This article first appeared at Manchester Vacs. Some may have noticed already that the cost of genuine Dyson spares has just massively increased. Some parts have gone up over 100%. It seems to be right across the board. It won’t have filtered through to every sales platform as yet, because people are sat on stock […]
The Dyson DC04 is one of the classic Dyson models of vacuum cleaner dating from the late-nineties that is what we call the Ford Transit of Dysons: It does everything you want it to, and doesn’t break down very often if you do simple maintenance. It does what it says on the tin. Decade after […]
This article first appeared at Manchester Vacs. Sebo versus Dyson? It’s a big question and one that is popping up more and more.

Dyson have traditionally made tool fitment difficult. For example, the DC15 had a set of tools all of its own. They fitted no other model. The DC19 had a possibility of two totally different types of tool socket; fitment depending on if it is a telescopic wrap or not. That causes parts sellers a world […]
Don’t you just hate it when a simple solution to an old problem falls in your lap, and then you find out it was there all along and you never noticed? That is what happened today. A good customer of mine wanted a mini turbine tool for his DC07, and was complaining that the well-regarded […]
Dyson turbine heads (sometimes called turbo heads) are the full size vacuum-driven heads that come with many models of cylinder or canister Dyson vacuum cleaners. They are designed to replicate the beater bar action of a conventional upright vacuum cleaner by utlising a rotating brush on the carpet to dislodge dirt. You can buy them […]
It seems Sir James Dyson has a son, Jake Dyson. Never heard of him? No, me neither. But it seems he is a lighting designer with some products already on the market.
