just keeps going no matter what it pickes up

i have had my Dyson dc01 for 15 years and it just wont stop working :)
sure its old and out of date but that doesn't mean that it is a bad vacuum. i must say when they came out they where a little pricy but i guess you get what you pay for :P
they just don't want to die. most people change the belt and say they perform better but i have never had to replace a belt and i can say it works wonderful, they are good old made in England wonders that work better than modern vacuums with out the hassle.
the only problem i have had now its 15 is the suction is slowing down most of the bigger things i vacuum up sadly get stuck in the blockage inspection flap but i bet if i put a new motor in it would fine just like new.
the hose makes cleaning the stairs or corners or anywhere like cars etc easy than out old vacuum which back then would probably be a hoover junior.
Dyson even give you a nice little selection of tools which store on the side of the vacuum but me being me i miss placed one of the tools but managed to find a cheap replacement due to the age of the vacuum now.
just don't expect it to last forever because now for some reason Dyson decided to stop making parts for this work horse vacuum
