Power Nozzle Dyson Canisters

[vacmaster]

Seems they exist in Japan. Shame they can't be made elsewhere as they would clean much better than the normal turbo nozzles, which are a sad excuse for a cleaner head.

power nozzle dyson

For the price they charge for their canister vacuums, they should include an electric power nozzle, turbine nozzles are a joke and will never clean as good as an electric brush. You might be able to rig something up to use an electric power nozzle with a Dyson, but you should not have to do that. Put their antitangle turbine nozzle next to something like a Lindhaus, Wessel Werk, Sebo, Riccar or centec electric power nozzle and I guarantee you the turbine nozzle would be left in the dust, literally.

There Was At Least One...

I know of a variant of the Dyson DC05, called the DC05 Motorhead. The motor brush was used for the Zorb powder. The brush had three settings. The first was brush with no suction, (for grinding in the powder) setting two is brush with suction and setting three is suction only.

I know

There just has not been one for a very long time. There were motorhead variants later than the DC05 as well.

hose size

Does anyone know what the hose size is for Dyson canisters? Is it the standard 35 mm or 32 mm? Or is it something nonstandard? Would be interesting to pair a Dyson canister with an electric nozzle, though you would have to get a separate electric cord to run it. Try vacuuming something like cat litter out of a carpet with Dyson's turbine nozzle, I bet anything it would jam or clog it.

Could you use the Zorb with a Kirby rug shampooer brush (dry)? Then vacuum as usual?

Interesting experiment--maybe someone out there who has a Dyson canister or upright-could try a Volt powernozzle with the Dyson.To me the Volt powernozzle beats them all!Have Sebo,Lindhaus-like the Volt much better.

dyson with a volt

That would be an interesting experiment, wonder what the hose size is on a Dyson, especially something like the cinetic? The volt is definitely a great nozzle, not only do you have a motorized brush, but you have the direct air fan as well. I remember trying that nozzle at the museum last year, it cleans very well even when not attached to a vacuum which of course really isn't productive, but it does demonstrate the cleaning power that nozzle has. Combine that with a canister or central vacuum and you have a great cleaner for sure.

The only Dyson canisters that used standard 1 1/4 inch hose ends, were the DC02 and DC05. Both UK models (I have some very rare ones in the collection, such as the ReCyclone and the Antarctica Solo).

I have hooked them up to a Volt power nozzle. Since those models use 240 volts, the suction is outstanding - similar to many high powered central vacs. The Volt makes the Dyson a "tandem-air" cleaner and it works splendidly.

In the 120 volt machines, the DC21, DC22, and DC23 models had electric power nozzles. The DC22 is very rare, with its digital motor (I love mine), the DC21 and DC23 Motorhead models were much better selling machines. They do not use standard size wands nor openings, and cannot (to my knowledge) be hooked up to any other machine.

Dyson universal tool adaptor

Here is one adaptor for Dyson. However they don't mention is it 32mm or 35mm. Most likely 32mm

220 volt vacuums

Kind of makes me wonder if most of the 220 volt vacuums are more powerful than what we have here in the states. I know 220 volts is more efficient, and it pulls less amperage. I would never consider getting any vacuum where I could not use standard attachments. I don't mind using an adapter, but the ability to use standard tools is a high priority, at least for me anyway.

 

[henrydreyfuss]

In the US, there have been two canister models with powered nozzles: the DC21 and DC23 Motorhead. They remain the best cleaning Dyson canisters ever sold in the US for carpet cleaning.

I own a new model Dyson canister (the non-Cinetic model, which has a pre-motor filter), and while I like the canister unit itself, I was quickly fed up with the stock hose, wand, and turbine nozzle. I made an adapter that converts the latest Dyson tool connection, to work with most generic setups. This has greatly added to both the versatility and usability of the vacuum.

My preferred setup is to add Tacony's awesome 12' hose, and use a Turbocat nozzle, offering great cleaning coverage. The Dyson has plenty of suction to do a good job cleaning with this setup, plus it's a pleasure to not have to pull the weight of the vac around, every time you take a step.

 

[tolivac]

220-240V vacuums--What amperage does the 220V Dyson take?For a rough equivelant-a 5A 240V motor would be about equal to a 10A 120V one.

 

[n0oxy]

making adapter

How did you make an adapter to use standard attachments? It drives me nuts when manufacturers use nonstandard hose sizes, especially when there is no good reason to do so, certainly no benefit to the consumer, perhaps it benefits the manufacturer because you are limited to using only their attachments.

My way

I have done several powerteams from the straight suction canisters. Reason is simply that powerteam canisters are VERY rare in the Finland and selection in the eBay UK or Germany (same voltage) is slim also. Importing from the US is extremely costly and voltage is different.
This seen in the pictures was especially important for me because this Philips Performer Pro is extremely powerful. It pulls 9 from the baird air flow meter and suction is 500 airwatts. Now it has Wessel Werk 340 from the HYLA vacuum.

Rex
Most 220v motors pull about 5 to 7 amps. Its not somthing thats advertised in 220v countrys. Wattage is. So for example the motor is a 1300watt 240v on the new big ball cy 22. I am enjoying mine

 

[mike811]

I don't see any benefit of 220 volts compared to the 110 volts.
One example from my Philips.
2200 watts = 20 amps with 110v and 10 amps with 220v.
Now EU has stopped this madness and now most of our vacuums only use around 700w-900w (900w is max allowed) That is 6-8 amps (110v).
Unfortunately we don't get anymore those suction monsters Like my Philips with 500 airwatts. However when the motor speed is set to the middle it still pulls 5 on the airflow meter.
So for the US people 12 amps is kind of sweet spot.

 

[sptyks]

12 amps or 1440 watts is the maximum power allowed for vacuum cleaners in the US.
