Just get a rainnbow, their better that a cheap dyson anyday, Better filtration (water- and wet dust cant fly) LOL, better suction, and better power head. Dyson is just a name that we see on tv, makes us want one, play with a rainbow for a day and see how much better it is. even a old one!

...then dump the pan of filthy water, wash it all out, leave it out to dry so it doesn't stink...

With Dyson...
...you only have to clean the filters every 6 months (or 1 month for the smaller models), not after each use. If you want, they'll email you a reminder so you don't forget, and for anyone who finds rinsing a piece of foam challenging, their helpline is available 7am-10pm 7 days a week, and someone will be happy to talk you through it

I must agree. My dyson has never had a clog in the hose or piping and we have 2 long haired dogs and a cat! Also 2 birds me 13 and my bro 17 with all of our friends are dyson just keeps going. I think its the airflow. because its constant the dirt is just wipped in. I would much rather dump a clear polycarbonate bin everytime I vacuum then handle dust filthy filter bags and germ diseased water anyday of the week. My favorite about Dysons is the carrying handle. Before then how many vacuums had a carrying handle right in plain sight? IF there were most people didnt use them. My truely favorite thin is the stair hose. Never before could people clean the whole staircase while there vacuum stays at the bottom. No more of that balancing act of lifting and juggling. I will never use a water filtration vacuum ever. Good Idea but not hygenic and ready for tthe 21st century.

vintage hoover- and metal vacuums
Vintage hoover, you picture above is just so nice! The hoovers look great!
And to prove metal is better-
These hoovers are near 100 years old, and have never really had any servicing done to them other than routine maintenance. Some never fail over their 70+ years of cleaning.
And my dyson died after around 9 months.
I also just cant see how my dyson always clogged up. And no one else's Dyson has?

Brandon - you say your Dyson died after 9 months...if your mom spent $500 on it, why didn't she get it repaired, free of charge, under the warranty?

Kirby
Because we had bought a kirby right after it died, and it was cleaning so much more.
And the warranty was good for nothing as the store closed, and my mom was not willing to fight with Dyson.

My mom wanted it gone?
Well it was my brothers idea, we had no prof of purchase, and it did not work, and we could not afford to fix it. It had been on craigslist for a week, and no answers.
So yes, it got the golf club. :S

Ok heres the scoop
The pre-motor filter on the Digital Motor Dyson models that are sold in the U.S. (DC22) have a light that will come on (and the motor will shut off) when the pre-motor ilter needs to be cleaned. In normal use, it takes about 7 years for it to get that dirty- since the Digital motor is spinning at 88,000RPM it creates such a high gravitational force in the 21 cyclones that practically all the dust is extracted that is going into the pre-motor filter.
No longer will the user have to think "How many months has this been-should I wash it now or next time?" The machine will tell you when its time. Now thats invoation working for you!!!!!!!!

I must say your Dyson collection is beautiful. The antartica solo is wonderfull. So is the Recyclone the cool thing is that thosse are very rare. Especially in the US. In fact you both are the only two I know that exist. They didnt make alot of them. I must say your Hoover and Dyson collection is beautiful. very nice.

Thank you, Evan - I've only been collecting Dysons for a relatively short time, but those are what I've managed to accumilate so far! Since that picture was taken, I've also acquired a DC02 Clear, and a Constant Max - videos of both of those are on my YouTube channel.
Also, in the past I've owned a DC01 Antarctica Solo (which I wish I still had!), and a DC14 All Floors, which sadly wore it's carbons out, so I stripped it of all removable spares and junked the rest!
The DC02 Antarctica Solo was made in a Limited Edition run of 100,000, each machine being numbered - mine's 24781. They do turn up on eBay from time to time, although it's unusual to find one which is complete. All I'm missing for mine is the manual.
The Recyclone is much, much rarer - I'm not sure how many were made, no one's ever been able to give me an answer on that! In 'Against the Odds', James Dyson mentions he's about to begin a limited edition run of 400 Recyclones, which were made from the recycled plastic of early factory rejects, unwanted test models etc. I don't know if they only ever made 400 in total, or if they stepped up production afterwards. I know they were only on sale for a short time, and so far I've only seen one other Recyclone in the UK.
They were supplied with a manual printed on recycled paper - a contact of mine at Dyson UK very kindly attempted to find one for me, and only managed to find one copy (which of course, they couldn't send!). They also came, not in a cardboard box, but a canvas sack, which the buyer could re-use for other purposes!
