This is honestly just a bit of a rant as my Dyson V10 has broken again…. This is what has broken in the last year:

  • trigger guard snapped
  • battery died
  • head pivot broken
  • empty-mechanism snapped
  • filter showing clogged after cleaning, needed a new filter.

Every replacement is exorbitantly expensive, and requires as complicated replacement procedure as possible. A battery that consists of seven 18650 cells which should cost ~£20 to replace is £90! You can’t replace the cells as the unit is plastic welded together.

You know what isn’t broken and has never broken; my 40 year old Sebo which is now been promoted from ‘upstairs vacuum’ to ‘primary vacuum’

    That totally makes a huge difference…I was really disappointing thinking…“man my plastic is brittle, but now they break every 8 months.”
