Cheapest place for a dyson

Need to replace our aging dyson. Need an upright, no special features, no roller ball etc.

Anyone know of the best and cheapest place to get one ?

The tip? Must be plenty of broken ones there

Buy cheap buy twice (or three times, or four, or more with crap Dyson).

You'll maybe get a used Kirby for £150. Then you won't ever have to buy another vacume ever again, sorted.

Ring up Dyson and get them to come and service it. It'll be almost new for under a hundred quid.

To the op, you are looking at Suction Power in "air watts" and you want to get one that has over 200 ideally.

Refurb, but with 2yr Dyson warranty - £115

£130

Google Shopping

We've had our Dyson Motorhead nearly 10 years now and we had it repaired once under warranty, and paid the flat £70 for a full service with replacement parts once. When it goes next time we'll replace it, but it was worth repairing as it was expensive as we had specific requirements and it did the job perfectly.

Chances are if it's an old dyson, it won't be as good as the new ones, and for £35 extra, i'd go new.

Saying that, thanks to everyone. I think I have a good idea what to get now

Using them.

A Dyson that lasts a few years and is average performance at best Vs a Kirby that will outlive it's owner and is superior in every way. Not a hard choice to make.

I won't buy a Kirby out of principal. My ex got a job as a door to door sales woman with Kirby, basically she was told on her induction to get yourself in their house, then hound them till they buy one! Old people were best, as they give in quickly. Their tatic was to state a initial high price, then keep dropping, until they give in. The more you sell them for , the more commision. Think they were on watchdog too. The ex walked out on the first day.

'It doesn't lose suction'!!! No not unless you wash, clean and slowly dry the motor's sponge filter every 3 hours. Much more often if used to hoover, err, dust!!!! Absolute CON!!! D

All I can suggest is, don't take your Dyson to the building site with you

my old DC01 that i was given years back is falling apart.

it will be getting replaced with a henry when the final thing falls off it (should be soon, used 3 tubes of epoxy resin on it so far LOL)

the henrys we use at work get abused to death and so far in 4 years i have had to replace the on off switch once, and change the motors about once per year (they get used for 8 hours solid most days of the year so not to shabby)
