dc27 surprise
« on: March 11, 2016, 05:06:46 pm »
I hate the dc27, in fact I would say the only good thing about it is that once striped the chaise will stand up on its own.

So the last time I bought a job lot I wast to pleased it included 4 dead dc27s.  I stripped one today and had a plesant surprise, the motor wasn't  dead, but I bet when this went the person using it had a heart flutter.

But then seeing this, I think they deserved it.

How the heck do people do that :o

I never played with a DC27

I was told they clean better than DC33's- Do they?
