@azgal   Must disagree with repairman...I've had my Dyson cordless for 6 yrs and it's still going strong.  I use it almost every day.  Love my Dyson.

animal DC59 bought in 2014

There are after-market batteries made to fit Dyson vacs. I would go to a place like Batteries+Plus and they will help you find one to match the dead Dyson battery you have. Just take the battery with you to the store. It will save you money by buying a comparable one.

@SilleeMee Why should I bother with it if Dyson are just crappy? You're not gonna convince me otherwise. Im done with them honestly. At this point, I'd spend much more on another brand even for hair products. Dyson is so TRASH.

I was just at a sew and vac repair shop to get my sewing machine repaired. They also sell vacuums and sewing machines. There was a woman there picking up her repaired vacuum. She told the guy that she was thinking of getting a Dyson and he advised her not to do it. He said they only last a couple of years. He said they won't even sell them.

Well of course, they want you to buy the brands they sell...

@azgal   I have two Dyson Vacuum cleaners.  One is at least 20 years old and the other one was just 15 years old.  Both still work fine.

The older one is a canaster vacuum and the newer one is an Animal.

Both are corded.  I just have one hand held battery vac from Black and Decker.  That is also an excellent vacuum.

I have had some pretty bad vacuums, but never a bad Dyson.

I agree, my Dyson is years old and I swear by it. It's probably the original Dyson sold here and it's a plug-in model. Hand held battery vacs are fine for a quick pick-up but I'd not trust one as my only full size main vacuum.

I'll keep my upright Oreck as long as possible. Will never purchase a Dyson.

I thought it was just a dead battery issue so I provided a solution. Now I see it's the entire Dyson brand that's the problem. Can't win for losing.

Is there a restriction on who can sell Dyson products?

Couldn't he sell them if he thought it was a good product?

I have a corded Dyson I've had for 20+ years. Had it repaired once & some parts were still on warranty. 

I've read where the replacement batteries for all cordless vacuums cost a fortune. I'll stick with cords.
