well
There louder then most newer machines, awful filtration they literally blow the dust out, build quality is literally non existent, juniors have that annoying issue with the brush roll clips vibrating not to mention the terrible hose suction and the fact the belts always snap, seniors are very heavy, turbopowers crack, split and vibrate not to mention they are loud, have poor hose suction and tp2s have the issue with the brush roll bearings and bag doors not to mention being heavy and quite frankly not that good, older machines may perform better on carpets but have many issues that people need you need to consider, I like my older machines but couldn't be bothered with them all the time, modern machines are a vast improvement over the 70s cleaners just because the dont beat the living daylights out of the carpet doesn't mean they dont clean to a high standard, obviously the dc01 is not a good machine at all really lol, my point is, is that you dont need to get a Hoover with activator the clean carpets when there are many modern machines that will perform to a good standard. I guarantee this will fall on deaf ears as collectors are as stubborn red wine stain on a shag pile carpet.

There is no rating plate pictures- And the pictures of the supposed broken dyson are all different! The 1st Dyson has no rating plate sticker and lime green DC04 tools. The other 3 have matching tools and no sticker. Why would you put 1 picture of the actual machine, and then 3 pictures of a newer machine with no relevance to the "Broken" Dyson (How often do I hear the term "Broken Dyson"! | ||

All of those AND MORE..... Can be found in a FANTOM! I just got done scrubbing down a nice THUNDER model, Such a lovely and efficient cleaner! I could care less for a clutch, The belt's a LOT easier to replace without it!
Here's some FANTOM features for you:
The Following are what the Thunder excels in compared to modern bagless cleaners (Especially Dyson!)
I need to Drag that DC07 I hang on to and show you how the Fantom leaves it in the dust | ||

a challenger has appeared! Please, the last time I went to empty a DC07 the bin broke every plastic piece it could!
In what world does Kirby have a telescoping handle? I'll be putting the Thunder against the DC07 shortly, then you'll understand why the Fantom is superior.
And yes,I do tend to vacuum in power outages
Back on subject, glad to see the new replacement is ready. Have you seen my 1950s scanning thread over in the household forum? I upload an old add for Citroen cars, and I know I have at-least one other to scan. | ||

The downfall of Fantom
was the fact that there was NO pre-motor filtration on the Thunder and Fury. Just a screen to catch 'fluff'. The idea was to fill the $75 Hepa filter every two years. Once James invented MEMA filters (Maximum Efficiency - Maximum Airflow) that could be washed, Fantom wanted nothing to do with them. They were "in the business" of selling filters. Which is one reason James did NOT allow them to use his patents after the ten year contract expired.
To the Dyson's credit, even the first model (DC01) had a pre-motor filter. | ||

boooo MEMA filters, And you bet your bwerks it will be on YouTube! So far the results are in Fantom's favor, but I'm even giving the DC07 a second chance to beat the Fantom by washing the filters. The tests should be done by next week.I'll start a thread with the results.
I empty my DC07 like a baby-still broke everywhere! | ||

The Dyson DC01 and DC02 Cyclone handle carry handles are indestructible! You will never see one snapped off, even if its thrown off a cliff or used in a commercial environment | ||
