Dysons = Nice Idea but in practice they are actually poor vacuum cleaners.
My basis for this argument, I have fixed and tested 1000's of vaccum cleaners.
Dysons are over priced and are not easy to take apart (or at least not straightforward enough for the lay person). I'm surprised Mr Dyson keeps being able to pull the wool over everyones eyes. I hate having to use Claires folks one to clean up as it does'nt suck worth a dam, the turbo head keeps burning out with waomens hair trapped in it and they cannot be serviced, The perma filter if you clean it needs several hours to dry.
Look out for a local vac repair shop and see if they do a hoover turbo 1 or 2 reconditioned. Will cost £40 ish. You'll go through 1 bag a month at a cost of £2 for 5 and if you get a turbo 2, it has 2 filters which are cheap to change and because the bag is the main filter they maintain suction longer.

Vax hoovers are also good too, we had the one before the luna as well as a turbo2, covered all bases and still going long after the dyson dc01 I was given gave up after the 2nd motor.
