I think I fried the Dyson Vacuum

Post by Hungary Jack »

Aaacck! Was zooming across the carpeting going after cat fur, and got too close to a sheer tapestry by the closet. I tried to yank it out, but I think I fried the motor that drives the agitator. Doh!

Mrs. Jack will have stern words for me....

You could've saved your ass too, they just had a "woot off" on one of those things. Could've had a new one for a couple hundred bucks.

Luckily they are client of my wife's firm. She gets them at a considerable discount. But we just got the darned thing about 5 months ago.

My mom bought a Dyson a few weeks ago, but returned it when it wasn't as life-changing as she originally anticipated.

Sorry to hear about the vacuum, HJ.

I thought this was going to be a physics sci-fi thread about a Dyson sphere.
