The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

He criticises everything what other testers do. Too many or little passes, too much or too little debris, wrong type of carpet, etc. And of course his tests are only one to be trusted LOL
I have never seen anyone so aggressive against vacuum collectors. His life mission is to proof that the Dyson stick vacuums are the best vacuums in the world.
He is always right and others are always wrong.
But he is pretty much alone with his opinions. Only few hardcore Dyson fans agree with him.
This person is full of anger and rage against us: vacuum community. It's easy to see from his videos and comments.
Actually it's so bad that it's hilarious

I am not too bothered about his videos. I have too much fun making my own videos ☺

Wrong type of carpet?!?!?! My goodness. So what are people supposed to do - design their home around the vacuum cleaner? Or maybe just buy a machine that works on whatever flooring they currently have.

This guy needs some psychiatric help—- like NOW! Hahaha.

So basically this guy is saying that if you have carpet that restricts all airflow then your Dyson will work about as well as a kirby.... In that case any vacuum would work poorly. Thanks Vacuum Facts channel. I now know that my Dysons will work about as well at vacuuming crumbs off plastic wrap as my kirbys and other direct air machines. Really good to know.

This made me laugh today!
This guy does a test with a different discontinued model in a different country with different floor tools and wonders why the results are different.

He is a very annoying person, and I speak as a content creator! If any of you watch my videos (and hi if you do!) I'm always very careful to not do anything scientific so he can't go off on one. Hats off to Alex and VacuumWars who get it constantly.

The issue with him is he has some mental health issues I think. If you ever saw his first Dyson Zorb video, where he rubbed zorb into his carpet with a turned off v10... I commented and said many things, and he asked me to prove it (as he always does) so I did, because if you ever saw my Zorb video, I have 3 generations of Zorb powder, and did what I thought were fair, to the letter tests using Dysons own instructions (spoiler, it freshens and revives the pile a bit but has zero stain removal). And as the comments went on, he got more agitated that he did not know the facts, that I knew better than he did. HE has to fact-check. That's where 99% of people commenting on his video fall down, they cannot explain the facts better than he can. After this I don't seem to get it as much as others (although he called me a screwdriver warrior in a comment recently about my v11 torque head breaking, as if I would willingly break something costing me £50 a month!) which is quite nice. I did reach out to him in the zorb comments telling him to email/message me and I'd gladly send him detailed photo's of the various zorb packagings, a scan of the dc04 zorbster manual... nothing.

A couple of other collectors like him and chat to him regularly, you'll be seeing a Sebo felix on his channel soon and I think that's coming from VacMat (another non-boased, totally nice kid...) so he will soon be trying to wind up the Sebo fans (please just don't fall for it). On the facebook groups I am a member of many people have blocked the members in question so information does not go back to Johnny, we sit in the 'dark corners of the internet' as he says.

What I have also noticed is it's always the same few people who comment positivly on his videos. Personally I usually see 4 or 5 fresh faces commenting on my videos every time, as well as my faithfull allegience of fans, on his... usually the same people.

It's a pain, I present my content in a way that he can pick no holes in (so my unscientific dirt pickup tests for fun because people like seeing them rather than 'look at how much this vacuum picks up etc') and poke blatent fun at him too. He begrudgingly commented on my V11 torque head annoyances video an surprisingly conceded that I might actually have a point (I had to sit down and have a drink at that point) although rounded off by saying that of course I was wrong... I have to prove that the flipping torque head fails to pick up bits of 1930's india rubber wire now because I supidly commented saying that I was cleaning up after a major re-wire of a Hoover 800 (where I'd replaced all the cloth covered perishing cable from the coil back, but forgot that it doesn't solder easily so had to cut it back a few times)and the torque head just spat it around the brushroll and flung it out (which it did) and he called me out on it and told me off for not filming it! Might collab with Alex on this one, we have axes to grind, especially since he straight out called Alex a liar and an idiot in various comments... now I know Alex is possibly an idiot but he is most certainly not a liar.

I am the only 'major' channel who has not blocked him as far as I know, because I can take the abuse and generally not care, and it's funny watching him wade in with a comment and suddenly running away when all my fans rip him to shreds. However sadly I know of at least 2 examples where his comments and general idiocy caused 2 people who I personally really like to either stop fully or go quiet for a while as their minds just could not shake it off like I can. And that's wrong. So he is just blocked as it's easier (which I should do really, but I like to poke the angry bee every once in a while when I'm bored)

I share your pain everyone!

