which is better dual cyclone or root cyclone

[citroenbx]

i think DUAL cyclone is better thay don't get blocked very much

and are not over powerfull but

you can put 1600w motor is a dc04 that would be as powerfull as dc07 then

if you wanted

WHAT DO YOU THINK

 

[citroenbx]

ROOT CYCLONE

 

[citroenbx]

ROOT FAIL

 

[beko1987]

I think Root does have more airflow, but I do have a soft spot for Dual Cyclone machines, not least because they are easier to strip down and clean, and don't do what the DC07 in your picture does (and I've seen many examples of it!)

I like all Dysons from DC01 to DC33, DC44 is another nice latest Dyson
Root cyclone is better I guess, but does get dirty!!!
The DC07 malaysian modela are screamers

 

[citroenbx]

vacuums

i like dc01 to dc08
after that i don't like dyson

i like hoover turbopower 3

and some old vax models like 121 and 4000

and old panasonic vacuum from 80s and 90s

and lots more

but i don't like any vacuum made after 2007

 

[parwaz786]

How can you not like the DC14 but like the DC07?

 

[citroenbx]

.

sorry i do like dc14 cluchless
and dc11

and that is IT

reply #5!

Ha, good man! I would prefer dual-cyclones, especially since the Fantom vacuums were built with them, and they're such great cleaners, Amway too!

I may just be very biased, but I'd say dual cyclone. When well engineered I've found dual cyclone machines to filter better than cheap multi cyclonic machines. IMHO once you get past 2 cyclones I think it simply impedes airflow and creates unnecessary and unpleasant noise.

I always found the DC04 to be fantastic at filtering even fire ash, our next Dyson a root cyclone DC18 needed extensily more filter maintenance, the Radial cyclone DC38 I have seems very good possibliy better than the DC04,

 

[rolls_rapide]

It's funny how the Dyson "Core Separator" technology (aka Level 3 Root Cyclone) seems to have become a dead-end technology. Maybe the patents have expired.

 

[ultraperformer]

I never understood why they didn't produce more core separator machines it seemed a logical progression to me!

There is a lot to be said for the DC04. The DC33 - years later - is running on many of the same parts anyway. That says a lot. 

I like DC07's but they do have their cyclone problems.

On the DC14, they went back to filter in the top of the cyclone and they have more in common with the DC04 then the DC07.

The DC33 is a facelifted DC14 with less metal and more plastic.

There is a lot to be said for DC04's. It was good, solid, reliable engineering. We still sell them pretty much every day reconditioned. Can be fixed nice and easy like a Morris Minor. What's not to like?

The Dyson Medic photo above was actually taken in our shop on our techs bench (all the crap in the background gives it away - he isn't the tidiest of blokes). Angus was down that day and we happened to open a customers machine that "wasn't sucking very well". When we saw what was inside, everyone pulled out their phones to photograph it. It was to become the poster boy as to what DC07's can suffer from.

My favourite Dyson has to be the DC04. Simple, solid engineering and a decent performer compared to most modern plastic vacs.

 

[seamusuk]

My Favourite and the best Dyson made IMO

DC04 Constant max- I have both versions, this and the later Steel/Orange version...

 

[hi-loswitch98]

My favourite Dyson has to be the DC04 - as mentioned before, simple engineering, a breeze to refurbish & they still sell like Hotcakes on Facebook!

 

[madabouthoovers]

Have to agree, the DC04 was a good machine, and the colours were good too. My favourite ones were the DeStijl, and the Limited edition pink and purple. They were better than the DC01 in that they had washable filters, and they had clutches too.


Its interesting how Dyson has gone backwards over the years regarding filter washing. On the DC07, it was recommended to wash the filter every 6 months, but on the later DC50, this is now every 1 month. The DC07 was actually very good at keeping the pre-motor filter clean (well, those that were de-rooted were anyway). The less powerful they have become, the more dust that gets to the pre-motor filter.

 

[madabouthoovers]

DC04 Pink and Purple, and yes, despite the fact I don't like modern Dysons, I did like the older models a lot. I still do own all these machines.
