Hi @MikeH56,

Thanks for sharing your feedback.

This doesn’t sound like the best experience.

Our customer service experts are empowered to resolve most issues in the first instance, as well as offering support and guidance to help get the machine working. If you're already in contact with our experts, I'd encourage to you continue your conversation with them as this is the best way of arriving at a resolution. If the product is deemed to be faulty or not as described, in line with the Dyson Terms, which are found across our global websites, we protect our consumers right for a return and a refund. 

Allow me to offer some assurance in that this occurrence is very rare. In fact, Dyson have a very stringent quality control which usually identify any such errors before leaving our factory for shipment. I am sorry to read that in your case this doesn't seem to have happened. As a recommendation, I’d suggest visiting the online help section of the Dyson website and navigating through the Troubleshooting option. This may help indicate what if anything is missing from the initial setup. Pinpointing is there was a missing step or if a part of machine has loosened, such as the internal hose. 

Thanks, 

Stuart.

Stuart,

There is no spin on this case that you can use to put it in a good light. 

I paid $500 for a brand new “Ferrari” of vacuum cleaners and I got a “Dodge” and dodged. 

Prior to your suggestion, I read many troubleshooting guides and watched videos. I also did that prior to calling your very generously named “experts”. They guided me to the same You Tub videos I had already watched. They put me on hold 10 times while reading the same step by step guide that was supplied in my box. They weren’t experts. When I asked for someone to join the call that was a little more well versed in the troubleshooting of these beasts, there was none. They’re the same people that you’d get if you called any customer support. They all work for Convergys, not Dyson. Tell me I’m wrong. 

While I was trying to find a fix online, I found waaaaaay more people with the experience I’m having.

Now I’m getting censored by the “moderator”. Is Dyson so unsure of it’s status that they’re ordering you to edit out the names of your competitors? I don’t think that I saw that particular rule in the Community Guidelines.

Needless to say I’ll be purchasing a much more well reviewed brand of device after I receive my refund  from you.

Hi @MikeH56
