Dyson cinetic big ball

[sebo_fan]

That review is very good and makes a lot of valid points. Crucially, the fact that the big ball fails the "vacuum limbo test," points more to the action that an upright vacuum should be able to muster. I notice that for the cost price Dyson have heaped more cleaning accessories/tools to compensate.

However its about time Dyson thought about producing a smaller set of balls rather than a large one to over come the limbo test. Otherwise I fail to see the point in my home if it can't get under low furniture. That's a cleaning requirement I need in an upright vacuum.

i think the dyson does cleaning carpets and half hard floors

Have you used a Kenmore, Josh?

 

[marcusprit]

I knew it was coming. No more filters to buy or wash, no more bags to buy?

Just a fantastically designed machine! A bit pricey yes but there will be offers in the future.

Dyson you have done it again

 

[dys0nb0y]

I know it looks amazing I think it's overpriced I think around 340 or 360 is more reasonable. I personally don't think A vacuum not going under the bed or going under furniture is a problem.

 

[marcusprit]

Well idealy it would go under the bed but there are ways around it.

You can use the low profile floor tool.

 

[turbo500]

Marcus, I was just thinking I hadn't seen your name pop up in a while! Happy new year to you.


 


I couldn't disagree more with Josh. Not a problem? How else do you propose to clean under beds and furniture? Yes, you could use the tools, but that's incredibly time consuming.


 


Once again, it seems people are blinkered by their fandom of a particular machine to notice it's flaws. Just like Mr. D himself.


 


Perhaps Dyson could start including a narrow but wide straight suction tool for cleaning under beds and furniture? That would certainly help and be a very marketable feature. We all know Dyson love a gimmick.

 

[marcusprit]

Happy new year Chris

I get on OK with the low profile floor tool but yes as you say a narrow but wide suction tool would be good.

 

[marcusprit]

Have you missed me? Haha

 

[dys0nb0y]

i have

 

[turbo500]

low profile floor tool

Something like that, but maybe a bit narrower in depth would be a good solution.


 


I guess if someone really wanted to, they could get a cheaper, generic 32mm fit floortool from ebay for such things.

It is not incredibly time consuming to use tools with a Dyson. In one second, you can go from using your Dysin as an upright to pulling the hose out within a blink of an eye. The wand and hose are ready to use, no assembly required.

Those flat out heads are very good! Incredibly low profile and stay in contact with the carpet. Seal quite well, but not all suction is sealed. Love it! Dyson also provide different adapters for use with different machines

 

[marcusprit]

Yes I like the flat out tool and the articulating floortool. They both work very well in my home.

 

[parwaz786]

Cool, I like the articulating tool, such a great design. How's your Dyson?

 

[marcusprit]

Had it 4 months now filter still looks clean.
I'm loving it. Of all the uprights I've used this is still my favourite. It's effortless to manouvre seems to float across my carpets. My wife says she finds it easier to use too. So it's all good.

Maybe sometime in the future I'll get the Big Ball. That name makes me chuckle haha

 

[parwaz786]

Lol

And yet here I am with 2 cats that moult and a bed that they like to sleep and play under.

Alienated from having a dyson like all the pet owners with carpeted bedrooms because the cleaners wont go under the bed.

No I don't want to use a straight suction tool cos they don't shift pet hair.

No I don't want a cylinder cleaner with a turbo cos they are back breaking. That's why I want an upright.

No I don't want to spend time unclipping a hose and then having to wangle it back onto the cleaner just to go again.

No I don't wish to waste my time with a mini turbine poking it about under a kingsize bed.

 

[rolls_rapide]

"the only upright with no bag or filters"

Er, no, what it actually says is "The only vacuum with no filters to wash or replace...".

What this really means is that filters will still be present, but that they will take much, much longer to become clogged with household dust (ash, plaster and cement dust excluded).

And as for that massive ball... why on earth can Dyson not shrink it, by using their famous Digital Motor?! Maybe they can't get it work in the uprights.

120 Air Watts suction is a more than a little lacklustre too.

 

[dys0nb0y]

the dyson has no filters the only one is the motor filter to catch the carbon dust.and the suction on dysons website is wrong is 215awas i asked and that's what it said at the beginning when it was first available. person that runs the website obviously doesn't know what they're doing

 

[turbo500]

Rob, we have the same problem here! Our little long haired lady loves to sleep under the bed, so it needs vacuuming fairly regularly.


 


The joy of the Sebo and it's flat-to-the-floor vacuuming means I don't have to interrupt my vacuuming to clean under the bed. Heck, I don't even have to switch the machine off or change any settings.

 

[madaboutsebo]

That's what I've come to appreciate about the design of the SEBO Felix flat to floor design for easy non stop floor cleaning under low furniture. One thing Dyson only had with the DC03. I would think it would be a very good challenge for James Dyson and his Engineers to design an upright that can lie flat to clean under low furniture.

I asked Dyson about this in the past and their answer was to use the wand and hose with the flat out tool or buy and use the digital slim to vacuum under low furniture.

I think the introduction of bagless technology, has compromised some other useful vacuum designs and features one being flat to floor and being able to use the vacuum flat to go under beds and low furniture.

Not everyone wants to have to move furniture to clean under or have to pull out tools or use another type of vacuum more so if you are doing a quick clean round.
