I don't think they need to ask mate, it's fairly apparent straight off the batObviously?
So be it?
Do people ever ask you who the hell you think you are?

Very nice, and something a bit different to the usual classics.As long as it passes its MOT, which it should, I should be picking this up on Saturday morning:
My first car was an Imp, albeit not new! Handled great with a sack of sand in the front, but stalled every time it stopped at a junction...
Big classic car show at Weston Park in Shropshire over Easter too.

Not bought any new trainers for years

I like them. I don't often like NB styles.

Soooo nice to use. Much easier than the DC10 we've had for the last 14 years.

Yup, the V8. Super light & easy to use.
The hard floor head is excellent, much better than the normal brush head of you have hard flooring.

New strap for my iWristShiny
I have a DC40 Animal downstairs which is hard flooring and a Henry for upstairs. Truth be told it's the cleaners that use them more than I do so I've no idea what it is that they use or what they're like!
It's just the times I need to get something out quickly for the kitchen if I've knocked something over or the car etc, I hate untangling the cord and what not. Would be far easier to grab something handy off the wall that's battery powered.

V8 is perfect then. I keep it with the 'dust buster' attachment fitted, so can just grab for quick cleanups and it takes up less room in the cupboard. Swap to the pipe & brush head to do the stairs & upstairs, which is only a once a week job, and downstairs whenever it needs a quick once over every couple of days. Plus it's light enough for my 9yo to use easily
I take it there's no issue doing a full house with one? 4 bed, hard flooring downstairs, carpet up the stairs and upstairs itself (if that makes sense?).
As if I sold my Henry and existing Dyson I think I'd have a fair chunk towards the V8.

Should be easily doable on a full charge. The only issue might be that the bin is quite small but emptying it takes about 5sec. I did my (small) 3 bed at the weekend and had to empty the bin after doing downstairs & the stairs, then again after finishing upstairs.
That sounds like it'd be an issue for the cleaners and not me, cheers for your help. I'll get one ordered at some point. Cheapest place for one?

Got mine from their ebay outlet as a Manufacturer Refurb. Was absolutely mint condition, don't think it had ever been used. Bit of a discount but still £350 
Personally I've found that they're useful, but not as powerful as the corded versions. We've kept both (battery and cordless) and use the battery for quickly getting up dropped crumbs etc and the corded for a proper clean.

We use the small batter dyson for small crumbs every other day sort of thing and the big dyson for the big vacuum runs.

I bought a Miele C3 this month and it's blown my mind. The house smells better, the carpets (thick and thin) are visually cleaner and it's really quiet.
Couldn't believe it.
