Well, guys, more carboot sale finds! First up was a £3 bissel carpet master manual carpet cleaner in original box:

Next up a random turbine head I found:

And another DC02 DeStijl, I already have one but I couldn't leave it! It's filthy but works and only cost me £3

 

[ultraperformer]

Tansley again George? I'm gonna have to nip down at this this rate and get a De Stijl too xD

Nice find George! That's a beat up DC02! I bet it still works well though

Yup tansley again!!
And that DC02 still works great, I've just uploaded a video of it
Now I was cleaning up a few granules of kitty litter when I noticed that the turbine head was really loud, and I took it apart and I've somehow managed to chip SIX turbine fan blades on the turbine head!!

Another shot of broken blades:

Wow! What a find with the Bissell!

WE have the exact same one, sometimes use it for Shampoo small areas but do use the VAX 6131 for more high-traffic areas. Keep it up!

Today on the carboot nabbed a VAX V-2000C Vacuum for free, but turns out the motor is burnt out, after 3, yes, 3 uses!

 

[dysondestijl]

I'm not sure what that vax looks like

 

[hi-loswitch98]

I'll give you a link

To be honest i'm only a bit dissapointed that it's burnt out as it was free, I would be ****** off if I had payed for it!

Ah ! My friend had that, but she had it for 1 week and then her husband was emptying it, he tripped on a stone, landed on the vax, broke it, and broke his arm in the process! They got a hetty to replace it

Funny Story

Yes, will be taking the VAX to the tip, can't believe after 1 months use (for these people I got it from probably about 3 uses) it has burnt out. Chinese manufacturing I suppose!

 

[dysondestijl]

Hehe! Maybe it just got blocked as the user failed to clean the filter every 20 seconds as recommended...

 

[hi-loswitch98]

Probably

Never thought of that, might have been blocked & overheated, that caused the motor to burn out.

Thanks dysondestijl!!!
