Thoughts on Dyson Vacuum Cleaners

[kirk280980]

I am SO going to disappoint you Mr Sparkle. Grant Mitchell, in my dreams! Same haircut, yes, but unfortunately not the muscles to go with it. Enough spare tyres to rival Kwik Fit more like LOL.

Do enjoy a bit of renovation work, the heavier the better, however also into my laundry and vacs too. Watching an appliance work, getting a view of the action and seeing the results before your eyes, is what captivates me. As for taking an appliance apart to find out what makes it tick, and then putting it back together again, well I'm in heaven.

dyson tools

Jeff, the Dyson tools are fine. it's just that the suction is so high that it pulls the slinky hose back on itself. A regular wire reinforced hose would be better. That way the vacuum would stay put and you could walk away from it at least six feet or so instead of it being right at your feet. in other words when the vacuum is on the hose becomes a two foot hose instead of a longer hose.

canister hose

on looking at the pictures of the dyson canister hoses, i think dusting with the dyson upright would be a heck of a lot easier to do if you could attach a dyson canister hose to the upright.

I also have two Dysons in my collection-a DC07 and a DC15.Mediocre machines-their small brushrolls just don't vibrate and sweep the carpet enough.Their hand tools are uselss and hard-awkward to use.Like other members prefer my Kirbys,Royals,Riccar Radiance and many others-esp those with a bag.The DC 07 even came from the local kirby folks as a trade in toward a Kirby-that prospect made a better choice in the Kirby.I had to clean dog and people hair from the DC07's brush roll.Was really wrapped up.Wouldn't vibrate or sweep worth a darn.they are interesting and unique machines.

Poor man's Dyson

Actually, I think the vacuum looks pretty good, and "poor man's Dyson" is probably not quite fair.

The vac I'm thinking of is the Dirt Devil Reaction D2. It has dual cyclonic chambers, so its design is like an early Dyson. The reviews on Amazon are almost uniformly positive. I am strongly tempted to try one out, however, as yet I haven't seen one out of the box at the various stores that carry them. Target has it locally here for only $159, which is more or less my range for a new vac.

I'm not unhappy with my Eureka Whirlwind bagless, but the fact that the Reaction may have better suction, a washable HEPA filter, and easier emptying (it has little dual dump doors at the bottom like the Dyson's big single dump door) makes me inclined to give it a try.

Here's a link to the Amazon listing, which also includes customer reviews.

Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot write Jon? Im not so obsessed with appliances that I carnt think of anything else. Its called being a community, having a laugh and meeting others.

PSB

Mr Sparkle,

I too, have been the object of scorn and dismay by members of the site. And soon enough, if you watch, someone else does the same thing and its all just a big laugh. Go figure?

It does make it feel personal, but I guess the ebb and flow of how censorship and disaproval is applied on this site can only be attributed to PSB running amok though the membership.

PSB? The male counter play to PMS. Pesky Semen Buildup!
