My Dyson vacuum cleaner, for which I paid a lot, packed up recently (the motor 'went')and I took it to a local shop for repair. There were 5 other Dysons whose motors had packed up in the shop. The old man who does the repairs suggested a Panasonic vacuum cleaner. I got a fantastic deal through Amazon, and it works like a dream. It was delivered quickly. I could buy 3 panasonics for 1 Dyson, and I'll never touch a Dyson again. I think a 'bagless' vacuum cleaner is a bad idea (dust gets into the workings).
