typical British quality, just like Rover.

Had our Dyson coming up to 13 years and still works as good as new.


With no repairs others than consumables? Perhaps they've improved their
quality.

We have a DC01, bought about 19 years ago, still working well. The
relative who recommended it to me still has his even older one, and it's
also still in regular use.


I didn't ship a 50's Hoover constellation home from S Africa in 1983
because it was too heavy. It still worked perfectly.

Let's face it, its a disgrace that Dysons have so many spare parts. Back
in the day all that wore out was the rotating brush, the rubber belt,
sometimes the bag, and the carbon brushes in the motor.

€œit should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.€
