Hey Shorty, glad you're having fun with your Dyson Animal DC41!
I've had nothing but trouble since buying one about 2 years ago. I've burnt out 2 motors even though I was cleaning the main filter first every 2 weeks, then every week and now even after 1 day!
Alot of times now it appears to overheat and stop. After about 30 minutes it's ready to go again!
Yes it's not as strong as other models but certainly picks up alot of soil etc.
I'm not rough on any tools, but have had to replace a few parts over the course of 2 years and don't think I'll buy another. The latest problem is the latch holding the canister lid on the top just broke off, probably need to buy a new canister assembly?
I have an old DC14 which I think is bullet proof and it will now be my go to machine for poorly maintained rentals (and some owner-occupied).
I recently purchased a Sebo 370 Comfort which not only sounds like a real vacuum cleaner but looks professional and I don't have to contend with emptying the canister as with the Dyson.
Just thought I would share this with you.
