collapsible umbrellas

Having said that, it goes in my rucksak and the mechanism is so intricate is won't withstand things on top of it. Hey ho. Red handles are rare and for completeness..............

Nothing is perfect - there's a price to pay for everything - except bags in Dyson vacuum cleaners. Over the life of the cleaner (my DC01 is 20 years old - never a hiccough) the saving is noticeable, particularly when you would have run out of bags just at the crucial moment. Just after you have disposed of the last one!

Bagless is a selling point - no doubt about it. And there are a few excellent design touches. I get irritated with poor design - not with this one.
