Thank you so much Tom
I have a dc05 motor head, however in a horrible twist of fait a brand new in box dc37 fell off a shelf and landed on the top of it shattering its handle( Family Feud ). I am busy trying to get a new Handle for it. I just got my first DC21 motorhead, Looking forward to trying it out, we never got this model in SA either. |

My first experience with Dyson Dual Cyclone technology was the Cyclon 1000. It was ok, but the shroud hadn't been invented yet. My second dual cyclone was the Sears Kenmore Dry Tech carpet shampooer, followed by the Dyson-Designed "Vectron". I had a Fantom "Thunder" before I got a DC01. I think the filtration was superior on the Dyson Dual Cyclone models than it was on our Iona-built Fantom Dual Cyclone machines - most likely because of the MUCH superior air flow and suction produced by a 240 volt motor. I had to wire an extension cord to my dryer outlet to use my machine - but that was a benefit. I had to cut off the original British plug and fit an American plug. That way, for carpet cleaning, I use the machine plugged into my 240 volt extension cord. But, if I want "low" speed, I plug the machine into a standard 120 volt American outlet.

Today I finally got this working
My Dc21 motor head. I got it from a lady who's cleaning lady was extremely hard on it, It was then damaged in a flood. When I got it on Monday the motor worked but the pc board was fried from the water damage. As I am an extremely impatient person when it comes to new vacs I want to use and as this model was not sold here so I did not have the circuit board in stock I got to work and made a few repairs to it and now the motor head works. Its brush bar has been damaged by it been run on hardflooring without been switched off but even lik eit is its a powerful cleaner. |

Since I have both, I can answer as to how they compare. The Fantom's brush roller was much more aggressive. As the Fantom used a TWO FAN Lamb motor, it had a lot of airflow, but without a pre-motor filter, the Fantom's filtration was terrible. They didn't use a pre-motor filter because Fantom wanted to sell Hepa filter (at $75 a pop). The DC01, running on 240 volts, has more airflow and filters fine dust far better than the Fantom. Probably because there's more g-force at the tip of the high efficiency cyclone. Also, the DC01 was easier to work on and maintain. As far as cleaning an American carpet, the Fantom Thunder was excellent, the DC01 only average. But that's due to the brush bar design almost exclusively.

My 2 dc15's, This model was not available here either.
The yellow one is from the UK The red one is Australian, It states it has Radix cyclone technology, Instead of the the normal Root cyclone technology It took a call to an Australian friend to find out why it was not called Root cyclone technology, Well it seems a Root in Australia is a Slang word for, um coitus :) |
