Dyson Radial Root Cyclone Doesn't Work Very Well!

[dys0nb0y]

only ever seen this once but that was 2 years old which the filter was never been clean.

 

[marcusprit]

Well with people like you on here I will walk straight out of the door like Steve madabouthoovers did!

 

[alexhoovers94]

I can only speak from my experience of my DC40, I don't have a load of them to test.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Steve got kicked off, he didn't "walk out the door" show how much is between your ears.

 

[marcusprit]

Yeah and I can only speak from my experience which is dismissed as lies. Typical of this site!

 

[marcusprit]

Yeah and I wonder why he got kicked off! Cause of the dickheads on here !

 

[marcusprit]

And I will be kicked off here now and good riddance to you all!

 

[dys0nb0y]

my photos was too show even after 2 years there is still no more dust than yours.

 

[alexhoovers94]

Dramatic much!

Anyway, without all this pitty me crap, I will get back to the topic.

now I have cleaned this DC40, I will use it until the bin is full, then before I empty it, I will take the filter out and photo the inside of the filter housing and if it is still clean then that should prove to me that the dirt is not getting passed/through the filter and it is only happening when the cleaner is emptied.

I have high hopes for this test as a good point was raised on here about the dust going back into the tube upon emptying, I will look forward to the result.

I really don't want to have to send it back because it is a really good machine.

 

[marcusprit]

Haha you don't have to pity me mate. I'm doing very well thanks.

Seems quite strange if the Dyson let fine dust go to the motor.
Here is pictures of my SINGLE cyclone Electrolux UltraPerformer. It doesn't leak any dust after the black foam pre filter. Even when I have vacuumed lots of flour. Foam filter gets dusty quite quickly, but it doesn't allow the dust escape to the another side.

 

[marcusprit]

Anyway you keep spouting your biased nonsense about Dyson. The DC41Mk2 is the best upright i have ever used and i've used lots.

Is a few pictures someone showing how to maintain the Dyson DC 65 and you can see Psycho
Clean.

Alex, I have been able to inspect <span style="font-size: 12pt;">probably hundreds of the new ball series of cleaners after use from consumers and all have shown some dust leakage through the filter. </span>


<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, the dust collects inside the filter and the outside surface is supposed to be clean.</span>


<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Even still, the post motor hepa filter would be capturing anything that gets past.</span>


 


<span style="font-size: 12pt;">My dyson dc59 (cordless) has the same filter setup and after months of use it has not shown the same kind of leakage. I can see some very fine dust has passed through the cyclones, but not through the filter. </span>


<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Alex, you bring up another point about how upon emptying the three separate chambers can contaminate eachother. That is one possibility to explain your experience. But for me, hundreds of machines don't lie, this is a design I have never liked.</span>


 


<span style="font-size: 12pt;">To clarify, I am not a dyson hater. After all, why would I own twelve of them including an almost new model if I didnt like them?</span>


 


<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I think you would find that there are many on this site who liked dysons, most simply dont chime in. By the way, our webmaster is completely impartial and will not ban you for having a different opinion.</span>

I have never ever seen a Dyson leak dust like the one in that members photo. The cyclones filter down to 0.5 microns using centrifugal forces so i'm sorry i don't buy it!

 

[alexhoovers94]

Were those photos taken with a potato, Josh?

 

[dys0nb0y]

i think it's the dyson cinetic that filters down to 5 microns.

 

[dys0nb0y]

maybe when you empty it it contaminates the filter bit and when its turned on all of the dust flings it the side and then sticks to the side because of a static because that part is a cyclone in itself.it probably makes it look worse than it actually is.but i don't know i haven't personally seen it with my dyson or friends dysons just the one[this post was last edited: 2/2/2015-08:15]

My mate had an early DC41 model which he got a few months after it was launched. I had it for a week t have a good use in my home, well to repair (the active base plate was not fitted correctly).
I cleaned it out and the filter area didnt show the dust as bad as this DC40. I got it about a year and a half later when he wanted me to "repair" it. He does maintain it, but not often cos he CBA to. The filter seemed quite clean though too.

Alex, if I were you I would get Dyson to send me a new cyclone and/or filter. Let me know if you got any questions

PS Chris: "What does that tell you? - Big statements for somebody who hasn't been here that long."
I don't really see what that has got to do with it :/

I don't really see what that has got to do with it

That was really directed at Marcus's statement that 90% of us are "biased and snobby". To say he hasn't been here all that long, I doubt very much he's had a chance to speak to every single member. It was a big assumption to make.
