Lovely Henry! Very shiny. I have an old Henry too
Dyson have ended their third-party repair program; good luck getting your machine fixed now 😒Submitted by J3ttf t3_110cwer in BuyItForLife
Dyson has terminated many local repair centres, making it impossible for many people to get warranty work done.

Sure, but I can give you some advice now! Buy a new filter (about £10 off Amazon, less on eBay) and get some vacuum fresheners. My favourite brand are discs and come in a really ‘80s box, I’ll try and find a link :)
EDIT: Vacuum fresheners

No worries! They’re getting more popular worldwide so maybe one day you’ll get more familiar with them :)

Oh yes, American Henry’s are a bit pricey. I think it’s because they have to get a green card

I’m selling them on eBay, it’d be pretty awful of me to sell a dirty vacuum

Really? I know expensive is objective but ~£130 is pretty average for a hoover

When I repair them I bypass the PCB with a light, like the most modern ones. Also, the ‘80s DAF motors can be replaced by a modern 1200w one if you knock off the bottom motor housing and slide it onto the replacement :).

I have heard of quality issues with the modern motors, if your company is willing to repair then let them know that the older style more reliable motors fit the new models

You can’t order them but if you email Numatic (not myHenry) and ask them nicely they’ll ship you a few for free. I have 5 or so

Oh I love the DC08, it has brilliant suction. Probably one of my favourite Dyson’s next to the DC04

No, if you’re in the States you will need to order from a 3rd party. For a lower price, ask your local vacuum shop to order one for you.
