Nice find! Even if you wanted to clean it up and sell it on, you'd make a profit. I picked up a DC05 recently (pic below) for £12 in a local junk shop. It was missing the handle grip, the on switch and was filthy. I bought a generic replacement handle and switch - £8 for both, and some new filters for £4. Gave it a damn good cleaner, put the hose, cyclone assembly and dust bin through the dishwasher and I sold it on ebay for £63, plus postage.
I've never got on with Dysons. I'm highly allergic to dust and emptying them would always trigger a reaction, although not half as bad as the low efficiency direct cyclones. I once emptied my sisters Vax Swift when she had and it brushed the filter down and spent the next day sneezing and with streaming eyes. I've also found carpet performance to be pretty substandard, especially compared with other cleaners in the same price range. They handle surface litter well, but deep cleaning performance is near minimal - see below link for an agitation test.
Of the 5 Dysons that my grandparents have owned (DC01, DC04, DC07, DC15 and DC27), the DC04, I thought, was the strongest performer and it was the machine that lasted the longest. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Turbo500's LINK |

Tayyab, my Grandma barely uses the DC27 anymore, since she had all solid wood floors put in downstairs and bought a George. The Dyson is only used upstairs for a quick clean up. It's a decent performer, but it's the loudest Dyson I've ever used - it really screams. |

Now, tell me Michael, how many seconds of agitation is that? A little bit more than 3 if you can count at all, to say it only took 7 seconds to clean the carpet anyway, 6 mins out of 7 worth of bouncing cat litter, I think, is pretty good going.
Face it, Michael, the only reason you made that comment is because you don't like me and therefore refuse to acknowledge that something I like is good. This post was last edited 03/10/2013 at 17:41 |

I did ask Chris what Kirbys were made from (a while back) and he said stainless stell, which then fed back to Michael but then he later discovered they were made of alluminium. The Junior fan is more or less central, I did tell Chris that Micahel thought the Junior had single sided suction, and Chris then said it was smack bang in the middle on his U1104 Junior, which it almost is anyway.

Oh my lord, you're actually really thick, aren't you?
I didn't say that James said they were made of SS. When asked "what are Kirbys made of?" I asked James - he knows far more about them than I do (despite growing up with one), and he advised they were made of aluminium, which is what I then went back with. At no point did I proclaim that I knew what they were made out of.
Now, back on topic, if you don't mind? |
