Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Motorhead,

James’ shroud development and implementation is the greatest unsung hero in the Dyson filtration success IMO.  I have not tested all the shrouds but the DC15 styled shrouds are pure genius.  I have 2 med haired cats, 1 Golden Retriever who constantly sheds much and two long haired women in my family and ZERO (or nearly) hair sticks to my DC15 style shroud if the bin is not filled over the max line.

The primary problem with the Fusion shroud is the shape, the distance to the interior bin wall and lack of Dyson-style perforated lip or disk.  When debris or hair goes into a Dyson bin, it (hair and debris) drops down and below the shroud and remains there for many reasons.  In contrast, the Fusion is pretty much a blender and the hair and debris is flying all over and back up and against the shroud, giving great opportunity to suck lightweight hair, etc. into it.

The Fusion on HSN:  When this hair sticks onto the shroud the Hoover rep intentionally misleads folks into believing this hair sticking is a common problem with (Dyson’s) cyclonic vacuums or as the rep says… “the more expensive $400, $500, $600 machines – that are the rage in the industry”.  But Hoover being the great engineers they are, have made the clear bin removable so a user can place their face and hands into the shroud area so to remove this dirty, filthy, dusty mess (from the shroud).  All the while Dave Shimkus NEVER responds to this Hoover garbage claim with a Dyson response claim and fact…  Dyson’s rarely get shroud clog.

The old Fusion demo is on HSN/YouTube amazingly, even when Hoover can no longer legally claim No Loss of Suction in their marketing, HSN still shows the old No Loss of Suction demo, as pictured below.        DIB
