The cordless stick vac formfactor

[vac14012]

Most of these old companies jumping into the Stick Vacuum trend just outsource it and put their name on it. Like what sadly Dyson is now doing to their robot line.

The only other stick vacuum I've seen that looked interesting was the Miele Triflex since you can put the canister down further removing the weight from your wrist. Which is a nice idea.

But the performance and filtration is terrible. It has a single wimpy cyclone and a pleated filter that gets clogged instantly. Like those old early 2000s bagless uprights when Dyson still had the patents on their original cyclones. And the price is outrageous for the quality.

Vacuum “facts” is basically asking who makes a copy of Dyson that actually isn’t a copy; and if it has features or characteristics that don’t make it a copy of a Dyson, then it doesn’t qualify. By his criteria it is impossible to find an example.

One can make this same question/argument about just about anything.

If we're being honest, all of these vacuums - Dyson included - are just cheap clones and knock-offs of the 1908 Hoover Model O.

I suppose that makes sense. I wonder how a fair judge would interpret that.

Now that is some funny stuff.

I said nearly as much at the very beginning of this thread and was savaged by vacuum fiction for my audacity to contradict His Highness. i was referencing some of the old lightweights from Hoover, Regina, Lewyt, Electrolux and even some vintage Vorwerks and Mieles. A tiny vacuum body like a small canister, a handle on top, a wand on the bottom with a floor brush of some sort. Simple, small and very light.

See post #65. See just about any post you reference Vacuum Facts.

Not convinced by that, since all those I've seen are quite distinct and are common only in their technological approach to workarounds of patents.

I think this is only true for their wet-dry robots, not their dry robots. Dyson in a recent interview doesn't like the jack-of-all-trades machines and prefers machines that excel at their primary task, which would explain why they're corner cutting on the wet-dry bots. I don't really like any bots, really, but that's just my opinion.

It was a cumbersome, horrible mess that didn't perform. There was nothing technologically interesting about it to me, which is why I didn't give it time of day.

I like the Miele triflex because I think it is nice to use. No matter how "bad" a vacuum performs if you use it often it enough it will give you clean carpet. When I am at Nana's house I use the Kirby g5 every single day on the carpet and I do the upholstery/hard floors every 2-3 days. I sometimes vacuum twice a day, often once in the morning with a stick vac and in the afternoon with the Kirby. Easy to manage in my opinion. I think that will keep dirt off a carpet.
