They are from a country where vacuum cleaners are not used. So they hadn't used one before being in the UK. Fortunately the vacuum that we have is a Henry and not a Dyson so it is as resilient to abuse as they come. So it was not damaged by the water, just smelt incredibly bad. But me and another flatmate cleaned it out (Since the electric bit lifts off the top) with laundry powder and water so it should be good now.
what's wrong with dyson? i've had a DC14 (the purple one, Pre-ball models) since it was the new model and it works perfectly, still the only vacuum that has ever survived my family, and not only survived, but still works like new
Welp, today I fly out to Barcelona. Arrive at Gatwick at 11, Depart at 2, Arrive in El Prat at 5, Arrive in apartment at about 6. --- Post updated --- I also have one of those, works brilliantly, even with masses of pet hair.
We've killed multiple dysons. Only replaced thanks to a decent warranty scheme. Now have a Henry and it won't die
We have a Dyson at home, the plastic is cracked on the handles since they can't carry the weight of the cleaner. Other than that it is pretty solid. However my point was that if it sucked up water I am not sure it would cope so well. However the Henry in this flat is pretty damn bullet proof. Its a well known and tested design, its insanely practical, only the black top bit has electronics in it meaning you can shove the rest of it in the sink, plus since the entire red area is storage they don't need emptying very often, like a Dyson it doesn't need bags and it does a fairly good job of cleaning too. The plastic that they are made of is very thick and robust and the cable winding system is miles better than Dyson's wrap it around some hooks on the back system. Generally it seems to be a staple of the cleaning industry too. A Dyson is also about 5x the price (based on the current DC40). Plus it has a face on it.
Having had 3 Dyson vacuums, I can surely say that Dyson is the Apple of vacuum cleaners. Overpriced fashion statements (but damn do I want another one).
This is funny. My mother owns a ball model as well. It's a bit confusing to figure out but it works fine. Feels flimsy as hell tho the plastic bits are rubbish. She does handle lIke a dream tho. She wont own another Dyson either.
To their credit the Dyson's do tend to suck harder (in a good way [but not that good way...]) than other brands. The Dyson hand driers are also pretty much the only ones that work. As a brand they tend to come up with very complex solutions to problems, they are often better in some aspect, but generally at the detriment to cost and robustness. For example I don't think I have ever seen one of their desk fans working when on display in electronics stores, they always seem to be broken, similar to how the beats headphones tend to have bits hanging off them, although it probably does have more to do with the kids they tend to attract. Although on the other hand I have yet to see a broken air blade hand dryer.
Depends on how you use vacuum cleaners. I've had an empty fire extinguisher mounted in the 06 for well over a year now. I just moved it over to the 07 because I'm selling the 06. An empty fire extinguisher does me no good, but I haven't been able to find a place to get it recharged.
alot arent rated for refill --- Post updated --- aye but a henry is a specific brand here too, we do have generic "shopvacs", but the henry is still the tried and trusted unbreakable brand. We actually have a hetty at home now. Its a henry. But its pink. She swallows.
Nah, it's pretty heavy duty. Sheriff doesn't fuck around with the pussy plastic ones, head is completely metal. Speaking of the Sheriff's Office, I figured it was somewhat imperative to share this.
Shop Vac is a brand as well, it's the most common, and, AFAIK, most reliable brand on this side of the Atlantic.
They didn't get us for anything. They were convinced they had just interrupted a drug deal though. Tried so hard to find any scrap of anything to fuck our lives up with. The dog came out as soon as they got an opportunity. When the searches yielded nothing they told us to leave and drove off. I'm not mad at the cops. Cops will be cops. The war on drugs as a whole is what I have beef with. Whoever called, though, can suck a fucking dick. The rest of this wasn't really necessary.
I feel your pain. I had to swallow a gram of some of the best wax I'd ever had because some cops thought they'd get lucky and pull me over for nothing on my way to CT. Didn't even try to search me. The best part, I had just done a 30 mile stretch of hi way in 15 minutes with 2 other Subarus I randomly encountered. Where were you when I was shifting into fifth at 120? Just off the hiway waiting to pull me over for "crossing the yellow lines". In all honesty I should get more trouble from the police given the car i drive isn't exactly low key. Fuck it.
