Hi @Peg,
Welcome to the Dyson Community - I’m glad to hear your Dyson DC45 Digital Slim vacuum has worked so well for you for such a long time!
As you’ve mentioned this is now one of our older models, and due to its age we’re no longer able to support it with spare parts or servicing options.
Our cordless vacuum technology has evolved and improved a lot since DC45 was developed. If it’s time to consider alternate options you might like to take a look at our current range on Dyson.com.
We’re also happy to help advise if you need any support choosing something suitable for your home and cleaning needs.
