I was shocked, it is at the back of someone's house in a car park.
It's been completely stripped down, no cleaner head, no cyclone, no pre motor filter, no plug, but it still had a broken wand attatched. God knows how long it's been there!
I didn't think it was worth taking it home with me though.
Can you guess what it is?

Well it's a DC03 Dyson.

Looks like a challenge to me...

Try and get it working!

I pulled a DC04 out of a skip years ago, was underwater (was pissed walking back from the pub). Dried it out, got it running (badly) and sucked up lots of paint for reasons I can't quite remember. Did very well at it IIRC!

Found the remains of a Lux 500 thing when I was very young by my nans too I think

It really makes you wonder ...

... why people are so careless with their machines.

No one in my family does this; we care for and use stuff until it genuinely just wears out.

maybe it was a lemon?

On the other hand, perhaps the Dyson was a lemon, and the frustrated owner was at wits end when he tossed it to the curb.

The only issue I have is with the careless disposal of the cleaner. As to what people do with goods they buy out of their own money, that's up to them. It's no business of anyone else.

My DC03 got battered and was broken every where apart from the motor, wheels, bin insert and the cleaner head window, they were the only good parts left that were usable!
