Beyond the sales crap, I'm guessing he never had to service one, with all the hidden screws and parts that snap together.
Why Dyson is the best vacuum in the planet.

Help Support VacuumLand:
I have never fallen for any of the Hype about the current modern vacuums available today. Any thing that sounds that good to be true usually is.
I didn't buy a new Kirby until I had used a Heritage II that some I knew had. Was Impressed with it. I have used Kirby's all my life and would have bought a rebuilt Kirby before using the Heritage II first.
I wouldn't consider buying a new Kirby again until I used a Sentria that I purchased at a yard sale for $50.00. Now I'm thinking maybe a Avalir. I do know someone with a Sentria or Sentria II complete for a song I may purchase it. My Mom is using The Sentria and liking it.

I agree with all of you guys here on vacuumland. And I found his videos annoying. And I also Strongly believe Dyson spends more money than any other brand on advertising and hiring people to flood the market with questionable “High 5 Star type Reviews” for the sole purpose to sell more vacuums!
I’m actually embarrassed to admit at one time I drank the Koolaid Sir James So craftily sold (at one point I owned 20 new Dyson products) but reality sunk in and I now have only 6 Dyson vacuums left. I do enjoy the Dyson heater in my bathroom, but mainly just because I think it looks cool. Lol But as far as vacuums.. I also have only used both my Dyson Ball Animal 2 and Dyson Small Ball Multi Floor (both the newest models) Once or Twice since buying them. It’s not that I hate them but rather just don’t find them as exciting as I used to. So thanks for opening this dialog by sharing how supporting only ONE Vacuum manufacturer is not feasible with the multitude of choices, Floor types, carpet types, and on and on. We all have favorites And preferred brands, but variety is the spice of life I’ve found.
BUT... this is my point of view on vacuum cleaners and I totally appreciate how kind and considerate all of you have been with me thus far on this site.
I LOVE, absolutely take joy in and practically get goose bumps over ANY new vacuum cleaner... from a simple $30 hand vac to my $1,200 Riccar... but that’s just me and my pure vacuum collector passion. And most importantly I support ALL vacuum types and brands and LOVE hearing all of you guys share your vacuum passions, stories and memories.
Now I’ll admit, the higher the cost, yes the elation and excitement lasts much longer.. Lol I still get a big smile on my face using my Riccar, Sebo, Miele, Kirby, Maytag or Simplicity high end vacuums. That said my personal thoughts (No shade nor disrespect to anyone here) is you cannot compare Apples to Oranges.. so it’s obvious a $200 vacuum and a $1,500 vacuum will be made with different materials, operate differently and other things you just can’t compare.
So I say with total respect and fondness for all of you and ALL your vacuums... I am happy for you all when something excites you, I 100% totally support your opinions, preferences and likes/dislikes... but we won’t (nor should we) all always 100% agree on which vacuum does what best, etc.
Thank you ALL for helping me experience new things, learn more about other vacuum cleaners and mostly, thank you for sharing in my silly excitement and sometimes excessive exuberance and passion for a “Vacuum Cleaner”! I’m so glad we can all agree to disagree, voice helpful tips and otherwise just have this wonderful place we all can share what Vacuum Cleaners mean to us!
My best to everyone here... thanks for letting me be ME and enjoy collecting any vacuum.. even if I fall in love with nothing more than the color of it.. lol( perfect example the Kirby Sentra II bag design), hehe. So I get great joy out of vacuumland.org because of all you great people and how you share your passions, great advice and pictures. Thank you!

I had to block this person from commenting on my videos as he was very annoying with far too much time on his hands as he wrote complete essays with a very notable bias towards Dyson.
My own reviews are based on what I think about the product in my own home, how easy it is to use and how they clean and I don't ever claim they are scientifically accurate , but outside the vacuum collecting community, most consumers are happy with a vacuum that leaves their floors and carpets looking clean.
He may well work for Dyson or he could be just a Dyson fan boy, but anyone who only thinks one brand of vacuum is better than all the rest clearly hasn't tried a lot of different cleaners to make that judgement.
I enjoy trying all different types of cleaners modern, vintage, bagged and bagless and I haven't found the perfect vacuum cleaner and I doubt I ever will.

I enjoy lots of different brands too. Wish we had more American brands available in the UK though because most of what we have currently available in the UK doesn't excite me 
I have blocked him too. He was using my material in his videos and he has very arrogant style of commenting. So I let him be in his little circles.
I still haven't ordered any vacuums from the US. Shipping costs are too high for my budget + additional step down transformer.
We need more powerhead canisters to the Europe. So far what I have seen only ones are the Miele C3 and AEG/Electrolux UltraOne.
Lux Inteligence is out of my budget. For now at least.

Yes very expensive to import from the US import fees and shipping plus transformer.
I would like to see more PN cylinders but they never seem to sell in the UK. I'd also like to see more bagged upright too but there's not much hope of that, it's bagless that sell these days. I'm going to stick with what I have

I feel for you guys, I understand in the USA we are such crazy consumers that must have our options and choices! So we do tend to have large amounts of models the UK or other 220 electric countries don’t get.
But on the other side.. I’d LOVE to have the beautiful Vorwerk Kobold in a USA 120 volt. I know they sell upconverters for us here, but I’m not wanting to go that far, and as you said too.. the cost to ship them inside the USA is exorbitant to say the least. Also, I really adore some if the cool Morphy Richards I’ve seen on my friend Roger Lang’s (ibaisaic) YouTube. and don’t even get me started on my coveted Hoover Dust Managers or the lovely Turbomaster Total System! Oh and one more I Lust for.. the newest X series Sebo vacuums with the Pet Boost Button, newest design, HEPA filtration and LED headlights!
So I really wish we all could share vacuums... it would be a lot of fun. I would highly recommend any of our Tacony (USA only) brands to you guys, if they could make them 220... the Riccar, Simplicity and Maytag are gorgeous uprights.
Oh and one last funny thing.. Roger informed me that most UK people call a “Canister” style vacuum a Cylinder and the electric cords are leads.. Lol
I feel for you guys.. anyone own a newer Vorwerk Kobold and want to make my week by posting pics.. that would be excellent and much appreciated!
Somebody should start a thread of “Only available here... UK or USA” vacuum list with pictures. Just a thought. Thanks guys!

I know Chris (turbo500) has the Vorwerk kobold he likes it a lot. There's also a member from Sweden who's name escapes me who has one also.
Yes let's start an Atlantic vacuum swap. That's a good idea

I have a Dyson DC24.
I would love to find a spare used brush roll for it so I could rebristle the brush roll with horsehair and see if it still rips the nap out of the carpet.

The view and thoughts on this would always differ from people to people. A Dyson vacuum is powerful, lightweight, and effective to clean floors and surroundings. A use Dyson Multi Floor Canister Vacuum Cleaner and the other one is Dyson ball Animal Upright vacuum for cleaning.
