I purchased this in 2003 and have washed the pre motor filter monthly over that time . The vacuun suck only dropped off during the last month Jan 2011.
I replaced the pre motor filter and followed online instructions to dismantle and wash the radix assembly. This greatly improved things . I then replaced the post motor filter which resulted in a further marked improvement.
It is now as good as new. The servicing has saved me a bomb in not having to replace the machine.
Dyson ought to be more upfront about basic routine servicing.
