well stated Tayab and thank you for opening the door...
Gotta comment. If you gather together most of what jmurray posts you realize he is a lad unfortunately plagued with an uncontrollable urge to qualify his opinions in a cloak of despair and negativity, even when he likes something. There is always some whiff of implied negative spin, based on what...we do not know. Some call it amusing wit - I call it a sad and a terrible affliction to view the world this way, really. It has been pointed out before by others. After his latest timeout 'ban' I had hoped for signs of a maturing improvement. Alas this latest post proves otherwise. With his over 3,223 posts in just over two years, he continues to be oppressed under a dark cloud of unfounded 'dysonitis hateus' and never fails to remind us so. I urge you JM to find the joy in your life despite the mire of your travails. Your baleful whining earns you no congeniality points in generally happy upbeat Vacuumland. There, I said it, for those who wanted to but wish to remain anonymous. respectfully, Dave This post was last edited 01/24/2013 at 05:17 |

As a huge dyson fan I really love the twin chamber dc03, I have a mint purple and green one and just the other day got a much abused but all their yellow and grey one. The dc03 was never sold in SA our first dysons were the dc14 and 08 although there are many early models here.
I really hope you get it its a great vacuum |

It would be nice if Jamie could explain why he doesn't like Dyson, rather than having other members explain for him. |

There ease of use and convenience and there cool cyclonic technology but the main reason I do not like Dyson is because they are bagless, I don't mind the bagless but I much prefere bagged. The other main reason I don't like them is because they are...well... Dyson, in my opinion they took the place of every other vacuum manufacture from the bagged market which is the reason for all the other bagless cleaners, some may say well the other manufactures didn't have to go bagless, well, they did if they wanted to keep up with the market and give consumers what they wanted for half the cost of a dyson to keep there sales growing. But that is just my veiw, you may disagree. Alex |

As far as bagless cleaners go, Dyson are unrivalled. However, I firmly believe there are far higher performing, better quality and cheaper bagged cleaners available on the market. Dyson are incredibly over-rated and over priced, and there advertising is very misleading with regards to maintenance - it never ceases to amazes me how many people don't know you have to clean the filters.
Overall, they're not bad. I wouldn't buy one new in a million years and would only ever recommended them to a consumer on the basis that they absolutely insisted on a bagless cleaner |

I have previously explained in great detail why I do not like Dysons, but just for you Jeff, I shall explain again.
1) Dysons do not achieve deep down cleaning in the carpet pile because the bristles are too short and soft and the brush roll lacks any beating function. 2) The "lifetime filters" advertising is a lie as when I got my DC04 (which I did not like Michael, hence my selling it after less than a month) the pre-motor filters were caked in dirt which could not be washed off. 3) To empty a Dyson (especially the models lacking a "trap door") is a very messy affair as dust always puffs out of the cyclone upon removal. 4) How many Dysons (especially DC07s) do you see on eBay with "needs new motor" in the title? 5) The build quality of the Dysons I've used (DC01, DC04 and DC07) is atrocious hence the increasing lack of DC01s in circulation. 6) The stretch hoses always split within a few years of purchase and acquiring a new one is far from cheap if you want a genuine Dyson replacement. I could go on but don't wish to bore you. I have nothing against people who love Dysons - good on you all, but I do not and refuse to have my mouth taped shut (metaphorically of course, though I'm sure a few members would volunteer to do it literally). For this reason I shall continue to use my vintage Hoovers and Electroluxes which have (bar one) all original parts and work 100% as intended. |

Sorry Jamie, whilst I'm with you on the dislike of Dysons, some of your reasons are absolute crap and completely invalid as, at your own admission, you have only owned one for a month.
1. the state of the filters are entirely dependant on the user. The machine even has notices written on the front of it to wash the filters, it's the responsibility of the user. Whereas I agree that cleaning the filters and emptying the unit is particularly messy and would much rather just throw a bag in a bin
3. the DC01's are still pretty common. I know of a fair few on use and HUNDREDS of them crop up on ebay. Same with the DC04's. Certainly a hell of a lot more DC01's still in daily use than there are Hoover Turbopower 2's and Lux Contours from the same period.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not singing Dyson's praises. As you know, I'm no fan of them. But a hell of a lot of what you said is ridiculous and completely invalid given that you have very little experience of using one. |

"What are you talking about have you seen how many are listed on eBay?!?!" Indeed I have, but compared to 5 or 6 years ago the number has dropped drastically.
Since the DC01 was the biggest seller for Dyson (or so my memory tells me) there are naturally going to be more there but the number breaking down due to the typical "brittle plastic" is still on the rise. On my last trip to the dump I saw three DC01s in the electricals section with broken off handles and cleaning heads. |
