I used to hate Dyson. I thought that they were over priced garbage. In August I decided to buy a DC40, it had great suction but it didn't clean the carpets very well. But in March I got a DC65 and it has been my daily driver since then.
Today I scrubbed the carpets in my living room and dining room, and this was the first time that there was not grit, sand, and dog hair in the tank of my Hoover Steamvac! Before this the Hoover Air Steerable was my main vacuum, before that the Shark Navigator Pro Lift Away was my main vacuum, and before that, the Hoover Windtunnel Bagless. None of them were able to get all of the sand and grit and hair out of the carpet but the Dyson could. I know a lot of you on here hate Dyson, but if you get a chance you should definitely try one of the new Dysons. |

I agree. Plastic vacuums are built to be disposable. They work okay for a short while but they don't last and they're not really intended to be serviced or repaired. They're intended to be used up and thrown away like a tube of toothpaste. Conversely, Kirbys, metal Royals, etc. are built to last and to be serviced. They're powerful rug-sucking beasts that do an exceptional job with an intended lifespan measured in decades, not months. That's why I own four of them, along with two metal Electrolux canisters.

I haven't used used the Cenetic so I don't know how well those cyclones actually are, but it is the third highest rated vacuum by Consumer Reports. I can tell you that the radial root cyclone is very good. About a month ago, a bag of flour fell out of one of my cabinets, and half of it spilled out. I picked it up with my DC65 and there was not one speck of flour on the filter! It is a great vacuum.

Really? Do tell? I guess I'll just have to throw away this almost FORTY year old plastic vac, which was built to be disposable. Plastic vacs are never any good because they are not overgrown, glorified sawmills - best used as boat anchors? I think I understand now.....

Okay, so my aunties 18 year old dyson which is still working, or our 23 year old SEBO X1, both so called "plastic vacs" yet they don't need "servicing", not unless you call changing a belt servicing. I service my car, not a vacuum which has a couple of moving parts.
ANYWAY, yes. These new dysons have gone from being very mediocre in carpet cleaning performance to probably one of the best available. The bristles are quality made, very finely cut if you look closely, coupled with the high suction and the impressive sealing, Is why it picks up so much. |

Shoot my original Fantom is pushing 22 years. I just picked up a 17 year old Fury. What about all those Rainbow D4s which seem to last forever? |

Eureka Mighty Mites are the best plasti-vacs currently made; they are heavy-duty |

Oh, good, so it isn't just me who has plastic vacuums which have lasted decades. Difference is though, I am pretty sure that the SEBO and the Dyson didn't cost a couple of grand, but more like £300 tops in todays money, so if the SEBO and Dyson are around 20 years old, that's vacuuming for £15 per year. Not bad going really.
But, it is a shame. If only these other manufactures were to make their vacuums out of metal so they are that more cumbersome and harder to use, but all in the name of "longevity". |

From the 70.s and almost all plastic ( just th3 handle is metal) and yet my Electrolux 404 is still in one piece all working.
Then I have a Electrolux 504 and 502 completly plastic and yet they out lived many kirbys. I have Kirbys in my collection and I like some ofvthem but really why is ut that every time someone posts a thread about a modern vac We have to hear about how good a Kirby is. Its getting old a d boring we get it you like your Kirby great. The rest of us like other vacuums too. |
