https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/29/difficult-year-for-dyson-sees-profits-down-nearly-50 Double yikes. They've expanded too much, fired too many good people, and now the products and sales are suffering. The brands reputation is going downhill fast. I've had my V15 for over 2...

https://www.reddit.com/r/dyson/s/mi4oCBpNaJ Vacuum broken already after a month. Yikes assuming this is real.

The DC23 has a small fan that spins over the motor. Presumably to offer cooling. Rather interesting. Also has the "core separator" in the Cyclone that Dyson later abandoned.

Sebo just announced price increases, that will go into effect in October. Dyson also announced price increases a few months back, and I'm sure Miele will be next on the list. Vacuum shops and companies in general are in for a rough time. These Tarrifs are a disaster as expected.

I noticed in one of the TechRadar reviews they mentioned the boost mode having more battery life as a pro. But failed to mention it's only that way because they lowered the performance. Not because of any actual improvements. In fact the whole 315AW number from Dyson is like false...

He hasn't said what the mod is. But there's two problems here. 1. Any mod would void the warranty so that's an instant no go for me. 2. Having to mod a new product to make it work properly is also a no go for me. That's a giant failure. I don't mind buying old things and jerry rigging...

This video makes it look pretty good aside from the small bin capacity. It picked up a lot more than I was expecting. I kinda want one now. Although I felt like there was dust on the motor but he didn't zoom in or touch it so I'm not 100% sure if it was a shadow or something.

Anyone remember the "City" Canister? The selling point was how small it was. I think it was like 2010ish I think the suction was pretty bad on it but I could be wrong.

This is a good video on it. I wonder if the plastic is brittle like the uprights from the same era. I wonder why Dyson stopped selling canisters with electric heads. Everything after this one was turbo tools only. Except for a few japan only ones.

Isn't the DC21 a canister model? Are you thinking of the 18? I think that was a slimmer ball model they made.

Tbf the DC15 was worse, the original Ball. That was a failure. The DC25 was weirdly extremely popular, I remember them still selling them via QVC as late as like 2015-16. I think people just like them cause they feel "fun" to use, and whizz around etc. But I can't necessarily comment...

I'd be curious to see how a DC24/25 fares on one of those tests. They were much better designed than the later DC40 style ball models imo. In retrospect kind of an ugly looking machine but I think they were overall better than the later models in terms of performance.

Correct but on a regular Dyson with a pre-motor filter, accidentally going over the fill line a few times isn't a huge ordeal as you have the pre-motor filter to save you. On the cinetic system there's nothing there, so it can be quite disastrous over time. There's also nothing you can do if...

The lack of a pre motor filter was interesting on paper but terrible in practice. The "cinetic tips" were only capable of filtering out up to a certain micron level. (Don't know the number off hand) So anything out of that range was going to hit the motor. You'd also have to in theory...

Parwaz video shows it didn't work right as dust accumulates in the center tube past the cyclones.

The only caveat with those machines is that they have extremely poor filtration. So if you have bad allergies they're probably not worth it. But otherwise they are pretty good I think. I used to have the latest and (probably last) upright model Dyson sells, the Ball 3, and it was actually...

Yeah it's actually not a bad testing method. I think Project Farm and Vacuum Wars do something similar with crevices. I find their tests on Shark Vacuums dubious though as they never mention how awful the filters are and how truly disgusting it is to try and empty a Shark bin. They just...

I haven't noticed that on the Fluffy Heads, unless it's a large piece of debris like dog food or something.

This guy was sent the Dyson for review, and he complained to them about the lack of Fluffy Head cause in his opinion it makes the vacuum less "complete" (It is translated from Polish so not sure on 100% accuracy) and they told him it was being included in the set in the future. So at least in...

I personally wouldn't call that mess test very exaggerated. It seemed like a pretty fair amount of stuff. It wasn't complete chaos like Parwaz does. I really think the cleaner head is going to be discontinued and changed massively by next year if not the entire vacuum. Most consumers...
