It doesn't really look like it but I finally finished rebuilding my DC41 today. Came from an environment overflowing with pets. I was able to get the smell of carpet fresh out of it by washing the pre-filter with cold water and detergent (just using water wasn't enough to get the smell out)...

Sensotronic - Looks very nice! That new brushbar looks like it's worlds better. How do you like the wand and tools? Love your vids, btw. Sold me on the Air Cordless! Looking forward to seeing how the new DC40 performs in your tests.

The DC07 and DC08 had extremely elaborate ducting for the root cyclones to try to spread the workload out evenly. On the DC14, the design was simplified tremendously, and was immediately stolen by other manufacturers once the multi-cyclonic patents expired. Here's the DC08 cyclone manifold in...

They definitely designed it for maximum airflow (which is excellent on new Dysons), and also to divide the work needed from the cyclones evenly. Having the suction go directly from the ball into the bin cuts back on extra ducting, saving weight and manufacturing costs, small as they may be.

You hit the nail on the head, Dysonman This is an issue that all current dyson ball uprights have, including the new Cinetic Big Ball. When dumping the bin, a small amount of dust cross-contaminates the clean air path (the tube in the center of the bin), which will then get pulled through the...

"i don't trust which." But they make a very good point! These tests need to be standardized for consistency.

I tried the Powerglide Liftoff, and it did a great job of cleaning. Had a very aggressive brushroll that really beat the hell out of the carpeting. This model addresses the things I didn't like about the previous model, which were mainly the stretch belt and the lousy filtration system. I...

Turbo500 - Love a good power nozzle! Maybe the new EU ratings that are stamped on every cleaner motivated Vax to slap a power nozzle on this cleaner. Earning an "A" rating for carpet cleaning starts with a good brushroll. Cool idea.. What's old is new again! The layout inside the machine...

Dat ball and dem cones.. The new upright looks really interesting! The most exciting thing to me is the brushbar that looks superior to both the DC41 and DC65 (it looks like the UK's DC41 MKII's gap-free brushbar), so I can't wait to see how it cleans. The Cinetic Science is intriguing, but...

Let us know what you think of the DC59 Motorhead! I really like my DC59, but I'd like to see how the new one performs.

I owned a DC16 Animal back in 2008-2010 It was great! I sold it to a friend (who has it mounted to her laundry room wall, and still uses it) and upgraded to the DC35 Digital Slim when it released. The suction of the DC16 was adequate, but at the time better than any cordless I had used. The...

New model launching in Japan. Uses a unique brushbar designed for large debris pickup, as well as fine dust. Looks like it would be awesome for bare floors (like most of their current models). Here's some vids!

Getting a Windsor/NSS/Housekeeper vibe I've never seen one of those! I found a link to one on ebay. Looks pretty nice! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Great-HealthMor-Filter-Queen-Princess-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-Set-with-Bags-/310902691579

Looks very nice! Looks like this model is superior to both the original DC41, and the US DC65 (which was improved in several ways over its predecessor). I think I'd prefer this machine over the DC65. Like the DC41, the DC65 leaves strange brushbar marks (asymmetrical) on the carpeting, but...

Neato all the way! There's no comparison. Neato cleans better than all but the latest Roomba, and also cleans much faster. Neato has a laser scanner on the top of the unit (powered by a Linux computer), that spins and scans the room in real time as it cleans. It first outlines the room, and...

^^^!!!!! I had never seen that QVC video before, and it was hilarious! Oh my God!

We'll just have to see! Obviously the idea is dead-on. A robot with cyclones (and 2 washable filters), all-floor cleaning, and intelligent navigation sounds amazing. The Brushbar looks wimpy (those see-through nylon brushes..ugh), but my DC59 cordless vac has a similar brushbar and does a...

It looks like the hose is possibly more pliable.. but still too short! The tools are what kill it for me on Dyson canisters. I've owned several where I thought the canister unit itself was great (DC39), then hooked up the attachments, and it was a total mess. Bulky wobbly wands (that leak...

Ah, I see! I didn't realize walmart.com had a sales model like amazon.com.

"Rebuilt to like-new condition," with a 5-year warranty. Wasn't aware Walmart was selling them! http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kirby-Factory-Reconditioned-G4-Vacuum-Cleaner/38771682
