No more corded vacuums to be developed by Dyson

[rolls_rapide]

Perhaps the suction is exactly the same as the UK version.

On the other hand, the reason for the 'power nozzle with suction vent', could be because of the thicker, deeper pile of American carpets - where the head might stick or judder on plusher carpets.

I was reading about UK folks' experiences with the UK Dyson cylinder machines - and a lot of them disliked the 'stuck-to-the-carpet' feature - which is now common, due to our EU regulations. The US customers wouldn't tolerate such non-ease of use, hence the possible reason for the slider vent.

The "regulations" mentioned will probably be to do with the American Carpet and Rug Institute tests.

And it's not unknown for genuinely helpful call-centre staff, to inadvertently mangle the truth as they try to explain it.

I've not had any stuck to the carpet issues

Some people will find faults with everything

 

[vacfan1982]

The reviews I've seen are very positive. I'm so impressed with the V8 that I might well get the V10 shortly.

Here is a review. Read what they say in the Verdict at the end.

Dyson V10 technology blurb

I am wondering if Dyson's marketing department has goofed with "altitude sensors"?

Perhaps it should actually be "attitude sensors". As in yaw, pitch, roll - with data gathered by 3D-axis sensors. This way, the machine would know which way it was orientated, with more suction power automatically generated for floor cleaning in order to shift dirt up the extension tube.

Conversely, the sensor could detect the different angles employed by pointing the machine to curtains, pelmets and ceiling corners, and thus reign in the motor speed, as the dirt would be lighter and less kinetic energy would be required to get it into the bin.

Why don't you apply for a job on the Dyson design team

 

[rolls_rapide]

Nah. They wouldn't like my criticisms.

 

[vacfan1982]

Nothing wrong with constructive criticism. Providing it is constructive.

I was watching the Shark Duo Cordless last night, and I can't help feeling that Dyson has missed a trick or two in the design department.

The articulated elbow on the Shark appears to give added flexibility, and the Shark can be left standing - like a standard upright (albeit with the elbow folded).

I do have queries about the use of Lithium Ion batteries in the Shark, especially with that battery technology catching fire in other applications.

 

[vacfan1982]

The Shark is top heavy. I don't like it. I'd much prefer the Dyson.

Hopefully Mark they will at some point! That’s great to hear, cleaning as you go meaning your keeping your home cleaner and on top of the dust and dirt! That’s what the general public are finding having a cordless vacuum cleaner cleaning as you go more frequently as you’ve have that ‘grab and go’. You can see why they are popular and why Dyson has made that bold decision! So your loving your V8 you might get a V10 too!?

I probably wouldn’t regret getting one, I’m sure I’d use it daily! Plus clean areas more often I don’t clean regularly. I’m intrigued by the V10 to say I’ve not owned a bagless or a Dyson vacuum in over 10 years.
They do look a very convenient vacuum and easy to use! Thanks for the tip on the refurb machines too.

That sounds interesting especially coming from James a Dyson, I’ve heard odd comments the battery will last 15 years! Interesting Sir James Dyson is commenting this on a video click. Can I ask Mark where the video was?

 

[vacfan1982]

Here it is Jon . It's only a short one. If that is really true then it makes them a lot better value.

[madaboutsebo]

Thanks Mark. Very impressive if it true like you say and value for money too!

Dysonman1-I just bought one of the Cordless Freedom machines with the detacheable battery-and you are right once you try this vacuum-its strangely addictive-you want to keep going with it-hence the idea of the detachable battery.Will order a spare battery soon.This is one of my "go to " vacuums.The ONLY cordless vacuum that REALLY works.Simplicity has a great machine here!!The vac shop where I got mine from ordered it with cleaning services in mind.

 

[vacfan1982]

If you get a chance Rex try out the V10. I'd be interested to hear your opinion after actual use.

cordless freedom

The volt power nozzle is also based on this design, and it's an awesome power nozzle, I love mine.
I'm not sure if Dyson ever actually had a canister with an electric power nozzle, if they did, it wasn't talked about much, the current models use turbine brushes.

I think there may have been a PN model many years ago but I could be wrong.

I would like to see them introduce one but I can't see it happening now they are investing all into cordless.

 

[sensotronic]

The first Dyson canister with a powerhead was the DC05 Motorhead.

Here is a video from QVC showing a later Dyson with powerhead.

[vacfan1982]

I would like a Dyson cylinder with a PN I've never been much of a fan of turbo brushes. It's the noise they make, so irritating

I wonder why they haven't been popular in the UK? They give the same performance as an upright and they are a lot lighter and easier to.use with tools.

Hey Roger,

That’s a beautiful Dyson pictured, I always loved their earlier use of that lighter Purple and LOVE my Dyson Ball Animal 2 in the darker Purple. Did they make any similar Dyson Canister (Cylinder) vacuums like the one you pictured or in the video? I would have bought one, but the only cylinder Dyson I bought was the DC26 because it was so cute and tiny.. I had to buy it. LOL

Hey Mark.. I totally agree with you on the noise thing. I mentioned in another post how I don’t like the air driven brushrolls, either full sized for canister vacuums or mini air driven brushrolls as attachments for any vacuum. The shrill awful sound most make puts my teeth on edge and bothers my ears. THIS is one reason I wish the USA had the EU ratings labels that list, among other things, the decibel level of each vacuum. I don’t like loud noisy vacuum cleaners.

Anyway, The Dyson Tangle Free Turbine tool and the Miele Air powered mini brushroll are the best for low noise and being very effective. The Sebo air powered attachment is pretty good too. But I have not heard a Quiet full sized air driven brushroll yet.

I was commenting on how much I wish ALL vacuums could include an electric powered mini brushroll like the ones on some Shark vacuums. They are quiet, full powered and the soleplate pivots to keep in contact with what your cleaning.

This brings me to yours and my favorite .. the Dyson V8. Don’t you love how quiet it is Mark? I especially love how well it works as sometimes quiet means under powered or bad performance, but not with the Dyson.

Just my thoughts.. thanks guys.
