Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

BTW, an incredible dyson DC23 for $600 recently was rated 17 out of 27 canisters by Consumer Reports with a decent score of 61.  Dyson's DC22 for $700 came in 25th and appears to be scrubbed in the USA rating a dismal showing of 53.  It was impugned by CR for only meriting a fair test score for its cleaning results on carpets and pet hair.

PS:  Part I of the video is just a narrative about the power head in stand alone mode.  No live demo of the vacuum and power head in real world use.  Just a lot of words and removing the brush roll and showing how to cut off the hair and rug wrap.  The demo-er has a DC27 beside this "used" DC23 which he purchased.  Obviously he likes and appreciates dysons.  But not enough to buy them at their new prices.    Smart man but like he said, he didn't get the 5 year warranty.

It's actually more like what lousy perception you have man. So many plastic grids? Dude, the wheels are THERE to keep any scratching from happening. THey're actually high quality wheels, and sure they may clog w/ dirt, but if you clean take care of your stuff and have half a brain, they won't be a problem, just like the ones on my Miele/WesselWerks SEB 217 aren't, and in reality are an EXCELLENT addition, love 'em on my hardwood floors. The brushroll has to be easier to remove?! That has to be the dumbest, lousiest point bar none; TWO screws dude, TWO, if you have trouble counting that high then I can see why that could be a problem, either that or it's just being pathetically lazy. Given you're picking the most insignificant, moot points to call "lousy" only proves how hard of a time you have trying to actually say anything bad, and proves just how well design this Dyson machine is. Gee, let's see here man, a second opinion is what any respectable person would offer up as a means to back up an argument or prove a point, and the fact this guy has much praise for this machine just goes to prove what an awesome machine Dyson manufactures.

This thread is starting to go in the wrong direction.  Let's watch the language and name-calling.

Spoke to Dyson UK this morning and they confirm that the DC23 Motorhead on its own weighs 2.2kg. The SEBO ET-1 weighs 1.8kg. For an older machine floor head, this is pretty impressive and isn't less of a strain to pick up off the floor.

Hey xxxxxx, you trying to tell me that removing a brush roll by two screws is easier than pressing a button release?

Dude, WHAT? Seriously, don't you get that less weight is worse for a powerhead? Maybe the agitation would make up for it, but I'm willing to wager my DC-14 alone on the likely fact the Dyson head cleans better.
