Not sure of your specifics but I can tell you the so called LIFETIME HEPA filters do not last a Lifetime and when clogged the machines won't run. That's a pretty firm loss of suction right there.
These findings are the bases for the ASA warnings to dyson to cease and desist on the 'exaggerated claims' of No loss of suction and never clogs else suffer consequences.

Merry Mollie Christmas to you, Lol. I'm goin with 100% suction since this is what the masses understand and the number one reason they abandon the sack. Dyson Invents Big illusions. Then please explain to the forum why the team of brain surgeons had to cut back on the airwatts so the revolutionary cyclones a DYSON exclusive would not get overwhelmed by the extra suction. If it had double the airwatts would it have 200% of the suction all the time?. Try and get your head around this before you answer. MOLE For me this topic is boring and that’s why I have not even bothered to learn the math. Another way to say it is... I can care less and I bet 99.99% of the U.S. population can care less too. I would like to talk about what I believe interests all who walk into an independent... Why a vacuum that is considered ‘nothing special’ in Europe, somehow, someway transforms into an exotic and is priced as an exotic (at dealerships) after taking the boat-ride over? Turn-a-bout is fair play. Dyson Invents Big

If your referring to the Miele it's because: They are made really well. There are issues with cord reels and dust channels on some older models but the newer ones have addressed the problem very well. They are an Excellent Company to deal with and have a good concept of the need for Independents and the service they provide (albeit they are testing the waters of large retailers and their own website sales that are getting close to being a problem). They are very technician friendly, (some I could work on blindfolded). They are repairable. They have easily redeemable Warranties. Customers generally don't have to box them up, pay for shipping and wait weeks for warranty work. Most models are made in Germany where Labor, Environment, Copyright, etc Laws are respected. They are also tied to a floating currency.

Turn-a-bout is fair play. Dyson Invents Big The question is: Do you really expect us to believe that you, of all, know what is of interest to USA indie shoppers? WRT your wondering how a brand is transformed magically by an ocean cruise, perhaps it's not the fault of the product that it is not valued and appreciated but the people/culture. What do you think? What does the Book say: A prophet is not recognized in his own town. You praise with adulation some Japanese customers/neighbors who get all warm and fuzzy inside over dyson's teeny tiny vacuum inventions. Then laugh off the sophisticated value oriented customers who buy quality products with reputations for 20 years of service. Where you stand is a result of where you sit. Carmine D.

It should be noted that if that was a real christmas tree with real pine needles, it would block up the chutes and elbows and airpaths on the dyson shown on display,as it would on any other vacuum thats set up the same way, I believe the consumer would care less about the constant suction garbage when it takes 5 hours to clean it out.OOPS anothjer dyson refurb. MOLE
MOLE:
Are you finding that dyson DC07 and DC14 models after age are problematic? With these pieces and parts falling off and loosening during operations? Leading to dust and dirty air leakage into the room, loss of suction, and just a complete nuisance with keeping them on properly for users. Carmine D.
Carmine sorry it took a while to reply to your question. The dc07/14 has held up on par with machines of the same build quality such as panasonic,bissell, dirt devil,some hoover machines, bottom end sanitaires etc. All in all the dyson is sealed up very well it will take a few more years to see how much fatigue under normal use the housings can take, the plastic [brittle problem] looks to be corrected. Their biggest headache is still in the brushroll, bearing department. A true circuit breaker set up in the dc17 would of been a big plus, but for some reason they just wont go all the way in making the machine user friendly, I mean why use a geared tooth belt and no true circuit breaker.For the price of the breakers its cheap insurance and makes for a happier customer.

MOLE: the reason they won't use a circuit breaker is for two reasons; in theory a toothed belt should last longer and if it doesn't then secondly it means a cost way of charging the Dyson owner if the model is out of warranty. Hi vacmanuk, I think in this case if a brushroll driven with a toothed belt stalls due to some obstruction there is a strong possibility of burning out its drive motor if there is no circuit breaker to turn off the drive motor. The resulting damage is much more costly than just a belt replacement. Venson

Thanks MOLE. Based on the pattern of discontinuance of ALL previous dyson upright models, service considerations are not in the dyson repertoire. DC17 and DC27 are going the way of DC07 and DC14. Gone. Like the DC18 and on and on. It's about new product sales and scrub repairs. Lucky 1 made this observation here recently. I agree with him. That's the reason in large part dyson never warmed up to indies with its products and went the big box route right out of the gate here in the USA. And also the emphasis on non-vacuum products of late.
BTW, as you know the use of circuit breakers, fail safe switches etc, are features of better made and sold vacuum products. Carmine D.
