rrhodes — Wed, 21 May 2008 07:06:18 +0000

The Dyson DC16 is a bagless vacuum which is hand-held. It is priced extremely well and can be purchased for around $150. You can also pick up a refurbished (or remanufactured) Dyson DC16 for about $100 which includes a six month factory warranty.

Dyson claims this vacuum cleaner has double suction power compared with other handheld vacuums and as is the case with all Dysons, will never lose suction. It also charges about three times faster than its competition. The vacuum comes with with a wall mount cradle and two accessories - a crevice tool and a combination accessory tool.

Being a cordless hand-held vacuum, the DC16 Root 6 is light and can be used just about anywhere including in the car. You empty the canister with a one touch system which makes it quick, convenient and a breeze to tidy up after use.

The vacuum cleaner is best for quick picking up of debris. With 36 air watts of suction power, it is powerful enough to pick up large debris from a variety of surfaces including tabletops, carpet and even the keyboard on your computer which can become notoriously dirty.

There is no need to replace bags or filters in the Dyson DC16 as it contains a small canister to catch the waste. There is also no dirty air being emitted into the air whilst you use it, meaning those suffering from asthma can breathe easy.

The Dyson DC16 Handheld has an easy trigger hold and is light to hold. It is highly ergonomical as the switch can be held on when the cleaner is in use and it is easy to use quick bursts to pick up tough items.

This cleaner is ideal when a mess has been made and you need full suctioning power for a short time. The vacuum will last for six minutes on full strength suction power and this is more than enough time to pick up all debris from a spill or other mishap such as a clump of pet hair in the carpet. It has also been noted that the DC16 is incredibly quiet in comparison to other handheld vacuum cleaners.

Speaking of pets, Dyson recently introduced the DC16 Animal version of this vacuum. The "Animal" model features a motorized brushbar that can be used to pick up pet hair or easily turned off when not needed, thus saving battery power.

This cleaner is a wonderful addition to your household cleaning arsenal. It should be combined with an upright cleaner such as the DC18 Slim which can be used throughout the whole house without time limits.

The Dyson DC16 Handheld is a must have if you have children or pets in the house. It is easy to grab from the wall mounted battery charger and all mess can be cleaned up in seconds. Because you put it straight back on the charger, it can be ready to use again in no time.

OK.. Is it Dyson Vacuum or Dyson Vaccum or Dyson Vaccuum?

rrhodes — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:14:41 +0000

Many people may wonder about the correct spelling of the word "vacuum". When it comes to Dyson vacuums, various spellings have emerged including "Dyson vaccuum", "Dyson Vaccum" and the correct one being "Dyson Vacuum".

Dyson vacuums are amongst the most highly respected and widely used brands of vacuum cleaners in many countries. Their renowned quality and long warranty provide peace of mind. The vacuum cleaners themselves are some of the most powerful to be found anywhere.

Some popular models of Dyson vacuum cleaners include the DC18 Slim, the DC16 Handheld, the DC17 (Absolute or Animal models) and the DC07.

The Dyson DC18 Slim Vacuum lives up to its name. Measuring a tiny 16-1/3 by 12 by 43-2/3 inches, it stores easy and is not cumbersome to move around. It is also around 5 pounds lighter than the average upright vacuum cleaner at a mere 15 pounds.

The Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is a very powerful handheld vacuum cleaner. It is the only handheld with continuous suction. It is operated by a comfortable trigger and comes with a battery charger. You can get 6 minutes of full power suction before it needs to be charged again. This is generally enough time to pick up spills or clean the car.

The Dyson DC17 Animal has been designed for demanding users who want the very best suction power. The Animal tool included is essential for picking up pesky pet hair in carpets or even in your car. Customers have noted that pet hair was picked up that other vacuum cleaners had let sit there for months due to not having enough suction power.

No matter how you spell it, Dyson vacuums are top of the range quality products which do not disappoint.

Dyson DC07 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

rrhodes — Sun, 18 May 2008 03:05:22 +0000

The Dyson DC07 Upright Vacuum Cleaner is a popular vaccuum cleaner model and with good reason.

The Dyson DC07 was labeled the ‘original root cyclone upright’ by Dyson as it was the first vacuum cleaner to use Dyson’s Root Cyclone technology. Although an older model, the DC07 is still being sold and is still popular. I’ve had a DC07 for over 3 years and it cleans the same as the first day I brought it home!

The cleaner is available in yellow, purple and red but not all colors are available from all retailers.

Some features of the Dyson DC07 vacuum include a revolutionary eight-chambered cyclonic design. This results in very powerful consistent suctioning. Its bag free dirt collection means the DC07 is easy to use for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. It contains a long lasting HEPA filtration system with a surface area of 412 square inches, and the Animal model contains a special turbo tool that is specifically designed for picking up pet hair. Also included with the Dyson DC07 Animal is Dyson’s carpet care kit.

The DC07 weighs a light 29 pounds and generates 100,000 g of centrifugal force. The canister is actually made from the same material used for crash helmets which means it is virtually indestructible!

You can also use the DC07 to remove pet hair and other debris from inside your car and other confined spaces thanks to the Animal Turbo Tool. Other accessories included are the crevice tool, a dusting brush and an upholstery attachment.

