No more corded vacuums to be developed by Dyson

[madaboutsebo]

I’ve read it they are to stop developing corded vacuums after 25 years of being in business developing corded machines..... ? Or does it mean within the next 25 years!

I think your right there the main market will be cordless and robotic.

 

[sensotronic]

Oh yes, I read it wrong. Oh well I am nearly 50 and my brain cells have been killed off by all the dust I've inhaled. Well then, it looks like I will have to start panic buying corded Dyson's then.

 

[sensotronic]

Hopefully Dyson will start to produce a more traditional looking corded upright and cylinder model and not just focus on the hand held stick variety.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Well it had me reading the article several times after and got me thinking! Don’t worry easily done I’m always doing it, I don’t think the article is worded correctly to be honest. In fact other articles on the subject are worded the same. Lol what you like, well you have done lots of demos with lots of dust but I’m sure it’s not effected your brain ;-)

You will do, be interesting as to when they will phase out their current corded machines!

You’d hope they would!

And I'm sure the battery packs will be sealed inside the machines so they can't be replaced, further ensuring a frequent replacement cycle. Sorry, but I refuse to play that game.

I knew something was up last night as I couldn’t log into my Dyson account due to website maintenance. Lol

I also noticed some price changes on some of the cordless model parts.. the replacement Cyclone and Bin for my V8 are a bit cheaper. If the V10 drives the V6, V7 & V8 Prices down that would be great.

But ok.. I’ve got to say something... $699 bucks!! So seven hundred dollars.. I could buy a great Miele corded Canister or Upright.. I could buy a Sebo Felix corded Upright... I can even buy a Riccar SupraLite Cordless Full Sized Upright for the same price and I’m betting it performs better, at least on carpeting... bare floors, the Fluffy is pretty decent.

Thanks to all of you sharing info and links.. I thought I’d post a few pics from the USA Dyson website for fun.

Just another case of a company telling you how to live your life, what you can and cannot have. You are no longer free to think for yourself, your thoughts and life is now owned by Sir Dyson.

Sorry I'll keep using my Dyson DC07 that I got off the side of the road for free.

I just find it ironic that all these "save the environment" people that push companies to do this keep promoting battery power, which when used in vacuums cleans worse, is weaker, and pollutes the air twice as much by the Chinese battery factories more than a traditional power plant ever would.


If you want to know how fun it is repairing cordless vacuums, try buying a battery pack for one of these little guys.

With this news, I just treated myself to a vacuum I have been on the fence about buying for years: a Dyson Cinetic Allergy (the chrome-topped one). The price has always held me back, but with the factory refurbished ones going for more than 72% off from the official Dyson Outlet on Ebay and the onset of this news, I took the plunge. It's on its way as we speak.

Stay tuned.

@broomvac

Congratulations! You made a good choice, the Cinetic is a good vacuum and if you saw Roger Lang’s (ibaisaic) recent Dyson Video, the refurbished Dyson vacuums literally look Brand New! Rogers had all new parts, new cyclone, new bin, all new filters etc. he was very impressed! I attached the link and even though his refurbished Dyson was a totally different model, he said Dyson do excellent refurbs. He also had his Dyson Cinetic as his “Vacuum of the month” this February and it was amazing to see ALL that it vacuumed up in 30 days. Check out his Cinetic video in his “Dyson” playlist on YouTube.

You should really enjoy it and have fun when it arrives.. I hope you can share pics with us, when it arrives.. So much fun.

Thanks for sharing! I attached pics of mine for fun.. I’ve had mine for a couple years and recently got it out of my Vacuum Storage to use. Enjoy!

Hey HonestJoe68

Thank you! I'll admit, Roger somewhat inspired me to make this purchase, too. I enjoy following his channel and have seen the videos you speak of.

The Cinetic I purchased is the same "edition" as the one he has. I was impressed (but not at all surprised) by the performance of his Cinetic upright, and seeing that video put the idea of getting one back into my head. Then I saw his clip about factory refurbished Dysons and was convinced that if I was going to get a Cinetic, getting a refurbished one would be the way to go.

Incidentally, I also have a refurbished Fantom Thunder which I stumbled upon in a thrift shop. Years ago, it was rebuilt in Buffalo, NY, the same city my Dyson is coming from! Maybe these cleaners have been redone by the same people? Wouldn't that be cool? Two "Dysons," made years apart, both brought back to life by the same people!

I really like your Cinetic. Is that a Multi Floor? That is going to be a very rare cleaner someday, if not already. The Multi Floor is not a mainstream 'flavor' of the Cinetic as it is, so the matte silver one is certainly an oddball. Did you get that on Amazon? I think that is the only place I have seen them available. Thanks for sharing!

@broomvac

I actually received my Cinetic directly from Dyson as a gift for my loyalty. I owned at one point, 20 Dyson vacuums and three Fans and the Hot & Cool with Jet Focus. Dyson have been very kind to me and I’ve been given three free vacuums so far, a V6 Absolute, the Cinetic “Big Ball Multi Floor Exclusive” and a DC65 Animal. Dyson always gives me free expedited shipping and a discount on my purchases.

