I recenlty got a dyson dc41 animal for dirt cheap, only $150. its not perfect though, i think it was left in storage for a few years because the motor bearings in it are very dry. i couldnt find any info on the internet about how to replace the motor or service it, not surprising though because this is such a new vacuum. Any one know any info on how to replace the motor? i was going to just try and fix it but a used motor is only $40, so it would probably be cheaper just buying one.
