You can't really argue Dyson's new video

[tolivac]

The video doesn't show the broken,dirty,and dusty ones in the appliance dumpster at the dump area where I take my trash every week.One poor Dyson was crushed by an old RPTV set that was dumpted on it!I can go along with Sptyks-the machine that can last actually for your lifetime if you take minimal care of it-and other brands,too!And---Dysons CLOG all of the time-they come for often repeated visits to the vac shop here for unclogging--one had a bottle of green nail polish in its hose-nail polish spilled all over the bench when it was removed-me and the vac shop man mopped it up.The Dyson users around here try to pick up the strangest things!

sptyks,

what kind of vacuum do you mean? Perhaps, a Kirby, and if so, YOUR RIGHT!!! A Kirby can eat five or six of them Dysons for breakfast and blow them all out before for lunch...just saying.

No, not again. Please don't turn this thread into one of those Kirby Vs Dyson threads.

Kirby

No again this is just so sad

This thread was about the durability of dysons how they test them for just about everything. The top rated comment was talking about how this is only one test, yet when there is a suggested video that appears in the first video I posted which shows them testing everything else, everyone goes quiet. This will never be a decent forum all the while people are set in their ways about there beloved hunks of metal that people sometimes trade in for a 100 quid vacuum, but there we are.

I honestly don't know of any other forum that has members like this. I am part of a handful of Volkswagen forums, admin for a couple of them with thousands of members as well as a photography and geopolitical one. I work from home hence why this is. Some of those forums have millions of members but this one is just vile.

You can call it throwing my toys out the pram but quiet honestly I don't care. What is supposed to be a vacuum forum is just bashing someone from their opinion or idea which goes against the forums status quo.

I know exactally what vacuums They are refering to. It those over heavy boat achcors that customers are duped into buying by sly salesman and then they sit forever in the garage as they are to heavy and complicated to use. Not been able to vacuum between carpets and hardfloors without half the machine been removed and changed over.

Yep those ones that customers trade in all the time because they are simply to cumbersome to use in a modern home unless you really love vacuuming(the general public doesnt )
No vacuum is beyond the scope of customer abuse. Not even a Kirby so lets stick ronthe topic with out hearing about your beloved Kirbys again and again

Every thread when someone says a Dyson is good, we have to hear how the Kirby is so much better. It gets very annoying! Can there ever be a thread that's just about Dyson?

I know of a lot of vacuums that can last more than 20 years.

How many DC01s are still in use? A lot of people still use Elites... There are a lot of convertibles, DAMs, and concepts that still work, my great grandfather still uses his Concept One, that he got in 1979.

I have a dirt devil Handvac that was my grandmother's, she gave it to me when I was three years old. I still use it regularly, and it still has the original belt! The Handvac was made in 1993 (I looked up the s/n), it is 22 years old, and still runs perfectly, with the original belt....

So yeah, I know of many vacuums that can last more than 20 years...

Of course they can last and last

A lot depends on how you use you cleaner, do you give it regular servicing, etc?


 Belts, bags, FILTERS, etc  are always going to need replacing.  I see you vacuums beaten to heck....shows you how they care for them, or don't.  Can you imagin what the furniture looks like if they're banging cleaners under everything?  I'll say a LOT of brands,  not just MY favorite, will last and last.

The vacuum I had in mind IS NOT a Kirby!


 


In fact, the vacuum I had in mind COSTS LESS than a brand new Dyson Cinetic.


 


It is made in China by TTI, yet it will outlast any Dyson.


 


Here's a short video of it in action:

[gottahaveahoove]

Made in China,

designed in America, and made of metal!!  Enjoy years of service with that machine.

XXX IForce is JUNK! I had it for a few days; but returned it in favor for a Lux Classic; been happier with the Lux

On the XXX IForce power nozzle connector broke; vacuum & brush roller motors overheat & electrical connections short out

 

[cb123]

Sounds just like another slash cheap Chinese Dyson rip-off on Kirby! I got just three words for you...Trash...Trash...and a whole lot more Trash! Aren't we all just crazy for Trash!

The OTHER brand of vacuum I thought of was the same brand as Sptyks--Royal.Have MANY of these machines-many before they were built in China and using the motors that can be serviced-ext brushholder access and lubable bearings.That is a strike against the newer Royals-the motor is not really serviceable.When it goes you have to get a new motor or machine.So far they have held up very well!Haven't seen ANY metal Royal uprights in the dump site dumpster.And I know a lot were sold here.If I see one there-will grab it!