Sam/Beko

I think the most important thing to remember is that whatever he says majority of people will realize how sick he is.
His comments are pure evil and sickness and people aren't stupid. Vacuum Facts has gone totally crazy in his comments. He is so out of control that even blind can see it. He clearly doesn't realize it how he has totally lost his reputation. Now people only know him as a raging Dyson fanatic who desperately needs mental help.

I once made a video about "certain" channel stealing content from my videos and of course I didn't mention what the channel was. Almost everyone knew what the channel was. So there is a way to make his channel to go downhill. Every collector just makes a video about "certain" channel and he is going to drown in to the dislikes and tons of hate comments. Eventually he will be gone from youtube or at least most hated. Well he is already most hated youtuber.

Well he, via process of elimination between myself and ibaisaic) accused me of deliberately breaking my v11 head so I could have a pop at dyson.

Things have escalated and he is on version 3 of his explanation. I'm about to sit down and compare the 3 and make VacuumFacts state facts for once...

I have never engaged with this person or even heard of him before seeing this thread, but I must say that many of his critiques of the Kirby in his Kirby G5 versus Dyson V11 video are hilarious. First of all, the G5 is a very old model and the Avalir 2 does have various improvements. He could still have some actual points against the Kirby because it is a thirty-year-old design with a bit of a learning curve for new owners to say the least, but he takes it way too far. His descriptions of how dangerous they are to lift and use are amazing. I have never ran over my toes or hit myself with one. Never once did it ever cross my mind that I may need to wear safety shoes or any other protective equipment. He acts as if they weigh so much more than they actually do. I can just imagine a scenario of him mowing over his toes with the G5; smashing it into walls, furniture, and himself; and straining himself while pathetically trying to carry it with two hands at the top of the handle instead of at the carrying handles like he did in the video. He must be a very clumsy person. Also, his attempt to make Tech Drive sound complex is really something else. It is like driving a car and being puzzled on how to put it in and out of gear. I hope that he does not try to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission. He would have a meltdown if he finds the whopping two options of Kirby's Tech Drive system confusing.

Well it could be worse, he seems to be suing myself and another collector... You'd have to go to his v11 review video to see it all and I wouldn't wish that on anyone but I stood up to him and now he 'cannot comment any further'...

What I have gleaned is he-

Denies
Gaslights
Goes silent and one other random person will take over for a bit
Gets angry

I then wound him up by mentioning libel and slander, because in my eyes he did, and lo and behold an hour later he cannot comment further but is allowed to make a short statement.

Ill not get the suit dry cleaned just yet

Law Suit???

Good grief.... I have not even tried to contact him. I THINK I left a comment, and down-voted a few videos, but that's about all. I think his misguided opinions (facts according to his videos) are a waste of effort.

I did go full on though... we went through his usual, then denial, then back to the usual, then he got someone else to have a go, then he sprung back with an AHA! then 'I now cannot comment further, this is slander...and since then silence

He did set himself up horribly for the fall. If youve seen my V11 - new torque head video, I mention right at the end that it doesnt like big messes. His original comment (youll see it in the 100+ comments thread on the video)word for word took my video apart and accused me of doing it on purpose and doing a dishonorable warrnaty claim. And by that, and process of elimination because the only other person on the whole of youtube who had a broken head was Ibaisaic, who didn't do a warranty claim.

After 2 flipping days of back and forth, he finally watches the video and wakes right up and latches on to me saying I did do a mess test, and accused me of bullying him for a reaction. He went back in his box when I said the test was woodshavings from the hamster (clean of course) coffee and glitter, filled the thing up in 2 passes then clogged back into the wand, oops).

This tells me that his original comment was just showboating to his echo chamber, and he knew nothing about any of it, and assumed the lot. So he makes cr@p up, can't take people questioning him, then says he has sought advice (which was 10pm on a sunday evening UK time...)

I'm not going to poke him again because I've got what I want from it, will be interesting to see what the next video is about though!

Started getting long drawn-out comments similar to Johnny's from "Matthew Locke" either the same person or they're very good friends. Was wondering if anybody else can confirm or deny this?

Matthew Lock (The Vac Mat) worships Johnny and his videos. Matt is always defending Johnny. He is hardcore Dyson fanatic, but he is also very young. About 14-15 years old. I had to block Matt because he sent me very nasty comment against my testing. Worst of all he made video what included screenshots from my video. Obviously I made copyright claim and his video was removed.

Matt likes sebo and Swan now... Because they gave him free machines to test...

I'm always a bit careful to now have too much of a go at the younger ones, because I think back to how much of an idiot I was whwn I was 13. The real test is what their like then they grow up... I do talk to matt and have not had an issue, he can take a difference of opinion and be good conversation. But I do agree he can be silly.

