Hi all, does anyone know where I can get spare parts for a dyson DC07 vacuum cleaner ? I need to get a new hose section.
Thanks

Sounds about right, I once needed a part and went there to get it. Can't remember the reason now, but I was unable to make payment at that point in time, and the lovely gentleman said I could just take it first, and make payment another time.
Item value was about $70 I think. It took me 7 months to get round to doing it!
Wonder if he's still there.

I'm guessing he lost his job.

I'll give you $100 if it's in perfect condition with all paperwork. And I'm being generous.

I'd consider $100 for it too, depends on the model, condition and paperwork.

Why does every local assume that they can buy things and resell them for more? I don't get that. Generally old things
depreciate... I think gahmen's lessons about people monetizing their HDBs has been interpreted the wrong way

I had an ex-girlfriend that I nicknamed Dyson - not because she gave great blowjobs, but rather because she used to suck up every last pound I earned....

Judging by experience on places like hardwarezone's marketplace, I assume he was marking it up. You know, like the guys selling iPhone 4s for $200 more when Singtel has plenty of stock

You know why Dyson is becoming very crappy. ? it is made in Senai, Johor, Malaysia by a sub con mfg named VS Industry. The worse is all of their workers come from Bangladesh

Dyson makes some of the best hoovers (yeah, I know this word is a separate brand...) out there, so I wouldn't call them crappy, that's for sure.
Their fan does look like an expensive gimmick though.

Yeah, Rainbow does as well, but neither are worth the money being charged.

Is the Rainbow still around?
Now that was an expensive appliance... and the marketing bs that came with it was just funny, like "technology used in jet engines". Yeah, right...

Dyson vacuum

First post
Anyone using a Dyson vacuum? Would like to hear from you on its performance and durability?
Last post
Have a Dyson V11. It’s perfectly good - but we’ve got our eyes on a xiaomi robo vacuum just because why not?
What’s the electronic mop? That sounds...
