Dyson Repairs
I used to work for a small appliance repair shop that was one of the only authorized Dyson repair centers around. I can't even begin to tell you how many machies came in and out of the store. I'm not a fan of bagless machines, but as far as bagless goes, from the other machines out there Dyson is the way to go. I usually used a Dyson to vacuum the sales floor at closing time and I always emptied it outside the store in the dumpster that was right outside the back door. I would never think of dumping it inside the store due to the cloud of dust it would make. I cant speak for the newer Air Muscle models, but when the DC27 first came out we had several in for bad switches and failed motors. The DC07 was in constantly for problems with the clutch. As someone mentioned above they really do require a lot more up keep than a bagged machine. I am a huge Kirby fan and while its not for everyone, other than changing the bag when its full and changing the belt every few months, they dont really require any thing else. The Dyson's dust bin and cyclonic chambers can collect an imense amount of dirt, along with its costly filters that need to be washed or changed, which means more money and more down time. They do a decent job cleaning, have fairly good tools, and are relatively quiet compared to other plastic vacs, but for their price tag the build quality could be better. The plastic appears to be a bit better than some other machines but still not as durable as it should be.
I know that everyone has their own thoughts on Dyson, or any vac for that matter, and I do appriciate them for what they are but they just are not for me. To each his own and happy vacuuming!
