Sorry Jamie, I didn't see your comments before, I was too busy posting all the pictures, god it took ages!
I am a bagged person too, I like the idea of bagless but I think I will be sticking to bags; I do like the 90's Dyson's (so up to the DC05).
I do think Dyson's should make better brush rolls the bristles are to sparse like you said.
Beaters/beater bars do help with imbedded dirt but you don't actually need them really a vacuum with all bristles will still agitate (although not all bristle brush rolls are created equal) Take a Kirby or a Sebo, they have all bristle brush rolls and agitate very well.

Surely Dyson knew just brushes (and even they are sparse) wo
The crappy brushroll is one of my biggest bug bares with Dyson. They've never been particularly good and the clutch models with the helix brushroll are even worse (even though the cleaner head really does stick to the carpet on the later models). They pick up surface litter ok, but for deep down cleaning? Forget it. It doesn't necessarily need to have beaters - neither Kirby or Sebo have beater bars. It just needs a nice, dense brushroll with stiff bristles. The few bristles that the Dyson brushroll has are actually pretty good, there just needs to be more of them.

I agree - a beater bar isn't all the be all and end all. I thought the brush bar on my DC01 was perfectly acceptable - I don't tend to analyse how the brush rolls - if it leaves my carpets looking clean and groomed, then I'd be happy. Also none of the brush rolls in Miele et al turbo brush heads have beaters - they're not all bad.

Do you know, I really wish just wish you'd learn to stop responding unless you have actually owned a Dyson. The only bagless you owned is a Dustmanager. No wonder that's all you know as the basis of leaving dust behind- that I can understand as I had one of those horrid Hoovers before. And for your info JM, bagged vacuums leave dust behind too - especially the soft bagged Hoover uprights. We don't all want to know where your conversation is going to lead, because it will always return -like it normally does - to the machines you have on your profile.
The last time we went down this road before you went on and on about your blessed Hoover Ranger and if it wasn't that, it was a constant reflection to dirty fan uprights.

Oh I am the first to admit that I don't own a Dyson, BUT, I've heard it spoken many a time and PROVED on a YouTube video that Dysons leave dust behind.
If you don't want to accept that then that's your problem.
And did I mention my "blessed" Ranger ? No, I don't believe I did.

I completely agree! Although Jamie is not the only one guilty of doing this. There are many people out there notorious for judging the performance of a vacuum cleaner by watching a YouTube video. Anybody that bases their entire opinion of the performance of a cleaner on watching a video has absolutely no valid argument or point to raise regarding said cleaner. You cannot form an opinion on any cleaner until you have used it; preferably in your home environment. What works for one person might not work for somebody else. Also, as much as I love my vintage vacuums, they're not perfect. The softbags in particular. I don't think they leave much behind, but they do spew a lot more dust back out into the air than a hardbag with decent filters.

Chris, I am NOT saying I know the ins and outs of a Dyson from watching a video - ALL I said was that the video proved even a Junior picked up more fine dirt than a Dyson.
And for the record, I have used a DC01 so although I don't currently own one I do have some experience.
What is this, a créche ?

Oh you don't have to mention the actual word "Ranger," JM -we all know what you'll be leading up to though.
Respectively, owning and using are two different aspects - but I do wish you'd make up your mind and stop shooting yourself in the foot. First you say you don't own a Dyson and then you judge the performance from another's video. I think we were here before with another thread regarding videos: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?17310
On post 186116 you actually state "you need to actually be there and use it," in reference to actual ownership versus video judgement alone. Later in the same thread you admit you like to Dyson bash.
