Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

[vacerator]

Paul, legal etc.

It is legal in south beach where Starina performs with Twyla.
"Bird Cage", 1996.

If I had to

Lug a vacuum up and down stairs, I'd take the James D over a Kirby.

Haha. That's the film with 3 drag queens isn't it? Very appropriate for this site

 

[vacerator]

Drag,

One does like a hint of color now.
I have never done drag. Not only would I need to shave a lot, or use much hair dabilitory cream, it's not my thing. I like to watch it though.

 

[sebo4me]

It's a very funny film. I only dress up in drag on a Friday night. I do a great Shirley Bassey. Hey big spender.

Pixie dust is still  legal with a prescription.   Tinker-bell will be your local contact.  I caution you around Peter-Pan as he has been known to snort the stuff, and then--you do not want to know what happens.


 


Don't let Tink know your useful intentions as she gets a little upset when people go harvesting Fairy wings.  You gotta understand her sensitivity.

Regarding the original topic - "Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency" - who really knows what the engineers are up to? Does anyone track their patents? Even then you probably need to be an insider to have any idea what their engineers are up to. Engineers aren't the only ones involved in getting new products/features to market.

Why do these threads always degenerate into nonsense?


I mean Pixie Dust, Fairy Wings???


 


Let's get back on track and discuss something meaningful.

Why do these threads always degenerate into nonsense?

Well there was a flow to the conversation. 


Exaggeration, sarcasm


 


Poor horsey, poor dead horsey.


 

 

[sebo4me]

Sometimes they start off with nonsense

Vacuum Test - Dyson vs Kirby...

Marcus: If you really want to convince someone as to the best dirt removing vacuum, then you would make a video like this which definitely shows that a ten year old Kirby can out clean a brand new Dyson DC65 fresh out of the box:

[sebo4me]

Hmmmm is he a Kirby salesman by any chance?

 

[sebo4me]

I'm going to buy a used Kirby soon and try it out against my Dyson, Sebo and Miele.
The Kirby might clean better but there won't be a great deal in it. 5% at the most.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Don't they say the lvacuum that goes last always wins!?

 

[sebo4me]

They do Jon which is why it's difficult to prove which cleans better. But I still want to try it for myself

You would expect the Kirby to clean better being a direct air motor but I don't think it will be as much as some say.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Totally agree Paul, why not you go for it let us know what you find when you do.

True, there varying factors too!

Hi Blakaeg

I am doing well thanks! I hope you are also

I actually agree with you, and we all have our opinions lol- I prefer the feel of an older Dyson aswell, but the fragility of them is a bit annoying for me (I had lots of DC07's, Dc04's and DC01's with cracked plastics, but the newer ones are stronger but feel more flimsy. I find that the DC14 is the most well built Dyson vacuum because it feels very solid, and the plastic isn't fragile, the wand is very solid and sturdy but if I were to try and snap it off, it would bend but with extreme force

Regarding the DC50, funnily enough my cousin bought a new 700w DC50 and it's good but the wand handle is horrible, literally the longer something it, the more flexible it's going to be, right? The DC50 is the perfect example
I like the Small ball, looks like a better built machine

Oh and FYI guys, the video above with the Riccar brilliance, the new Dysons can agitate as well as that can, if not better.

No matter how good a Kirby can clean, I would still pick my DC41 Mk2. It deep cleans perfectly fine and we don't have thick carpets anyway. I ahve only one and it still does well on that. At least the DC41 Mk2 looks modern and doesn't need the cleaner head taking off too fit the hose, I can use it within the blink of an eye and I just love the colours. Kirbys are very inconvenient for British homes and homes in the UK are getting smaller now! We need smaller vacuums. Kirbys are fantastic for American homes because they are huge because America has WAY more land than the UK does so you can have bigger houses as a benefit.

In the vs videos it's funny how in all of them they either use a broken or a 2 3 4 8 10 year old model or a inferior model,and in kode1996 video the Kirby is in the back and it's a sentria 2.
