comparing the dyson with the 90's fantoms Original Message Jul 21, 2008 11:24 am
I was just watching my Fantom Fury video (have the video, not the machine though I was obsessed with them as a teenager) and it said that if the dirt in the chamber ever stopped spinning, the user should check the machine for a clog.
My Dyson DC14 actually has baffles in the dirt chamber that inhibit spinning of the dirt. When I vacuum with it, the dirt just kind of lays in the chamber without moving. The cat hair usually gets stuck on the baffles, and the heavier sand falls to the back of the chamber as the reclined position of the handle would dictate.
