Though I am not a big fan of Dyson moving their manufacturing out of the UK, I have to admit this new bare floor stick vac looks amazing!!!!
The Dyson Hair Screw ( customer screw ) is a blatant copy of a Panasonic power nozzle design that has been around for quite a few years used with both stick vacs and certain Japan market canister vacs. Panasonic's version has two tapered brush rolls attached at each end of the power nozzle, tapering towards the center with a small gap between them. Any hair or fibers work their way down the taper to the center and are sucked up into the suction opening. Attached is a video showing it's development by the engineer at Panasonic responsible for its design.
Yes I am weird for Japan market vacuums. Japan is this parallel universe of innovative, ultra powerful and sometimes just plain strange vacuum cleaners.
Also, my own candidate for the best hand held upholstery brush is the Vorwerk Polsterboy 420. Unlike every other upholstery brush, it uses two counter rotating brush rolls oriented along the axis of the hose rather than 90 degrees to it. You don't push it back and fourth. Rather you sweep side to side and it does the best job of removing cat and dog hair from upholstery of any such attachment I have used.
Which makes me wonder how it's going to prevent loss of suction if it has no cyclonic separation to do it.Im not to sure about the name but it looks really interesting and it’s the first ever Dyson not to have cyclone technology
