The original DC01 suffered with this problem in their millions, mine amongst them. It's gratifying to see that a later model still has the same problem :-( Mike |

Get ready for that. the Dysons I had were cheaply made junk in my experience and a £40 bagless cylinder cleaner from the local market has given far more reliable service for years. Don't be fooled by what is claimed by some cleaners or get dragged in to being a "vacuum cleaner snob". Another overpriced one I didn't find any better was a Miele. It did nothing my cheap cleaner can't apart from costing 4 times the price for a name. |

Although both are now consigned to the dustbin, I guess it's too late - I already warrant the title 'vacuum cleaner snob' with honours. However, in mitigation, I should point out that I've gone cold turkey and now own a cheapie cylinder model. No more brand-hype driven cleaners for me - I prefer one that sucks. Hey, someone could use that as a tagline! I'm on the road to recovery. Mike |
