What about a nifty Dyson "Automatic Vac Wash"?

I understand what you're saying, and I can see the appeal...but people in the UK are still happily pushing around 17-year old DC01s which have never been dismantled, aside from perhaps a new powercord and hose...

I just can't say I feel dirt building up within the cyclone pack is big enough of an issue for enough people to warrant the huge cost of implementing the scheme you're describing. Dyson can supply a brand new cyclone for free under warranty if needed.

I have work to do!

I'll pass your comments on - as I say, I like the thinking, but it seems like a rather complicated solution to a minor issue. If people wash their filters every 3-6 months, dirt shouldn't build up in the cyclones to the point that performance suffers anyway. And if performance isn't affected...I just can't see the need.

From a hygiene point of view; no dirt is hygienic - take any vacuum cleaner air-duct and swab it, and I'm sure it will be crawling with bacteria! Sanitising any cleaner lasts until you run it again, and reintroduce dirt into the system!

Perhaps a better idea would be a Dyson-run filter-wash service!
