Want a Dyson for Less? Get a Refurbished Dyson from DYSON OUTLET

I wouldn't. I'd get the refurbished one and get it repaired if it breaks after 2 years. It shouldn't break as it has been manufacturer refurbished. Basically it should be as good as new. But there you go, different consumers think differently about how to save money and the risks they are willing to take.

Johnny If it breaks after 2 years I wouldn't bother paying to get it repaired considering how much labour and parts costs, I might as well have bought a new one in the first place with 5 year warranty!

deepcore Quote: Refurbished Dyson machines are stripped, cleaned, rebuilt and tested by Dyson engineers to a nearly-new standard. Every refurbished machine bought from Dyson comes with a free Dyson guarantee that reflects the thoroughness of the refurbishment process.

Quite frankly given that the corded vacuums are refurbished using genuine Dyson parts and have a two year guarantee IMHO the refurbished ones are no more likely to break down within 5 years than the brand new ones with a 5 year guarantee. And if they do - get it repaired, or buy another up to date refurbished one.

But hey, you pays yer money and you takes your choice. It's a bit like choosing whether to buy a brand new car or a cheaper nearly new one from a branded dealer. And of course it depends on what you can afford to do at the time.

Johnny If they are so confident in the quality of their refurbs they would have offered a 5 year guarantee as well. 2 years since that's how long they expect it to last.

deepcore If a refurbished model was much cheaper than a new model and also carried a 5 year guarantee which would people buy? Is the answer is that (roughly) 20% or more would buy a refurbished my hunch is that that would probably not be a good business model for Dyson. There's a lot more profit in over-priced new.

Johnny So basically planned obsolescence.

If I could buy two refurb vacuums with a 2 year guarantee (I would use one after the other for a total of 4 years use) for the price of one brand new vacuum with a 5 year guarantee then it's not really a good deal after all.
