I guess that clears things up then? So why have two independent sources claimed the filters only need attention every 7 years? |

So if you have to wash both filters each month, it actually requires much more filter-care than previous models? Despite the DDM not having any carbon-emissions? |

I see your screenshots are for the UK DC22 manual - the UK version doesn't use the DDM! Hence, perhaps, the need to wash the post-motor filter more often? |

Brandon - you say your Dyson died after 9 months...if your mom spent $500 on it, why didn't she get it repaired, free of charge, under the warranty? |

Because we had bought a kirby right after it died, and it was cleaning so much more. And the warranty was good for nothing as the store closed, and my mom was not willing to fight with Dyson. |

As long as you have your proof of purchase Dyson will be able to deal with the warranty... Thats what Dyson Aus do anyway... The only time anyone else gets involved is when the customer actually goes to the store... |

When the first Dyson canister arrived in North America (with the troublesome turbo carpet nozzle), Consumer Reports rated it very well when it came to cleaning everything except carpets and rugs. Dyson indeed has an ongoing problem with cleaning carpets well, as good as they are with cleaning other surfaces. I have a major complaint about the new North American version of the Motorhead. I find the telescopic wand far too bulky to use, and you can not remove it from the hose to connect attachments directly to the hose, like you can with the non-power-nozzle version. So again, Dyson's attempts at adding carpet cleaning to a very good suction canister have failed in my opinion. What's the good of a canister vacuum if you can't dust a shelf full of books with ease - the non-removeable wand puts your hand much too far from the dusting brush to do this with ease.

I can also testify that Dysons are one of the worst cleaners for losing suction after owning 4 of the pieces of that crap and use one in my part time job, all different models suposedly improvements on the previous model and all have failed miserably. Dyson did the only thing he could to make his cleaners look like they do something by using clear plastic bins and a cyclonic system that fluffs up dirt and triples it or more in volume. While folk may fill their Dyson with each use the collected fluff is hardly compressed, which is why you empty the dust cannister so often. Bagged cleaners compact the dirt hence why the bag dosnt need changing so often. Im sure if bagless was the way then Miele would have used it a long time ago. Not to mention that dysons brushrolls are useless at removing grit embedded in carpets. Only today did I use my Miele cylinder in my part time cleaning job where I usually use a Dyson upright (which I also maintain regularly by washing the filters monthly or suction drops so dramtically) The Miele literally wiped the floor with the Dyson and I ended up with 1/3 dustbag of grit and another 3rd of fluff. Im now old and wise enough to know that a house cleaned with a Dyson is a dirty house. ~One day bagged cleaners will regain popularity when they are seen as a new and more hygienic way of managing dust. BAGGED ALL THE WAY YEE HAW!!!!! |

I have a DC07 and actually enjoy it. Even though they may not be the best deep cleaners for those of us with real thick carpet pile, they are still great vacuums in my opinion. Even so, my DC07 does pull up a LOT of dirt and grit from the carpets. The suction at the hose end is pretty impressive, compared to other bagless vacuums I have tried. Everybody has their own view on different types of machines and their abilities. I’m actually craving a brand new Dyson to add to my collection.

I just took a fast look at the Consumer Reports website (I have an online subcription). And indeed the Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal has a rating of "very good" for carpet cleaning. CR has five levels of rating: poor, fair, good, very good and excellent. In the area of deep carpet cleaning, the only Dyson to rate a "very good" is the DC17 Absolute Animal - all the others rate only "good" in carpet cleaning. There are five other upright vacs that rate excellent in carpet cleaning and are actually cheaper than the Dyson DC17 which sells for $550. The better machines are all three versions of the new Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary Edition, the unbelievably inexpensive Hoover Tempo Widepath ($80), and the Eureka Boss 4D. There are two others which rate excellent at deep carpet cleaning, but they are more expensive than the Dyson DC17. They are the Kirby Sentria at $1350 and the Riccar Brilliance at $900. Remember, I am only talking about the test for deep carpet cleaning, not any other feature like ease-of-use or filtration or noise level. In the canister/cylinder/tank category, there are at least 10 other vacs that clean carpets better that the Dyson Stowaway DC23 and DC 21. These 2 Dysons rate only a "good" at cleaning carpet, whereas the Electrolux Oxygen married to a Eureka powernozzle rates "excellent" and actually costs less than the Dysons. The new bagged Hoover canister married to a Hoover Windtunnel power nozzle also outcleans the Dysons on carpeting. |
