Of all the dyson products I have (2 vacs, 1 bladeless fan), customer service is the weakest link. The fan has a recall last year, they should have emailed customers shipping labels to print out to drop off the product at our convenience, but rather ask you to visit a local UPS B&M store and the store clerk had to fax the RMA request in. The whole thing took 2 hours on a busy Saturday. Completely failed customer service for a premium product that sells at 5x-10x the price of others. Yes the build quality is good, but not that good to worth 5x-10x the average price for the same product. And certainly not worth the hassles to deal with their customer support.

In the UK at least Customer Service is superb. I honestly cannot rate the company enough.

On the few occasions I've needed anything Dyson simply ask for the serial number and I describe the part. Next day or two and it arrives in the post.

They also do on site visits if the vacuum has any issues. £80 labour and parts inclusive.

I mean my mum still uses her DC02 from 1995 and it works just fine.

They're (in the UK at least) a top, top company.
