Our "puppy" (now full grown!) is white and long-haired and sheds fur as soon as you look at him, but the Dyson cleans up after him extremely well. Cleans hard floors equally as well as carpets - but the upright didn't do hard floors well. If you're after a cylinder, I'd go for it - if you're considering an upright, maybe it wouldn't be such a good buy. I think Dyson's have only just started taking off in Oz, which could account for the high price. :confused: |

I called the repair shop and they quoted $75 to look at it and "at least $150" to repair it, but, recommended i call Dyson to check if it was still under warranty. I called them up and gave them the serial number and it was a month past the warranty date but they said they'd honour it. I dropped it off on friday and it was fixed by yesterday and delivered back to me today. Cost $17 for a new "aussie" cable and $10 to deliver it to me 35ks out of the city. So..... the point of the story is that always check if your warrantly will be honoured on your UK purchased goods, you may save yourself a good few dollars :D The down side is i now have no excuse not to do the hoovering and the house is a tip :eek: Lynn |

Re: The Return of the Dyson
I have an old blue dyson which i have had for years and love it!! i had planned to buy a dyson in aus but know reading these threads i will buy a new one and bring it out with us. My current one has really started to fall about and would meet customs approval despite many hours of cleaning. i will just have to tell him i need a new one shame ;)

Re: The Return of the Dyson
Hi Bj and All
I had a bargain cylinder Dyson I bought from the Co-op, I emailed Dyson in Sydney and they said the warranty was covered in Oz. So I bought an 'Allergy' one cheap from Currys online (used it a couple of times so it didn't look brand new) and brought two here! Can't beat them on tiled and polished wood floors, especially with all those balls of fluff the r/c aircon creates. gd :) (By the way, I don't use them both at the same time, if you're imagining broomhandles)! |

Personally I thought it was quite funny to watch his reaction at the thought of having to do housework. Ha ha ha :D |
