why why why do they insist on trying to get to the bottom of the garden

The downside is it sounds like a hovercraft (and if you've ever been to Dover, you KNOW how loud those are). |
Surely that should be Hoovercraft?

Re: Our Dyson's died!
We ended up replacing ours with a morphy richards and i have to say it is a much better hoover and is more powerful. I am never going to get another dyson again!!!

Re: Our Dyson's died!
I have always been wary of Dysons.
I am sure that they are very advanced and technological but to me they scream Fischer Price....
Nuff said.

No, no, no, I have Fisher Price toys that are 20+ years old and still in perfect working order! Don't think you'd find a Dyson in perfect working order after 20 months!

Ah the good old 12 months 1 week (to cover postage time) chip lol It's amazing just how well things are built these days so that they last till just outside their warranty. Maybe if they built them to actually last as long as possible people would be more apt to praise them and continue to buy their goods.

Re: Our Dyson's died!
Aha - now whoever thought of that invention must be raking it in - just from me alone! The number of times I've had an iron, vacuum cleaner or toaster etc pack up just as the guarantee expired........
