Do you need anything other than a Dyson? ; )

 

Hate them. Daughter has one in Oz, the most useless machine I’ve ever had to use. Laundry tiles hit the carpet and soap powder spilled into the gap, impossible to remove with the upright one. You’ve never heard so much cursing and it’s put me off for life. 

 

I had a couple of Dyson’s in the early days when they first started back in the UK. They were flashy but expensive and unreliable, and they both broke down in a very short period of time. I guess they’ve improved a lot now, but they always seemed over-engineered to me, and the early bad experiences put me off too. The mother-in-law also had Dyson’s early attempt at making a washing machine, and when that caught fire, I became even more reluctant to buy anything by Dyson.
