Dysons filtration?
Original Message   Feb 10, 2010 12:46 pm
How sealed are Dysons? And how good is their filtration? I know the uprights - at least the older, older ones like the DC07 and such might have potential problems with sealing, such as show in this video right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXA0N0V2uOQ However there could simply be something wrong w/ that one, who knows. BUT ANYWAYS, are the NEWER uprights COMPLETELY sealed? What about their canisters, such as the DC22, 23? Like does any air blow out of the cord reel or such, or ONLY out of the exhaust where it's SUPPOSED to come out from?

MM just look for yourself when dust statically clings to the outer side of the acrylic bin once it has been emptied!

To be fair guys we can go on and on about Dyson filtration until the cows come home and who said what and who is incorrect. End of the day Dysons and any other bagless cyclonic just isn't healthy. I've raised this issue before and I'll say it again - bags are healthier even if they do clog up and if the medical profession such as surgeries and hospitals still use vacuums with bags then there's something in that use (surely it costs more?) alone to why bagged vacuums are better, and even if buyers have to buy bags, they still have to buy drive belts for other Dyson models or anything else that happens to go wrong with it.



Add too the dyson multi-cyclones are not as effective for filtering fine dirt as paper bags.  Dyson braggarts claimed otherwise.  Better than bags.  Health issues aside for a moment, although I agree with you and they are important, the shortcomings of bagless cyclones, dyson included, is their inferior vacuum operation/performance.  To me, this is the issue of importance.

Sir James, and his followers, took HOOVER execs on for passing on/over dyson's multi-cyclones.  Even in written product literature included along with new dysons.  The reason, we were lead to believe by Sir James and his fans, was the vested interest HOOVER and other vacuum makers had in profiting from the sale of bags.  Was this true?  No.  But it helped sell dysons, at least initially.  The truth is bags are better performers for filtration than bagless.  Period.  End of story.

The seals that leak are on the sides of the machine on the tubes that run up to the bin there is one on each side,After a while they dry rot from the heat generated by the machine and the dirt blowing at them. Do you know what VITON is???

Or maybe the one that runs up the side of the brushbar housing you know the clear one thats so cheap  after 2 years sand blows thru it.

How come the dc18 baby ball sticks to the carpet and does not turn like Sir Jimmy says it should?

The machine is nothing but an overpriced, bagless panasonic, And i like and sell panasonic also And an 99.00 panasonicMC-Ug 581 will last and perform the same way for 5 to 7 years, with a belt and secondary filter change once a year.

Please take your  nonsense over the dyson only forum.

Thanks

OK I'll admit I only scanned this thread but I don't know of 1 bagless system that is a sealed system. Can you even make a bagless into a sealed system. It would take a ton of screws and much better seals that's for sure.

Unless you have a medical condition, it's irrelevant.  The moment you open the bagless canister dust will be released.    If you have no breathing problems emptying a Dyson canister, then you have no need to worry about whether the machine is completely sealed.   Completely sealed vacuums are for people with serious allergies and/or money to burn.   If you have serious allergies then you need a bagged vacuum like a Miele.  For the rest of us, it's overkill.  Do you wear a dust mask when you walk outside? 

Dysons are NOT completely sealed.   The Dyson are what they are.  Most Dyson uprights, according to Consumer Reports, are very good vacuums - just like the other 30 or so vacuums that score at least 60 out of 100 points.  There's no need to pretend that They're something that they're not.

See it just doesn't matter - if its bagless despite any brand including Dyson, it will always prove to be a health hazard.

Health hazard?  That's funny.  What I can count on this forum with all it's experts...  no solutions, not a one will be offered to help the public (multi-millions) empty their Dyson's quickly, safely and cleanly.  Thanks for your help.  I'm always amazed of all the UK'ers who willfully dump on Dyson.

Yet again Dib your argument about choking bags is flawed - if they contain dust in the first place then they aren't harming the lungs as much as Dyson or any other bin that requires secondary cleaning on the filters. And that's before you even touch the pre and after motor filters that are caked in dust on many bagless vacs. Just because you can't see the dust doesnt mean it's not airborne the moment a bagless cyclonic dust bin has been opened.

Often I see [cheap] bagless conversations (the downsides) intermingled with Dyson conversations.  I see this a lot from the bagged vacuum selling independent dealers.  Unfair and con-like.

