    Found a dyson vacuum!

    Has a price tag of $249.00 on it but some cord cutter got there first!!! I should take it to a vac repair place and see if they would be interested in it for parts, as I am not sure it was running when placed out for trash.

    lots of one of a kind parts, bet he'd be interested.
    If not you still got yourself an over engineered marvel of vacuum technology

    It's easy to replace a cord. The vacuums I find are usually just clogged.

    Its a simple replacement for a cord, most of the time they clog up in the hose line and filters, or a belt.. I'd keep it unless the motor is fried. nice find!

    I have found you you can fix your self .
    I don't need consumer reports concerning vacuums . Most vacuums I find are just clogged or so slimy the owner wants it out .
    I have tried most to all vacuums and the Tyson I have found plenty . I don't see the hype its just a vac nothing special . I like the old small Oreck's
    Hover's give a good second life

    I find Oreck's Kerby's Miele's when there old .
    Then comes all the others a dime a dozen,
    Dyson's included if they were such a treasure
    they would keep them . I'd put money on it - who ever tosses a Dyson does not re-buy a Dyson .

    But yes to look at there interesting, particular the motor in the ball is different
