Well, anyone that knows me will know I don't usually (ever) sing Dyson's praises but I have decided to give a newer model a try, have the DC01 but one could say there is a slight age difference! The newest Dyson I have used is the DC25, I did use the DC41 for all of 30 seconds so can't really judge it.

I got it Direct from Dyson and it says it is the "2015" model, which I presume the only difference is the new model has a grey shroud and cyclone and a lower wattage motor.

I am quite looking forward to it coming, which is something I didn't think I would say.

I will post pictures when it arrives.

Alex.

Cool, my neighbour a few doors away has a multi floor DC40 since like 2012
Would love to see a comparison video to like a TP2 or something

Pretty exciting! A hardcore hoover fan trying out the latest Dyson (sort of latest)

DC40 step aside Turbopower is coming through, don't worry I have not gone Dyson mad, I just bought it to see if I like it, I am still a bagged baby!!

I am not sure what to expect, as far as I am concerned, it is a new toy to play with! :D

Many has complained about the weak brushrolls in Dyson vacuums (lack of agitation). But there was video in the youtube about DC41 mkII agitation. It looks VERY impressive! Check it out.

Yes it is very impressive it's also the best I've used on hard floors which also suggests it has lots of airflow. So excellent agitation and lots of airflow. The 2 ingredients needed to deep clean carpets :-)

Post# 313178 , Reply# 22   1/24/2015 at 05:06 (3,370 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

What amazes me is how on earth it can beat carpets without any beaters?!
Early DC40 models have very stiff bristles but dont really do it's good as the new 41 mk2, and the DC25 has two rows of thick, nylon bristles which kinda beat the carpet


Post# 313179 , Reply# 23   1/24/2015 at 05:07 (3,370 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

I think most, if not all Dysons are good but most of them have the crappy brushbars/rolls.

Agree Tayyab, the suction on most Dyson's is fine, just let down by a crappy brushroll. Hence I prefer their cylinders to their uprights.

At the time I first used the DC40, I did think it was the highest performing Dyson I'd used to date. I didn't like the handle - it was too flexible. But it was a nice size and a good performer by Dyson standards

It doesn't look that crappy in the agitation video. That's what the brushroll is there for isn't it to agitate? I've not seen much better agitation than that. Maybe the metal royal is one but I can't think of many.

Post# 313182 , Reply# 26   1/24/2015 at 05:42 (3,370 days old) by marcusprit ()        

Anyway what's the point of arguing about it? I've seen how clean my carpets are after using the Dyson as clean if not cleaner than any other vacuum cleaner I've used previously including Sebo, Miele and Kirby. Not bad for a crappy cleaner with a crappy brushroll ;-)

turbo500's profile picture
Eeerrrrrr....because this thread is about Dyson's? Why would I start harping on about other brands? That's just what you do.

And if you re-read what I said, I think you'll find that I was agreeing with Tayyab AND mentioned the strong suction on Dyson cleaners. Both a pro and a con in the same post.


Post# 313189 , Reply# 33   1/24/2015 at 05:57 (3,370 days old) by marcusprit ()        

Haha it's always about Dyson flaws. I don't here anything about sebo flaws in any threads. But every time I put a post up about Dyson there has to be someone having a dig I don't understand why as they are now producing some excellent machines. Anyway I'm off to golf club now. His a beautiful sunny day for it here in Cardiff today -)

BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING THREADS ABOUT DYSONS!!!!

Who the hell is gonna start harping on about the flaws of Sebo, Miele, Kirby, Hoover, Electrolux etc in a thread about Dyson's!? It would be completely irrelevant.

I mean in threads about Sebo. I could constantly point out flaws over and over again. But I don't see the point. They make some nice cleaners. Not flawless though!

I have never once said that Sebo were flawless. Ever.

Go and re-read the Sebo E series thread in which I criticised the tool set up on the K series.

Now can we get this back on topic please before it becomes yet another thread that Marcus troll's, hijacks and fills with more unnecessary drivel.


Post# 313194 , Reply# 38   1/24/2015 at 06:32 (3,370 days old) by parwaz786 ( )        

Yes, I agree about the DC40 Chris :)
I had a play with the DC41 Mk2 in Currys and in comparison to my mate's 2012/13 DC41 Animal, it is WAY better.
Why?

Well it feels more solid and the pull back stabiliser is stiffer so you can wheel it around like the older ones
It feels quite chunky like the DC01 a little bit because of the width probably, but feels quite well made and looks stylish
The bristles are damn stiff, a little bit more than the DC40 I think
The handle flexes less now than the older ones, they must have made the plastic thicker or something, but it is not as solid as a DC14, but it will not break I am sure due to it's flexibility. So it still flexes but not as much as the older dc41, but a little bit more than the DC14

Glad to hear it Tayyab. I haven't had much of a chance to have a look at them yet. Our local Currys has them but they're up on a raised platform, so it's not so easy to take them down and have a good look.

Performance wise, in comparison to other Dyson's, I couldn't fault it the DC40. I did like the size too. Not so piddly as the DC24 but not massively bulky and heavy either. A nice middle ground. Just a shame about the handle.

And no, Marcus, you're a troll because you post absolute rubbish and create pointless threads with the aim of getting a reaction out of people and causing a bit of drama. You also have a habit of hijacking threads into being about what YOU want them to be about and not what they're actually. I also think it's quite telling that you're so dismissive of vacuums from the past on a vacuum cleaner collectors forum.

Right back at you Marcus!! You're singing the praises of the Cinnect left, right & centre but you've never used one.

I've always made it clear that I haven't used a DC41.2 or a Cinnect and base my views on my experience of using pretty much all their machines up to and including the DC41. That's 21 years worth of models against 4 months of models.

I am not a Dyson lover by any means but his machines are well thought out and engineered, the quality is also not the best but at least plastic components are correctly moulded and don't have rough edges. I don't think they are as terrible as everyone makes out, it appears that in most peoples eyes it is the Devil, the antichrist of all vacuum cleaners but in my honest opinion they are not THAT bad.

I will always hate Dyson for taking Hoover to the cleaners!

and I will NEVER convert to bagless, I am a bagged person all the way.

i didn't really like the older dc40 i thought it was better than older models at cleaning but didn't clean 2 the standard i want.but it was ok.but the new dc40 2015 has the same cleaner head from the mk2 but the only difference between the dc40 has less suction and the 41mk2 and has 20 percent more brush bur power 2 then the dc40 2015 that's the only difference.

I think you will like it. Plastic will be a bit flexible but that's so it won't snap.
Here's a list of accessories pictured incase you forgot about some.

Fancy cleaning your ceiling fan?

Fancy vacuuming underneath your fridge?

Fancy getting I between the washing machine and behind the radiators?

Fancy grooming your dog?

OK cool.
Just seen your Maytag unboxing and demo and was amazed with how powerful it is, so it would be nice if it was compared to the DC40 :)
Hope I am not asking for too much? 😶

I haven't used the DC40 yet but I KNOW the Windtunnel is far better at carpet cleaning, much MUCH better brushroll an 3 channels of suction on the Hoover.

There are plenty of moans regarding SEBO uprights, Marcus. You're just too new to find them. Google the archives and you'll find plenty of members who have moaned about SEBO.
