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...

DIB, QUIT INSULTING PEOPLE! It makes you look like a child! I really appreciate you're passion for Dysons, but please, for your own sake, stop insulting people who don't agree with you - argue sure, but "goof"? No need dude, unless you were simply kidding around :P I do however agree that this guy is simply a Miele suck up as he even sates that "Sebo's are not sealed vacuums" - BAHAHAHAHA! What a chump. Anyways, I'm really curious if Dysons are completely sealed from a Design standpoint - like how much effort did they put in to make sure the system is air tight. This matters because A.) Dust will fly into the other housings of the unit and gunk it up and B.) Air born allergens from outside aren't as harmful as those being sucked out of the rug. Either way, I'm sure it's not a big deal in terms of vacuuming cleanliness, as they're obviously sealed ENOUGH, but I'm just wondering if they're COMPLETELY sealed? Can someone at least answer if there's any air coming out of the cord rewind on the canister models? According to this web site: http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/dyson-stowaway-dc23-motorhead-canister-vacuum-cleaners.html?itemId=2420, the Dyson DC23 has sealed HEPA filtration - "We tested the sealed HEPA filtration system to confirm that it expels only clean air. The HEPA filter is washable and the vacuum is bagless, which means no vacuum cleaner bag costs! We found that the bin to be hygienic and easy to empty." There are links to other Dyson vacuums, so you can read their comments on them as well.

Just poking my nose in to say "I told you so:"Opinion to follow, I think Dysons look pretty neat. I have never used one but would like to try one just for the heck of it. I wish they were a little more wallet friendly for a plastic machine, but hey they are all going plastic. I think the comment in an above post is right on. Even if a machine is totally sealed, once you go to empty the dust container, it is going to be open so it's all moot anyway. Look at Filter Queen. A fine machine, great suction, good durability, good filteration. BUT--you end up taking it outside and dumping it like a shop-vac. Something seems lost in the process for me. The old Kirbys were not so great filteration, and then you dumped them on a newspaper and let more dirt fly. Still there is nothing that I could say bad about a Kirby. But I will always admit to being partial. The Rainbow was supposed to trap all the dirt in water washed air. But there is some dirt that is hydrophobic and would escape in the air path. It was good in theory. In the end you could do worse than a Dyson, you may be able to do better; but it's you that you have to please. If you like it, it works for you, you can afford it. Go for it. |

Just, that's not fair! You're stating perfect common sense.

Hi Severus: Good link to allergy buyers web site. If I recall, you posted this site before here. And I was impressed tho may not have mentioned at the time. Looks like MIELE and SEBO vacuums get the highest andmost number of excellent ratings, even the newest MIELE S7 upright series, even if not all their [MIELE/SEBO] models are actually HEPA rated and/or sealed vacuum systems. Thanks for posting. Carmine D. I agree with you that the allergy sites tend to be good sources of information for allergy sufferers. They should get a lot of feedback from their customers about what works and what doesn't. However, they don't seem to be nearly as rigorous as CR in their testing. I would agree that people with serious medical conditions should stick with a bagged vacuum or even a central vacuum. Miele's superior filtration does come at a price. I'm not sure, but Riccar and Simplicity may have filtration comparable to Miele. You could always visit the Tacony vacuum museum in St. James, MO and get one at the factory store.
