You can order an adapter on Amazon that will let you use inexpensive batteries made for electric tools. They last longer than the original battery ever did.

I bought my Eureka vacuum for $50 20 years ago and it still works as good as did on day 1.

They don't sell parts or batteries there. Only repairs.


Absolutely not true. I was there this summer and they sold me a new main body/cyclone. Dyson was out of warranty. I called and asked if they had them because online was out of stock. They did.

I went there, the DMV has faster service and my cable company had better service.

Mine died and I was about to buy a replacement battery on Amazon, but as I was troubleshooting I found out I had never cleaned the filter in the center;I had only been cleaning the filter at the back. I took out the filter in the middle, cleaned it fully according to the instructions on dyson’s troubleshooting page, and my vacuum was good as new when I put it back together a day later.

Opted for a new Shark from Costco that isn’t cordless, but has a lift-away feature to make it more like a handheld or cordless vac. I love it, and it was less than half the price of a new Dyson stick!


So which model is that please?

Same. I think it’s more powerful than it ever was!
+1 Not only is ours more powerful with the new battery but it also sucks up bigger pieces than before.

Agree.
