Bought our Dyson vacuum cleaner 6 years ago, and have never had problems with it. Cost near £250 at the time. The hose had become somewhat frayed over the past year, and then last week we had an electrical fault. I rang Dyson`s helpline yesterday, and the service man came this afternoon, very pleasant chap, and replaced the hose, sorted the electrical fault, and replaced other worn parts. He`s now ordered a newer motor and cylinder, as the suction had dropped a bit, (though I never noticed it), and all this for £69! We now have a virtually new Dyson, which includes 12 months parts and labour guarantee. It`s the best after sales deal I`ve ever experienced. Anyone else have one of these vacs, or had a bargain service for anything else?

The hose on ours went the same Colin, after the guarantee ran out.
They sent a new one free of charge within one week.
ten years old now and the hose broke last week, only thing is I know how to repair them now.

I had a dyson, we thought it was rubbish, we just couldn't get on with and it lost its suck - very important in a vacuum cleaner.
I took it up the tip and we bought a "Henry" - great machine and has been since we bought it, not a single problem.

Ditto with the Dyson, replacement hose and now its fine. It's great for pet hair and seed/feathers. I also have a Henry - I couldn't resist that smiley face. Reminds me of the ones they had when I was in the Civil Service (sad I know.) It's not as powerful as the Dyson but I still like it.
Here's my cleaner using it!!

Lovely Jeane, though I thought he was repairing it. Doing a skeleton service.

No Colin, I've worked him to the bone and he's dyson with death - boom boom!!
Incidentally his name is Bonaparte and he is rubber. I use him for advertising and displays; he's very popular and has even received fan mail, although when he arrived I had visions of the neighbours ringing the police!
Here are a few more shots of him.
Brilliant Jeane. When will you allow him to become a Forum member? I want to get his views on green paint.

Very nice too Jeane, but I think you may need to put your hubby on as well at sometime or you may set minds wandering. No way of telling on here if the one your with there is made of rubber. You`re not Jeane Bates now are you?

Old Napoleon does seem a happy chappy though! He's always got a smile for the camera.

Jeane, thought of you this afternoon, while up here. I`m assuming those iron mongery leaves are Victorian? Quite a large plot this one.

Stunning ironwork there Colin, where are you up? Looks like an Art Noveau style so possibly around 1890 -1914 and a large family plot. Incidentally Ivy leaves represent friendship in grave symbolism. I do like when people see graveyards and think of me

Jeanie Jeanie Jeanie, (sorry Jeane, Eddie Cochran number), I took the image up Connaught this afternoon. Old ironmongery always interests me, and regarding graves, I can visualise Victorians standing round it paying their respects, while at the same time, thinking that they`re also long gone.
