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.

That happens to every vacuum and is a complete mystery to mankind. My Vax is 25 years old (nothing's broken except one of the brushes, which I replaced on Ebay for a fiver). But the suction isn't as good as I think it used to be, maybe my memory is at fault. I HAVE taken the motor apart, and everything looks fine. All the filters are clean etc aswell. I don't know why it would suck less. I assume motors can't get weaker with age?

I doubt I'll get another, though for £20 I can't complain.

£20 for a Dyson? Having said that, I got four of them on freecycle, two in working order with broken handles and tubes and so forth, one with a faulty motor, and one with a seized clutch. So I can make a good un easily.
