Help Support VacuumLand:
Jake,
You know I'd NEVER bash. That said, it is a shame that they could snap after age. That's a lot of money to invest to see it weaken. Just a comment. Dyson is truly NOT the only brand to do that. My beloved HOOVER has some now that are truly not stellar as well.

John, your right in every respect.
By saying I do not support smashing vacuums, I was not pointing fingers! We can not all be savers! I admit, a certain dyson was saved from a skip and the only way to get to the bit I needed was to use a hammer,saw and screwdriver.

Gareth I like your message and to be honest I would never think to look in the archive unless prompted to do so.
Regarding the hard-floor tool supplied with some multifloor Dyson uprights, it never occurred to me until you said that it would be used for low level cleaning, with the bulk of the cleaning done in upright mode with brushes off. My personal choice is to never use an upright on none carpeted surfaces, irrespective of a brush roll or not. I like to use a cylinder cleaner, as if it were a broom almost. The only personal gripe I have with cylinders is that they don't work as well on carpets and can be very hard to move. Otherwise I'd never have an upright.

Well said Gareth
Gareth you hit the nail on the head! I have often thought that same thing. Some of us have put up with too much s@#t over the years because of our passion for vacuums. We don't need it here.
"Considering that most of us faced some form of persecution because of our fondness of vacuums at some point in our lives It seems strange that there is so little tolerance when someone says the wrong thing or posts something that seems worthless to others."

Here we go again!
Why bring up this subject here again? I thought we are SUPPOSED TO PRESERVE & COLLECT VACUUMS, NOT DESTROY THEM!

It was me who made that aw.org thread, I did NOT want a popular thread, just wanted to learn more about Hotpoint! I was unaware of the archive thread until you told me!

Jacob,
It wasnt you I was referring to hence I did not mention your name.
The member I refer to is long off the scene but most likely lurking.
Still it begs the question as why so many useless threads are made when answers ARE in the archives and are very easily found using the searchalator .

Because New memebers can answer with there opinions which may differ from those of the past, I mean really whats the big fuss
I was doing DIY
I done DIY, to help my dad i took my trusty dc08 down there, DC07 animal was being cleaned out so it did very well! it has sucked up plaster, sawdust, fine brick-wall dust for like 5 times now, all i had to do is just bang out the filters and empty it like every 5 mins or 2 mins for emptying! i had to hammer the skurting boards in place, and hammer a nail in one of those and accidently hit the dyson's contact head, and i was like omg, tough! i then hit the bin with a hammer, not a crack! i can even stand on the bins without breaking them
that's quality but my Dc04 lime is fragile compared to our new dc25 animal
I also noticed a dc01 is stronger than a dc04...
