They're dyson repairmen! I hear Fantom has a lot of open slots these days!
The only thing with those battery cleaners is you have a fun time waiting for them to charge before use! think if you have company coming over in just 2 Minutes and you suddenly have to vacuum a ton of peanuts you spilled everywhere? or worse, when you run out of battery while vacuuming! |

I have the DC59 and find the trigger to be OK. Only needs a light touch, you certainly don't have to squeeze it firmly to operate the cleaner.
You mention people relying on a Dyson cordless, presumably as their one and only vacuum cleaner, and from what I've heard that's exactly what some are doing. Personally, I'm in the same camp as you and only consider it to be a supplementary cleaner. People have asked me if I would recommend it as a full-time vacuum, to which my answer is always no, unless one happens to live in a small studio apartment (what we used to call a bedsit). For that it would be absolutely ideal. Mine gets used each day before I head off to work to clean puddy hair off the sofa, followed by a zip through the rest of the house, and not once have I ever managed to drain the battery flat in one session. Only on my days off do I get the Sebo out for a full scale vacuuming, and even then it isn't exactly finding tons of crap that the Dyson missed, because it doesn't leave much to begin with. Performs a lot better than I initially hoped for, and has definitely changed my perceptions with regard to cordless vacuums. Today's models are considerably better than the awful nicad-powered things of yesteryear, which were always underwhelming even at their best. |
