I wonder what will be made of this.. The impact test to the bins is pretty impressive. CLICK HERE TO GO TO baglessball's LINK | ||

The impact test is impressive to watch, but people don't replace the bin on their Dyson because a hefty lump of metal got dropped onto it from a height. They replace them because the bin flap hinges are thin and break easily.
As for the "designed to survive 10 years" claim, I'm not entirely convinced that Dyson even want people to keep their cleaners that long. This is why they frequently run a trade in promotion, offering 20% off a new cleaner. I work at the main distribution centre for a major retailer, and amongst other makes and models, the amount of late model Dysons that get traded in is unreal - some of which are new enough to still be under guarantee. They know full well that people get bored of what they already have, and the discount is just a little nudge to persuade them to upgrade early. Not only does this increase their sales volumes, it also thins the herd of discontinued models out in the field, thus lessening the demand for spare parts provision in future years. There's nothing particularly wrong with that per se, and some would say it makes good business sense. But it can hardly be described as "green" (if that's your thing), and is definitely isn't something they do out the kindness of their hearts as a favour to the consumer. | ||

I'd hate to rant but- It annoys me how Dyson thinks they are so much better than everyone else!
"Self-Adjusting cleaner Head"-Has been around nearly forever- Straight suction floor tools, The Hoover Elite 200, Etc. "Twice the suction of any other vacuum"-Use the vacuum for a week- THEN tell me that again. Notice in the test about the dust in the crevice- the Dyson's burshroll is on, while the Shark's is not.Also notice how the vacuum cleaner itself (The Shark) is seen off before the vacuum sound stops- For all i know this was faked, The lights rigged, Or the hose removed. What i do not understand- Is how this machine can still be certified by the British Asthma Foundation when it comes to Emptying that bin. "Lots of Features" Nothing much too different from other cleaners- Just the basic tools like Turbine head, hose, Etc. So what if the hose "Lifts away", didn't Fantom do that first? (Note- I am unsure if they did or did not). "Edge cleaning"- There's plenty of vacuums that have superb edge cleaning- Hoover & Eureka VIBRATE the grit and dirt towards the cleaning head. for example. "Tested to survive 10 years"- 10 Years? Seriously? What happened to 30,40,50, Even 60 Years? Notice in their "bin smashy test" the bin cracks, you can see it at 6:28.
Now, THIS Is Durability Testing!
(Notice- I know I'm likely to get backed over by a Dyson delivery ran for posting this thread- But I simply felt the need to stand against this over-hype vacuum cleaner).

End of? Tell that to people who've had Dysons fall to bits on them. They've got a hell of a lot better in terms of build quality, of that I grant you, but they could do a lot more. They know exactly what they are doing. | ||

My two early dc04s are not great, the plastic was worse back then. The difference between the 04 and 07 is night and day plastic quality wise | ||

"Because British vacuums are the best" That's quite a huge statement there.
Are you saying those little cheap things you buy at Tesco are going to prevail over a Kirby Dual-Sanitronic 50? Or perhaps the Numatic over the Canadian Model 88 Elux-O-Matic?
While i hate to be rude- Dysons are certainly not the "Best out there". Would they be the best when your pipes burst in winter? No, your best bet would be a Wet/Dry Unit. Would they be the best at removing deep-down grit and other damaging bits from under your rugs? No, For that you'll require a Cleaner with superb positive agitation. Would they be the best at lasting until the end of time? No, For that you'll require a Quality Machine, such as Kirby or an older Eureka/Hoover style cleaner.
The only thing I can see Dysons being of use for- Is firewood. I performed a test a year or two ago for bagless vacuums, I'll be Re-Performing this shortly, but with a wider range of vacuum cleaners.

look around you house and tell me how many apps you have tha Bit biased posting that on a vacuum forum! Off my head there are 8 or 9 british made and built machines in our flat! Granted they are all older Hoovers, but you didn't specify 'not vacs!' | ||

Sebox4 Rex air AKA Rainbow was the first bagless vaccum. originally designed by James kirby who scrapped the idea. For my money Kirby pre generation models are still the best vacuums and most reliable. Anything that is bragged up on an 30 min. infomercial is far to good to be true. | ||

I actually like the hose design on my Dyson DC-14 quite a bit, it's 4 years old and the hose has yet to break although I have read about them having that problem. I did pull out the hose and wand once under the ceiling fan that I had forgotten was on, the sound scared me a bit but nothing was damaged. I've also picked up my Oreck and hit the handle into the fan, which left a brown scuff on the Oreck handle but didn't damage the fan.
