The dyson slim: high-tech, sleek, sexy, never loses suction. A gay man's dream.

Not so much. After 60 days, the motor burned out. Uh, wait, no suction now. It gets better. The 5 year warranty only covers replacement of the motor once. Even better, the guy at the repair shop says he has had them come back twice with burnt out motors.

Should an expensive, high-end vacuum die so quickly? The dyson slim sucks!

p.s. It took dyson 2.5 weeks to send the replacement motor.

Never stops sucking!

sucks you vac didn't suck sorry.

Note to self: Do not get the Dyson Slim.

If the product is "made in china"....no surprise at all!!

$500 item "made in china" by all mean avoid.

A product is no longer high-end when it's available at Wal-Mart.

is it the yellow one?

Damn Kevin, that really sucks. Er... or not. (alarming, because my wife insisted we get one, even though she's used it once in the year or so we've had it.)

fortunately my dyson for 3 years has been sucking really GOOD!

Why, why do I find serenity in cleaning!?! Curse dyson!

When's the wake/funeral?

I thought you meant your dog died.  DUDE don't do that!!!!!!!

There is life after death.  You can purchase a conversion kit to make it a popcorn popper.

crap, no suck oh wait its does suck or wait it don't........ oh hell I'm confused I'm going to lunch.

My Dysons are old now, still running great. I will have to check out this Dyson Slim model.

I got myself a vintage Kirby for $10.  All metal construction, built in the early 80's and it's still ticking.

Dude, Kirby's are HEAVY. But my parents still have one from the 80s, and it's running great still. Just don't lug it up and down stairs.

And this thread saddens me... I've been wanting a Dyson Animal for awhile now. :(

sorry to hear about your loss.

p.s. I thought at first Dyson was your animal companion.

10 dollars for a Kirby... shit those things were $1200-1500 in the 80's

I love my dyson, wish I got the "animal" cus I have furry kids at home!!!

Yeah the Kirby has a cool cast aluminum base which looks really retro, but it is heavy.  It lives upstairs because our downstairs is all hardwood.

Mike Tyson died?

Oh wait...never mind.

Vacs are like sun glasses: pay over a certain amount and they are sure to break.

who let Kev in ?

yes but i've never lost my vac

We have had the "original" yellow dyson since 04. Still works great. Surprised to hear that the Dyson Slim is giving you so much trouble. Where did you get it from? Can you still return/exchange it?

My dyson is great after ALL the dog hair.  I think you got unlucky or the slim still has kinks in it, like all the FJ Cruiser toyota makes.  I think the Fj Cruiser looks like a dyson vaccum.

How much were you using it and on what?
