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.

The funny thing is that I actually wanted my Dyson to outperform any other cleaner I tried it against... I like it.  I'm not anti-Dyson.[well almost]....

Give me a Hoover Concept (power drive) any day!

Why I'm not quite sure how to take that, sir.  Never heard that expression before!

VacuumFreake,

Take it as a put down.  Mole goes after Dyson the man, his products and most all James Dyson does and says, as well as those who use Dyson products or support Dyson the corp/the man.

 

Are you still interested in the Dyson-Fantom/Iona connection?...  Here's James Dyson’s pre-Iona dual cyclone U.S. patent - filed in 1984.  Here is a Fantom Capture dual cyclonic upright/dry shampooer that James’ 1st licensed to Iona and distributed in Canada/mostly America and U.S. patent - filed in 1988.         DIB
