If the part should ever give up the ghost, yes then just buy rest in peace and on the next vacuum cleaner breeders, a new Dyson puppies. I go but out of a long service life. So far, the part has only slight signs of wear in the form of small scratches. However, the muscle man does not make the impression that somewhere up or disperse. All stable and secure.
The advantages I see very clearly in the enormous and relentless suction force. Something I've never experienced. Until the end everything disappears mercilessly in greedy maw of the sucker.
In addition, the mentioned Beutellosigkeit, no müffelndes to himself more costly accessories.
Draining after each vacuuming is with two handles (1 - Loosen container unit with snap-button, 2 - collector disconnect) done in seconds.
The automatic cable rewind I had initially suspected to be a weak point, because the line is indeed fully wound, but the tension felt from the very beginning was rather low. But think, until today, the long line without mosquitoes up on completely.
Full 5 star but not I like to give, because I see this as the slightly disadvantageous:
The unit is a bit noisy
In addition, the weight is not for the thin arms. I mean I come handle it, but it may be a handicap for some delicate stringed "cleaning staff". I have appointed two stairs in the house and when I imagine, a delicate person must there always only carry up and down later Weider, slightly sweat to get there.
And a little stiff, I find the wheels already. Mr. Dyson follows mostly well-behaved on the train, and it is far away from stubborn, but sometimes you need a bit more force to pull.
I look now times if there is a Dyson fan club, and all the other times I recommend sample eye for friends and acquaintances who have a Dyson. From my side definitely a buy recommendation.
