My mom got a Dyson and it's ok but the hose on it is garbage. It wants to collapse back and you have to use it with the really long plastic tube. So I'm trying to get this 2-3 foot long tube into where I need it while the hose is yanking on the other end trying to get back to the vacuum. It's like the guy figured out a cool way to do a vacuum motor but they didn't do any usage testing.

I have a Kenmore-branded Panasonic canister vac and all I can say is after decades of using Panasonic canister vacs I haven't seen a reason to change.

There's a latch at the end of the hose to detach the wand, and the outside diameter of the attachments match the inside diameter of the hose tip. The hose wanting to collapse, yeah, can't help you with that

I recently got a battery powered Shark and it owns. No stupid cord and it comes apart easily into whatever configuration you need quickly with big simple buttons. It's small and dumps the dirt in a second so I can do all my floors in like 20 minutes. Only complaint is on board storage for the tools isn't there but that would just be more to carry around anyway. I still have a Rainbow and it worked awesome on carpets but it was like an ordeal to get the vacuuming done and gently caress carpets forever.

I have an older Rainbow vac I was given a few years ago, and it's been the best vacuum I've ever used. Only problems I've had so far was that the beater bar belt snapped, and I cracked the water tank while moving, but both were easily replaced via Amazon.

LifeSunDeath posted:Lol @ anyone who buys a dyson. Complete loving waste of money. Sagebrush posted:also i think they determined that the Dyson Airblade Hand Dryer, which Forces Air Through An Opening The Size Of A Human Hair, actually aerosolizes everything on your hands and spreads it through the bathroom more effectively than any other dryer so We have Airblade dBs at work for hand dryers. I can't stand them. They're loud as hell, they're not maintained, and don't forced-air hand dryers spread germs a lot easier anyway? They also break... often. But they wouldn't have the Dyson name on them if they didn't. They retail for something like $1300 or $1400. I would much rather just have paper towels, especially since, yanno, pandemic.

But they wouldn't have the Dyson name on them if they didn't. If you trust mythbusters as any source of credible information (and we shouldn't, it's more like a find out what needs real study), it mostly depends on whether you used soap or not. According to them it doesn't matter how you dry your hands if you rubbed soap on your hands for 20 seconds. No soap? Air dryers are by far the worst because as you said, it spreads everything all over the room. I think a legit study was done on it at one point but I'm not sure how to find it.

bull3964 posted:My floors are all hardwood so my roomba does the heavy lifting well. I just need stick vac to occasionally hit the areas that it can't easy and to chase down cobwebs. My wife got some kind of hard floor Dyson in a price error from Target and I'm not going to lie... You can actually feel a difference on our wood floors compared to the last vacuum walking around barefoot. I'm okay with it.

My v10 has the fluffy motor head which does a really good job on hardwood, I just don't have to use it very often since I run the Roomba frequently.

Colostomy Bag posted:Not car related but holy hell repairing a Dyson vacuum. Apparently some engineer really loves torx given there were 20 of them. Yeah, ok, let me bust out the T-8 for about that last one. Where does the dislike for torx come from? It was the first good fastener standard and everything should use it, except for the applications more suitable for the common hex nut. The older standards are inferior and the newer ones are too rare and not enough of improvement over torx. All slot, phillips and hex sockets should be thrown in the Mount Doom.

Robertson clearly predates Torx. The fact that Phillips won out in the US will never not make me bitter.

Philips is really poo poo. No matter how well you pair the screw with the bit, it'll skip when using power tools if you angle it the slightest. At least pozidriv improves philips enough to be bearable.

My wife got suckered into a Dyson ball and the loving thing falls the gently caress over for no loving reason every goddamn time because it's a stupid piece of poo poo that doesn't even do the goddamn thing it was supposed to do. Also it's hollow plastic so it loving CLOPCLOPCLOPS over the tile, which isn't a flaw but just really falls under the category of "other poo poo making it feel like it was cheaper than my last computer".

I've had zero issues with the factory refurb Dyson v6 I bought 2.5 years ago, having a cordless means little bits get done every day which is a big improvement on leaving everything a week. The DC08 we bought 13 years ago is ticking along in the garage with no issues or broken parts. I know other people have had issues but  That said if I needed another corded I'd get a Henry.

We bought a refurbished Dyson like ten years ago or more that was completely awesome and then my wife went to “upgrade” and got the Ball, which neither of us like. It has all these issues - skipping, falling over, weak suction compared to the original, short power cord, small waste bucket... Long story short I still use the original one as my shop vacuum for car interiors and the like. It’s got a much longer wand hose and way more suction. Only thing I’ve ever done to it is replace the hose when it got mildewy

The difference is staggering, the Miele is amazing. gently caress that goddamn Dyson clogging up with hair everytime you use it forcing me to disassemble the whole goddamn head to clean it. I can't understand the prices of Miele in the USA though - they seem to be horrifically inflated.

The "not exactly cheap, but get what you pay for" workhorse niche was taken, so they decided to use the mystique of "superior German engineering" to move up into the high end luxury segment?

Underfloor heating is also a game changer - mildly heated hardwood or tile is nice even barefoot in the winter.

I have an ancient Eureka vacuum that I'm fairly certain is at least 20 years old. Still rips pet hair out of the carpets like nobody's business. My mom gifted me a Roomba that works well enough for the rest of the house, which is that vinyl/linoleum crap. When I get ready to sell this place for a house with a 2-car garage I'm doing the entire house with either tile or that composite flooring everyone seems to love these days.

Our place is 50% carpet 50% hardwood- Cos gently caress having timber in the bedrooms, nothing worse than swinging your feet out of bed when its too early in the morning and hitting a freezing cold floor... The Neato Botvac does 90% of sucking duties, and doesnt do a too bad job, tho he's getting on a bit and becoming a bit senile and forgets what hes doing some of the time. Or gets stuck on nothing and beeps incessently... Either the dyson stickvac or the ball does everything else and does it good enough for us. Having the robovac go round once a day means you rarely have to do much with the bigger vacuums though. And its meant that with three cats we dont wind up with an extra cat worth of hair floating around by the end of the week.

My mom's still pushing her 40+ year old Kirby. I can only assume she's built enough upper body strength to rip logs in half because that thing has to be 30 pounds of steel. Question for you Roomba guys - what do you do about multi-story houses? 2 Roombas? 1 floor by hand?

Yeah, basically our setup here. Area rugs on the hardwood. Carpet in the upstair bedrooms. Reminds me, I think I hate shopping for carpet more than I do cars.
