Already submitted one for this product today, but the user bigsue19 commented on buying a DC39 in this thread http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/87007 , but didn't list it, so I'm doing it on her behalf because the offer is too good.
The equivalent model costs at its lowest a touch over $700 shipped in Australia, so is a 2 year Australian warranty worth $200? After buying the DC44 from the US I'm pretty confident on Dysons reliability and I think it's worth the gamble.
To get the lowest price you need to register for a rewards card and after you look at your cart if it doesn't say 10% off in red log out then in again. Then once you see that choose your shipping destination and the VAT is gone it should read 234.25 pounds.
Key considerations:
- There is no Australian warranty
- It will run on Australian voltage with a European plug converter
- Doesn't include bank fees (use 28 degrees card)
Just shows how ludicrous pricing is in Australia.
Seems like a lot for a vacuum. My $200 commercial one is still going strong and it sucks like there's no tomorrow.
