How sealed are Dysons? And how good is their filtration? I know the uprights - at least the older, older ones like the DC07 and such might have potential problems with sealing, such as show in this video right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXA0N0V2uOQ However there could simply be something wrong w/ that one, who knows. BUT ANYWAYS, are the NEWER uprights COMPLETELY sealed? What about their canisters, such as the DC22, 23? Like does any air blow out of the cord reel or such, or ONLY out of the exhaust where it's SUPPOSED to come out from? BTW Who ever claimed that the upright leaked on the suction side.I think Dubber spun it into that.We all know that they leak thru the cyclones and into the lifetime hepa filter, Just look for yourself and see how the dust bin rocks side to side when mounted into the reciever.

MM just look for yourself when dust statically clings to the outer side of the acrylic bin once it has been emptied!
To be fair guys we can go on and on about Dyson filtration until the cows come home and who said what and who is incorrect. End of the day Dysons and any other bagless cyclonic just isn't healthy. I've raised this issue before and I'll say it again - bags are healthier even if they do clog up and if the medical profession such as surgeries and hospitals still use vacuums with bags then there's something in that use (surely it costs more?) alone to why bagged vacuums are better, and even if buyers have to buy bags, they still have to buy drive belts for other Dyson models or anything else that happens to go wrong with it.
Add too the dyson multi-cyclones are not as effective for filtering fine dirt as paper bags. Dyson braggarts claimed otherwise. Better than bags. Health issues aside for a moment, although I agree with you and they are important, the shortcomings of bagless cyclones, dyson included, is their inferior vacuum operation/performance. To me, this is the issue of importance.
Sir James, and his followers, took HOOVER execs on for passing on/over dyson's multi-cyclones. Even in written product literature included along with new dysons. The reason, we were lead to believe by Sir James and his fans, was the vested interest HOOVER and other vacuum makers had in profiting from the sale of bags. Was this true? No. But it helped sell dysons, at least initially. The truth is bags are better performers for filtration than bagless. Period. End of story. Carmine D.

The seals that leak are on the sides of the machine on the tubes that run up to the bin there is one on each side,After a while they dry rot from the heat generated by the machine and the dirt blowing at them. Do you know what VITON is??? Or maybe the one that runs up the side of the brushbar housing you know the clear one thats so cheap after 2 years sand blows thru it. How come the dc18 baby ball sticks to the carpet and does not turn like Sir Jimmy says it should? The machine is nothing but an overpriced, bagless panasonic, And i like and sell panasonic also And an 99.00 panasonicMC-Ug 581 will last and perform the same way for 5 to 7 years, with a belt and secondary filter change once a year. Please take your nonsense over the dyson only forum. Thanks MOLE
