Another Dyson to add to the collection, the Dyson DC21 Motorhead to go with it's slightly bigger brother the DC23. This model was rather smelly and damp when I got it, but soon it will be clean and shiny like a new pin.
Thank you for this Dyson demonstration, Roger. I think the plastic “nub” on the hose is meant to prevent the user from pulling too much hose into the wand and perhaps damaging it. It’s like a stopper that makes sure the hose is stretched to the proper position when extending the wand all the way. The hose must anchor to the innermost tube and is pulled into the contraption when you extend the wand. The DC23 must be bigger because it has many more cyclones....methinks.
That is bloody shocking! I'm shocked and I'm only at the part where you've found the cyclone water! The magic refurb hammer is here and waiting, that'll be a piece of cake as it's a dc08 with some extra electricity (although I probably can't stick the hose through the machine)
The vacuums I’m hoping to send you to refurb need your polishing skills. Most of the Dyson’s I’ve got will just be dismantled and rebuilt using new parts. How do you wash the hoses in your washing machine. Do you put something else in the drum to protect the washer and hoses or just put them in on their own. I plan to wash a load of hoses in my Hoover washer before I put my AEG back.
1. Joint is swivel 2. The "missing" part on the bin is normal and for seal removal 3. Power house can be cleaned. Just tape off the electrical connector on both ends. I used tuck tape.
You can fully disassemble the vacuum for deep clean. I just did that to my second hand dc21 that was filled with dog hair, smell, sand and white powdery crusted dust. Now it's like new. So it's doable.
When my cousins Dyson needs cleaning I soak the cylinder, pipe and filter in the bath with hot water and washing powder swill it all out and spin the filter in the washer on fast spin
I have thrown better away but it will look nice once your have cleaned it I refurbish dysons all the time every thing gets striped cleaned and dry new motor and filter in most of my vacuums and quite cheap too
I am slowly getting the parts bit by bit for all the used Dysons I've bought, so I may try and make a video of dismantling them and reassembling with all the new parts.
the bin isn't broken its shaped like that so it can fit over the dirt inlet i have the currys exclusive one which i use in the garden and for when i dont want to get my Henry dirty . i apologize after watching it again it is broken but at first glance it appeared part of the design
I’m still not sure if it was broken or part of the design as it has a rough edge to it so part of it may have broken off. I will check it again once it is out of storage to refurb.
ah i see by the way have you ever heard or Blomberg its a supposed German company had an emergency with our Electrolux fridge today wont stay closed because the hinge has broken so the door springs open i have barricaded it with my Sebo that did the trick only thing was i needed a fridge asap so my local electrical store talked me into a Blomberg will be fitted by 3pm tomorrow so that is good service.
yes that was my worry however they have good feedback on reevoo and my electrolux under counter fridge lasted nearly 11 years so cant complain apart from the fact its been getting very cold at the bottom and warm at the top lately my cucumbers have been very stiff which normally id be happy about a stiff cucumber infront of me however in this context im not anyway im relatively confident that it should be alright comes with a 5 year guarantee so gives an estimation to its longevity
Similar design to my dc08 but mine is extremely used let’s just say that the people in my house don’t care about it an smash it into things but we do clean the filter and it’s still working to this day
Hi Roger, My 2 1/2 year old son Albert is obsessed with vacuums and your videos. I was wondering if you give give him a shout out in one of your videos? We live in Sydney, Australia. We have an older Wertheim model 3030T made in Slovenia. It's black and grey and has lasted quite well over the years in case you've ever done a review of that vacuum. Albert now plays with it every day while watching your reviews. He also has a toy Dyson which he loves. Thanks for all the video's they are great. Regards, Matt.
I can’t do individual shoutouts anymore because I get too many requests, but I plan to do a shoutout video soon for people that request them. Look out for a video asking people if they want a shoutout and comment under that and I will say hello to Albert. I had one Wertheim vacuum but they are not common in the UK and I think they have stopped selling that brand here now.
Very true. If not I'd be happy with a Hoover or Eureka canister. Better yet Electrolux makes similar machines that are lightweight and bagless for everyday cleaning.
i got one refurb the one my mom got was like 300$ its a dc25 all floors it was sold under refurbed by seller it was clean it had a new brush ect the bin had been washed but not dryed so it stunk of mold and the filters needed replaced i will never buy a refurbed dyson
