Dyson Radial Root Cyclone Doesn't Work Very Well!

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.

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

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!
 
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.
 
Been on here nearly 2 years and it maybe a big assumption but i doubt it's an incorrect assumption. If people want to hate Dyson that's up to them it's a free world but when they talk nonsense about Dyson i will come on here and give my experience of Dyson but being as i'm a complete muppet with no understanding or education you don't have to listen to me.
 
<blockquote>
Well with people like you on here I will walk straight out of the door like Steve madabouthoovers did!


</blockquote>
Steve was made to leave. He didn't walk. Completely different situation, Marcus.


 


Lets just get the record completely straight here. Whilst I don't agree with you on Dyson and find your ability to accept the flaws of the machine baffling, I don't for a second think that makes you a bad person or think less of you as a person for it. Steve resorted to name calling and sending nasty private messages to people who disgreed with him. For me, disagreeing is part of what makes this place so interesting and having a place to discuss and debate stuff like this is brilliant.


 


So whilst I think you're wrong, it doesn't mean I automatically think negatively of you and I'd hate for you to think I did. Heck, me and Alex disagree ALLLLL the time but we've been friends for a long time now.


 


Please don't take it so personally.
 
Yes well i haven't seen dust leaking like in Alex's photos so how can i agree with them? And i don't know about Steves nasty messages he seems a nice guy to me and very knowledgeable but hey different strokes for different folks.

And maybe i do take things too personally but that's the way i am. It's a dog eat dog world especially when you're self employed, theres a lot of electricians out there touting for work luckily i just got a contract with a big development company :)
 
It may be dog eat dog in your work world, but this isn't your work world. Don't really see what relevance that had to be honest, but nevermind.


 


Honestly, you shouldn't take it so personally. Like I said, me and Alex disagree all the time, particularly about cylinders and Electrolux because they're both BETTER THAN HOOVER but that doesn't mean I dislike him or that we're not friends. On the contrary, we're pretty good friends.


 


So, rest assured, you're not thought any less of for liking Dyson.


 


Right, I'd best run before Alex throws something heavy at me...;)
 
Is a picture of my Dyson DC59 you can see it completely fall and the filter is still clean is no dust buildup and mine is about one year-old now. Would show pictures of my Dyson DC 55 don't have any more as and waiting for the new kinetic to go down in price

Oh absolutely and believe me, I could write the book on fighting your own fight, but it's different on here to "real life". Healthy debate would be a good way to describe it.

Christopher, I will give you a right old clout one of these days! :)

Good greif, the full name came out! Mother, is that you?


 


We both know cylinders are better, Alex - you're just in the denial ;)
 
When you have to fight for everything...

Which excludes Steve because his parents funded his money for his entire vacuum cleaner collection.

And he failed to tell them about it.

Different strokes indeed. The problem with Steve was that he was actually a pretty decent guy to speak with at first. But soon as others began to disagree with him, he chucked his toys out of his pram and started being quite nasty. Not only did he send abusive private messages to members, he also faffed about with the password change on here which caused a bit of negativity for members in general.
 
Steve is financially stable and pays for his vacuums though, like why would a grown man make his parents pay for his vacs? Lol

I am sure I disagreed with Steve in the past, like once when I made a thread on my new DC01. He thought all DC01's used an Ametek motor, but I said they also had YDK. Did he have a fit? No, he accepted the fact.

Steve is a decent bloke and is very kind! I find I weird how I am a teenager and I get along with him. Two adults cant even get on though? WTH?
Am I being the role model now? Cos an adult is meant to be the role model of the younger person.
 
Tayyab - he is always nice to the younger males which has often made me feel queezy. He has his fans.

One only needs to do an archive thread to see how abusive he got - if those threads have not been removed, well you just have to take other's word for it. Quite a few members INCLUDING U.S members got the brunt of Steve's immaturity.
 
Sorry Tayyab, that's not true.


 


Steve refused to work because of (as he put it) "foreigners stealing jobs". He refused to claim benefits because he found it degrading. His parents were paying for his house and giving him money to live off, which he was then spending on vacuums and having to hide them when his parents visited so they didn't find out.


 


He was fine to talk to until you dared to disagree with him. Quite frankly, as a junior member, I'm suprised you talk to him at all as he once remarked that all younger people should be beaten until they learn to agree with their elders.
 
I actually talked to him a lot, and I find him very good. However what I don't get is where you even got this info from cos come on, hide vacuums in his bedroom . They are like right next to his bed.

I have said this before and will said it again, Steve is a good guy! Atleast he treats ppl well. When I corrected him that when the DC01 also had a YDK motor, he accepted the fact and honestly from the heart I think he is a very good man
 
Marcus, he's nicer to the younger members of VL like me & Tayyab. He used to Facebook message me all the time.

I always thought he was a decent enough bloke but after reading the info about him I feel quite disgusted.
 
Oh I don't know about all that so I can't comment. I like his videos on YouTube he is very knowledgeable I doubt he's as bad as people make out. We all lose our rag sometimes. You need the patients of a saint on here! Haha
