I inherited my Nan’s Dyson DC25 when she went to live in a care home. Used it a few times and it was fine, but figured I’d strip it down and give it a damn good clean out.
The fucking thing damn near sucked up my carpet.
It’s still going strong now. Had to replace the little nubbin that drives the brush bar a few weeks ago, but other than that it’s still solid. Not bad for a 15 year old vacuum cleaner made to modern standards.
