Dyson Radial Root Cyclone Doesn't Work Very Well!

[turbo500]

Alrighty then, ignore what I've said. Admittedly, despite using DC40 and DC41's on multiple occaisions and twice in my home AND spent the last 10 years dismantling, rebuilding, refurbing and investigating hundreds of vacuums, my view clearly isn't important because I don't own one.


 


So, lets go back to the original post by a fellow member who also has spent years doing the same and who also OWNS the DC40 (unlike me OR you), has been using in his own home and has found a dust leak. As is evident by the photo posted by Josh above, it's not just limited to his vacuum. Now how are you going to argue that?

 

[marcusprit]

That's not my experience. The cyclones are excellent Dyson have improved them year after year. They are not suddenly going to take a step backwards in fact they are making a step forward with Cinetic so I disagree Alex I dunno what you've done with your Dyson but as you can see from my photos that is not my experience.

It is dust blowing back up the tube when the bin is emptied it is not dust escaping from the cyclones. As I've said I go by my own experience and that is not happening on my cleaner and I've also spoken to olive oil and he hasn't found that either! And I'm sure many other Dyson owners will say the same.

 

[alexhoovers94]

I haven't done anything with it apart from use it normally.

Also, if mine is dusty and the Josh photoed is dusty but yours isn't how could I possibly believe you? It is two against one.

by the way, you would think thw ducting on mine was clean too, if it wasn't for the fact I put the flash on to show it up, the camera doesn't lie.

 

[marcusprit]

I would say this is a 90% biased site against dyson. I could compile a list of thousands of very happy Dyson users in fact I think I should start a website for dyson lovers

It is dust blowing back up the tube when the bin is emptied

An interesting theory. But regardless of which is correct, it's still dust that's getting past the filter and blowing back out again.


 


Doesn't Oli have a DC41mk2, not a 40 or a 41?

 

[marcusprit]

My camera doesn't lie either and neither do I. Have a chat with olive oil if you want another opinion.

90% biased site against dyson

There's a good reason for that. If you've got a site with over 1500 vacuum collectors/enthusiasts on it and 90% of them don't like Dyson, what does that tell you?

 

[alexhoovers94]

The dust near the bottom of the cyclone will be dust that has stuck to it statically from emptying the bin. The dust in the filter housing though, isn't. If it had gone back up the tube after emptying it would be like little specs of dust but this is smeared onto the filter housing which tells me that dust is getteing past the filter or through it.

 

[marcusprit]

There is no difference in the design of the cyclones on the new Dc40 and Dc41 mk2 They filter the dust extremely well. You can choose to believe the truth or not I really don't care. I know what works for me.

 

[alexhoovers94]

How can yoy say that when two other people have experienced the cyclones not capturing this fine dust. Dyson should just throw in the towel, he is not getting.anywhere, the cyclone on this 40 is no better than the 01 it seems

 

[turbo500]

You can choose to believe the truth or not

What makes you think that it's you speaking the truth? I've known Alex for a lot of years now, why should I believe you over him?


 


There's also the fact that you're outnumbered. You might not have had found this issue, but there's 2 photo's above of 2 different machines owned by 2 different people and used in 2 different houses - both displaying the same problem.


 


Statistically, it's you that appears to be talking rubbish, Marcus.

 

[marcusprit]

It tells me they hate Dyson cause they brought out bagless which lead to the decline of bagged machines and dyson outsell them in their hundreds of thousands. What does that tell you?

 

[marcusprit]

Like I said on a site that is 90% biased. On a less biased less snobby site you will get a different view about Dyson which have more satisfied customers than any other brand.

 

[alexhoovers94]

I won't send it back just yet. I have blasted all the dust out the cyclone assembly with my G4 and then wiped the whole thing out, including the filter housing, I have washed the bin out and washed the filters. When that has all dried, I will put it back together and test it for another week of normal use and see wheater it was just a fluke (doubt it was). I will post pictures again in a weeks time to show you what the results are. Fingers crossed!

 

[marcusprit]

Listen I really don't care if you think I'm speaking the truth or not I've seen with my own eyes and that's all I need to know not the biased rubbish spouted on here. You all have closed blinkered minds!

 

[marcusprit]

Why don't you call an engineer out to see if there's a problem before you rubbish the machine? That's wat I'd do.

 

[turbo500]

What does that tell you?

Big statements for somebody who hasn't been here that long.


 


Between us, we are the experts. There is nobody in the world that knows as much about vacuums as the members of this forum combined. And if 90% of us, as you seem to think, dislike Dyson cleaners, I'd say that gives a pretty damn good indication of the overall reputation of the brand and it's performance.


Do you honestly think that the members of this forum who have openly criticised Dyson have just pulled this opinion completely out of their a$$ or something?  


 


And if you honestly think we're all biased and snobby, you know where the door is.

 

[marcusprit]

Don't know if you can see this very well but a very tiny speck of dust after 4 months. Not bad eh

 

[dys0nb0y]

i know a few people have got dyson dc40 and they haven't had this problem.
