What's wrong with my Hoover?

[Silverfrock]

We bought a dyson (dc23) four years ago and for the last year or so, everytime we Hoover the house, the air smells and feels horribly dusty to the point that I feel I can't breathe with a mild reaction. We repeatedly wash the filter but to no avail. Life has been hectic to say the least which is why we haven't dealt with it yet .

Is it time to buy a new one? Do all dysons become like that after a couple of years?

What Hoover under £100 can I buy that will serve us better in the long run? Tia

I could recommend my Henry.

Lettuce, any Henry? Are there different models? Thanks.

The red one. I dumped my Dyson years ago. You can get a smell after a time with a Henry but I put a little fragrance on a piece of kitchen roll inside the bag and it takes the smell away.

Have you washed all the filters ,most have more than one so perhaps there is one you've missed. Eventually the filters do need replacing . That said I can recommend Morphy Richards uprights ,they vary in price but are under £150 generally and are fantastic ,much better than Dysons ( I have a vacuum collection )

Floral, really? The MR sounds good as its upright. I have to steep lights of stairs to vacuum so that would be good. Which mr model?

Two staircases to vacuum.

Have a look on QVC they do one with very good reviews ,mine is a lift away type (like model no 73145) ,we were so impressed my mum also swopped from Dyson . The only Dyson I like is the cordless one .

Have you washed your filters? I hadn't washed mine in a while (maybe over a year) I washed them let it dry over night on the radiator and next day put it back in, I also washed the tube thing that dust collects in put it all back together and it was like a brand new Hoover suction was fabby

Wee, ok I need to check the tube thingy then......

Yeah loads of shit came out pipes too worth checking and cleaning before buying a new one

Have a s earch on youtube for "service (you model) dyson" there is loads of videos on how to do it, and they come out like new hoovers. You may need a triangle tip or tri-wing screwdriver though, so be sure to look into what one you need before starting

have you got a dog?
