General Comments

I have had this for almost 10 years. I bought the special 'Antartic' edition - only difference was the colour of grey and blue.

It has never gone wrong, and always worked at full power. We accidentally sucked up the power cable which led to a few nicks and it stopped working. Luckily this was within a metre or two of the plug, so I cut the cable and reattached the plug and all works well - albeit 2m shorter....

I love the design of the Dyson DC01, and the constant full power and the ease at which the bin is emptied.

After all this time, the plastic trim across the front has now snapped - caught it on something. Looking at the parts website it can be replaced for £23. Because of its age, I am considering buying a new one and relegating this one to the garage to do minor work, mostly with the hose.

I would recommend it, and I am definitely going to buy another. At £200 or so for over 10 years use, I think this was great value for money. People I know have bought 2 or 3 other brand cleaners in this time and most have now switched to Dyson.

Shame it's not made here anymore, but at least the design is/was British.
