TIL: Todd Carty met his wife when she was 5 and he 14.

That's even worse than Glen Hansard!

Theyre terrible! The Mrs insisted on one when we moved in. f**ked after 6 months. Plastic is brittle as f**k.

They're like Apple products, all about the marketing.

Hear hear. Absolutely abysmal products. 

Have one that has broken 3 times. Have had it replaced each time and they sent out the sh*tty pieces.

I was in Lidl during the summer and they were selling a Zanussi similar one for 60 quid. Bought it and much better than the expensive dyson.

Had heard plenty of bad reviews about Dyson but bought the V8 Animal there a few weeks back and it's a great job.

Interesting.  The whole cordless thing going great so far. Mounted the charging dock in  my spare room / office. Suction so far is great which seems to be the big complaint. The brother bought one of the ball ones and apparently its sh*te
