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.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Dustmite,
Are you saying that you don't have a problem with a $400-$600 vacuum leaving out features like circuit breakers to protect the motor? To me it's a sign that Dyson is not doing their homework. These aren't state of the art features being left out. These are features that have been around for a very long time, and for good reason. Tom Gasko once said that Dyson really needed to hire a vacuum historian so that they would avoid making stupid design mistakes (I'm paraphrasing, he was a little more diplomatic). It sounds like Tom was right on the money.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Dyson Invents Big DiB-ster: Vacuums were a vocation for me for over 42 years, not a job. How about you? No need to lie. The products, the men who make/sell speak for themselves. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone in the vacuum world. I'm saying I discovered the truth about the vacuum industry after 55 plus years of experience and don't buy into marketing propaganda and shill speak. Carmine D.

Agree, SEVERUS, better made/sold vacuums at the same price/less dyson vacuums have these inexpensive and simple features. For the good of the product and the customers.
I also agree with Tom Gasko. Dyson lacks the historical knowledge of the vacuum industry needed to prevent making the same mistakes and misques as those who went before. Carmine D.
