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?

 

[dys0nb0y]

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.

 

[turbo500]

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.

 

[dys0nb0y]

and of course dyson testing the machines lots of different things not just dust.

 

[dys0nb0y]

i know many people that save up for a dyson simples.

 

[marcusprit]

Or buy one on credit or qvc. Dysons are big sellers so it can't only be people in posh country houses buying them

 

[turbo500]

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?

 

[dys0nb0y]

you don't know what they test with but they are gonna use more dust

"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.

 

[marcusprit]

And you don't represent the general vacuum buying public when you say "he" what about "She" Tut tut Chris

 

[turbo500]

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.

 

[marcusprit]

Yes yes there are wet/dry VAC's that can pick up liquids but that's a specific kind of vacuum.

 

[dys0nb0y]

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.

"don't burn wood or coal"

Actually, with the high energy prices, it appears there is a shift towards wood-burning stoves.

Whether or not they are good for you is another matter.

[dys0nb0y]

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.

 

[marcusprit]

I thought energy prices were coming down?

 

[marcusprit]

And how many trees are we gonna need to chop down for am increase in wood burning stoves? I'll stick to electric.

 

[rolls_rapide]

"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.

 

[marcusprit]

Anyway its past my bedtime so Nos da to you all

 

[marcusprit]

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
