A few pics of my Dyson and Vacuum cleaner collection.

Shaun, bag less ball...

Hi Shaun.

Thanks for the comments and question.

I am luck enough to own both DC04 Constant Max variations.

I have the early Silver and Lime and the later Steel and Orange.

The silver and lime had a blocked filter and the indicator did come on, so to speak. Basically a ball half silver and half red. But From memory I don't think they are sensitive to activate for the hose being covered. I wish I had donena video now with the blocked filter.

But I will endeavour to take some pics in the next few days and upload for you.

So, watch this space.

Also I have a DC15 Allergy and a DC25 Drawing Edition which model of ball do you prefer?

I must say I favour the DC15 but I don't really have the space to use it in my small cottage so the DC25 is my daily driver.

Hey Matthew,

Thanks for that. If you do a vid of the indicator, let me know

I like all the ball cleaners, but for usability I probably have a preference towards the newer machines like the DC40/41 due to them being less bulky. Plus I have a really deeply piled shag rug, and those machines are easy to push on it and clean it well.

I think the DC25 machine in a really easy machine to use. But there is something I just don't like about it, I don't get the same feeling that I have cleaned with it like I would with another model of Dyson.

I like the white and orange colours used on the DC15. I haven't used one in years. I might have to do something about that

And not to forget the slim! My mum has one, I quite like that machine. Although the crevice tool they included is naff.

The DC25

We'll Shaun,

After I got my Dc25 Drawing Edition, I was initially a little disappointed as I agree it feels like it just hasn't cleaned enough. Maybe the weight and size of the Dc15 gives more of an impression when cleaning. One modification I made to my DC15 Allergy was to block the large debris channel in the cleaner head and now, the brush really sticks to the carpet. It might only have a 1050w motor but it's plenty enough.

Your right I forgot the slim. I'd love a dc18 allergy. I've never had the chance to use one, so need to sort that out. Ahh, the dreaded combi tool no one seems to favour them lol.

On a separate note I have started a dc04 constant max thread with the pics of the filter wash indicator.

Let me know anything else.

The dc 18 is one of the best cleaning dyson's I love my one.


 


I found a new old stock one a few months back and took it home to keep it for myself 

 

[dyson89]

Gsheen.

I would have done the same if I could find one.

Is the dc18 your daily driver at home then?

Just out of interest what machine do you vacuum the shop with?

 

[gsheen]

I have a few vacuums at home, Our house is large and segregated, I have a dc28 airmuscle, a dc18, dc41,dc52 cinetic, a Harry and a central vacuum. Those are the mainstays but if the mood grabs me I will use my 508 Kirby or what ever Vintage vacuum I have just finished restoring.


The most used vacuum in our home though is our dyson  Dc62, we have a dc45 and a dc35 aswell. 


 


At the shop I generally use a Royal commercial vacuum due to the horrid industrial carpets we have, But their I also have a Central vacuum and I will use any of the vintage machines on display. 


 

 

[dyson89]

I can't remember but,,,

Were you involved in a thread that talked about cleaning Dyson bins with an air driven tool? Like a giant buffer that brought them back to new?

You have quite an array at home. I love the dc28 air muscle. That's a cool Dyson.

I'm allowed a Dyson at home for main cleaning and I have a Miele Hepa Solution TT for car cleaning etc.

 

[gsheen]

Yes , I built a buffer for buffing the inside of the drums. The company My wife and I own, Vacuum cleaner House is responsible for dyson service In South Africa. 


 

 

[dyson89]

It's might be a closely guarded secret,,,

Is there any chance you might share the type of tool and the products you use to get the desired finish. I have a new bin on my DC04 De Stijl and it makes such a difference to the appearance of the display.

I would be really happy if they all looked the same.

Well I don't know if my godmother in Durban has a Dyson but I will reccomoned she sees you if she does. When I come to your shop in the future I may buy her one as a present.

 

[gsheen]

I use a buffing soap with a buffing wheel and then a buffing liquid with a clean buffing wheel.


 


I will take some pics during the week.


 


I will post some pics of my simple to make buffing machine. 


 


 

 

[dyson89]

You wonderful man...

That would be wonderful. And maybe the kind of buffing materials like the soap. As I have never heard of it. I have a high speed electric drill if that will do the same?

 

[dys0nb0y]

Here is Some of my Dyson I have a couple more That I'll show you later

Time to empty the bin....

 

[dyson89]

dys0nb0y...

There is a guilty pleasure in letting the bin fill to the MAX mark and knowing it still sucks as good as when its empty...

Is that a G-Force is see in Pic 4?

More pics of the G-Force for sure, please. Although I would love to see more pics of your collection anyway.
