Excellent.  I think with advertising and the right promotions, the SEBO FELIX would be a hit.

IF you had a Dyson, you would never be 'sick' of cleaning or replacing filters. ONLY on vacuums that use INFERIOR technology (non-dyson machines) does this occur.

Going back to the smelly old bag is an acceptable thing

 
What can I do about the odor in the permanent filter on my DC-7?

You beat me to the question old timer! In order for the prefilter to absorb a noticable odor [during operation], one would have to be either vacuuming up "stuff" that shouldn't be vacuumed or didn't allow sufficient drying time after washing/cleaning the filter. The later of course would cause mold, mildew and bactering to incubate within the filter, producing a foul odor.
 
Like I've said so many times before, if the vacuum is operated and maintained in accordance with the owners manual there will be no odor emanating from the emissions of a Dyson. This would include emtying the dirt bin after each use if the debris is of an objectionable odor. Common sense dictates when to empty the bin.

I have smelled Dysons that had a dog odor from picking up so much dog hair, and the same for carpet fresh, and other dirt smells.

Vacuuman,
 Bruce has only one thing to say on the matter it seems. Operator doesn't follow instructions. Welcome to the real world Bruce. You can follow instructions and still get an odor.

Bruce:

I believe you said that you use a dyson, Miele, and Rainbow for all your regular household cleaning?  You said you dump the dyson both inside and/or outside and it takes you only 2 seconds?  Are you sure? How can that be?  How often do you use the dyson and dump it?  

And you use the rexair/rainbow also?  How long does it take to dump, clean and store after each use?  Do you use the rainbow daily, weekly, monthly?  Only special occasions?

How often do you use the Miele? How often do you replace the bag?  How long does it take? What is the monthly and yearly cost of bags?

Which vacuum (dyson, Miele, rainbow) is the best for you as a daily user? Based on your own experience would you recommend a bagged vacuum or bagless to our poster and which of the 3 would you recommend to her?  Why?

Carmine D.

Old Timer,
It smells like a full bag. It's that dust smell we all know. I pried off the cover to look at the famous lifetime filter. Not only was it was full of dust, but the gasket on the filter wasn't even properly aligned. I suppose this is how it came from the factory. And before anyone tells me that it's user error, let me just say YES,  I remove and wash  the foam prefilter every 6 months as directed . I already ordered a replacemeent filter.
