General Comments

We started off getting the original Dyson DC01. That was the most awful vacuum cleaner that anybody could surely ever get! Then we noticed that everybody that we knew were getting DC04s. We decided, then, to get one for ourselves to see what it was like.

It seemed so brilliant!-
>Powerful brushbar
>Strong suction
>Easy to empty

Then the trouble started - the wires kept detaching from their sockets within the switch, and about once every other month we had to pay £20 for our local electrician to re-fit the cable, every time making it at least 2 inches smaller. At the rate the cable was disappearing we were astonished! In the end we gave up on it.

The cleaner, though, is good; it was just that one problem that let it down.

The HEPA filters are superb. The absolute filter is great at fighting germs and bacteria, although it may not seem like it.

I wish the Hoover could maybe be a bit more flexible, however - but not as flexible as the new Dyson Ball cleaners..COMPLETE ODDNESS!
