Dyson Canisters

[madabouthoovers]

Unfortunately most bagged cleaners suffer from bag odour, and even with the charcoal filters, they still smell. Its usually worse when you first switch on for a short while but usually smells better after that. The bigger the bag, the longer the dust has to fester inside it and the worse the smell. I can just imagine how bad the old Kirby shake out bags must have smelt back in the day.

Still though, so do the hoses and floor heads - so they're not different than any other brand.

My loyalty in James Dyson and his cleaners disappeared on the day news broke of him moving to production to Malaysia. There are all sorts of reasons sited as to why this was. I have my own opinions. This is where and why I get frustrated at his attempts to solve problems which don't exist, because money has been saved by taking production from the UK and is being spent on R&D to solve none existent problems, simply because Dyson likes to have a whole team of engineers who play at making the world a better place.

Dyson canister

Gareth,
I have to tell you I appreciate you answering all the questions about the Dysons and I can sure understand and appreciate your loyalty to what you sell.
Now I want to give this new DC39 a try!

Thanks for all of you feedback, I will be getting the DC39 Animal Ball Caisnter.

Why is there not more Dyson canisters with electric PN instead of turbo PN? Hoover Turbo Cyclonic & XXX VortecCyclonic have exact same Dyson cyclonic technology, but have electric power nozzle which cleans more effectively than turbine PN.[this post was last edited: 7/10/2013-01:27]

I think Dyson will have worked out by now that electric power nozzles could be made - but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that most European brands don't offer PN options. It adds weight and so forth, taking away the lightweight reputation that Dyson has also factored into many of the canister designs since the heavy DC02 (I had two of them including a limited edition Antarctica).

Europe also has a knack of producing separate vacuum cleaner ranges so that one sector, or line doesn't interfere with sales of the other. Those looking for a PN would be probably directed to any one of Dyson's light "compact" uprights.

He's changed the way mini turbo brushes are designed with that cassette style attachment and I think it may be a matter of time before a power nozzle is developed, so that it is far lighter than current units.

I have a dc21 with the motor head, Its wonderful but like ryan says, I ould rather buy a dc42 upright than the heavy motorhead, I think the dc37/39 trigger head is very effective,light weight and easy to use. If you have a house with mainly hard flooring and a few rugs a Turbine head is great, If you have mostly carpets then you would buy a upright.

well......

when i had a dc21, i had nothing but problems with the electric hose and powernozzle, they eventually both shorted out and had to be replaced under warranty.
i would go with the dc39, the dc23 is probly going to be cheaper but you get more with the dc39

The dc19/20/29 is my favorite design of dyson canister as they are just so robust. We often get customers bringing them in after 6 or seven years ( 19/20) asking for a service. The first thing I do is open it up infront of them and take out the filter and they look in amazment. " I never knew it had a filter their " they always say. I even know of a few builders who use then mounted ontop of larger drums to suck up building dust as the normal industrial ones just clog up to fast with cement dust.

On the other hand I love the look of the dc11 and dc37/39 They look awesome. I think the Dc37/39 animal is a brilliant vacuum The trigger head is a fantastic piece of engineering and as good if not far better than any of the Euro style Motor driven powernozzles that we get here. Its also the only air driven power nozzle that I have seen that actually grooms the Carpet.

I do not agree that Dysons build quality is better than Miele's! I have owned a DC24 for 4 years now and have had 2 wands break in exactly the same place so they start to pop out in use and the cleanerhead starts to develop a nasty rattle, then burnt out and I'm now going be on my 3rd cleanerhead. Luckily Dysons excellent backup service is the reason why I'm keeping it and the fact I don't need to keep buying bags and filters. When the warranty runs out, I won't bother spending money to keep getting bits replaced.

The quality has improved slightly over the older models but its still not great.

Anyway, back to topic, the DC39 looks like a nice machine and luckily it's quieter than previous generation machines but its still not as quiet as some. Good luck in your search.

Whatever became of Dyson's Digital Motor?

The DC22 had such a short time here and now they seem untouchable when I see how high they sell on eBay. That's the only time I ever saw a Dyson canister in the U.S. with variable speed control (on the hose handle, mind you) and an electric power nozzle.

I don't think for the foreseeable future Dyson will fit their digital motor in full size machines apart from Japan which they have done recently into the small ball canister. I think they want to expand on the cordless market personally which uses a version of it! I wish they would use it as it has some benefits I would of thought over congenital motors they use..... Maybe one day!

One thing they don't even use their own digital motor in their blade less fans!
