I am in need of a Dyson which is ideal for dealing with dog/cat hair and dust issues has anyone here used the DC21 or DC23l They both seem pretty good, but its a question of which one is more of the beast at cleaning

I recently bid for and purchased a second hand DC07 from usual place. Cost me £45. Got to say i'm very impressed, it's really helped with my dust allergy. Performs 100 x better than any vacuum i've used before. No doubt the latest models will be even better. I would highly recommend dyson.

Why not borrow one and them hoover up the cat and dog thus saving you money and not having to hoover up cat and dog hair again ?

I Bennet it took you a while to think of that.

We've had 2 Dysons and they were both pants (and not cheap either). They were fine for a few months but bits broke, suction wasn't as good and the dirt canisters would no longer sit in place properly.

After the first one died (15 months ish) my dad bought another one because 'they are British and well made'. I think that one lasted about 8 months and he now has a Henry.

Think that's the main concept of a hoover.

But seriously, I've heard they are. Go for a Henry instead.

They all come with a 5 year parts and labour warranty now.

If hes chosen a Henry, its not for the vacuuming.

It may be, but we're talking about a Dyson.

I've still got my DC03 from way back when (must be about 10 years now). Still works fine. Admittedly it doesn't get used nearly as much as other households might use one, but I just don't bash the living daylights out of it and look after the cord when winding it up (the power cord strain relief on the DC03 has a well-known tendency to fail).

I've had a DC07 for about 5 years now. It started to go a bit wrong and Dyson have a policy where you call out their engineer and they arrive and fix it all for £50. That includes call out, labour and every part needed for the Dyson.
I basically had a newly rebuilt Dyson by the end of it.

My dysons on it's last legs DC07, pick ups rubbish. Anyone have an experience of the Vax bagless uprights?

AJUK · 6 Mar 2009 at 07:55

We had a Dyson, never liked it. Ugly, noisy and quite frankly crap.

Henry, Miele or Vax for me in future. Just bought a Vax Mach 3 upright, it has a headlight!

Seems OK but a little over complicated. I wanted a Meile but her ladyship said they were too expensive and they didn'y have any Henry's in stock at the shop where it was absolutely imperative that we got a new vac there and then. :rolleyes:

brummie · 6 Mar 2009 at 08:14

I met a woman who stuck a dyson up her bum. She was quite poorly but reckoned she was picking up well.

mame · 6 Mar 2009 at 09:23

How can you hoover with a dyson? My vacuum cleaner is made my samsung so I so can't hoover with that either

arknor · 6 Mar 2009 at 09:32

ive got a dyson dc08 that has lasted around 5 year with daily use

it still sucks good if i give it a proper cleaning out in the bath, the filter needs cleaning once a week though
