    I came across this, don’t know if anyone here’s seen it but there’s some interesting stuff in it:

    The failure rate is, well, a shocker!

    interesting
    no suprise really. when they were introduced they pitched at the same price of a miele which was tried and tested. they also did not look neat in a kitchen because of the loud colours so often were bought by people to install in a garage or utility room
    Common failure was the inner spider would corrode and push the rear drum forward which then jammed on the front drum. Machine would abort the programme as soon and it tried to contra rotate. The only way it could be resurected was to remove the drum and use a hacksaw blade to remove the corrosion so its would turn again, did a few

    Had never heard of it, very interesting.
    I would never buy Dyson for personal reasons, but this was indeed innovative. Why put a prototype on the market though?

    Dave, that sounds like fun…

    In some ways, it’s a shame it failed, but it was overly complicated. And, from what I can gather, not terribly well engineered for durability.

    But, what is a very good thing is the focus that they put on performance as in, it actually got things clean. A lot of modern machines, don’t.
