of dust in the bin, swirling around & each time you saw it it got bigger!
I am going to put in on eBay soon though after I give it a REAL good clean.
Also I bought a Bissell Aroma Pro for £20
PICTURES WILL FOLLOW
THANKS FOR ANY REPLIES!!!
