Dysons filtration? Original Message Feb 10, 2010 12:46 pm
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?
Also, for all those who don't believe in Dysons durability, check out these reviews by people who have had them for all well over 6 years, some even 15 years old! http://reviews.argos.co.uk/1493-en_gb/4064389/reviews.htm
What does this have to do with the original question of how sealed are Dysons?
What a con vacmanuk... I've been responding and attacking the lie and the 'defy physics con' of Dyson suction side leaks (dust into a home and breathed into lungs). I've also been attacking the credibility of those making such claims. Is this a problem?
You’re getting on this conversation awfully cheap.Trust me, I’ve got plenty to say of the UK'ers 'blame Dyson whiners' - perhaps for another time. In the meantime, maybe anti-UKgrowth would be a better descriptor for a user name.

MM Im sure you have. But then I've got plenty to say regarding U.S buyers and what they are conned into believing. You have already said plenty and in past posts it is clear that nothing else beats your love of Dyson vacs and I admire that. Perhaps you should change your name to DysonIncitesBull$#%* because for the most part all you seem to do is argue your case about Dyson with very little back up and proposed theories in how people on here jump to their own decisions. I suggest you take a feather and tie it onto the outside of your Dyson bin, and if you have a cylinder/canister model tie it onto the back of where the cable recesses. Make a video of it. If it blows gently then guess what - the Dyson leaks air.

Another UK vacman con. It's probably just a feather that can fly. After all, feathers do come off birds. Dah!
LOL I can see myself being overcome by incense at this rate, Venson!
vacmanUK, I was being facetious. Although, in the Jerry Ruben MIELE/dyson demo he does what you suggest. He places some cotton like substance over the seal/housing of the filter and it flies into space.
WRT incense, good Catholic altar boy training allowed me to develop an immunity to the incense smell/smoke that still is effective today after all these years. Nothing like first hand real life experience and training to last one's entire lifetime. Live long live strong.
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...
So how rigorous is the testing by the British Allergy Foundation which certifies the filtration of the Dyson vacuums? Has "Which?" found any problems with Dyson's filtration? I may be wrong, but I get the impression that the filtration testing that is done across the pond is a little more rigorous that what is done here. I was a little surprised to see that almost every vacuum tested by Consumer Reports has an excellent score for filtration.
I did notice on another vacuum blog a thread entitled:
Allergy Season-Dyson gets put up-Rainbow gets used
Apparently there are at least some Dyson users (more generally bagless vacuum users), who have problems with emptying a bagless vacuum during allergy seasons.

At last! It all boils down to testing by organisations and not true findings by the owners of vacuums such as Dyson.
Silly me, here was me thinking I had found a forum by vacuum cleaner owners who could relay their own experiences instead of relying on what larger companies find.
