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...
