I gave up on my Dyson V10. It's the only vacuum I have ever had that
needed constant maintenance. I had cleaned the filter a couple weeks
ago and it took a day and a half to dry out enough to be used. The
manual said it should take 24 hours. On Tuesday it clogged up again. It
should have been ready to use by Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't. Now was
it ready Thursday. On Friday I tried it and it was kicking out. I took
the head out to the shed, charged up the air compressor and blew out
everything. It still wouldn't work, so I called Dyson. They are going
to send me a new one, but it might take a while. I won't feel guilty
about the fact that it actually worked this morning..... five days to
dry the filter.
