    I can't comment on the submarine. But as far as my v15 is concerned I honestly love it with my pets. Granted I don't have 7 pets but the motorhead genuinely has never tangled with hair and I've abused it. The only time I ever had an issue with the vacuum was when I accidentally clogged the...

    Dyson Piston

    The only benefit the Dyson has is it always uses clean water since the dirty water is separate. Dyson was definitely late to the party on these, and I think it'll be hard for them to get a foothold on the market at this point. But I question if any of these floor washers are worth the money...

    The new one looks better in my opinion but I can't comment on if it's any better than competitors as I have zero experience or interest in wash machines.

    I'm confused why he's promoting the Wash G1 when they already have a new one that's out in Europe. Dyson's marketing has been very strange recently.

    Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

    So I turned this on today for the first time in a very long time and immediately a gust of dust came flying out the exhaust. Which I then had to vacuum up with another vacuum. So I think it's fair to say I won't be using this anytime soon if ever. Good concept but filtration makes it...

    I have a Swiffer Duster that I use on my V15 to clean the bin of anything left over. I then take the harder plastic handle and tap it on the vacuum (where it's circled in the image) over the garbage until I don't see any visible dust falling anymore. I also gently tap on the shroud and the...

    If it actually clears out the cyclones that's pretty interesting I'm not going to lie. However I don't think that alone is enough to warrant a giant and most likely very expensive base station.

    I have a PencilVac that I had shipped from Japan. It is as you described, with the head feeling like it's floating. However I generally prefer the v15 just for the way better suction power and other things.

    I'm curious how the base station is going to actually work. The picture I saw when the v16 was first announced made it look like a big piece of furniture. Is it going to be its own vacuum with filters and such? If so that's just another thing to clean and maintain. Overall they seem rather...

    How bad is the Amway filtration? Is it like ShopVac level bad? I've considered buying one but don't wanna use it if all the finer dust just comes back out the other end anyway. I know the later DC01 had a hepa filter. Too bad that design isn't the one used. Could you like modify a hepa...

    I had the Ball Animal 3 for awhile and it's actually a really impressive cleaner. Here's a video of someone really abusing it in an extreme test. The only downside is it's extremely heavy and it had a few quirks I wasn't a fan of so I eventually ended up selling it. But the performance was...

    Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

    Thanks for the info. I was planning on trying to jerry rig it into a bagged machine. Which would make it a very nice little handheld.

    Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

    I have this old Dirt Devil corded handheld in my closet. It's actually a pretty neat little machine. But the sound is so loud I'm literally terrified to use it much. I'm afraid it's literally going to explode in my face the sound is horrendous. I'm not sure if they sounded like that when...

    Oh I see. My apologies. I am familiar with those lines. I personally haven't experienced any cracks on my V15 but I don't doubt that it can happen. Especially since the vacuum can't sit upright. Which is my biggest pet peeve with all these stick vacuums on the market. I feel like...

    Mold is a good point. Especially with them just sitting there. I'd definitely be wearing n95 masks if I were to take on the challenge. Honestly it's kinda tempting but I doubt the shop would part with them for free. And frankly you just never know what some people vacuum up. The amount...

    Assuming the motor itself isn't shot on those you could probably fix them with an air compressor on the cyclone assembly\filters and a new battery. But you're also missing attachments and filters in some of the photos so you'd probably end up in the same price range as just buying one new...

    Not sure i'm a fan of how the V16 empties the bin, at least in this example at 2:41. It leaves a lot of the larger debris behind on the bin compressor. On the V15 any large debris like that wouldn't be left behind in the bin usually, mostly just finer dust. Which is maybe annoying but...

    Dang, the Fluffyhead on the Gen5 does better on surface level carpet dirt (which it's not even designed for) than the V16 did.

    The V15 motorbar head can definitely clamp down on different types of carpets. In my experience mostly area rugs without any backing or very thick carpets. I have one particular small area rug that even on Eco and all the gates open it's just not possible. There's just no airflow between...

    I think that only happens on the DC17 if the seal is pushed upwards with the bin flap.
