Andy, What a mess! Were you able to clean the motor and the fans as well? I have never seen a Dyson taken that far apart. Many vacuum have entered my collection or been saved so that I can give them to folks that really need a good vacuum. Simple repairs of basic cleaning and they are back to good running condition. Perhaps a new brushroll, belt, bag and filter and they are ready to serve once again. Are you going to show us pictures of the complete project once put back together? Morgan |

Andy, Great Job! I am not a fan of any bagless machine. I was surprised that Dyson did not make a better hit in the last consumer reports. The bagged machines all did better. Dyson brags so on pet hair cleaning and that was one of their weaker points in this last issue. Of course, Kirby scored high not only in the cleaning end, but in the repair side as well. Morgan |

Andy, You did a great job restoring that Dyson. As for not liking to work on them you will probably get plenty of them to fix. |

I got a shark which is better than Dyson. I dissambled it and use a power washer. It cleaned up nicely.
I've cleaned dysons before mine looked very similar. The brush roll look like a hair brush. I cleaned it up it looked brand new. The cyclone filters clog easily. When I was done it had serious power. I will knock them but they have strong suction. I do like sharks better as they are built better. I notice every Dyson is cracked or missing a piece and sharks have all the pieces. Sharks are easier to maintain and they don't clog like dysons. I will say I think the Dyson had more airflow than any shark but it would be short lived as a cuclone tube would clog. Les |
