Dyson Cinetic doesn't work well.

[sptyks]

I know there's a lot of Kirby haters on here so I won't say "Time to get a Kirby".


 


But I will say this instead: "Time to get a Riccar Radiance Tandem Air"

 

[marcusprit]

The only way to be completely sure would be to fill the bin to Max line shove a sock up the inner tube so no dust can blow back and repeat this several times and then check to see if any dust is escaping the cyclones.

 

[parwaz786]

Good idea

 

[dys0nb0y]

I also picked up plaster dust of mine and it didn't have any problems at all.

 

[marcusprit]

I like the Riccar Brilliance very much! But we are talking about the Dyson cinetic here Stan i've not had any issues with the Dyson DC41 MK2

 

[sptyks]

Don't get bent out of shape Mark, I just threw that in as a joke, just to be funny. I know Riccar is not being sold in the UK yet.

 

[marcusprit]

Get out of shape? I'm in very good shape thank you Stan

Come on I like dyson as much as Mark or Pawrz whatever your username is (sorry ) but I have been sceptical about cinetic. The technology just is not there yet for filterless vacuum cleaners. Yes, Rainbows don't use any pre motor filters (at least I don't think) but you have to put water in them an I would have a hard time thinking that is safe, not only because electrics and water but bacteria growth.

That fine dust is going to get to the motor, coating the bearings which will eventually blow the motor. Nah, stick with the already goo dyson cyclone technology rather that a filterless design. Dyson may regret this.

Still, at the moment, I do prefer my bags lol. Used my Numatic George the other day to do the top fo our ceiling vans. I forgot at just how much pulling power those numatics have !

 

[marcusprit]

I think you might be correct Oliver. Only water filtration will work without a pre motor filter.

But even the Rainbow will get dirt passing into the motor. I've seen a video of the Rainbow being stripped down and the motor was caked in dirt!

 

[marcusprit]

Rainbow is far from perfect as this video will show.

[oliveoiltinfoil]

:O At this rate we will just revert to banging the dirt out of our carpets. Nothing seems to work :'(

Lol jokes. Synthetic bags thank you very much, although I think more could be done to help aid airflow as the bag fills.

 

[marcusprit]

Haha. The perfect vac hasn't been made yet. May never happen. But there are still some very good ones available. And some very bad ones

 

[turbo500]

not only because electrics and water but bacteria growth

You're supposed to empty the tank after each use, so that each use is like using a brand new machine.

 

[marcusprit]

Unless you use it as an air purifier then bacteria and mold can certainly grow and all that moisture could cause rust to metal parts.

 

[daknx1994]

Mark, Rainbow advises to not store the unit with the main unit on top of the water pan, that way you do not cause rust or premature damage to the unit, and you are allowing the water pan to completely dry. It is recommended after each use to rinse out the water pan of all dirt and debris. This process can be tiring for those not use to using a Rainbow, but after a few times it takes only seconds to complete this process.

 

[marcusprit]

Yes Derek but when you use it as an air purifier it's on constantly.

Stan I don't hate the Kirby. It has a lot going for it. Very well built, reliable, performance on carpet is second to none.

I just don't think it works well in smaller homes. Its difficult to manoeuvre around furniture etc. You don't need a 15 inch nozzle in a smaller home. My Dyson or Sebo Felix with a 12 inch nozzle and swivel action is much easier to use.

In a larger home I'm sure a Kirby will be fantastic!

 

[daknx1994]

True it is on constantly, however with the unit running and the separator churning the water, it will not be as stagnant, it is the stagnant water that harms the Rainbow.

 

[parwaz786]

Come to think of it, a Kirby and a Dyson upright would be perfect for my local mosque

 

[blackheart]

Well....

It's dissapointing to see that the cinetic system doesn't work properly. I've sort of been keeping my eye on the big ball and thinking about purchasing one in the future, but seeing this and knowing that it lets dirt flow freely into the motor....that's not gonna happen.

 

[suckolux]

I felt the same way, there is of course a chance it was the dirt they say not to pick up, or over filled too, but I think I will keep washing my pre filter every 6 months and keeping my motor clean. It's just not that big of a deal to wash up.

 

[niclonnic]

How disappointing!

I love the idea of eliminating filters altogether, but that video left me scratching my head. If it took James Dyson 10,000 prototypes to come up with this, then why aren't these "crack" cyclones doing their job?

I hope that Dyson will continue to improve on Cinetic science, as this is ridiculous! I would rather stick with my DC07 Animal if I still had it!

 

[dys0nb0y]

this video looks promising,I think in those videos it looks over full, or has been overloaded or i might be wrong,but if anyone else reports this problem I'll definitely be concerned and disappointed

The fill line is there for a reason, but yes, in all likelihood it is entirely possible that the bin may be overfilled at some point through oversight. These things happen sometimes, and safeguarding against this is something Dyson needs to design into the product.

 

[miskini]

I bought one

3 weeks ago off eBay. After seeing this video I decided to tear mine apart. Mine was just as filthy as the one in the video. It does do a great job cleaning carpets, but the filtration is kind of disappointing.

 

[parwaz786]

I want one for the performance and maybe the big ball (100% straight) and it just has a big booty curve It looks so stylish like Uff!!!
I like how it has excellent airflow with the 2 filters

 

[parwaz786]

Who likes my DP? BUT DON'T SAY YOU LIKE HER MORE THAN I DO COS ZOELLA IS BAE <3

 

[dysonman1]

FYI about Rainbow and bacteria. The Rainbow Deodorizer/Air Freshener has alcohol and tri-ethylene glycol as active ingredients. One capful in the water, even when used as an air purifier, kills bacteria on contact.


I have the Big Ball Cinetic upright, and we've been using it for a month now. Check every time for any dust escaping the cyclones, and so far, none has. But my eye is on it constantly - I really want it to work properly.

 

[marcusprit]

Keep us updated Tom. I really want it to work too.

Surely if this was what Dyson experienced after thorough testing they wouldn't have released it to the public?

I'm still not certain if it's dust escaping the cyclones or dust blowing back up the tube when emptying the bin.

 

[dys0nb0y]

everytime I emptied my one I put a sock in the hole.and you can see even cnet it tested it.[this post was last edited: 4/8/2015-13:24]
