Same could be said why in the 80's you saw more escorts in a local scrap yard than fiat's doesn't necessarily mean one better than
the other, could just be that lot more Dyson's sold and eventually scrapped. We had our Dyson 14+ years generally when think its getting beyond
its best just need a good clean up of filters and good as new again

As others have said above, send it to Dyson. For your £75 they will repair any Dyson, including the parts. If it can not be repaired, they will send
you a replacement. There is no good reason to see them thrown away as they are always repairable!

I've got an original Dyson DC01 which I bought back in 1998 and it's still going strong..........

We had an original DC01 for many years and it provided absolutely stirling service. However the motor finally went bang and since we then had a very
fluffy cat in the house my wife went for a newer (at the time) Dyson, the DC33 'Animal'. Unfortunately it's not a patch on the
original. It works adequately well in terms of dirt/dust removal but it's heavier, noisier and worst of all the "flexible" pipe for
doing the stairs etc. is just beyond a joke - it is so stiff that it's basically unusable, and unsurprisingly the pipe split at the end after
very little use.
Unless the newer ones have reverted the the durability and usability of the original, then we won't be getting another.
The only good thing about the 'Animal' was the vacuum powered brush attachment that came with it. I made an adapter to fit this to my
shop vac (an old, beaten up Earlex Wet and Dry vac) and it's brilliant for cleaning car carpets.
