A DC04 with a broken mains cable? The original DC01 suffered with this problem in their millions, mine amongst them. It's gratifying to see that a later model still has the same problem :-(

The hose also breaks too! Get ready for that. the Dysons I had were cheaply made junk in my experience and a £40 bagless cylinder cleaner from the local market has given far more reliable service for years. Don't be fooled by what is claimed by some cleaners or get dragged in to being a "vacuum cleaner snob". Another overpriced one I didn't find any better was a Miele. It did nothing my cheap cleaner can't apart from costing 4 times the price for a name.

If your going to replace the mains cable, be prepared for a shock at the cost if you try to get it from Dyson.

Oh dear! As well as owning a DC01 I also owned a Miele. Although both are now consigned to the dustbin, I guess it's too late - I already warrant the title 'vacuum cleaner snob' with honours. However, in mitigation, I should point out that I've gone cold turkey and now own a cheapie cylinder model. No more brand-hype driven cleaners for me - I prefer one that sucks. Hey, someone could use that as a tagline! I'm on the road to recovery.

From very many years ago... "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux"

In the computer industry, a variant "Nothing sucks like a Vax" did the rounds too.

LOL

Now that you mention it, I think I remember that as well.
