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

Well that's not a particularly high bar to clear is it?

No, but it makes James Wilkinson's claim that they fall to bits not true.


I know about 10 people locally with Dysons. 9 of them said they're **** and that important parts fell off or seized up (usually the motor or clutch fails catastrophically). The 1 that likes them has a husband who is constantly repairing it! I saw it once, it was covered in tape and clamps to hold it together. And it's only 4 years old.


Mine has rubbish suction after 10 years. I've taken almost all of it apart without finding anything amiss or bunged up. I CBA to take the motor assembly apart, everything else has been examined and found fine. I doubt I'll get another, though for £20 I can't complain.
