Well, if they were clogged, wouldn't I have the problem vacuuming my tile floors, not just with the tools?
Before posting, I did blow out the cyclone assembly as best I could with a leafblower and with the appropriate nozzle from my air compressor. I suppose I could swish it in the bathtub for a half hour, as it's too big by far for my ultrasonic cleaner, but the question in the first paragraph still stands.
Art It could be the case that only a few of the seven smaller cyclones are operating correctly. The air path from the floor is shorter than via the hose and tools. A tiled floor offers little airflow restriction, whereas carpet does. And no, DC07 should not suffer from thermal sensor failure. The motor must be faulty and should be replaced.

First of all, are you ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that the ducts, and filters are clear of dust and dirt? The DC07 has an inherent design fault: the dust deposited by the seven small cyclones clogs the central tube, eventually leading to a backlog of dirt steadily rising up the central tube, until the small cyclones are totally blocked. To see if the tube is blocked, empty the bin. With the trapdoor open, shine a torch up the tube. You should be able to see all the way up the tube to the trigger bellows. If not, the tube is clogged. I spent an afternoon last summer, disassembling a relative's DC07 cyclonic bin that was clogged to within a few inches of the top of the assembly. The dirt was packed solid; I had to use a garden cane to prod and force it out.

Re: The Dyson Ball finally has a competitor: New Electrolux Nimble

Yes Carnine, but you're forgetting that the Lux Nimble has only been out on the market for a short time - compared to the Hoover Tempo. I didn't expect to see that many negative reviews on a product so new.
Excuse for saying this, but: you have goofed - big time.
The model you linked to was for the Electrolux Versatility (EL8505), not the Nimble (EL8605). The Verstility has 30-odd poor reviews. The Nimble has 7 excellent reviews.

Vax (USA) is NOT owned by TTI like Vax UK. Vax UK is owned by TTI but its too confusing with Hoover USA & Hoover UK. btw, how is Hoover UK's products? Are you sure? Look at this link: http: //www.vaxusa.com/

I'm very well thankyou. To tell you the truth, the only difference that I can see is that the handgrip on the wand has lost a little bulge.
Probably Dyson's attempt at shifting old stock. Still no sign of Core Separator in our uprights, and no sign of the Digital motor in our cylinders (or uprights for that matter). Not very inspiring, is it? |
