Dyson Spares...

[ummmm]

The rubber belt has gone on my Dyson. They sell them on their site but I begrudge paying £3 p+p for what is nothing more than a rubber band.

Does anyone know if ordinary repair shops sell Dyson spares or do 'have' to buy them from Dyson?

[Frank97]

I've bought Dyson belts before from a shop in town, no problem.

[venator]

The most economical repair to a Dyson is to scrap it and buy a Sebo...

[Frank97]

I mean belts to fit a Dyson, they weren't made by Dyson.

[ummmm]

This one isn't old enough to justify buying a new one...especially when the belt costs just over £5

Cheers D9...I take a drive to the nearest one tomorrow.

A[pologies for flippancy - just been on the Updated Site Rules thread - bends your mind!

These look cheap -

Seriously, though, we've had a Sebo for 10 years and it has never given any trouble. It's far more powerful than Dyson, having 2 separate motors for the suction and the brushes. And it has no belts...

[ummmm]

That's okay :-)

I think I'll invest in a new hoover when my sons have learnt not to hoover up screws!!!

The Dyson ball is tempting. The upright, which I have, is just too bulky and heavy.

[ummmm]

Sebo looks cool...

[venator]

That's where the Sebo falls down, then - it weighs a ton!

[venator]

If Mercedes made a vacuum cleaner....

[ummmm]

Do they have long hoses and cords? With the dyson the hose is long enough to do top to bottom.

[venator]

We bought an industrial version, which has an extraordinarily long cord. The extension hose will reach from top to bottom of the stairs.

[ummmm]

Good...I'll look into those then. Might have to do a bit of flirting, wear low cut tops, and drop lots of hints :-)

This is the model - hope the Amazon link works

Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

[ummmm]

It says 'lightweight' lol

[venator]

The thing on the front is a short hose for the crevice nozzle or extension hose. The suction automatically transfers to it when you take hold of it.

[venator]

Yes, it says 8 kilograms, but ours must be the solid concrete model. All the best if you get one!

[Hopkirk]

I love our Dyson.

It must be 15 years old, and has never given a problem.

I wouldn't want Subo in my house anyway.

[ummmm]

Do you have kids that hoover up screws, hopkirk?

[ELVIS68]

I use espares quite a lot and reccomend them

[Smowball]

My friend has a Sebo and if you have a bad back don't even consider buying one - they weigh an absolute ton!
