O. T. --- New Vacuum Cleaner --- O. T.

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

I know y'all have been waiting all week to read about a vacuum cleaner,
no matter who's it is or what the brand is. I'm here to fulfill your longing.

Tuesday, I ordered a Dyson V15 Detect from their website and it was
delivered Thursday afternoon. I opted for the free accessory kit but it
was out of stock but it should be shipped to me when more comes in.

It does a spectacular job, quite easy to maneuver, lots of useful accessory
tools, and NO CORD. A stand that will hold the cleaner and tools plus the
charger was ordered from Amazon and delivered today. The V15 doesn't
have an on/off switch, just a trigger so an aftermarket trigger lock was
part of my order as well.

[GM]

Nice... and what does The KITTY think of it...???

As a kid we had a cat who LOVED to be vacuumed by the accessory brush thingie...

That was the kitty who also LOVED tomatoes...

B-)

[Dave Smith]

I hope that you like it better than I have liked my V12. I had a lemon
and Dyson replaced it, but the replacement is only marginally better.
The original was always conking out because of a clogged filter. I
would clean it as per directions and it would take it 2-3 days for the
filter to dry out enough to use it again. Now it only takes about 24
hours, but I am lucky to get an hour of run time out of it before the
filter gets clogged and it stops working.

it's turned on.

So far, so good. But can you order an extra filter for when the other
one is drying?

My understanding is that the vacuum cleaner business does suck but it is picking up.

[itsjoan...@webtv.net]

It sure does! It tries to make off with throw rugs that are new.

[Dave Smith]

I suppose I could, but I question why I should have to. I have never
before had a vacuum with a filter that clogs up and stops sucking in
less than an hour.

[Hank Rogers]

Officer dave, you should arrest them. They defrauded you and sold
you a worthless item. Maybe you can get a good lawyer like squirtz
to handle the case.

LOL, dsi1!

My wife wants a rechargeable, lightweight vacuum cleaner. We have an
ancient Electrolux and a Shark named Blinky. Some here may get that.
I told her to find a suitable wall plug and go nuts. I have no idea
where that outlet would be.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Gosh, I was just thinking this week, it has been a long time since a
vacuum cleaner thread. I appreciate you bringing this up.

Dyson is supposed to be one of the better brands so seems you made a
good choice.

One of the things I really like about this goat barn is tile floors,
except bedrooms. Cleaning lady vacs and mops. Maybe once a year I clean
something on the floor on my own.

[Hank Rogers]

Dave, there's only two choices: Either arrest the bastards, or
gather up lots of trash and garbage to dump at the company's
headquarters.

[Hank Rogers]

Ed, you'd not have to do that if you put down some parchment paper
before you whack off. Didn't the nuns teach yoose that in school?

My model and some of their other vacuums have a fluffy head with a laser light.
Don't laugh, it sounds ridiculous but it's a green light at a specific angle that
shows dirt on tile, vinyl, and wood floors. But it works best in very low light
or in complete darkness.

They seem to. I've heard much talk about Dyson vacuums here over the

I just use a cheap Hoover. Works well for years, no issues.

I should use mine soon - it's been about 6 months now. heh ;)

Same here, Ed. Maybe once a year I clean something on the floor on my
own. Only difference is that I don't have a cleaning lady.

I would not use anything other than a Dyson! When I originally said
that Dave argued his was useless, eventually he found there was
something wrong with it and it (or a part) was replaced.

It could be because it is efficiently sucking up dog hair ?

I'm still using my first Dyson, a DC01, bought at the beginning of 1998.
It still does an excellent job.

[Dave Smith]

Mine does a great job when it's working. The problem is that it never
keeps working long enough to vacuum the whole house. The filter usually
clogs even before the battery runs out. Then it has to be be rinsed out
and then sit for a day to dry. That is a ridiculous filtering system.

To say that I can't do the whole house is an understatement. I can't do
one floor. Half the time I can't even do one room.

What was useless about it was that the filter needed cleaning just about
every time I used it, along with other clogging issues. The filter on
the original machine took 3-4 days to dry. I would rinse it out as
directed, shake it out, blow it out and set it out to dry but but even
after two days it still detected moisture and would not run. Dyson
replaced it. The replacement is a little better. The filter doesn't clog
up quite as quickly and it drys a little faster.

