Was browsing the internet for deals on a cordless Dyson for my Mums Birthday present when i came across this Good deal for a refurbished Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner which is the latest model of the cordless range I believe.
These are £519 new in Currys, Argos, John Lewis Etc so £289.99 for a Dyson Refurb with warranty seems like a great deal.
This is a refurbishment direct from Dyson and it comes with a 1 year Warranty.
This has a better battery life and easier emptying process than the V6.
Ive bought 1 for my mums birthday present so fingers crossed will make her happy!

Great price, although if someone is adamant to obtain a new one I have seen then for £394.49 on Leekes.

Ok, the price is good but after a while these require a really full clean which includes the cyclone (which needs to be taken off and dismantled) and the gate to the waste container (which sometimes jams shut) and the bush (requires dismantling).
If you just use it as an ocassional cleaner then it should be ok for a while.

You will have to explain this. I am not sure a company like Dyson whose primary business is vacuum cleaner will manufacture a stupid product like this.

I think the issue you are referring to was a problem with the v6, It has been fixed in the v8 in this deal by having the cyclones come out the top of the unit when the bin is emptied. There is a you tube video for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSFQ8eKeKAw or for a non Dyson video https://youtu.be/wbjygB6mAeA?t=1m57s

I hate Dysons.
So over designed I actually find them painful to look at.
Sister had a V6. A tiny plastic clasp snapped. Couldn't be replaced. Rendering the whole thing a giant ugly paperweight.

Personally so do I, absolutely wasted money on an Dyson 'Animal' a few years back and it just clogged up and had the engineer out over 5 times, in the end threw it out. Bought a Miele S7580 for my mum, she just couldn't handle the weight of the thing! ended up with the V6 and its OK for small jobs, but the plastic is evident.

A plastic bit broke on my Dyson too.. I always thought it would break as it was so flimsy compared to the weight of the pole part it held. And yet Dyson keep winning design awards.....

I have a V8 and despite what reviews might say, they are absolute crap.
They pick up 25-30% of a normal decent vacuum when on 'max', which only lasts about approx. 5 minutes. On normal operation is almost like one of those manual floor cleaners from the 1980s. They don't pick up much from the corners in rooms because there isn't enough suction.
Battery technology just hasn't evolved enough for these things to be effective.
Honestly, don't waste your money.

I don't understand how people seem to have such differing experiences with Dysons. Is the quality control poor or something? I'd never had a Dyson before but bought the V8 about 6 months ago. I couldn't believe how good it was when it arrived. Being battery operated, I thought it would be under-powered but that the portability would make up for it. But instead, I used the V8 straight after vacuuming with my Harry (the animal version of the Henry) and it picked up so much crap that the Harry couldn't.
And the Harry/Henry is quite powerful. So how do seem people say that the V8 only picks up 25-30% of a normal vacuum? Are their units broken?
