Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Your effort I thank you for but I am just plain tired of claims and prolonged debates re claims of "no loss of suction,"no dust whatsoever," not to mention cylcones and whirlwinds everywhere from everybody.  You can throw in the sanitizing power of UV lights that no one will ever learn to apply properly for dust mite elimination -- unless it's employed in some sort timed robotic device.  Hello Roomba?

• Helo Venson, I have much to say about manufactures selling/conning folks with their “fool the public into thinking we have Dyson-like technologies” whirlwinds and cyclones, but will talk of Dyson.  The only prolonged debates, etc. of Dyson “no loss claims” are found here and one or two other vacuum cleaner forums where vacuum types chat.  The larger reality is, Dyson competitors cannot stop Dyson from making his “no loss of suction” claim, both here in the US via NAB and in the UK via ASA.  NAB and ASA have seen the evidence from Dyson and heard the complaints from his competitors and have made their decisions long ago in favor of Dyson.  Most importantly, the vast majority of Dyson owners who freely review their Dyson’s at review sites don't care of their Dyson pre-motor filter clogging after months of use.  They never or nearly never discuss or complain of this.

Neither company in contention, has a mouth that's a prayer book. It is not necessarily up to LG to come up with a solution -- just because the claim it made fell flat.  Let Dyson get on the band wagon too.  I don't see a solution for this coming any time soon.  Unfortunately, methods like compression of the dry contents of the dustbin plus a prescribed amount of moisture to inhibit loose dust from flying just prior to emptying would like prove as much a chore and annoyance to deal with for the average user.

• No one held a gun to LG’s head and demanded a “no dust when empting, invention”.  LG simply invented flipper “technology”, smashing and praying dust blocks pour out of the bin instead of dust plumes from the bin and high efficient collection chambers when empting.  Dyson’s formula of inventing has paid big dividends thus far, I do not see him chasing after what looks to be unsolvable.

There's not a manufacturer, even of machines I  like, that can be painted in a saintly shade.  It should be admitted that bagless vacuums and bagged vacuums with certain types of bags will provide annoyance and nuisance come time to empty and that these same machines are probably not a good fit for those with allergies or high sensitivity to household dust. 

• People with or parents of children with high sensitivities to dust, etc. need knowledge.  Dyson could and should provide video showing how easy it is to dump their vacuums contents with little dust being released, but amazingly does not!  Folks should get a bag or bagless vacuum after being fairly informed from both sides.

That said, having long in a world with a myriad of vacuum cleaners, all purported to broach all matter of the same old problems in "special" ways, the bottom line is, can the darn things clean and contain what they clean.  No matter whether the machine requires a ritual to get it up and going or can just be snatched out of the closet and good to go, what's the result? Good or bad?  To be or not to be," is still not the question.  "Can you do it the way I like when I want it done," is. 

• Agreed!  Products should just work as advertised.  Regarding “special ways”. - Blame the manufactures!  There is plenty to invent but the NIH attitudes run deep. – Good news for Dyson.        DIB

If a given vacuum can merely produce satisfying results for its owner, the world is a happy place even at the cost of a snootful of dust now and then.
