In terms of performance - I vacuumed the house from top to bottom with the full sized DC55 one day, and the next had a quick wizz through with the V6 - This is what it got. I was quite impressed

I have the same model, except the equivalent model in the US has a HEPA exhaust filter (V6 Absolute). It's be the best cordless vacuum I've ever used, and a vast improvement in performance over the DC35. I love all the tools, and it's a wonderful machine for cleaning out the car (that extra stretch hose is must for the cordless dysons). Both cleaner heads are awesome. The fluffy head is a little wobbly in operation, but also very fun to use, and the results on bare floors when using it are incredible. The cyclonic filtration is excellent, and unlike the last-gen model, I've yet to wash the pre-filter (even with regular use it hasn't needed it). The machine is just so handy and versatile. Although I like the different charger options, I think the wall mount is awesome. I love that I can just grab it and go!
My gripes with the machine after about 8 months of ownership are minor. The bin is messy to empty, and the shroud in the bin requires frequent cleaning (worse than the last-gen hand vacs, it clogs quickly). I have an early model, and I've noticed that on new models it has been fixed, but both filters fall off/out very easily, to the point of annoyance (I've accidentally lost the pre-filter outdoors before because it fell out and I hadn't noticed). The odd thing is that I owned a DC59 Animal before upgrading, and had no issues with the filter falling out at all. Parwaz - If I were to compare the cleaning performance of the American DC41, and the US equivalent to the MK2 (Their best upright, I like it SO much more than the Cinetic), I would put carpet cleaning of the DC41 at a 65, and the new Ball Multi-floor model at an 80. The cleaner head on the new model is a vast improvement, and leaves much prettier carpet lines. Bare floors I would give the new ball multi-floor a 100, and the original DC41 a 90 (Dysons uprights do a shockingly-good job on hard floors). I hope this helps! |

True, I guess the UK Cinetic DC75 is the best |

In the US, the cleaner heads on the two are identical, so performance was identical (just like the UK model equivalents). I didn't care for how huge the big ball was. It's a huge vacuum cleaner. The Cinetic's filtration system is the best multi-cyclonic setup on the market, but the lack of a pre-filter on the machine is downright arrogant design. The Dyson Cinetic uprights are all going to let a ton of dirt through the motor during their lifetime. The two Hepa exhaust filters is welcome, but without a pre-filter to catch dander, those dual hepa filters are going to start to stink in homes with pet owners. The bin on the Cinetic was also messy to empty, because the filtration system takes up so much space inside the bin, so the bin actually holds fairly little.
I can't recommend the Cinetic, because even though it has the best bagless filtration system, it's not so good that it shouldn't have a pre-motor filter. The DC41 MK2 is a better machine that will probably run longer, and it's lighter and more nimble. |

Love the ink. And what a great quote from the song. While I don't yet have full sleeves, they are about 80% covered. Even have three that are somewhat related to vacuums. Tats make us unique, they are works of art. Don't ever let anyone say anything negative to you about them. It's your body. I think they're gorgeous. I spent two days have two fighting eagles with swords and shields, facing each other, put across my shoulders and chest for Christmas two years ago.

I personally think the kinetic Sciences and it claims a true and I think it will be fine unless the owner uses it on too much plaster dust, and I think the few that have had the dust go through worth faulty and I noticed all the ones that I seen that has been letting through dust were the one particular model the purple one which was the first come out and the problem only seems to affect the first lot of kinetic big ball when they first came out and doesn't seem to affect modeller came out few months after words which was only different colour.

For (Cinetic) science, I cut out and added a small pre-filter to my Cinetic, over the motor inlet. During the short time I used mine, a good amount of fine dust collected on the filter.
If enough people wise-up to this glaring flaw, there's going to be a class-action lawsuit against them, for their deceitful claims of "no filter maintenance." Such a shame. The vacuum has an advanced level-3 root cyclone system, and it's their best yet. With a simple pre-motor filter, they could protect their flagship model. It pisses me off that the DC17 (the original beastly level-3 model) devolved into this trash. This kind of stuff continues to stifle my love of this innovative company. They market this thing (HEAVILY) like it's THE next great thing in vacuums, and it's deceptive. This post was last edited 12/22/2015 at 04:59 |

God, Matt, I insult you regularly about your face and generally squalid personality, I didn't think my comments about your scaley-tat would bother you one way or the other :P |

Matt8808, it does say that but if you look on Dyson's Website on the phone it will show you the correct aw.

Along with the main dyson website, currys and Amazon both have them listed at 120aw too. Are you sure dysons mobile site isn't incorrect?

It has always been misleading. Air watts is a Dyson marketing word - it stands above the call of actual performance because it reinforces the old promise of 100% suction all the time and it was continually used as a measure alongside the claims that Dyson made.
There's a lot of truth in this video even if it is a push for central vac system. |
