No filter maintenance? DC54.

[baglessball]

I'm looking forward to this!

I wonder what you guys will make of it..

Another innovative move by Dyson! Looks awesome! But the price? Hmmm...

 

[madabouthoovers]

It seems this is only available in Australia, and it sells there for 899AUD, which is £516, or 802 USD.


If its £500 when we get it here, I wont be buying one in a hurry! Is there no limit to James Dyson's greed?


There will no doubt be people here who will be dying to pay James this amount of money so they don't have to clean a filter every few months. This DC54 is definitely a toy for the rich.

That look's great! I can't see myself buying one in the future though with that price!

how about providing a way to clean the filthy cyclone assemb

why not design the assembly so that it can be cleaned occasionally?

 

[beko1987]

Can't open the link, but I can imagine Vacuumland 2023 - 'Just picked a DC54 up from the kerb, utterly ruined as the filters not been touched in 10 years. New filters, stripdown and cleanup and it's good as new etc'

theres dc01s thatnever had a filter wash but still have 90 AW

 

[turbo500]

The DC01 was the WORST of the lot for filter clogging. One of the major modifications on the DC04 and something that made the cleaner a LOT better was the resigned filters.

I'm pleased to see Dyson are, at the very least, trying to reduce the maintenance on their cleaners. Hopefully these new ones might last a bit longer as I know plenty of Dyson uses who threw out their cleaners just because it "wasn't sucking" and needed a filter clean.

A great idea, lets see how well it works. These will come down in price pretty rapidly. Dyson's usually do.

 

[ultraperformer]

That looks really good if they come on offer I might just be tempted!

i just found out that they will be released dyson dc54 in uk i am more interested in the Samsung VC20F70UKGC UV Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner the dyson it looks really interesting what word made it perfect is the digital motor

 

[jmurray01]

I wonder what drug Mr Dyson was on when he came up with that sales pitch? I bet you the filters DO need cleaning, because if they don't, then why are they even there? I mean, if they will never get dirty then there must be no dirt to catch, so why have a filter when there is nothing TO filter?

 

[vintagerepairer]

A missed point

is that clogged filters are one reason why a Dyson cleaner will be discarded in favour of a newer model. So many consumers never, ever wash the filters and then replace the whole cleaner. Even when washed, some filters are good for nothing and require replacement.

So, without this built-in "failure device", the cynic within me simply has to question what else Dyson will be doing to ensure their new machines continue to breakdown in a timely fashion so as to necessitate a future purchase.

"if they will never get dirty then there must be no dirt to catch, so why have a filter when there is nothing TO filter?"

I like that.

 

[dysonman1]

"No bag, No Filter, No Loss of Suction". Wow. James just invented a 1946 Rainbow.

 

[jmurray01]

Ha ha ha, that brought a smile to my face!!

See the You Tube video link.

The cyclone assembly has a row of osscolating, silicon cyclones that mean the fine dust that hits them immediately drops out and back into the cyclone assembly, so fine dust is continually recirculated through the cyclone until you switch the cleaner off, when the dust simply falls to the bottom of the bin.

The cleaner has no pre-motor filter

 

[sebo_fan]

Thing is, Dyson could just use acetate instead of silicone or any other flexible material - what would have to be proved is that over a course of usage if dust really falls through and doesn't stick to the material. The slightest moisture in the air could affect dust to stick, or dust that itself is sticky to begin with. Yet again though its a good idea in theory, its more of this marketing push for consumers to care about how dust is captured.

 

[blackheart]

wait....what?

"The cyclone assembly has a row of osscolating, silicon cyclones that mean the fine dust that hits them immediately drops out and back into the cyclone assembly, so fine dust is continually recirculated through the cyclone until you switch the cleaner off, when the dust simply falls to the bottom of the bin.

The high efficiency cyclones drop the dirt back into the low efficiency cyclone?

 

[gmerkt]

Without having seen one of these machines, I'm highly skeptical of the "dust falls to the bottom" theory. I've seen the failure of this idea in other products. The Hoover WT2 bagless, several versions of the Hoover cyclonic filtration system, Bissell Healthy Home, etc.

Dust doesn't always behave in predictable patterns. Moisture content in the ambient air will cause it to stick. Some materials are sticky by nature, say for example, spices. Yes, consumers do vacuum up spilled curry, cinnamon, etc. Then in the absence of moisture in the air, the effect of static electricity comes into play. All the while, there is the force of vacuum at work.

As has been previously voiced above, I have yet to see one of these cyclonic baffles that disassembled anything like easily. I also have yet to see one of these that was even close to clean after use. Thus the requirement for disassembly.
