Yes a Henry is great for things like that. I don't have plaster dust but if I did I'd use my Felix.
A tip if you're doing any drilling...Stick a post it note on the wall under the drill and it will capture all the dust :-)
 
i think everyone's just stop arguing and go back to the the cool dyson i apologize to turbo 500 everyone :)
 
That works both ways, Josh. If you want people to be more accepting of the pro's, you have to be more willing to accept the criticism.


 


I've said this before, people form their opinions based on experience. I'm never going to be a Dyson fan. I don't like bagless vacuums full stop. But I didn't just wake up one day and decide I wasn't going to like them. I haven't just thumbed through an Argos catalogue and gone "nope, don't like that!". I've formed my opnion on YEARS of use. Heck, I've owned a heap of Dyson's myself.


 


The first time I ever saw a Dyson was very early on. My uncle worked for some electronics company and he got a DA001 for my aunt. I spent a whole afternoon at their house playing with it - I was only about 4 or 5. I then spent about 6 months trying to persuade my Mum to get one. I thought it was so cool. It wasn't until years down the line when they were becoming more mainstream that I started to notice the drawbacks and it wasn't until I'd owned a few myself and used them in my home that my dislike started.


 


I think they're very overpriced for what they are, I don't think they do a particularly outstanding job, I don't think they're very well made at all, I think the high price tag you pay is reflective of the R&D that's gone into refining the cyclone and not a reflection on the quality, performance or longevity of the machine, I firmly believe that the success of the company is a result of clever marketing gimmicks and not actual product and I don't think they're all that nice to use -difficult to get under furniture with, the tools are a faff having to completely stop what you're doing and disasemble half the machine just to use the hose, unhygenic filter washing (although not an issue on this machine) and I don't care what anyone says there is an inevitable dust cloud everytime you empty the thing.


 


Those aren't opinions that you just form overnight for no good reason. They're reflective of my experience of owning and using Dyson vacuums.


 


I know you're happy with your Dyson and that's great! You've found something that you believe is doing a great job and works best in your home and circumstances. That's what vacuum shopping is all about! But just because it works for you, doesn't mean it does for everyone. I think it's absolutely important to keep an open mind, and that works both ways. For example, I would have no problem recommending a Dyson to someone who wanted a bagless vacuum and indeed have done on many occaisions to friends and family where bagless has been the requirement. But take away the bagless aspect, I firmly believe there are better, cheaper bagged vacuums available.


 


You may get frustrated with people "not giving Dyson a chance", but I get frustrated with anybody having Dyson blinkers on and constantly focusing on them, talking about nothing else and refusing to accept the flaws. No vacuum is perfect.
 
You haven't used the latest Dysons. And I'm not blinkered I know from my own experience what works for me and what doesn't. If I found the Dyson to be crap I'd say so.
And I have never said it was perfect neither is the Felix or any other vacuum. But I know for a fact these new Dysons are a lot better than you think. I've compared them to Sebo, Miele, and others so I'm talking from my experience blinkers off! :-)
 
That's true, I haven't yet used the latest model. The newest Dyson I've used is the DC41. But based on past experience, I'm not exactly entised to what to spend £400 on what has always previously been a cheap heap of plastic.
 
I wouldn't spend £400 either. But if it was closer to £300 having no filters or bags to buy it wouldn't be bad value. You get extra tools too. But there's no point arguing cause we will never agree on this subject haha
 
<p>all you old experiences don't count as dyson has evolved in the last few years .so you cannot comment on any new uk dyson. i could easily say the same about sebo or miele but they won't count as they will be based on old experiences only if they still make the model.is  just not fair to criticise machine that you don't own or have had experience or with all based old experiences. i think it's best to stay away with things about dyson unless you got something nice to say no offence but have a lovely day :) i can see you just don't like guys that's fine it's not everyone's cup of tea what does it mean you can say nasty things about.until you had a proper experience with the new ones.
 
£400 is outrageous that's over priced the wind item is on offer from £300 or £350 that's reasonable outstanding with performance and no loss of suction and no filter washing
 
all you old experiences that don't count

I'm sorry to say this and I'm sorry to offend anyone, but that is the biggest pile of horsesh!t I've read on here in a long time!!


 


You're classing the DC41mk2 as a current model, yes? That came out last year. Dyson have been on the market for 21 years by the time the DC41mk2 came out. Are you honestly saying that 21 years of mediocre machines followed by 4 months of 1 supposedly excellent cleaner automatically makes Dyson a good brand? You can't instantly turn a 21 year reputation around with 1 model in 4 months!


 
 
I'm not saying anything of the sort. All I've said is the latest Dysons are a lot better than you give them credit for as I've compared them to other so called superior cleaners that are not superior in my experience.
You are so patronising. Believe it or not I did have a good education you're not talking to the village idiot haha
 
turbo 500 being rude now

you're never wrong are.every dyson model has gotten better and better every new machine has better performance then the old one its calld innovation.but you only had experience with the old ones.
 
I've already said the latest Dyson I've had experience with is a DC41, which was still on sale as of August 2014. I found the DC41 had the same issues that I've lised above, and it was almost £400 to buy new! I shall repeat myself...Are you honestly saying that 21 years of mediocre machines followed by 4 months of 1 supposedly excellent cleaner automatically makes Dyson a good brand? You can't instantly turn a 21 year reputation around with 1 model in 4 months!
 
i've got better things to do than argue i'm gonna go now i think she go back to the dyson and leave it 
 
Innovation is not making things better though. Improvements is a phrase or word that is better suited, although improvements are very much an individual thing, not something you can easily try and persuade.

Innovation means a new idea or a new concept.

It is YOU who is as usual turning everything into an arguement - the moment someone disagrees with you its the toys that get thrown out of the pram. Whilst all the members are sorry that you have lost your brother, you can't use that as an excuse to keep making silly points to persuade others that Dyson as a product is better.
 
Marcus, I promise, I'm not trying to be patronising. I just don't understand the logic that I should suddenly regard Dyson as being the best thing since sliced bread based on one model that's only been on sale for 4 months when you consider the 21 years of very average vacuums before that. It doesn't make any sense.
 
Rolls or baps that you can pull apart - sliced bread isn't entirely all that difficult to live without. After all, electric knives aren't just for Christmas carving turkeys!

Whereas a Dyson vacuum cleaner with no filters to clean priced ostentatiously yet can't get under low furniture is not all that innovative. An improvement perhaps based on the CLAIM that no filters have to be cleaned but not all that innovative.
 
old dyson machines did clean carpets well but not for the price in the last year the carpet performance has got a lot lot better I would even say fantastic is now each model is even better carpet fonts on the other.