You are a scoundrel that attacks and insults everyone on this forum, and then wonders why you're so unpopular.  You have no objectivity.  You are like an ostrich with your head buried in the dirt and lint of a Dyson dirt canister.  You insult every brand but Dyson, including those that are far superior to Dyson, and wonder why your ideas are ridiculed.

Venson,  Do you think I'm having a conversation with you and the others here only?  Web crawlers gobble my stuff up.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again . . .

Actually I believe I gave a splendid example/s.  Gasko could be giving the worst advice in the world and yet he had (I’ve not looked an quite a while) a following 100-200 times greater than the rare consumer who’s dared to show their face here seeking advice on anything.  Numbers don’t lie, when two vacuum dealers are freely giving advice online and one is ignored and one is sought out.  That’s enough proof for me (and for most).   Carmine, and others blasted the Abby newbie when he had the audacity to post his liking for the DC26.  He posted once, was blasted (or topic blasted) and left.

Again, Model2 was chased out and the guy had 100,000 views just on his DC24 Youtube video.  Carmine, Mole, Procare, Lucky1, Retardturtle and even Venson/Severus use this site as a anti-Dyosn platform for two primary reasons…  lie of Dyson (for sport) and to lie of Dyson (for profit).  Any outsider reading these boldface lies and attacks on Dyson no-doubt stays away.

Do you think Carmine, Mole, Lucky1, Procare, Retardturtle and/or Venson/Severus can prove that Dyson vacuums leak dust (blow dust) from the suction/upstream side?  I don’t.

DIB I don't see numbers meaning much in this case at all. The web is full of of people with high hit counts that give all kinds of advice. Whether the world is better for it has yet to be determined. What's called for in choosing a vacuum is clear knowledge of one's needs and plain facts.


By the way, what's a 100,000 web hits worth? Per the U.S. World and Population Clocks ( http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html ) we have about 309,000,000 inhabitants in a country where individual CD sales are not considered even fair to middling until well past the 500,000 peices mark. Speaking percentages, the 100,000 hits does not appear phenomenal.


No, personally I do not care much for Dyson and never did. I remain not much impressed with its performance and have owned bagless vacs that pleased me more whatever they may have or may have not borrowed technologically. Neither do I like Dyson's design or attachment set up – and never will.


Still I have no reason to lie and there is nothing I stand to gain by doing so. Yes, I have my ambitions and it's my hope that any advice I may have given here has been constructively helpful to all those asking but I have not received or been offered remuneration by any vac manufacturer or kindred business entity. No way in the least do I presume I've scored any points even with vac makers I often speak well of. AND – not a soul has sent me any freebies for all my yakking. My conscience is clear.


My opinions are pretty even handed and, I believe, well-founded not by number quotes but by use of more brands and machines than I can count and the experience that comes from that. If I said Dyson is over-priced I have also said that Miele, Aerus and any number of other vac manufacturers have gone way overboard on their pricing in consideration of what's being offered. I've followed suit regarding issues of performance and design.


It's foolish to harp on one specific brand as there has been no be all, end all vacuum cleaner yet made. Vacuum buyers are inundated with insignificant and confusing numbers -- amps, watts, air watts, microns, range – to leave them too stunned for a clear view of the really big numbers on price tags.


People looking for decent vacuums don't need to play number or name games. They need sound advice as to what vacuum may best provide good performance, reasonably easy use and durability per the individual budget and living situation.


Whether Dyson leaks or not is not much in my concern. Whatever the case, if someone feels they have to have a Dyson that's fine by me too. It's better to buy whatever vacuum you feel you like enough to use frequently. That will help keep flooring and furniture in your home looking better and lasting longer. We've been telling you that all along but I guess you don't believe us. Not my problem.

Venson,

Never mind the numbers (big numbers)... that's funny.

Hiya DIB,

Paris Hilton's site gets lots of hits but the value in that is also dubious.

How low or high numbers are is a matter of interpretation or spin -- ask the guys in big finance.  I think 100,000 of anything stands for a lot but  may not mean anything when the issues of volume and actual worth are brought to the table.  It also takes more than one individual's "say-so" to prove that.  You given no proper stats as to what these numbers represent or amount to on the money end.  How many additional and actual Dyson sales did the 100,000 hits lead to?

By the way, you make me laugh too but I wish you did less at your expense.

Venson
