Hi guys I've been doing a few dc01's recently. You can pick a complete one up in my region for around a fiver off ebay. I normally resell them for 25 quid after a refurb as they only take me roughly an hour and a half to do a full strip down.

Just recently ive noticed that they are selling them selves without really having to over advertise them or include a 500 word essay as of to why you should but it. I used to break them for spares but I refurbish them again as they sell so easily.

Has anyone else noticed this, the ydk ones are pretty good for a vacuum of nearly 20 years old. The amtek motors seem to last longer but the suction is quite dire. This is an example. I paid £5 for it and sold it for £25 this afternoon. All it needed was a set of wheels as the others had play in them from wear. It also had a quite recent wand and hose fitted also a new power cable when I collected it.

The lady has just collected it, I think it will make someone a good machine for another few years. It's always nice to think one has been saved from the crusher and put back onto the carpets.

I have kept one for myself and put it into daily use.

Yes it is the old faithful dinosaur, they last ages but shame the soleplate sand power cables ruin it

yes same with DC04's too

p.s my dyson dc01 has 1300W and a amtek motor

it make you think why dyson stopped making them are they almost indestructible

I keep buying job lots of dc01 and all the dc01's and dc03 in the pics work fine with most been blocked

both job lot's were dirt cheap

I made the best profit ever over 3 time what I payed
