Old technology re-invented True. In this day and age, we should have anti-gravity levitation.

Reply #7 That looks like it's some nutcase from the UK. The car number plate looks British, as does the wheelie-bin. Hell, even the pavement and road looks British!

Two things... 1: How does that mini-turbo brush compare to the generic Hoover/Electrolux/Vax/Chinese 'Power-Paw' style? Our Shark info-mercials videos show the machine in use with the former, but the latter head seems the one destined for our shores. 2: What is that 'Hitler moustache' brush...

That video... And then he goes on about the brushroll being loose-fitting in order to provide 'optimal vibration'. Seems an odd way of producing vibration, a bit like an electric drill with hammer action. I'd call it 'loose-fitting, designed to fail early'.

Johnny L8 video He shows the battery pack as being a Lithium Ion type. I thought this new machine had a Cobalt-Nickel-Aluminium battery? Or have I missed something? From Dyson's technology: "Fade-free power The seven-cell, nickel-cobalt-aluminium battery has the fade-free power to clean here...

"I know some vacuum enthusiasts hate it when Dyson come out with an excellent product but they are not representative of the wider public who will love the V10 😘 " That in itself is a high-handed attitude. Remember - one size doesn't fit all. What is suitable for you, and the woman next door...

I was watching the Shark Duo Cordless last night, and I can't help feeling that Dyson has missed a trick or two in the design department. The articulated elbow on the Shark appears to give added flexibility, and the Shark can be left standing - like a standard upright (albeit with the elbow...

Nah. They wouldn't like my criticisms.

Dyson V10 technology blurb I am wondering if Dyson's marketing department has goofed with "altitude sensors"? Perhaps it should actually be "attitude sensors". As in yaw, pitch, roll - with data gathered by 3D-axis sensors. This way, the machine would know which way it was orientated, with...

Perhaps the suction is exactly the same as the UK version. On the other hand, the reason for the 'power nozzle with suction vent', could be because of the thicker, deeper pile of American carpets - where the head might stick or judder on plusher carpets. I was reading about UK folks'...

Allow me to rephrase... If your V8 was attached to an air-powered turbo nozzle, would the V8 be able to make the turbo nozzle work effectively on carpet? THAT would be a true measure of efficiency. I never asked about the motor nozzle. Any lacklustre suction would be compensated for with a...

V8 How does the suction compare to a corded machine? Would it generate enough suction/airflow to power an air-powered turbo nozzle? I ask that, because I had a DC11 cylinder, and I always got the impression that there wasn't enough suction power to drive the carpet turbo-brush. It was one of...

Not necessarily so. I too thought 'DC' stood for 'dual cyclone'. But when they move to the Root 8 technology, I assumed that it really meant 'Dyson Cleaner'. Anyway here is the Cinetic Big Ball as DC75, from John Lewis...

What are the model numbers... ... for the latest cordless machines? Do they still use the 'DC**' nomenclature, or have they switched to something else?

I can't be doing with the constant barrage of ear-bashing from the voiceover artist. Obviously went to the same voice school as that 'Cillit Bang' bloke.

Re: Shark I noticed that the Shark 'infommercials' are plastered all over ITV late at night. I still think their designs are ugly and bulky though.

"V8 Animal for £250" Oooh, that's a more realistic price. Well done! I just wish Dyson Ltd were more amenable to lower pricing. I've often had the impression that their prices are far too inflated. Surely their technological engineering costs have since been met? Or is Joe Public now...

Dyson's pricing... Seems more than a bit out, as the V8 models are largely dearer (£369, £520, £550) than the newest V10 models.

Please do report back on your opinions of the V8, when you get it. I'd be interested to know how it compares to other machines.

The UK Turbolite imported from America, came in two models. Both were the 'honey beige' colour scheme. Neither had tools attached, but a separate toolset was included with the second model. We had no need for a domestic tools-attached Turbolite, as we had the Turbopower and Turbomaster Total...