So anyway, it arrived at my house not long after they hit the market and I wasn’t even expecting it. So I was flabbergasted to say the least. I’ve kept the box and don’t run it much as I’m saving it for good. I’m not sure who sold them in this matte finish silver either?. I never saw one in the stores before mine showed up. I do know there is also a dark reddish burgundy color as well as the typical Blue and Purple Cinetic versions.

Mine came with every tool too, a separate box arrived and it had every single tool beyond what was packaged with my Cinetic. In a way I kinda wish they hadn’t sent me the Cinetic as I’d have loved to get the New V10.. I emailed my customer service friend to ask her if there’s a chance I can get one, but I’m Not holding my breath Lol. I’ve only bought two this year, my Ball Animal 2 (Purple) and Small Ball Multi Floor in Gold with the top tier of cyclones being the graphite grey. So I’ve slowed way down and they probably want me to buy more first.

Have fun with your new Cinetic and please post pics.. I can’t wait to see if you love it! Have fun and thanks for the questions.

The new V10 looks very nice, and I've been a Dyson cordless fanatic since the DC16, which I bought 10 years ago. So far I've owned the DC16, the DC35 (their first stick vacuum, which I saw as revolutionary), the DC59 Animal, the V6 Absolute, and my current V8 Absolute. As I've upgraded, I've sold my previous-gen models to friends, who have all been happy with them.

Going all-cordless, although very bold, has me worried. My main concern is planned obsolescence. For instance, although my friends were happy with the DC16, it eventually simply disappeared from their house, once the battery no-longer held a charge. I'm sure my old DC35 is overdue for a new battery as well. Once the batteries wear out, like with phones and laptops, you're at the mercy of the manufacturer (or third party) to hopefully continue to produce the parts to keep it going.

My other concern is that some of Dyson's current uprights are awesome, and clean much better on carpeting than any of their cordless vacuums. Although my V8 is a fantastic and versatile machine, it doesn't deep-clean carpeting nearly as well as most of Dyson's current uprights, or most good corded vacuums in general. I can already tell their bold cleaning claims will get a smackdown in comparison tests, against most "conventional" vacuums.

I like cordless, but I like the reliability and longevity of a corded machine as well. It'll be a huge bummer if Dyson phases out corded machines completely.

 

[vacfan1982]

The V10 has 140 air watts in max mode which compares very well with corded uprights..in max mode it will last 10 mins. In standard mode around 30 mins. But as I said this will get better and better over the coming years.

You have to admire Dyson technology

 

[tolivac]

I have the simplicity Freedom cordless and the same thing under Aerus-Lux.These are the ONLY cordless machines I like.I have the Greenworks 60V mower and the Kobalt 80V one.Both work well.I would think if it could be done with mowers-why not vacuums?And also have the Kobalt 80V leafblower and weedeater trimmer.

 

[vacfan1982]

If you use a non powered tool such as a crevice, dusting or upholstery tool it will last 60 mins.

 

[madaboutsebo]

Dyson need to be careful when answering rubtimes to people asking as one reply to someone on their Facebook Page was this.......

“Keeping in in mind that the MAX suction setting is designed for use with tough cleaning jobs, Dyson V10 will provide up to 6 minutes when used in the MAX suction setting. Please also note, however, that this mode would essentially not be needed very often, thanks to the suction slider at the cleaner head. This allows you to adjust the suction power at the cleaner head for various cleaning around your home.

Dyson V10 will provide up to 20 minutes in suction setting 2 and up to 30 minutes in suction setting 1, when used with a motorized floor tool. Otherwise, you can expect up to 60 minutes of run time when used with any other non-motorized attachments.”

Maybe I’m off target here, but has Dyson figured out a way to process their old batteries without harming the environment? The whole trend toward cordless appliances is producing tons of toxic batteries that eventually must be properly recycled. This can’t be good for the waste management departments of our cities. I would love to see how Dyson proposes to deal with all those batteries that eventually must be thrown away.

It reminds me of the dreamy promises made by the computer industry about futuristic “paperless offices”. With cheap ink tank printers available to buy, I think we are definitely dumping more paper into the waste bin then ever before. And what are all those ink tanks and laser printer cartridges doing to our land fill dumpsites? Even the warehouses of computer equipment needed for our use of the internet and digital communucations needs lots of electricity to keep them cooled and air conditioned. Maybe this need to cool all those servers and computer rooms is a major contributor to “global warming”?

If the young generation is so concerned about environmental issues, they may need to reduce their hunger for appliances and machines that help them speed things up as they try to get things done faster in the rat races of the world. Life in the “fast lane” does have its downsides.

It would be great if James Dyson could show me how he proposes to process all those complicated batteries from his cordless machines when they need to be thrown away.

 

[vacfan1982]

What about all those bags that are thrown away? That is a substantial amount over a nation going to landfill.

 

[vacfan1982]

Personally I prefer bagged cleaners but they do have an affect on the environment.

 

[eurekaprince]

Indeed, but those paper and cloth bags are filled mostly with dust and are probably not as toxic as the batteries going into the landfills. They also probably get compressed into a half of their size in the landfills. The dirt dumped from a bagless vacuum still has to go into a garbage bag which is usually plastic. So you still have a bag of dirt going into a landfill...plus all those extra foam filters needed in bagless vacuums.