The Dyson DC07 is a truly amazing vacuum cleaner that must be used to be believed. It retails for around $500 but can also be purchased as a remanufactured unit with a full six month manufacturers warranty for a little over half that including free shipping!

Dyson Sweepers: Which Is The Best Dyson Vacuum?

rrhodes — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:53:47 +0000

Should you buy a brand new Dyson Vaccuum Cleaner or save a considerable amount of money and settle for a refurbished Dyson Vaccum Cleaner?

A Dyson refurb product is simple a cleaner that has been returned to the manufacturer for a certain reason. Dyson then check the unit, fix any problems, and repackage it as new looking as possible. All refurbs will come with a warranty, albeit a much shorter one than a brand new Dyson cleaner which have long warranties.

Dyson refurb vacuum cleaners often cost half the price of a brand new unit. If you are on a budget but want all the goodies that Dyson vacuum cleaners contain, then a refurb may be the option for you. You can be assured that it is in working order as it has personally been checked by Dyson and it’ll come with a six month factory warranty!

Take for example the Dyson DC17 Animal Vacuum Cleaner. Brand new it costs well over $500. A Refurbished Dyson DC17 Animal will cost just over $300. That’s quite a saving. Amazon also gives you free shipping so there are no added costs and no taxes!

I can highly recommend refurb Dyson vacuum cleaners for people who are on a budget or for those who just don’t believe in spending $500 on a vacuum cleaner. You’ll get the same performance, a decent warranty period and best of all you’ll have money left over in your pocket for other items for your house!

Dyson Refurb vs Brand New Dyson Sweepers

rrhodes — Wed, 14 May 2008 01:36:30 +0000

So you’ve decided to buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner, but did you know that you can save up to 50% if you buy a refurbished Dyson vaccuum cleaner compared with a brand new product?

Differences between new and refurb Dyson vaccum cleaners

A refurb model simply means that the unit has been returned to the place of manufacture (Dyson) and they have then fixed it or modified it so that it resembles a new model. There may be some cosmetic damage such as scratches or dents, however the functioning of the vacuum cleaner will be normal. All refurb Dyson sweepers are backed up by warranties, usually a six month factory warranty.

If something goes wrong with the refurb model within the warranty period, you can simply return it just like you would with a brand new vacuum cleaner. Dyson however are known for their quality vacuum cleaners so it is unlikely that your unit will malfunction in such a short time period.

Price Comparison Between Brand New Dyson Vacuum Cleaner and Refurb Model

You can save a considerable amount when you choose to buy a refurb vacuum cleaner. Take for example the Dyson DC17 Animal Vacuum Cleaner. A brand new unit will cost you around $550 whilst a Refurb Dyson DC17 Animal Vacuum Cleaner will cost you under (well under!) $400 and do the exact same quality job as the brand new model.

If you are comfortable with a shorter warranty period then buying a refurb Dyson vacuum cleaner is highly recommended as you can save several hundred dollars by doing so.

Dyson DC07 Animal - This Animal Hates Pet Hair

rrhodes — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:47:18 +0000

The Dyson DC07 Animal has quickly made it to the top of the wish lists
of many pet owners, and for good reason. The vacuum offers a number of
features that are useful for general cleaning purposes as well as
additional characteristics that make it particularly helpful to pet
owners.

Getting Rid of Pet Hair the Easy Way

Anyone with a pet knows how quickly the hair seems to pile up in places
where it seems the hair should be impossible to reach. While it may be
difficult for a pet owner to reach certain areas of the home, it is not
difficult for a cat or a dog. In addition, pet hair has a way of
floating about and getting stuck in even the smallest of places.

To help address this problem, the designers at Dyson created a
specialized compact tool to help remove pet hair from stairs,
upholstery, and the car. Its small size makes it possible to reach
confined spaces while still offering the air-powered suction that is
typical of Dyson vacuums. The Dyson DC07 Animal also features the turbo
tool, which is unique to the Animal line of Dyson vacuums. This
brushbar is specifically designed to help remove pet hair and other
fibers out of carpeting and upholstery.

For those pet owners that suffer from allergies but don’t want to give
up their pets, the Dyson DC07 Animal also features a HEPA filter that
is designed to retain the highest amounts of allergens possible. While
HEPA filters are not unique to Dyson products, this filter never needs
to be replaced and is a nice added feature to have. In addition, the
vacuum features a patent pending trigger that makes it possible to
empty the canister with just the pull of a trigger.

Making Vacuuming a Little Easier

Since the Dyson DC07 Animal is a part of the DC07 series, it features a
number of characteristics that make the chore of vacuuming a little bit
easier. For example, the floor tool of the vacuum is designed to
automatically adjust to carpets and bare floors while still remaining
small enough to fit under beds and sofa areas where pet hairs are
notorious for building up. Being an upright vacuum, the ability to
reach under low furniture is a benefit that many pet owners will enjoy.

The Dyson DC07 also features a 17-foot hose that does not require
assembly to use. This allows the user to quickly and easily access the
hose. In addition, the length of the hose makes it possible to vacuum
most sets of stairs without having to drag the vacuum up and down them.

The Dyson DC07 offers a number of features that are desirable to many
pet owners. When selecting the right model, however, it is important to
do a side-by-side comparison in order to choose the one that is best
for the owner.
