I have had a few Dyson's over the years and each one has broken down for one reason or the other. I learnt from the builder trade. We bought Henry hoover and it's outlasted any Dyson that we have had.

Contact Dyson they usually will help, I have had great customer service experiences from Dyson

Dyson, ours lasted about 6 months till it was given away as useless, there are far better machines out there. Miele or Sebo are in my opinion a far better quality product.

Did you ever use it?

Planned obsolescence does exist. It's possible they have looked at the fail rates of products and designed the warranties and guaranties around those. Or more likely just bad luck.

Dysons are overpriced and overhyped in my experience. The humble Henry is a great product and is also perfect for anthropomorhising.

Contact Dyson, they just might sort out the problem. Belling replaced my oven element two months past the guarantee expiry date.

The original Dyson was a great machine, the latest incarnation is a complete pile of excrement. swmbo can't wait to get shut but I refuse on the point it cost a fortune and still works

We pay an extended warranty fee every month of a fiver. Let's say we use it at least once a year for parts breaking.
