One of SWMBO's good friends recently got a new Vacuum. I Bougth her old DC33 off her for scrap value and refurbed it (nothing bloody wrong with it), but we went round there today and I asked if I may have a closer look at her new toy, the most modern Dyson I've seen so far, a DC75 Cinetic Big Ball. She said have a go, so of course I did!
First impressions are it's not too noisy, certainly not a high pitched screamer like some Dysons. The build quality is pleasing too, the DC33 and DC50 are very flimsy I feel, especially around where the wand meets the chassis. It is filthy though, especially behind the cyclone. My DC50 is the same, not sure I like the way the dirt channel connects up to the cyclone on the new ones. The brushroll was ok, but again nothing special. It does work better on the max setting, but was ok on the normal one. Suction was on par with most other Dysons, and I did try to put the wand back in the wrong way round when I wasnt looking at what I was doing!
The whole thing feels a bit meh tbh. It's good, I cant deny that, but judging by the state of it after 2 months I dont hold out much hope for the filterless design, she said they registered the guarantee last month...
I filmed a short clip of me using it in their bedroom. The carpet is ruined, their having a big extension next year so holding out on replacement until then, and have 2 dogs and a child, and live on a farm so fair play, it's gonna get dirty.
Would I feel good about sinking £350 new on one? Jesus no! (my car cost me £350...), but when they start falling into the sub £30 bracket on ebay, I'll happily get one for a teardown!
