A neighbour has a Dyson, because she couldn't be bothered with a corded model. It last two and a bit years and the battery died. So she went to Harvey Norman for an explanation, got the bums rush, and went off to Dyson itself where she was greeted with open arms. She ended up handing over her vac, buying a new one, at a 10% discount, proudly bringing it home, convinced she had a great deal.
The punchline being she has fully subsidised home help so rarely if ever uses her vac, and lives in the same sized tiny flat that I do, albeit one with a lot less floor space (she is a 'collector', lol). A cheap one from a Briscoe's sale would really be so much more sensible. But hey, we love our vacs. My big black fancy German made black corded one is a pleasure to use. And it replaced the cheap little red Kambrook one from Briscoe's - which I passed on to a friend who continues to use it happily four years later.
And thinking back, my grandmother and my Mum always swore by Electroluxes...
A woman and her vac. It is a wonderful thing...
