Yes, Dyson had too many blue bits left over after the campaign ended. Hence a the DC01 grey & blue sold next to the grey & yellow model. |

Yes Alex I agree. I had a DC14 once that kept clogging itself. It was the worst dyson I have ever used!!! Also I bet it you used a DC24 or a DC50 with a clogged filter then it wouldn't last long, as I bet the motors must be really small to fit into such a small vacuum! |

The DA001 was the first Dyson I ever saw, belonging to my Aunt and Uncle. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time and tried to persuade my Mum and Dad to by one. Thank God they didn't, as just a few years later when I got to use one properly, I realised just how crap they were.
It saddens my greatly that there are people in the world who consider Dysons to be their childhood vacuum - I remember the days before Dyson existed. There were some seriously cool vacs around when I was a kid, and a huge mass of different makes and models. I really feel for anyone growing up in the bagless generation, the market seems so boring these days. |

Michael, not quite. I was at least 5 when I first heard of Dyson with the DA001 and it was another 2-3 years until they became as popular as they were. I remember the days where there were no Dysons on our street.
And no, the filters do not require the same maintenance. For example, my Mum's Panasonic was in daily use for 17 years and never once had it's filters changed. Granted, it probably could have done with being changed, but it still worked fine and for all those years. A bagless cleaner will always require far more and often messy maintenance. Incidentally, I bought a replacement pack of Panasonic filters recently for £1.95 in my local hardware shop. |

Bran New? Is that some sort of arty-farty breakfast cereal?
I know there are people on here who have learning difficulties and difficulty with spelling - I'm not trying to cause offence to anyone, but please can you try and make sure your posts make sense? Based on common internet ettiquette, the combination of capital letters and lack of punctuation sort of implies that you're shouting, very quickly. You've also posted that picture of your Dysons twice. We all saw it the first time. This post was last edited 06/04/2013 at 11:04 |

Yes Citroenbx I absolutely agree with Chris, I'll let your all capital letter/no punctuation post above stay this time, but if it happens again I will delete it.
The forum rules of Vacuumland state that you must at least try to make your posts understandable using correct grammar and spelling. Everyone makes mistakes, but posts like the one above are unacceptable. |

"I DO HAVE learning difficulties"
And I have dyslexia myself. It can be very difficult for me to write with a pen or pencil on paper, so the computer has helped me enormously, but I still make a ton of mistakes as I type. But because of this I take extra care to proof read my posts, sometimes five or more times before I hit the post button. I don't expect your posts to be perfect, mine certainly are not, but I do expect you to try extra hard if you want to post here. Posting quality is important in the new Vacuumland and having learning disabilities is not an excuse to be free from the forum rules. You just need to take your time and be extra careful. |

That may be the case, but you're on a computer. So you're either pressing shift or caps lock. The simple answer to that, is don't press that button. It's better to write in all lower case than in capitals.
The easier way to learn punctuation is to think about how you speak. Use full stops and comma's where you would normally end a sentence or take a pause. Like it says in the forum rules, you won't get on trouble for poor spelling and grammar, but you need to try and make sure your posts make sense. If you're struggling with it, ask us :). We all help each other out and as long as what you're saying is clear and makes sense, that's all that matters |
