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.

How strange that everyone here has had the opposite effect.

I think all the people I know have kids and pets and use them a lot. But normal vacuums for a fifth of the price don't wear out like that.

And it's you that's unusual: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3688983.stm

"The Dyson vacuum cleaner - famous for its bagless technology - is the least reliable of all upright and cylinder brands, a consumer magazine has said.
A quarter of 5,100 upright vacuum cleaner owners surveyed by Which? failed to give their Dyson an all-clear on performance after six years' use.

Nearly a fifth of Dyson cylinder users also reported issues.

Despite the problems, Dyson owners remain the most likely to recommend the machine to a friend, Which? reported."

So like Apple users, they have lots of problems and just keep on coming back. Morons....
