I've never owned a Dyson, so can't comment on their reliability or serviceability, though someone related to me swears by them. Currently my rather heavy Corded Vax V-006 is in pieces. I thought the mains suppressor cap. had failed s/c, but it turned out to be the 'headlamp' (their description) bulb. Getting at the filter involved virtually dismantling the machine so whilst it's apart I'll clean the filters, which I last replaced about 18 months ago. As I live in a ground floor flat, I don't have to lug the cleaner up and down stairs, but might invest in a rechargeable cordless one (not, from all reports, a Dyson) as an alternative to the Vax.
