DC01 Bin Find
« on: June 20, 2015, 07:48:54 pm »
Well found a DC01 at the tip today. the plug was cut off it, so i got my spare DC04 cable and modded it to work with the DC01. the kick plate was clogged, so i removed all the hair that was stuck and emptied the bin and gave it a test run. and it ran beautifully. now i have two DC01'S. What would you guys do take it apart and put the original bits on our old hoover or keep it intact and clean it all up.  :thumbsup:

Yes!!! That is a late model and very good, lovely YDK motor in that and wihth the yellow serial number sticker being yellow etc too :P I had an Irish Dc01 like that, needed a new switch and worked lovely!.
 ;D
That DC01 is very good, it's in good condition as most late model Dc01's are (I really don't know why late DC01's are normally in fab condition lol)

I like this hoover. But there is one part I hate. That's the sole plate. It's crap gets clogged alot (such as my nans dc01). And the adjustable head (I think). It wr
eks the suction compared to the (DA001 soleplate) ;D

Lol, not the best really, they always break but they have improved over the years :)  it's a great vacuum, shame that the suction is only 90 AW but then again it's pretty good for what it is

Its the general un-fadedness and non scabby stickers that do it for me! Even if it needed a new motor and brushroll it would still be worth restoring,  you just dont see the casings that clean anymore,  early or late ones!
