I have the Dyson stowaway and got the one with the hardfloor attachment and it is ace! So compact and easy to carry up the stairs! I bought it to replace a Dyson Animal upright which was bought as it was supposed to be good for allergies but it took a heck of a lot of energy to haul it upstairs!

Aaargh, I'm in a bidding war on ebay for the Dyson stowaway. There's only 3 hours left and I was well chuffed because up until about 10 minutes ago it was only £44.50 and now so fecker has pushed it up to over £80 not sure if it's worth bidding, might as well just buy a new one (this one's a return because someone didn't know to clean the filter).

Might still be worth bidding. What model is it and how much would it be brand new?

Faerie

It's the Dyson DC20 Stowaway Allergy Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner - selling for around £250 new. This one has been used, but can't have been for that long (they sent it back to the store saying it was losing suction, but it was because they'd never changed the filter).

If the only problem really is the fact they couldn't clean the filter I would say thats a bargain and go for it! We sold our upright dyson animal for £120 second hand and it was 7 months used!

Faerie

Just put £101 in.. if it goes up much more I'll stop though, they have "buy it now" of the same for £149. Thanks for your help Sjnams, I'm so wet sometimes with ebay, never sure if I'm getting a good deal or not. Gone a bit click happy today though... inflatable mattress (needed), bathroom cabinet (needed) ruby ring (wanted, shhh)

I think the ruby ring was "needed" as a reward for all the hard work you got done today!! Hope it doesn't go any higher than your bid as that would be a fantastic bargain!! Fingers crossed for you hun!!!

37mins left and we're upto 132. Poo. I was meant to stop!!

This is my ring though, pretty eh? Supposedly opals and rubies, but was only 36squid and I think it's gorgeous so don't care if not real. Opals look real in the picture though, can't tell about the rubies.

What a gorgeous ring!! Not bad for £32!!
Did you get the hoover then??

Faerie

Nope, no dyson The other bidder pushed the price upto 135 and the postage was 10.99 - I saw one in an ebay shop for 149 "buy it now" price so might go for that instead.
