The World's #1 Vacuum Cleaner Advice, Repair, Discussion & Information Forum
Very niceI like the DC50, a pretty good and reliable machine for a miniature thing with a load of features. My cousin and cousin in law have one like yours but in orange, it's almost 2 years old with no problems so far. They have 2 cats as well
It's flimsy, overly complicated and engineered by a madman with CAD. The replacement parts are way overpriced
QuoteIt's flimsy, overly complicated and engineered by a madman with CAD. The replacement parts are way overpricedThis applies to all dyson's from the dc33 onwards.
I think they are more reliable than the DC24, they clean better, look better etc;)
The reason why it feels flimsy i because the flexible plastic absorbs shock. For example when it's dropped, it's gonna flex rather than snap. "Solid" feeling vacuums like Vax may feel strong, but are actually not as strong as a newer Dyson ball. Drop a vax down the stairs and I can guarantee there will be some damage. If you try and bend the solid feeling plastic on a vax, it would snapDyson plastic would flex slightly. It's not about using the toughest material, it's about using the right material Hence why you see less physically broken Dysons than we did in the 1990s and 2000s
That's true, but I just think the newer ones are more smash resistant
