Dyson cyclones
« on: 12 January 2010, 23:52:56 »
They clog up so easily, and need dismantling to clean.

I have done ours - works a LOT better now.

Should I offer the service?

No issues with mine, 4 or 5 years old and all I do in empty the container.

Might strip it and clean it soon, looks a bit dusty with the lack of use it gets.   ::)

That swivel head ball thing, makes it sound like he just invented.  Am sure my Gran had a hoover with a twist neck thing the same 40+ years ago, (was probably a hoover at that as well)

The Dyson at my daughter uni house/squat blocked up easily when they tried to 'hoover' up a tree's worth of pine needles .....  no wonder the roller's drive belt gave up the ghost!!!

They hadn't a clue why it wasn't picking up!!!!!  :-? :-? :-? ::) ;D ;D ;D

So much for a uni edumacation!!!  :y :y ;D ;)

I could never understand how Dyson got away with the advert quoting "no bag so no loss of suction" when it was the filters that blocked and they would't suck break all! >:(

Same with cyclonic separation. He must have invented that too. Never seen one of them before...  ;D

I remember him going on about how many hundreds of prototypes he had to make before he hit on a design that works. Great engineering methodology, that. If Brunel had done the same There'd be a trail of bits of bridge and caved-in tunnels between here and Bristol. ;D

Shame he didn't think to look on wikipedia really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclonic_separation  ;D

Too expensive to post.

Also, lets face it, if people aren't prepared to strip theirs down every few months, they should go and buy a decent vacuum.

I use an airline on my heap of shit Dyson, saves a lot of the stripping, unless she's sucked up some water with it (don't ask, I don't know how she manages to get it wet!)
