AIBU to say my Dyson is a Cunt?

[RanchRat]

in a year I have only been able to use it a handful of times. It stops working after a couple of minutes and I have to pull a piece of fluff out of its arse before it will go again. I have never been able to do more than half a rug before it needs emptying and the fucking clips that are supposed to be so easy to open are actually very stiff and I have to lie the dirty bastard on my clean sofa to get them open. I have spent more time watching You Tube videos on how to coax the little fucker to work than I have vacuuming. You have to wash the filter, no, you have to replace the filter, no, you have to tweeze a couple of hairs out of its backside. I bought it because it was light and I am old and struggled with my heavy hoover. The worst £500 I have ever spent and could ill afford.

LOVE mine. Yours is either a fake or an unusual glitchy one. Contact Dyson. They’ll come to your home and sort it out for you.

Dyson PR klaxon 😄

I like this thread

I dont own a Dyson and never have because I didnt fall for the marketing and did my research, sorry OP

But what I would say is that like the other thread recently about washing machine cycle times and eco this or that on equipment or just rubbish equipment, they are invented and tested mainly by men, by and large. Not by the average householder with a myriad of stuff in the house and actual working experience of the things.

We need a thread about household appliances and their little foibles and things that are rubbish about them

Another thread recently the OP was asking about a particular airfryer she had seen which was on special offer. I had a quick browse, turned out from the reviews that this all singing all dancing 3 drawer airfryer had a major draw back, when you open one of the drawers to check on the cooking or shake about, it stops the cooking in all the other drawers. I mean WTF???!!!

This sort of crap, I mean who came up with that?

Amazing number of fakes and glitchy ones on this thread. Does 'Sir' James do the house visits himself?

I love my Miele cat & dog (have both) and I have a shark cordless.

The Shark is a little more temperamental but we rub along ok together, apart from when it keels over like a drunk teenager 🤨

Agree. I got rid of my Dyson and bought a Shark.

We’ve had a Dyson cordless for years, it works fine. My only gripe is that they were too bloody stingy to provide a 2nd filter, when the thing is supposed to be allowed to dry away from heat for 24 hours! Not much use if it packs up (because the filter needs changing) when you’re in the middle of hoovering.

We bought a 2nd one, £12 - so why on earth they didn’t supply one as standard I have no idea.

I’m clearly a weirdo because I love my cordless Dyson. Shark couldn’t cope with 4 of us with long hair, Henry was useless on our carpets, so I went back to Dyson and I love it. We had a fault and it was 2 days after warranty ended, customer services sent us a replacement part for free anyway. I’m nothing but impressed by it and baffled by the shark love.

I LOVE my Dyson. I've had it for more than 20 years, you can easily replace parts yourself, it comes apart so easily.

I hold my hands up Soupy, I did fall for the marketing, over many years I heard how revolutionary and wonderful the Dyson was. At the time I was always saving for various DC related stuff and could not think to afford one. DC now grown up and independent and I had been salivating so long over this cunt of a vacuum cleaner I bought myself one for my 70th birthday without due diligence.
I really find it hard to credit just how bad this piece of equipment is. The sheer nerve of this fucking Dyson bloke taking our hard earned money for his plastic crap.

Blimey, check out all the Dyson devotees who’ve suddenly rocked up the morning after! 😬

Which one do you have? They're not all equal, but anything from the V11 onwards are pretty great.

“Hello posters, Dyson speaking, how may we redeem ourselves…”

Mine is a cunty Dyson Detect Absolute V15 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with extra cuntyness.

For the avoidance on doubt, I’m definitely not Dyson. I’m Blake Carrington and vacuuming happens to other people.

I’ve had a few shitty Dysons over the years but I have to say I am utterly in love with my cordless V11. You have to occasionally remove bits of debris that are blocking things but in all honesty, I quite like doing that. Am I weird?

Dyson vacuums are awful, we’ve now got a Miele cat and dog and it’s amazing despite the abuse it gets. (We also had a Shark, it was fine but didn’t last)
I’ve a Dyson hairdryer, overpriced but I love it.
I don’t have a cordless vacuum but I’m in the market for one. It won’t be a Dyson.

Such great memories
Krystal v Alexis.
the gorgeous John James. I could go on.

I miss my old Dyson. My stupid Shark is a cloggy fucker

I have just one thing to say to you @NewAgeNewMe:

DEX DEXTER!! Mmmmmmmm.

Anyway, back to hoovering….

My Dyson must be about 12 years old, when I had a problem with the roller unit I phoned them to ask about costs and was told 'Lucky you, your 5 years warranty runs out in 3 days!', sent me a replacement, no problem. Personally I like it and it has a good capacity.

Oh, sorry dear, is one not allowed to hold a contrary opinion?

That’s alright sweet-cheeks, be my guest.

I beg to differ Dexter never did it for me but oh my Jeff…. Too good for that Fallon!

Oh utter shite. I swear ours blew out air rather than sucking. Biggest waste of money ever.
