Dyson Cinetic doesn't work well.

[alexhoovers94]

Well, they release the DC01, DC02 and DC03, all of which had very poor suction and the performance was overall poor, the money they were asking, they were truly shocking and could of got a much better cleaner for a good £100 cheaper.

Dyson says this will last 10 years without filter maintenance. Well, if you are like me at home, that would be true since I can fill up my Windtunnel air once a month.

At work, though, during winter months, that will mean 12 times a month. Meaning I'll clog up the post filters within 2 years or less (which as you noticed were made extra large for this vacuum to be "lifetime").

Really I can't see this ever being solved. If the cyclones work as they have to, they take air from the sides, then spin around, then the dirt falls in. The air doesn't flow out of the cyclone on the bottom, but gets sucked from the top. I'm sure if I took one apart it might not work like other cyclones but they can't feed air through the bottom of the cyclones since that defeats the filtering.

To expand that new flexible tip at the bottom of the cyclone would require air flowing through it. Where that air goes depends on whether or not it can filter properly. Maybe it feeds it out back to the main chamber. Othewise, Dyson is tied to the same laws of physics as everyone else.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Remember Dyson has been claiming that they have no loss of suction and now there is a new story since Cinetic came out.

I would imagine the Cinetic to work well in the average home but it may struggle to filter all the fine dust in exceptionally dusty environments. But then the HEPA filter will capture this. Dyson do put a warning not to vacuum up rubble dust, soot etc. If the HEPA filter is clogged this will not cause a loss of suction as the motor is not ducking through it but blowing out.

I have a DC24 which of course Dyson claimed no loss of suction. It's clogged so badly since I moved to my new place. The filter clogged every week and if I didn't wash it then the rubber filter would lift itself up and put fine dust on the HEPA filter which I trust captured the rest but that has gone through the motor - which I point out on my DC24 has proven to be tough dealing with all the fine dust as it's not the first time I've had issues with the pre motor filter clogging and lifting itself up inside the top of the cyclone. Maybe if it had been constructed of rigid plastic surround then that would not have happened.

Cinetic marketing does not make me want to buy one of those machines. I don't like the designs.

I'm sure Dyson are aware of it's limitations. The average consumer is not going to inspect every component and take their expensive machine apart to see if the HEPA filter has fine dust on it. I certainly don't inspect my Dyson. I just empty it into the bin outside and shut the botto, wipe the bin and place it on the machine. Only when I encounter problems with clogging I take pics and check the dust on the filter to see how fine it is.

Pic below showing you the state of my ore motor filter on my DC24 after just one week and how the filter lifts itself up and let's the fine dust into the motor. This machine has no loss of suction written on it! Lol

Agreed Blakaeg
I might just get a DC41 mk2, outstanding performance and durable

 

[marcusprit]

I suggest you try either the DC41Mk2 or the DC40 2015 model that Roger did a good video of.

The DC24 and 25 were not great but the have improved a lot since then.

 

[blakaeg]

Fine dust let into the motor I hope this didn't come out into the air.

 

[blakaeg]

There was nothing wrong with the DC24 and DC25 machines. I would rather a DC25 over a DC40 or 41 any day but that's my opinion and preference.

My point is not about machines being better over the other. I'm just demonstrating that Dysons clever marketing convinces us of certain things that may not be true. All my Dysons clogged at some point and it seems when dealing with very dusty carpets like mine (apartment was empty for a year so carpet accumulated a lot of dust) the machines can potentially struggle.

Parwaz, I hope u enjoy ur new machine when u get it.

 

[marcusprit]

Instead of bleating on about old dysons try one of the latest ones they are much improved. The DC40 2015 model is on offer for £199 atm

 

[marcusprit]

I'm sorry but the DC41MK2 is much improved over the DC25.

 

[alexhoovers94]

The DC40/41, are far superior to the DC24/25, dust separation is still not perfect but the 40/41 are far higher performing and nicer to use than the 24/25.

 

[parwaz786]

Thanks Blakaeg BTW Dyson have sadly discontinued the DC25 again

 

[blakaeg]

I don't care to be honest lol. It's a vacuum to me. Only saying I prefer a DC25 if I ever bought another Dyson which I don't need to as have a Sebo in addition.

 

[parwaz786]

you converted to bags? thought u hated them lol

 

[alexhoovers94]

Dyson have sadly discontinued the DC25

It is just too much, Tayyab, get me the tissues, I can't control my tears.

 

[blakaeg]

Marcusprit may I suggest instead of starting something why don't you ask first. I have infact been using a DC40 machine to clean when I've been doing cleaning jobs in the evening after my main job so I'm talking from my own experience. Yes I have seen that video too. Thank you.

Parwaz, it's a shame DC25 has been discontinued but it was on the market for a very long time due to it's popularity so I'm glad that it sold well.

 

[blakaeg]

Parwaz,

I never said I hated bagged machines. I do like them due to being easier to remove the dust once full up. I really like SEBO now.

 

[alexhoovers94]

I really like SEBO now.

we must get you to therapy.

 

[marcusprit]

I'm not starting anything. Was it the 2015 model with the Max/min slider?

If you prefer the DC24 that's your preference but most would say the latest models are much improved.

 

[marcusprit]

Alex you deserve a slap for that one! Naughty boy!

 

[blakaeg]

It's the 700 watt version with the slider on the front yes. Used in a bungalow but used the hose/wand cleaning the owners sofa to remove cat hair.
