Dyson Piston

[Follettolover]

This isn’t my experience with pets and bagged machine, but I only have 1 dog.

My rough math is one Sebo D4 bag is greater than 56-80 V15 “dumps.” (On week 8, normally weekly V15 cleaning would take 8-10 V15 “dumps,” and I still have room in the first bag) And this isn’t factoring in that I know the Sebo is picking up more stuff than the V15.

Yea but dumping the dyson is free, bags are not and with animals I would definitely consider monetary value, just my personal moral preference

So you guys actually push the vacuums to their limit in your home. Without enough proper care, huh? Got it.

Where are you getting this from?!

I think the same way too. The D4 has a MASSIVE bag for a residential vacuum.

For our home on our hard floors, it is just easier and less messy to vacuum up the dirt and pet hair then use one of those O'Cedar spin mops to mop the floor. Cleaning out one of those wet floor cleaners looks gross. It seems like a way to make a simple chore like mopping the floor expensive and messy.

I use a Vileda spin mop ( the old single chamber type) even though I have a cordless Bissell Crosswave. The Vileda is just a big bucket with a spinny thing build in. The new twin chamber ones put clean water on the brush, spin the brush dry and store the dirty water. Much more simple than an electric thing though.

I can still get pads, handles, heads, etc for my 10 year old mop.

That Vileda spin mop looks just like our O'Cedar spin mop. Wouldn't surprise me if they are sold under several different names. Yeah, they work good.

I love that I can wash the pad.

Filters and battery packs are not free. A pack of bags is like $10 every year. Most people go several months on one bag. I am not sure what it is with this generation thinking buying bags is day trading on the stock market. One pack of bags is not going to sink your 401k dude.

I have a textured linoleum floor in my kitchen. I vacuum the floor with a canister vac with a soft brush, then dump down ammonia and warm water with a bit of Tide powder mixed in, then have at it with my junky GE floor scrubber and let it do its thing and get all the dirt up out of the grooves and off the surface. I then go over it with several terrycloth mop pads on a knockoff swiffer mop and get all the excess grey water up. I do a final clean with an all purpose spray cleaner and dry rags by hand to finish off any dirt residue. Then I go over it by hand again with vintage bottle of Brite with the teflon in it (which I have to pay dearly for on eBay) and work the wax into the floor and leave it to dry. End result is a pristine floor that reflects a shiny glare and looks very good.

Try not to scrub down to the asbestos! That sounds intense.

I didn't even know about spin mops until visiting relatives in Shanghai. Everyone uses spin mops there but they are very different. The handle works up and down like a plunger in a threaded sleeve that spins the mop in the bucket as you push the handle up and down. With the O'Cedar spin mop a pedal on the bucket spins the basket so the mop handle is solid. Much nicer and so far ours has stood up seven or eight years. Either way it beats the old style mop and bucket with that bit lever to squeeze the water out of the mop.

Back to an earlier topic, my clumsy self just spilt a whole cup of flour (and some!), my Kirby handled it in upright mode. Love to see a Dyson try this statistically unimportant problem.

Common sense.

If a Kirby can handle it, then a Dyson can handle it.

Pah, my stick vacuums have all thrown a fit after brushing one dog. Fine, have it your way, we could crowd-fund raise the $1,800 for a V16, then I will prove I am right. Also, my Kirby happens to still work great and clean really well after that cup of flour. I am using bags from the 90s by the way. Paper, designed for the G4.

Okay, everyone (@vac14012, @cheesewonton, @frickhelm, @centralsweeper63, @Hatsuwr, etc.), I have a big update to my hypothesis. I got Gemini 3 Pro, and like previously I've constantly corrected the AI to get to a fixed conclusion.
The problem still apparently has to do with the connectors, but the proposed fix is now tightening the data pins to fix it, instead of blocking it as the 2.5 Pro version proposed. That old solution isn't considered viable because it would cause communication errors. (Oh, and V16 got firmware update already).

I don't know. @centralsweeper63, I can't really interact with Vacuum Facts directly anymore. It's as if he's banned. And yet I only saw that his profile is there but limited, so... he might be temporarily banned.

I asked @Alan what happened because I'm worried about @Vacuum Facts' account.
