 Interesting to see that Electrolux are now offering a multi cyclone, no loss of suction cleaner. So that's Dyson, Vax, Hoover and Electrolux now offering REAL cyclonic cleaners. Just need to hurry up and phase out the crappy direct filter cyclone cleaners now CLICK HERE TO GO TO Turbo500's LINK | ||

Check by this thread www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-... and my reply 21 with a similar model to the Air Excel Stair. I've seen them in person though and they're pretty bulky.
The only problem with these vacs appearing from Hoover, Vax, Electrolux et al claiming to have "no loss of suction" means they still have that secondary filter at the top before the main shroud and then another motor filter at the bottom underneath the bin/above the motor. I thought Dyson only had one main filter in their vacuums, thus no need to even go near the shrouds/cyclone tubes. Granted it may move the game on in prolonging suction power, but I don't think they're exactly the same with Dyson's root cyclone - or am I right in thinking this? | ||

but I don't think they're exactly the same with Dyso The Vax Mach uprights all used a cyclone similar to the old Dyson Dual Cyclone. The current offerings from Hoover, Vax and Morphy Richards are proper "no loss of suction" cyclones, meaning filter maintenance is minimal. Granted, they're not as efficient as the Dyson Root Cyclone, but a vast improvement on the old direct filter design | ||

Over in the USA that vac is called the Eureka Air Excel NLS, which they are currently crowing about. | ||

They are a vast improvement But I had a chance to try some of these new ones out a while ago, they can still be beaten by the dual cyclone tech of a dc04 dyson, they work but still not as well as the original dyson one and are blown out of the water by the roots cyclones and newer ones.
I managed to get the filter sufficiently dirty within a week to reduce suction dramatically. I personally don't think dyson has anything to worry about. I still get customers bringing in dysons that are 6 to 8 years old that didn't klnow there was a filter in the machine. I do not see these new Electrolux's and Vax's been able to do the same thing | ||

TBH I didn't like the paper pleated central cones either - but to Vax's credit (or more like Dirt Devil U.S with their cheapy mini-Dynamite upright vac) my Vax uprights that used the cone filters were cleaned out every couple of months - and my little black Vax is still going with periodic washing of the filter yearly. Again, it really falls down to the maintenance of the vacuum in my experience, rather than lauding every vacuum that has the central filters as rubbish. Not all brands offer the same design, with some brands having an overly complex dust cyclone system that infers three to four parts have to be undone to get to the filters compared to Vax/Dirt Devil systems where the top filter is solely the paper pleated cone and a simple foam sponge on top of the motor under the dust bin.

Sebo fan you are right
Maintenance I had a customer bring in her Electrolux 4750 petlover yesterday. Its now 6 years old never given a day's trouble. She cleaned it out after each use and changed the filter every 6 months. It came in for a new belt and a repair to the cord. I was shocked These machines came normally ended up in our workshop just a few months after new with a blown motor due to clogged filters | ||
