My thoughts ? No Dyson cleans carpets well! Hence me being overjoyed that my carpets are now free of the dreaded Dyson. Still need to replace it with something though.
Can't quite think what brand I want though... I want something that will beat, sweep and clean, but who does that ? Damn, my memory... | ||

I wanna see proof that Dyson outcleans Hoover, cause I am definitely not aboard that ship.
I appreciate that Dyson has the best bagless cyclonic machine on the market. I appreciate that while a Dyson does lose suction, it is maintain more of it for a much longer duration of time in comparison with the rest of the bagless market. However, their baseplates are a disgrace and their use of agitation although better than the past still needs work. Please note that I have not intention of trying the Shark Navigator. It's ugly, looks more like a toy, and I've heard terrible things about their other vacuums. The Shark Steam mop with interchangeable cleaning heads that one of my clients has from them is completely useless. I use an H20 Steam mop instead. However, in my book a bagless Dyson does NOT outclean a decent Hoover. Notice my use of the word "decent." As Hoover is a brand that makes machines to fit several budgets, some machines clean terrific and some other models not so much. With a Hoover, generally the more expensive the machine, the better the cleaning power. The exception to that rule for them is the Tempo upright U5140-900 which is an excellent, powerful cleaner. It's not advertised but it has Windtunnel technology. I am unhappy that Hoover is outsourcing a lot of their brush rolls to CWP. I think CWP is a good generic manufacturer but I still like Hoover agitators. Their bristle configurations and material were good. They only needed better sealing for bearings and improving their thin plastic endcaps. For my clients and personal usage, my carpets look the best and feel cleanest after a Hoover has been used on them. Not my Riccar 1700, not my Bissell PowerForce upright, not my Kirby G4, not my Kenmore Whispertone canister, but a Hoover sweeps, cleans and grooms them the best!

Hear hear Rob! It's my thorough clean day today (as it is every Sunday) so I shall bring out the 1977 Hoover Senior and give the whole house (well, carpets technically since we have hard flooring in the living room and kitchen - yuk!) a good clean!
Even with the pathetic hose suction (which I still find usable and do use) nothing gets away from the fact that - It beats... As it sweeps... As it cleans. NOTHING outcleans a Hoover, not a thing, especially not a Dyson with as much beating power as a Barbie doll. | ||

All mini turbo brushes are not created equal. I've had lots of trouble with Dirt Devil ones, and it was used on a very powerful suction equipped, wake the dead Dirt Devil Vision Turbo. My Hoover S3639 Hoover Windtunnel bagged canister has one which works quite well. Tried it on my Hoover PowerMax canister, and the PowerMax although I love those canisters don't produce enough suction for the turbo brush.
My clients Hoover Anniversary Windtunnel canister S3670 has a turbo nozzle and it does fairly well. Have not tried the Kenmore handimate. Kenmore's PowerMate Jr. is not very impressive to me. The bristles are quite soft and I find it hard to puch/glide over the surface. I feel like they more or less tear through the carpet to move across it, if that makes sense? Anyone else have strange experiences with Kenmore Powermate Jr.? | ||
