Dyson RIP OFF
The Infinity is a joke. Mostly because it isn't possible for the machine to work properly.
Our Club Dyson works properly, as we show at EVERY meeting, because the tapered cyclones prevent the fine dust from cloggin the pre-motor filter. In fact, our CLUB Dyson has sucked up more of our test dirt than ANY vacuum cleaner EVER brought to a convention, and STILL has the same superior suction it did the day Mr. Dyson sent it to us.
The cyclones NEED to be tapered. Infinity does NOT taper their cyclones (which would infringe on Dyson patents) so the machine cannot effectively filter fine dust. The TEST DIRT we (VCCC) use at our convention would immediately CLOG out the Infinity.
One of the things we do at Mini Meets during the year, is to try out different sweepers using the club's recipe for "Test Dirt" (the same recipe we use for test dirt at the conventions). Two parts dried Capture, one part talc, one part fine sand.
At the upcoming St. Louis gathering in December (first weekend), any VCCC member who attends will get a HANDS ON look at the new bagless uprights, and will get to test them to their heart's content. We'll ask them to inhale the same 10 ounces of our club's Test Dirt, and see which ones clog, which ones blow dust from the exhaust, and which ones just blow up. Then we'll hang the losers in trees and shot them with shotguns. Then, we'll try to return them to the store. How much fun is that going to be? (all said very tounge in cheek)
