Anything I should do with an old Dyson DC-08 (non pet version, probably ~20 years old) other than take it to the dump (electrical item recycling bit obviously)?
The hose is broken where it flexes in the head (a common failure it seems) but it still works as a vacuum cleaner. I've tried patching the hose with ducktape in the past but it eventually comes loose again.
I've already purchased a Miele C3 as a replacement so this is surplus to requirements and taking up space.
I did start to look into the £100 trade in offer that Dyson have but I'm not interested in getting a new Dyson (Brexit twat). And I saw the forum recommended Miele C3 was £100 off at John Lewis and that was good enough for me.
I'm not interested in selling it or posting it (since it's heavy and possibly not sucking very well) but it's better than nothing so anyone who can collect it from SW15 is welcome to it for a forum donation of their choice. Don't mind what someone does with it, use it themselves, break it for parts, use it as part exchange for a new Dyson or hoik it on eBay - whatever, just give a suitable donation to the forum please.
