Got another Dyson DC01!!!

[madabouthoovers]

Yes, I agree. The Sebo X4 only needs the filters changing after 20 bags are changed, and that's a lot of dirt (about 100 litres) The bags are a tenner or so for 10 and the service pack is only about £24 for 10 bags and a pre-motor / post motor filter.
Miele enclose the filters free with the bags, and the Hepa filters only need replacement after 50 hours of use.
Bagged machines always help the secondary filters to stay cleaner for longer, as the bags are fundamentally the main filters. The only reason a secondary filter would become clogged on a bagged cleaner would be if the bag burst, and in a modern cleaner this is very unlikely, unless cheapo copy bags are used.

The filter Kit for a Vax power 6 is £24 and this needs changing on a regular basis, so this would work out dearer than bags and filters put together on a Sebo cleaner. I know this as I have both cleaners and have looked into costs of maintenance.

Peopl tend to replace bags on a bagged cleaner when full, giving full suction and airflow to the motor again, but on a bagless, they just empty the bin and neglect the filters - so then the motor burns out prematurely so costing a whole lot more than a pack or so of bags to put right.
So many bagless vacs die needlessly due to owners neglecting basic maintenance, either out of ignorance that bagless are high maintenance, or out of laziness.

I also think that the Dyson models after the DC14 have become very flimsy, and many DC24's have failed early on the brushroll motors which give out after remarkably few operating hours. However, Dyson do stand by their products and they will usually honour the warranty, which other companies try to wriggle out of by blaming the consumer for abusing the vac.

DIRTDEVIL HAND HELD 105 IN BOX BRAN NEW

Bran New? Is that some sort of arty-farty breakfast cereal?

I know there are people on here who have learning difficulties and difficulty with spelling - I'm not trying to cause offence to anyone, but please can you try and make sure your posts make sense? Based on common internet ettiquette, the combination of capital letters and lack of punctuation sort of implies that you're shouting, very quickly.

You've also posted that picture of your Dysons twice. We all saw it the first time.[this post was last edited: 6/4/2013-11:04]

Yes Citroenbx I absolutely agree with Chris, I'll let your all capital letter/no punctuation post above stay this time, but if it happens again I will delete it.

The forum rules of Vacuumland state that you must at least try to make your posts understandable using correct grammar and spelling. Everyone makes mistakes, but posts like the one above are unacceptable.

NOT VERY GOOD AT spelling OR punctuation

I DO HAVE learning difficulties

"I DO HAVE learning difficulties"

And I have dyslexia myself. It can be very difficult for me to write with a pen or pencil on paper, so the computer has helped me enormously, but I still make a ton of mistakes as I type. But because of this I take extra care to proof read my posts, sometimes five or more times before I hit the post button. I don't expect your posts to be perfect, mine certainly are not, but I do expect you to try extra hard if you want to post here. Posting quality is important in the new Vacuumland and having learning disabilities is not an excuse to be free from the forum rules. You just need to take your time and be extra careful.

That may be the case, but you're on a computer. So you're either pressing shift or caps lock. The simple answer to that, is don't press that button. It's better to write in all lower case than in capitals.

The easier way to learn punctuation is to think about how you speak. Use full stops and comma's where you would normally end a sentence or take a pause.

Like it says in the forum rules, you won't get on trouble for poor spelling and grammar, but you need to try and make sure your posts make sense. If you're struggling with it, ask us . We all help each other out and as long as what you're saying is clear and makes sense, that's all that matters