There are other clogging issues. Bits of leaves and dog hair clog in
the power head and tube. They also get into that intake port by the
motor. Then you have to open and empty the canister, unlatch it and
slide it out and poke around in that port to remove whatever is
obstructing it.

It is not as much a problem for me as it is for my wife, who is not at
all mechanically minded and whose arthritic fingers make to difficult
remove the parts to effect the repair.

I will say that when it works it does a great job. I can go over an area
of our carpeting with our central vac and beater bar and then go over it
with the Dyson and pick up a lot of stuff the central vac left behind.
I just can't count on it working.

I have got into the habit of emptying the canister after each use and
rinsing the filter ahead of time and recharging it to be ready for small
cleanup jobs. However, when I have to do the whole house I don't even
bother with it. I go right to the central vac. It may not do quite as
thorough a job as the Dyson, but it will last until the job is done.

Dog hair is too coarse to be clogging the filter. It is fine particulate
matter that does that. The stuff getting into that suction port could be
alleviated with a mesh screen. Bear in mind that this is their model
that is specifically designed for pet hair.

What they need is a type of filter that can pick out those fine
particles without clogging too quickly. There are filtering systems for
engines working in especially dusty conditions to get rid of the fine
particles before they get to the filter element.

Fancy! I have a 20 year old Dirt Devil (it's blue, not red, for some
reason) which I found in a semi-abandoned house. Works like new with a
new belt and bag, but boy is it loud. Maybe I'll buy a new one some
day... but not likely.

I have Grandma's old Filter Queen canister vacuum around here somewhere.
I think she told me she bought it from a door-to-door salesman in the
early 60's. I don't think those people exist anymore.

Most cats are the same way, but for some reason, my cat isn't afraid of
much anything. Even with my screaming loud sweeper, I can't get her to
move. Honest to goodness, I have to bump her with the sweeper so I can
get the carpet under her... she eventually gets annoyed by that and
walks away, haha.

My dad used to sell Filter Queen vacuums so we always had one. Those things are loud! I can't imagine that a Dirt Devil could possibly be louder. That machine always sucked - but in a very good way. It used a large paper cone for a filter that was difficult to clog up. Modern vacuums have a chronic problem with losing vacuum but that never seemed to happen with a Filter Queen. I used to connect the hose to the blower outlet for extra kid fun.

I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Dova Saga. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me.

It was my first time flying with Japan Airlines and my experience was awesome.

It was on time and I reached the destination before the scheduled time.

Their customer service was excellent. I did not select any meal for my flight and unfortunately, they
didn't have any vegetarian options.

However, their crew member went out of the way and she cooked mushroom curry and steamed rice
for me and showed me the ingredients of mushroom curry so I could be sure it didn't have any meat. I
really liked her act of kindness. They truly know how to care about their passengers.

The crew put every possible effort to welcome me onboard and to accommodate every possible
desire from extra snacks to champagne

I think there was something wrong with the Dirt Devil. It was a cheap
model, and the woman who owned it probably beat on it. It still works,
so I'll keep using it. You should have seen the house she was living
in. Neighbor told me he had to pester her constantly to cut waist high
grass. Side window had nothing but cardboard and duct tape covering the
broken glass of the last 2 years of her life, while she lived there.
Don't even get me started on the fridge, oven, tobacco juice on the
walls, etc.

The Filter Queen grandma had is a small canister model. It's good to
carry out and sweep the car. I have the upright attachment for it also.
It's not terribly loud, and it works like a charm all these years later.

That's the nature of modern vacuum machines - they're low power motors running at high speed - just like modern cars. They'll run fine if you clean the filters and empty the canisters. Most people don't maintain their machines. I'm not into vacuum cleaners but I enjoy cleaning them and getting them running again. That's the way it is in our house. The family screws stuff up and I repair them. Our washer is not spinning the clothes out so my wife says we need a new one. I'm just going to replace the drive gear set.

That's probably why my 20 year old dirt devil is so loud... I imagine
something damaged one of the propeller (or whatever) fins to make it
slightly off balance. I've been using it for over 3 years... if the
motor were failing, one would think it to have failed by now -- or at
least gotten worse.

There ya go! Shame the replacement parts are plastic... likely the
original were too, hence the failure. I suspect that you're wife just
wanted a new washing machine. ;)

She never liked that machine. I got that to replace a front-loader that she didn't like. Some people are never satisfied!

Tell her that she won't like the new one either, so it doesn't matter.
Then again, perhaps that isn't the hottest idea. ;)
