Recycling an old Dyson Vacuum
POD {铱觹
bought a replacement. But I don't really want to chuck out the old one if
I can recycle it or give it to a charity who can get it repaired.
Anyone looked into this before now?

Carbon-brushes on electric motors are a consumable and repleaceable item. Do
Dyson not sell spares?

Didn't look into it, to be honest, it's 10 years old, and we felt like a
new one, and boy doesn't this new one suck like a Bangkok Ladyboy!

the deal was for �it was picked up by courier, repaired and returned a
few days later, I explained that I was a Professional contract cleaner who
had bought two to test to destruction and these two were in a sorry state
also that I could fit any parts myself, the reply was that some people even
used them to clean dog baskets!!. Well mine were picked up on a Monday and
on Thursday two spanking new machines arrived. I have been a Professional
cleaner for 40 years the Dysons are a great domestic vacuum, but for value
for money, robustness and cheap available spares look at the Numatic Henry

But does it suck? Does it heckers like, just been around the house with
my new one, which like a Dyson is a cyclone, but unlike a Dyson it is
1800W, and it has pulled up alsorts from the carpets, a revelation. But
I've worked in places that had these Henry things and I find the power
is useless.

suck up a pound of soot or plaster and they will fail, the trick with
Numatic is not to use the paper bags, just use the cloth filter and bang
it out once a week.or more if you are cleaning dense dust.
I have tested these things and comment as a pro user, I can gain tax relief
on equipment so price is not an issue, home / office yes buy a Dyson if you
like the look, but for workshop, pro , sawdust/ connecting to power tools
as extraction and anything more than dust and fluff the Numatic is the tool.
