    What should I buy?

    Owned both! Gifted the Halo, and Kept the Eureka. The Eureka is a beast! Built much better.

    Dyson Zorb opinions

    I tried Zorb for the first time last month! I used it with my DC17, and first groomed the concoction in with the bin detached, and vacuumed it up after the carpet had dried. The carpeting definitely looked refreshed and cleaner, but it didn't remove any stains. The Zorb itself was noticeably...

    New 2014 Vax Air total home - I am speechless

    The showstopper here is the much better brushroll. I hope Hoover releases something similar in the states soon! I'd love to try it out!

    Thoughts on the Dyson DC14

    I refurbed one years ago I like it A LOT more than I was expecting to! Fabulous tools. The filtration is excellent. Cleans much better than the US DC07, and does a great job on bare floors too. The bin is easy to empty and clean, and holds a large amount of dirt. It's basically my bagless...

    Dyson DC65

    I see 3 brand new Dyson attachments in there I had a DC65, and really liked it! It's definitely my favorite current Dyson upright. Congrats! Looks like your machine came bundled with 3 funky new tools. Have you had a chance to use them yet? If so, what do you think of them?

    VAX Range 2014 - Eco Range

    I am aware that TTI owns both companies, Turbo.. But for a long time, ideas didn't frequently carry across the pond like they are now. Hoover and Vax just launched the Air Cordless at almost the same time, and that's something that hasn't happened before. Vax designed the Air, and Hoover saw...

    VAX Range 2014 - Eco Range

    Those new Vax brushrolls are beautiful! I hope they preform as well as they look! It doesn't look like they've addressed the problems with the Air 3's cyclone pack, but I'm glad some of these models still feature the orignal Vax Air's superior filtration setup. I hope the US gets Hoover Airs...

    Talk to me about Henry vacs in the U.S.A.

    "you'd be WAY better off on carpets with a Filter-Queen or Kirby!" Meh. I own all three of those vacuums, and my Henry is by far my favorite. Henry is way easier to use than both, lighter, quieter, and the huge bags don't lose suction quickly like those horrible FQ cones. In the US, if you...

    the most weird dyson in the world

    I owned a DC65 for a hot minute The brushbar is definitely one of Dyson's best. It's diameter is larger than the DC41, but I don't necessarily think the agitation is better than that model. The brushes stick out much farther than most Dysons, so it leaves nice carpet lines, and picks up lots...

    Hoover Vortex

    Thanks for the pics, Alex! That contraption is mind-boggling! You're right Bball, Hoover did say they used technology used in oil-separation to develop this model. Dyson called B.S., but clearly Hoover put a lot of effort into their first dual-cyclonic upright. Too bad about that pre-motor...

    Hoover Vortex

    Trying to figure out how the 'triple vortex' works Looking at that cyclone assembly, I see a shroud and a (small!) cyclone, but what's with all the extra and strange ducting around the cyclone? I know Hoover was trying to get around Dyson's patents, and built an extra step into their...

    The Robots are Coming..

    I didn't use the term... "all-above floor cleaning." I think you pioneered that term! P.S. Big Portal fan.

    The Robots are Coming..

    Those are good points, Dysonman! And they're all solvable. Dyson's DC06 robot prototype had a set of attachments that could be plugged into the machine, making above-the-floor cleaning possible. As these machines get more powerful, that could become an option. These robots are also...

    The Robots are Coming..

    Given the decade of robotic trash.. I understand the opposition, but what if they got better? I almost look at it like an automatic dishwasher, or a washing machine. Yeah, I can clean my own dishes, and probably better by hand, but if a machine could do it for me, why wouldn't I let it...

    The Robots are Coming..

    Miele is joining in on the fun! I can't tell if this has a suction motor like the Neato vacs, and the latest Roomba, or if it's just a sweeper. It looks smart though!

    The Robots are Coming..

    With the Neato Botvac, Miele's robot right around the corner, and Dyson hinting at joining the game soon, the next revolution in home cleaning might not be far off. Far smarter than a Roomba, which bangs into things to navigate a room, these new robots actively map out the room, and are far...

    thoughts on hoover

    Time for a tune-up! Loud and kind of heavy, but extremely powerful, these things are work horses if properly maintained. It sounds like your machine really needs new belts. They may not be broken, but they're probably stretched out, if it's had regular use, and been more than 6 months since...

    New Dyson DC40 Origin.

    I really like... The DC41. I owned one for a while, and thought it was one of the most refined, and best cleaning Dysons I had ever used. I thought it was a huge upgrade over the DC25, in both performance (it cleans carpets and bare floors much better), and usability (I like the longer hose...

    DYSON DC06

    Here's James Dyson talking about the DC06. Dyson claims they'll release one eventually!
