Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson is in the news frequently and so a dedicated thread.

Hi Venson:

Does it say if the 10 DC21 reviews are done by dyson engineers/workers?

A digital motor is not going to help DYSON'S consumer reports ratings, The motor is a very small factor in the way a vacuum cleaner picks up dirt.

B.T.W cyclones and location of cyclones and if it uses 1 or 200 DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.

Dysons is ranked right where it should be and are lucky thats where they are...........Im sorry i cant sugarcoat this opinion.........

ITs the way the whole system works.....

Hiya Carmine,

The reviews appear legit.  Matter fact one out the ten isa highly unfavorable.  However the remainder speak well of the DC21 save for mention, far more than once, I stated before. It took a little doing but I'm sending you a PDF re the DC21 comments.

Best,

Venson

Mole,

Dyson has said the DDM increases airflow by as much as 1/3rd, this increase will help with filtration tremendously.  If Dyson were to 86 the floating nozzle and install a brushroll with full rows of tuffs, he would indeed rise considerably in CR’s rankings.

The distributing of dust ladened air into multiple tapered cyclones is science.  All the major players are copying Dyson’s lead in this type of science.        DIB

Thank you Venson.  I got them earlier today.  I'll read and cogitate on them.

Hi Venson:

Thanks for taking the time and effort to send these CR reviews to me in a PDF format.  I read through them and found them very sincere and informative.

If I recall, the longest ownership, and therefore usage, by the 10 users is 6 months with several saying only a month or two.  Most of the 10 did not say the period of ownership and usage.  I would like to know that information when I read a customer's vacuum review.  I would be interested to hear from owners/users after say a year: i.e when the honeymoon period is over.  Hence, my reason in part for asking about the performance of the latest dyson motor technology: The digital motor. 

Just to add to what you already said about the reviews:  One user wished the power head came with a light [no relation to me].  Another user wished the head had a rug height adjustment [again, no relation to me].  And still another user said the dyson DC21 was pet friendly, having a yellow lab who gradually adjusted nicely to the dyson cann [no relation to me and/or my yellow lab].  Since I have harped or carped [as MOLE would say] about these features for dysons and other vacuums, I found them interesting coming from others.

Thanks my friend.

Not to get off-topic from the current discussion (but getting back into the original theme of the thread), I hear that in April 2009 the DDM canister (DC22 perhaps?) will finally be released to the US market.  This Christmas we're getting the DC16 KnuckleDuster corded handheld.

Thanks Motorhead.  Lets hope the DC22 has a good wand assembly...  no more DC21 like wand and all it’s limitations and heavy weight.  With Dyson-like cyclonic's becoming a commodity and not a Dyson [only] exclusive, I believe these "cyclonic commodities" will be judge on all the value trades [as always] but maintence too [how often or how much of a hastle pre-filter cleaning is].  For me and in my opinion the DC22 is worthless as a breakthru product if it cannot go for 1 year minimum until pre-filer maintence is required.  It is a cyclonic race and Dyson the leader of 20 years should have an explosive clear cut filtering winner!

A corded DC16 or alike is needed if the price point is not insanely high.  The Knuckleduster to some [maybe many?] is slang for “Brass Knuckles”.  I like the name when I first heard of it [Moose posted the Trademark reg], but is it worth it?  I am no marketing guy, so I ask...  Having KuckleDuster sounding close to a DustBuster 1) Is this the fast track to getting Knucklebuster int to minds of consumers or 2) some other reason/s or 3) bad idea/bad idea to some?
