Announcement Terrifying News - Possible Shark Attack

Well, things took an eventful turn. I was cleaning up the old Dyson to try and recycle as much as possible, in particular the dust bucket which could go straight in our normal one. Seems to be a struggle to get it off for some reason, eventually get it off, and I spot the reason why. Some crud and matted hair and dust jammed in the mechanism. I plucked it out and what came with it, but a small piece of clear film. Clear film I had not notice before. Clear film that had been blocking the metal contacts that transmit the power through the shell to the heads. It works it only bloody works.

So we were now faced with a decision. Do we keep the inbound shark? The hardfloor head we've got is a smidge sketch. It's allegedly a genuine Dyson one, just with non of the Dyson stickers on. We also have the absolute worst model of Dyson, the V6 absolute. It's wand doesn't fit any of the other V6 model attachments, neither is it the same as a V7. Like an Intel refresh chipset, it was one and done. The head I had to cut some bits of plastic off to get it to fit. It works ok, but seem to have to go over some stuff a few times. Maybe the shark will just whip it's ass and will be worthy of the upgrade.

Well this morning the shark finally arrived. Bare retail box that looks like it's been moved house a few times, giant Amazon warehouse sticker on it. Oh dear. Pull it out head is absolutely caked on **** inside. It's as new as my lower intestine with just about as much wear and tear.


Going straight back. Seller tried to claim there were images of the item showing it's condition and they'd only do a partial refund. Total bs, there was 1 stock picture and that was it, which I didn't mind as it was "new (other)". Once the tracking had updated as complete on eBay the return was filed and they can go f themselves in the a.

Dyson lives to suck another day.
