Hi Carl, in my honnest opinion, you should smash your dyson to bits with a sledge hammer and get either a Sebo or a Miele. Although they are the best bagless on the market, I still don't like them and will never own one. But if you like them, that's ok - but I wouldn't recomend them for being quiet. The DC01 wasn't all that noisey from what I remember. My aunt had the first DC01 I ever saw and I remember being able to have a conversation over it. Also, my grandma has a DC03 which isn't bad either in terms of noise (the DC03 actually isn't a bad cleaner). I've found anything from the DC04-DC14 range to be quite loud. Oh and if you're on msn, add me. I think my address is in my profile....possibly..maybe. Ttyl, Chris |

...Once their owners become fed up with them and put them in the basement or garage. Seriously. I know of four like this in a three-block radius. |

The Dyson system doesn't do anything a Filter Queen with a Power Brushroll can't do, with a Hepa medium Cone liner installed. Or just about any vintage vacuum similarly retrofitted. Or today's other bagless & bagged brands that at least have the common sense to provide as simple a dirt path as possible. I've had great amusement over the years inspecting all the Dyson models at the stores & Big Box chains that sell them. I take great delight in 'auditioning' them in store by taking all the removable parts and filters off & out, testing the attachments and so on, feigning potential purchase for the benefit of the sales staff. I always express astonishment and positive interest, the staff are happy and I learn what I learn. From an engineering standpoint that's one very convoluted bouncing bashing air path of varying diameters - round to square to oval to rectangular to tapered - from nozzle to bagless canister with all those tubes & hoses & gaskets, oh my!!! Just trace the path of one of the Ball versions - the fan is inside the ball. No wonder the motors are so screaming powerful...Dear Lord, so many specialized gaskets! Fitting the parts back together you get one gasket not seated properly and yer toast. But I give Dyson full marks for bizarre styling and brazen marketing of same. I mean come on... even the handles, tools & nozzles have non functioning purely decorative fins, vanes & speed strakes on 'em. LOL I look forward to the day I start finding them in the trash curbside to have in the Kerr Kollection examples of how not to re-invent the wheel. No one is throwing them out yet because they cost so much; I believe they are having them repaired at equally great expense. A fine piece of high maintenance plastic sculpture. As collectors with plenty of vacs for comparison we must have compassion for the person whose only daily driver is a Dyson... Davy |

Hello, I've always been keeping myself away from Dyson upright cleaners because I've always considered them too bulky, noisy and overengineered (especially refering to "The Ball" models) but a few years ago I decided I couldn't live without a Dyson canister,so I got a DC 08 Animal Pro, which I must say has been proved an excellent vacuum cleaner, with plenty of suction and I've been using it often for some hard cleaning jobs that could have put in difficulty ANY other vacuum cleaner, like picking up during home refurbishing a lot of fine dust and debris filling and emptying the bin several times... I purchased a spare primary filter to have a quick replacement when after a "dirty job" filter needs a good washing. What I've always been missing on my dyson was a good power head because the beautiful and well designed turbine head is just a help when you clean carpets and rugs but doesn't provide adequate agitation for real deep cleaning and pile fluffing and suction and airflow through the brushroll are reduced ( you pick up more dust with the straight suction floor/rug tool) SO I'm wondering if the DC 21 Motorhead is really the Dyson solution to the problem, the pn looks gorgeous but I don't know if it really works or it's just another piece of design to put on a shelf...does any of you have already had the chance to use one? Any comment? Thanx in advance, Tommy. |
