    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    I have never found a vacuum better for hard floors than my Dyson DC41 and DC14 & DC33. This includes straight suction cylinders. The Dyson just seems to have a miracle every time with it's large debris channel and and edge cleaning whiskers with suction channels on the sides and the soleplate...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    Vacuums can suck through carpets and here's proof airflow is needed to clean: Put something in your hand, like a marble. Grab a powerful Dyson for example. Take the hose off the powerful Dyson and put it on your hand with the marble on aswell. Now switch the Dyson on for a few secs then turn...

    Seriously they just HAD to use that puny little Dyson DC50 when comparing it to a full sized machine? Not a fair comparison.

    Dyson DC07 Question

    Hi I am also from Birmingham, UK lol :) Anyways, is the Dyson making a ratchety loud grinding noise? Does it have a brightly coloured knob on the front of the vacuum on it's cleaner head? If so, this indicates that the brushbar underneath the vacuum is jammed and needs o be clear of any...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    O_o That hoover has a blocked filter Trust me, I noticed this with my DC14 when I vacuumed up plaster dust, the suction was almost killed but the motor is powerful so was sucking hardcore through the filter, it wil sound loud but not enough for the air relief valve to blow. Some people think it...

    Oh and FYI guys, the video above with the Riccar brilliance, the new Dysons can agitate as well as that can, if not better. No matter how good a Kirby can clean, I would still pick my DC41 Mk2. It deep cleans perfectly fine and we don't have thick carpets anyway. I ahve only one and it still...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    Hi Blakaeg I am doing well thanks! I hope you are also :) I actually agree with you, and we all have our opinions lol- I prefer the feel of an older Dyson aswell, but the fragility of them is a bit annoying for me (I had lots of DC07's, Dc04's and DC01's with cracked plastics, but the newer...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    Nooxy, sorry but especially when you haven't owned a Dyson. You said "A turbine will never clean as well as an electric power nozzle, and will clog much more easily since everything that is vacuumed goes through the turbine. The Dyson vacuums also seem to have quality issues, a lot of the...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    I heard it costs more to make plastic tubes than metal tubes? Somewhere on VL... Also, some vacuum motors are plastic but Dyson motors are metal (Exept the DC01 Ametek Motor and a DC04 non clutched motor), Dyson used to have metal wands and poles, but changed to plastic to make them lighter...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    Actually no Dyson are made in Malaysia but designed in the UK, they were not allowed to expand their malmesbury factory in the UK so has no choice but to move abroad, they had no choice. People think it's cost cutting but they are wrong. It's for the best and loom at them now! They have even...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    Impfac, all those issues have been rectified on the new ball models, the head is held in by a removable & replaceable bracket rather than a clip. The upright lock has no stabiliser, it just reclines but it strong enough to wheel room to room. The wand just comes our rather than pulling out and...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    No vacuum is perfect and there never will be because they are man made. But Dyson are great vacuums and since the DC01 they have made HUGE improvements and everytime a new model is launched it gets better and better, they slowly evolve and carefully think about he life of a vacuum in a home...
