You may have a point.

We're on our second or third Dyson vacuum cleaner and it's so heavy I'm amazed it hasn't fallen through to the earth's core. It's rubbish at picking bits up too, but I'm always thrilled that it doesn't lose suction, partly because it never had much in the first place.

It sucks.

tish.

and they both broke really quickly. They're terrible at picking up dust and bits.

A Henry is cheaper and better.

Both rubbish. Succumbed to the style over content. Replaced the last one in the past couple of weeks with a bagged Samsung one. The difference is palpable...

This IS the Take A Break problems message board isn't it?

German and brilliant. We've had ours for 12 years.

*not to be confused with the shite-fest of the same name, signed by PLG for Rangers.

What you can't see is that the guy with the camera is blowing really hard through that plastic circle.
(I had a Dyson too - it was cr*p.)

I like the fact that Airflow is accelerated though an annular aperture. Its more a fart than a fan surely?

Clever marketing selling shite to the gullible (me included..) time and time again. Him and Simon Cowell should join forces. They'd take over the World.

I'm amazed that anyone has ever bought more than one Dyson. We have one and it's awful, always has been. We need a new one and it will not be a Dyson.
On the other hand, the Airblade is a magnificent product (I don't know if the person paying for the electricty thinks so as well though!).
I was only thinking the other day how ironic it was that the product that he made his name with sucks but the one that actually works, blows.

Now they are no longer made in this country there is even less reason to buy them.

A conventional fan that size would have given her face the skin-rippling look they used to have on Space 1999 when they were travelling at half-a-million mph. This thing barely moves her hair.

Based on the exact same principle as the drier in a drive-thru car wash. The guy is considered some kind of genius. I don't get it.
The vacuum cleaner - heavy, unreliable and dirtier than a regular VC.
The washing machine - gimmicky drum thingy. Died on it's arse.
The airblade - see above.
The desk fan - no blades, so that'll be £200, please.

until I read this thread I was perfickly happy with my Dyson - ace with doghair and brickdust and regular stuff.

The first clean after the bag is changed is great. It does lose efficiency to the point where I change the bag when it's only about half full.
I had been considering buying a Dyson when the Panasonic packs up. This thread has convinced me to go for something else.
So there we have it, the Word Blog has saved me £150+. I might go and celebrate by buying the latest issue from the newsagent rather than waiting an indefinite period for my subscription copy to be finally delivered.

who cares about the latest indie guitar bollocks when one can have an involved debate about vacuum cleaners?

The guy was a repair guy, so may be worth reading.

I thought I was the only one.

I had a Dyson and it literally fell apart in my hands. I was carrying it downstairs at the time, and the marvellous bagless cylinder discharged its contents all down the stairs and into the room.

My friends told me I must have been sold a dud, and I was halfway to believing them. Though in sense, they were right. They're all dud.

If it hasn't got any blades, how can the sh1t hit it?

Into Dust by Mazzy Star, for example.

or Upright Top Ranking perhaps.

or even Papa's Got A Brand New Bag

or anything by Basement Vax

or anything Electro(lux).

Sebo the Letter.

Inspiral Carpets

or

Wedding Present - Suck (2 jokes in one there).

on a Sunday afternoon.

The Young Rascals.

Only The Good Dyson...

I see.
Went to the electical shop round corner had 40 quid on me bought a red one.
What's the largest denomination coin you hoover up?

Dusty Springfield...?

my parent's old Nilfisk, given to them as a wedding present in 1965, and still going strong. Fantastic machine.
