Re: “Anything” Dyson that makes news.

The DC15 is far from dead. Dyson can do much with this diamond in the rough. Plug up the air-leak (the debris channel) and it will out-suck all Dyson steerables. IMO, the DC15’s nozzle is a disaster and needs reworking and should not be all that hard or expensive to do. The cyclones are a bit heavy and should not be hard or expensive to fix too or simply snapping a Core + Root set of cyclones (and bin) onto a DC15 should not take much effort or cost too. Change up the color scheme and/or nozzle and/or cyclonic filters and Dyson will have a provable - worlds best filtering, steerable full sized upright.

P.S. About 6 months ago, Dyson changed up the color schemes on their oldest vacuum, the DC07 and bundled it with $50-$90 of Dyson accessories and sold 10,000 units in 12 hours. The largest one day sale of any Dyson at HSN. People want Dyson’s no matter how long it has been on the market.
Well it sure ain't on the UK website, neither is the DC18.
The USA site has no sign of the DC15 either. Any that are on sale in the stores, will be old stock that people are not buying.

The DC15 is old hat. That model has been superceded by the DCs 18, 24 & 25. Even the DC18 has been made obsolete. Any major improvements in weight, steering etc. seem to justify the release of a new model. True, Dyson sometimes makes small modifications to a current model; witness the modified soleplate and cyclone assembly of DC07, but major alterations mean a new machine. R.I.P. the DC15 and the DC18. |

Can anyone tell me what happened to Friendly Robotics' robot cleaner, the RV400? Is it still on sale;? Has anybody seen it in operation, close at hand? It apparently had the vacuum cleaner parts designed by Hoover USA. |

So far Roomba is the visionary leader in the area of at least lessening the effort of floor cleaning and Dyson and everyone else has long way to go. However . . . Venson
I certainly wouldn't class IRobot's Roomba as lessening the effort of floor cleaning. They need quite a lot of hands-on maintenance to keep the brushes free from hairs which can cause the bearings and gear boxes to knacker up. The cheap plastic that makes up the Roomba seems to attract the dust excessively. Carpet fluff gets into inaccessible areas; you have to hoover it out. Complete waste of time. It is basically a motorised carpet sweeper, with a separate suction intake.
No, if you want a decent robot cleaner, the Electrolux Trilobite is a much cleaner machine. All the fluff released by the agitator goes up the suction tube, because the suction port is within the agitator cavity. The Trilobite's plastic seems to be far more anti-static than the Roomba's. The Trilobite has a far better filter system too.

"Powerful 15.6 volts of suction power". They've mangled that! Since when did voltage equate to suction power? |
