My parents have a DC01, and about a week ago it started making burning smells. Turns out the motor brushes had run out. How many products can you say that you've used until their motor brushes run out? I don't think it's ever happened to me.

I think you've just been unlucky. They have a 5 year warranty anyway for such an event.

Yes, our motor burned out after a couple of years, and then we had to chase all over kingdom come (about an hour's drive) to find a dealer who could fix it.
