Mrs Frugal Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes, the bags are quite expensive, aren't they. I had a couple of bagless vacuum cleaners and hated getting covered in dust, hair and general grub when I emptied them. There was always something stuck in the container somewhere that I had to fish out . I hate the waste involved in using bags but much prefer the convenience.

cordelia Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Dyson...cant remember the model, its a year old with Hepa filter, all surface cleaning and picks up animal hairs and is excellent...

Reikiranf Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I love my dyson, I have the DC07 animal and I've had it for quite a few years. Dysons don't have to die, you can actually have them serviced, even when they've broken down For the price of the service they replace any broken/worn parts on the machine except for the accessory tools. I had mine done in July, the engineer came to my house stripped the dyson down replaced the hoses, canister, brush bar, motor and a few other bits that would have cost me nearly £140 for the bargainous price (in my eyes) of £63.62 and it's now guaranteed for another year I wouldn't bother getting it done everyyear, but when a few bits need replacing it's a lot more cost effective than getting a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 you can actually have them serviced, even when they've broken down For the price of the service they replace any broken/worn parts on the machine except for the accessory tools. Is this a Dyson service ? how do I book one ? We have a repair shop in Henley but you can't park close which is a pain when you're carrying the dyson and it means being without a vacumn cleaner for a few days. Someone coming to the house would be great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklyrabbit Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 We have a Henry Numatic and he's great! Picks up all the cats' hairs with no problems, light enough to take upstairs and is easy and quick to empty. Not too expensive either. We decided to get it a year ago after noticing that many of the contractors we deal with (through the business) seem to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millihelen Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Miele every time - I am on my third, but I've never had one actually fail, so I can't remember why I got a new one! Mine has a HEPA filter thingy - which I think lasts longer than the normal sort. I don't like bagless, as I prefer not to see all the hair, dead skin and general grot! Friend of mine once had a Dyson and she was convinced it was sucking up carpet as well as the dirt, and the carpet pile was getting thinner.....

helenp Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Have just got a Dyson Ball. It is fantastic, with 3 dogs (one being a husky who sheds all the time) & 2 cats it picks up everything, even tries the carpet in the bedroom!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is! if you go to http://www.dyson.co.uk you can arrange it, though the price has gone up to £69 now But that's still a bargain if quite a few parts need replacing.
