I remember going to the local waste dump about two or so years after the Dyson vacuum cleaner came out and seeing a shit ton of them in a shipping container. As I was throwing my rubbish away I asked a worker why and got the reply that a specific part inside always breaks so they put them all together and a company collects them to fix up as resell.
Which was a good thing to do, but I left there thinking, “yeah I’m not ever buying a Dyson anything.”
I’ve not followed the company but it does seem that every time they bring out a product all they’ve done is reinvent the wheel and then marketed the shit out of it.
I wasn’t a big fan of my wife proposing that expensive of a vacuum but ours has lasted longer than I thought it would. I believe we are on year 12 now and I’ve had to replace two parts (both were pretty cheap and easily found online).
We bought a Shark one when we moved and needed something and as impressive as the shark is, the Dyson can always find stuff it’s missed.
Here’s a pretty interesting vid on it. TL;DW Its a capacitor next to the motor that easily overheats and breaks. I hope whatever company it is repairing them also installs a better cap.
I did read somewhere that it was a plastic impeller type thing that would break due to the speed, not a capacitor. Though both can be true. Either way, thanks.
Remember losing all interest in the entire Dyson company when I realised this myself.

Interesting.

Yea they probably have multiple issues, considering these tend to be designed form over function so durability is likely sacrifced in many areas
