Modern appliances do not seem designed to last and depending on batteries makes it worse as those are likely to fail. Things are not easy to fix either. I think Dyson at least make a lot of spares available, but then you pay the premium. We bought a Dualit toaster recently in hope it will last forever as you can buy spare elements and other parts. It's made in the UK too.
Happy Friday!

I'd happily buy a Dyson in the UK for exactly those reasons but here they are double the price! This clone is quite a big name in SE Asia and I was really happy with it. Easy to get replacement brushes, filters etc. But I paid about £130 for it so having to buy another battery costing £75 which might pack-up again in a few months is not happening. Screw drivers and multimeter will be out at the weekend or failing that, I'll bodge something but the voltage is a bizarre 29.6 volts!
I will buy a Dyson in UK if I can get home for Christmas.
As for Dualit, I gave mine to my brother when I left 10 years ago. I'd had it 10 years and it's still going strong. Quality is worth paying for if possible.
Have a great weekend Steve :-)

BEER.I think Dyson moved most stuff to the Far East now. I've gone off them for Mr Dyson's attitude to this country. We do have a Henry vacuum which is made here, but I think we may get a battery one of some sort. They just seem convenient. I quite like the idea of a robot one, but will have to look into the options.
Cheers and !BEER
