I guess D3/D4 are models with a soul. 8)
But D3 (as Defender) is the last of the old school.

To be fair, I hate the D5.
I’ve never owned one, but having driven over half a dozen examples over a total of nearly 10,000 miles, I’d say that’s enough to form a fair opinion
On the other hand, I’ve owned a lot of iPhones and have a love/hate relationship with them (edging ever closer to “hate” since iOS12 blundered it’s way onto my phones ), while I’ve owned nothing but Dysons since my first DC01 in 1994 and love them. The verdict’s still out on James Dyson himself though...
Ah good point never thought of that option, but have to say if you have driven 10k in D5s that has got to ba as a good as owning one and is certainly a long enough test drive
My Iphone can annoy me at times, but it works and thats all I ask of it as for Dysons, we to have had them for an age, I would guess at least the last 15/18 yrs, not to keen on the latest style of upright that keeps trying to collapse as you push them along to park them up.
