Hi, I thought I would post a short Thread about my Dyson DC04 De Stijl. I really like it, especially because it's a clutched upright which really suits me as nearly all of the ground floor in my house it tiled. I will go into more detail in a video I'll make on my YouTube channel (TomVacuum). One more thing, I have it's box (see in pics) is it rare?

Its certainly rare to have the box, yes. Shame about the wand, nice ones of those are getting scarce.
What I do need if anyone has one, is a red and purple stair tool in good condition. If anyone has one, do let me know and I'll either buy it from you or swap you something Dyson that you need. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ManchesterVacs's LINK

Dysonboy, we get a lot of the DC41's in for repair, and to be honest, I think they are dreadful. The cleanerheads use the same motor as the DC25, but they have a design fault in that the middle wheel comes out, the housing wears and the head glues itself to the floor. The only remedy is a new cleaner head or service assembly. We have refurbed some DC41's as well, and the build quality is terrible. Its built in obsolescence all the way. DC39's not seen too many yet but I gather they have an issue with the steering mechanism. The later stuff doesnt impress me much to be honest.
Tom, great video! I'll post it up on the topic on our site if I may.
As it goes, before I saw your video, I just bought a job lot of stuff on eBay I didn't really want only to get the tool I did want. Isn't it always the way? I'd still like to have that one of your though if you don't need it? Is there anything you need for a Dyson in exchange we might have? |

Blakage, I'm glad you're not caught in Dyson's hype. You're correct that those videos are worthless, those Dysons will never survive household use.
Dysons have been trash since the DC06. I don't care if those problems were 'fixed' (and by fixed I mean redesigned, there's no fixing in the Dyson world) in 1981 or 2011, the design was terrible before and after said 'fix'. |

In the 3rd picture the back of the box looks faded and washed out but it's not. Just the sun was really strong through the window. |

Since I'm not paying attention to this I want to ask or say since all the issues have been corrected in the latest model, then there should be no others coming into production anymore right? Dyson has figured everything out, fixed all the majour problems that been plaguing all models up until this one and will be producing this one until infinity?? That's what this whole thing sounds like to me. So there should be no further discussion on the matter. Now if a new model comes out well then it's all a bunch of bunk since all the new improvements have already been done. Funny how everything else has changed but dirt has yet still remained the same & how it gets into the home, car & everywhere & we still have problems on how to extract it..

De Stijl models have a beautiful colour scheme. |