"In this life you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant For years I was smart, I recommend pleasant Being smart can make you rich and bring respect and reverence But the rewards of being pleasant are far more incandescent"

@mike811 I had a similar experience with him. Would occasionally send me messages asking vacuum related questions. Then out of left field started leaving a large amount of hate comments. Ended up blocking him as well.


@beko1987 You're definitely right we were all kids once.
That's why I just put him on the block list. No way of reasoning with a child like that .

LOL

That's some pretty funny stuff hahaha

Recently made a video in the subject.

Great!
It was about time someone makes video about him. I made video about him a while ago, but seems to me that it's time to do more updated video.

Mr. Vacuum Facts........

He reminds me of a brainwashed apple fanboy. It doesn't matter what kind of computer product you have, test, or recommend... it has to be trash because it's not Apple.

Mr. Vacuum Facts is obviously a fan boy, and anything that isn't his precious toy must be somehow inferior.

@vexorgtr

This. Reminds of the guy who argued with me that apple is "smart" for making theirs iOS devices compatible with expandable storage and why you shouldn't think otherwise.

That and his use of the words "evidence" "facts" "scientific and the term "light-years ahead" make want to rip my monitor in half with my bare hands.

@vexorgtr @mariotron
I think that's a great example of what's going on here. couldn't agree more with you guys!

Bagged is BETTER!

I wouldnt waste $ on a Diesoon V6

My old Eureka bagged corded stick vac will OUTCLEAN ANY BAGLESS stick vac; however I use my Eureka ESP for quick pick-ups on carpet

I'm planning to get a CV with the Perfect kit (old style Lux)

Yrs ago I had a NuTone with Hayden SuperPak but it was a rental house

Johnny's Kirby bashing video

I'm currently watching the video he made on the Kirby vacuum, and how he claims it's inferior to the Dyson V10. Definitely seems like he's just a Dyson fanboy that trashes any other brand or vacuum technology as inferior. Look, I love Dyson vacuums too, but I also love Kirby, and there are plenty of other brands that have really good vacuums that I can respect and appreciate.

Ryan, You're in Hanover??

Perhaps sometime, you could visit?  I'm b/w Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. I taught at The Governor's School for the Arts one summer in Hanover PA.

When I see someone with a Royal Lux D 790-something and a Ze3 power brush I know they understand great vacuums.

It wouldn't be a vacuum cleaner discussion without some interpersonal drama. Amazing to me how such a mundane household appliance engenders such strong opinions.

Well when it affects over a dozen different people over a decade that can't just upload videos or discuss a Dyson without activating him and his army of sleeper cells across the globe, it's a bit more than "interpersonal drama" innit? We're all just going about our lives, enjoying our vacuums, and then we make a simple mistake of showing a Dyson cleaning badly, or not liking Dysons, then we're thrown to the wolves an have to enure several barrages of nonsense ranting arguments for weeks and months. None of us have ever engaged with him, he tracks people down and harasses them of his own volition. He goes after everyone from big names like Beko and Roger with several thousand subscriber count channels, to just nobodies like me that collect crappy used vacuums that have some of them just happening to be Die Soons. I swear he has a AI bot scanning the entirety of the internet looking for anti-Dyson remarks.

I've never posted on this bully thread that has served as a town hall meeting for the worst sources of my abuse, but perhaps it's about time. I have a presence on YT (primarily) and here (recently). I've always been constantly attacked on both platforms since the very start by the same clutch of insecure, tribal bullies for presenting facts that aren't liked and exposing myths. Since I'm easily able to defend myself from these primitive, nasty attacks, desperate smears like this are all they have left to attack me with. This comment is pure paranoid delusion. My bullies suggest continuous, wilful, misleading deception is nothing more than "a simple mistake", attempt to downplay evidence-supported facts as "barrages of nonsense ranting arguments" despite being fact-checkable by anyone and quite true, they ignore their own bullying (e.g. 1, 2), and falsely and liabelously suggest I track people down and positively harrass them without any evidence whatsoever, cementing the charge of paranoia. They even stoop as low as to hypocritically suggest, without evidence, that I'm responsible for death of innocent people that were actually friendly with me, when in reality it was them who bullied (and worse) these vulnerable people, as evidence clearly shows. While the treatment here, particularly by huskyvacs and others hasn't been warm or in the spirit of the forum, it pales in comparison to the attempted onslaught on my YT channel over the years. As far as the better behaved of us on this forum are concerned, I think we're tired of petty bullying by a few bad eggs now. Please contribute positively or not at all. I think this thread has run its course.
