I have only one
the DC28 Air Muscle . Dyson finally made a brush roll designed for the USA and the different types of carpets. I guess they realized we don`t have mostly bare floors or low pile carpet as many European,Asian,Arab& African countries do.

My favorite Dyson would either be the DC17 or the DC14. Both are great vacuums, and just about perfect for my house.

This one, cos it makes me laugh, both the "design" to make it look like a kids toy, and the failure, of course...

Hi sorry but thats a bit far fetched , In all my years working on vacuums and as a vecuum cleaner engineer I have never seen a motor catch fire like that , not unless something was added to it , petrol , turps .
The dc01 had a thermal cut out on it that would cut out the power the minute it starts giong bad , some smoke but thats it.
those machines also use a amatek motor wich is rather indistructable, the machine will fall appart way before the motor does.
Don't believe every thing you see on U tube , Just watch myth busters

Of course, if someone were to "fix" the thermal fuse because of overheating through clogged filters, it can happen, doesn't matter what make of motor or even the brand of vac, get Roger the Bodger inside such things and hey presto, you have fire...

utube clip of dc01 motor flame out
I was in charge of motor development & saftey testing at one of the company's I worked at , we would run a new motor to distruction , hundreds at a time , with and without thermal cutout , not once did I ever get a motor to thow out a flame like that , I got them to explode , implode , melt, smoke , lots of smoke but never catch fire.
I will say utube is full of guys who fix things to make thier vid look good,
I am a huge dyson fan I love them , I sell and service them for a living , a customer came to me the other day to trade in her kirby as she said her son showed her a clip on u tube of how brilliant a dyson was compaired with a kirby.
In the clip you see the guy vacuum up cat fur with a kirby and then with a dyson , the kirby leaves almost all the fluff behind.
will that was easy to manipulate simply undo the belt on the kirby, their is no way a kirby was going to miss that amount of cat fur she bought a dyson any way as it was lighter but I told her to keep her kirby there is nothing wrong with it.
as a mater of interest why does every one compare a kirby to a dyson , they are in to totally differant brackets , like compairing a Rolls Royce to a Merc, both great cars but totally differant brackets

If the Kirby didn't pick up fur...
Either the Kirby had any of the following problem(s):
Belt disengaged or not on
No brush roll
Very worn bristles
Clogged bag tube
Broken fan
Otherwise, it'll beat any plastivac!

Thats my point , you can't trust u tube , by the way it was a sentria so I'm thinking it was a disingaged belt to make the vid look good.
Dysons are fantastic machines considering there cost. you don't need to fake an test to make one look good.
Half the stuff posted on utube pitting one machine againts another is more trickery than any thing else.

I dont own a Dyson and it has been a while since I have used one, but the last time I used a Dyson the DC17 was the newest model and I thought that it cleaned much better than any of the previous Dysons available in the US. Even though its all plastic it did seem to be well constructed and the suction was pretty good. I'm a Kirby or Electrolux Upright kind of guy, I dont care for on board tools/hoses, but using the hose on the DC17 and the previous models was much easier than I thought it would be as I didnt have to "fight" with the hose to use it. It certainly was much easier to use the hose on the Dyson than compared to something like a S/P Windtunnel and it has a reach that was probably 3 times greater than the Windtunnel. I know their is a large different in price between the Hoover S/P and the Dyson but the tools on the Dyson were far superior to the crapy Hoover tools, so I guess you do get what you pay for.
I've noticed from Dyson's website that they no longer offer the electric powered motor head canister in the US. It seems the only canister with a "power nozzle" is the turbo nozzle machines. The majority of canisters marketed in the US have an electric power nozzle and its been that way for the past 30+ years. I was wondering if anyone has any inside information as to why Dyson would no longer sell their electric power nozzle here especially when the US seems like the perfect market for an electrified power nozzle.

Wait and see I think their is a new one coming , I am a dyson dealer and I hate those air driven turbine heads , hense we have never sold a dc23 new , ever. we have them in stock but for the same prce you can get a dyson upright that will do every thing the cansiter will do and clean better.

DC41
I've owned the DC14, DC15, DC17, DC18, DC22, DC23, DC25, and DC28. Among those, I've been very fond of the DC15, DC18, and DC28...
Then several days ago I bought the DC41 Ball, and I'll tell you this much; it's a quantum leap ahead of the DC25 in terms of attention to detail and build quality. The DC25, in my opinion, was a step backward from the DC15, for it was nothing more than a dumbed down DC15 that they only cared about making lighter and smaller.
I'm enthusiastic about the DC41 because not only is it designed better than the DC25, but it also deep cleans and actually grooms the carpet as well (I don't ever recall seeing my DC25 remove the tracks left from my office chair caster wheels from my deep pile carpets).

Hoover turbo power /master
thats because the turbo master and power are direct air vacuums , like Kirby , Sanitaire , Royal .
I love the turbo master , my mom had one but they and the turbo power were a bit like the early eighties Japanese cars the engine would last forever but the body would fall appart in weeks.
Some were I have a pic of me in a workshop with about 30 turbopower& turbo master vacuums standing in rows waiting for back casings. I remember when I first started to repair vacuums in the mid nineties it my dad and I would go down to hoover and fill up the back of our station wagon with those back casings each week.
I do love the turbo master and power , I have a turbomaster in my collection complete and at least another 10 needeng back casings , dito with the turbo power, I'm looking for a nice red one now
Give your dyson a service with new brush belt and filter and I bet it will put your turbo power to shame
