Have you used it, Marcus? Infact, has anyone on here?

Given the evidence in this thread about Dyson's false claims, I'm very surprised that people are so willing to believe the claims that Dyson are making about the Cinnetic without trying it out for themselves first.
 
I've tried the cylinder version that's been out a while now. Only on a demo but I've heard good things about it and don't forget there are a huge amount of happy Dyson customers out there who are loyal to the brand. I admit it's early days for the big ball but I'm confident it will be a winner providing the price comes down.
 
Well there is no filter to wash, so even if fine dust does go to the motor, Dyson would be concerned and add a filter. Did they though? No, so it is very very unlikely that fine dust would go to the motor
 
People are making comments about the DC41 Mk11 without ever using it. And why would you have to take the cyclones apart?You can tell by the performance.
 
Imagine this scenario...

Mr & Mrs Smythe own a country house, with wood-burning stoves / fireplaces. They also own the Dyson Cinetic (upright or cylinder, it doesn't matter which).

In the course of daily use, the fireplaces accumulate ash. Maintenance of which requires disposal of the ash, creating dust, soot, etc.

What would happen if the Cinetic machines were used daily in this case? I don't think they would perform as Dyson claims. I think they would clog relatively quickly, with the exhaust filter becoming clogged. I don't think that Dyson has thought this through - and just remember - at those prices, the only people who will be able to afford the machines are the ones with fancy country homes and wood-burning stoves.
 
i disagree with youi don't think that's not fair saying people with country homes can afford them as that complete rubbish as people save up for them.and i think if a person has fireplace they will learn from their mistakests as if they need a new vacuum the old one probably broke for the ash so i think they would not do it again and i think they would buy one of those things you attach to your vacuums i can pick up things like that.
 
Haha only people who live in country homes? Wait till it comes on QVC over here and watch them fly :-) And there will be offers on the price. I got my dyson for just over £300 with 6 tools.
 
My point is...

...that Dyson presumes that everyone uses their cleaner to suck up ordinary household "dust" only. Which is, of course, a somewhat short-sighted outlook.

We all know that people use their machines to clear up after diy, building work, accidental spillages, etc.

Dyson should be engineering their machines to cope with these extreme cases, rather than placing cop-out disclaimer labels upon the cleaners. Simples.
 
If it doesn't suit your needs don't by it. Simples :-) And don't burn wood or coal as it is very polluting to the atmosphere. Remember the days of smog?
 
you shouldn't up plaster dust in with any vacuum cleaner.no one's gonna pick up liquids with a vacuum cleaner that's just silly. and if you look in the manual most machine say not to pick up plaster dust and certain materials.
 
as people save up for them

Not true. You might save up, but you don't represent the general vacuum buying public. Average Mr. Smythe isn't going to feel the need to save up for a specific vacuum, he'll just replace it when his old one breaks.
 
Or buy one on credit or qvc. Dysons are big sellers so it can't only be people in posh country houses buying them :-)
 
dyson testing the machines lots of different things not just

says who? The legal requirements that Nar posted only mention using artificial dust. Where is you evidence that Dyson use more than dust for testing?
 
"no one's gonna pick up liquids"

You wrongly assumed it was liquids. I said "accidental spillages", which can pertain to a dropped bag of icing sugar, flour, talcum powder et al.

Oh, and vacuum cleaners can indeed suck up water: witness the Vax 121, Hoover Aquamaster, Electrolux Masterlux, Goblin Aquavac.
 
And you don't represent the general vacuum buying public when you say "he" what about "She" Tut tut Chris
 
i don't need proof is common sense

You do if you're going to make comments like that on here and state them as a fact. You've no evidence to show what Dyson uses for their testing at all.


 


Marcus, I was following on from Callum's earlier example using Mr. Smythe. Mrs. Smythe is probably off having an affair somewhere.
 
ok then i thought you meant liquids.and every vacuum is going to do fine with accidental spills.any vacuum can pick up icing sugar flour and talcum powder.
 
and yes you don't know what vacuum companies ghana use in a test but i suspect they are going to use more than dust.
 
And how many trees are we gonna need to chop down for am increase in wood burning stoves? I'll stick to electric.
 
"any vacuum can pick up icing sugar flour and talcum pow

Yes, and pass it right through the cyclone system to coat the final filter - the filter which is not user maintainable, nor replaceable.

Remember, Dyson previously stated that different cyclone designs captured different sized particles. So presuming this still to be the case, Cinetic machines will still allow some particles through to the final filter. This filter will clog over time.
 
Calum it's probably best to wait and see how people get on with over a period of time before you make assumptions. Dyson are not as stupid as you may think :-)
