Dysons arent too keen on any kind of 'serious' dust!!

When we moved into out brand new house there was loads of building dust still settling..... Our 1 yo Dyson was repaired 3 times in the 2nd year and eventually gave up the ghost.....

Mind you we tried something different for a while and soon bought another one!!!

My landlord did that Bob.

Dust blocks up filter.
Motor strains against the back pressure created up to the air filter.
Persistence leads to motor burning out. lol
