I've had this cleaner in my garage for two years, so I thought it was high time to unbox it and take a closer look at this bagless self propelled USA made monstrosity.
Yea theses were never great due to they're appalling cyclone bagless system with very awful filtration that is a dust thrower and motor killer. It's common to see theses cover in dust and motor sounding louder then it should be compared to our bagged counterpart which is definitely better in every way.
To me, other than Dyson and ones based on them like the Fantom, Vectron and the Amway Cleartrak, none of the bagless uprights being put out from the 90s up through about 2010/2012 were very good. They all had other designs to work around needing the true dual cyclonic system and most all of them clogged badly and were messy to clean. Once they were able to implement the dual cyclonic design (after the patent expired) they got infinitely better.
I completely agree. I own a variant of the model shown in the video and I use it at least once a month. Even with a single use, these with this bagless system relies on constant maintenance, most of it being employing the bin after each use. If maintained meticulously, they can perform, but only with constant maintenance.
What junk! You did an American Electrolux Canister vacuum, the best out there, especially with the power nozzle, deep cleans as well or better than a Miele. Dust bag seals with rubber. We had a Shark bagless, junk. I will never buy bagless, ever!
Also if anyone wants to keep a spotless home then they need a cleaner that is reliable, I don't think there is a single bagless cleaner that is known to be reliable.
I don't agree. I hate bagged vacuums. The bags get smelly very fast, especially when you have dogs and they loose a lot of suction when the bag in only half full. I got my bagless vacuum 6 years ago and it still works great. Nothings smells, the suction is great even when the bin is filled to the max line and you don't have to buy spare bags, which were quite expansive because I had to use only the hepa ones. I would never buy another bagged vacuum.
@@huskyvacs ah, okay, can’t disagree with you there, then again the DC05 I speak of had a straight suction nozzle for their carpets, and personally I owned the DC39 with the god awful triggerhead (gets clogged way too easily that makes it spin too slowly and also performs poorly on hard floors making it a pointless accessory). Personally I’ve never used a Dyson on nylon carpet but after hearing your testimony I can understand why the machine would suit poorly to your needs
I bought that in the Eureka bright yellow one here in the states. Well they are junk. Poor pick up. And the flip up screen clogs up, and your suction goes away. I threw it in the tip after about 6 months, and bought a Hoover upright back then.
This might sound odd but grab a other vacuum and while holding the spindle of this cleaner and grab the hose of the other vacuum and put on the motor inlet to suck out anything in the fan it’s helped me in a few cases it’s worth a try
It's not really the temperature changing up and down it's the heat that makes the plastic change color, if you can keep your cleaners in a cool/cold place free of damp that would be good
While I do believe heat to be a contributing factor in yellowing of plastics, light certainly is another. One can tell light was the obvious factor by comparing the yellowed exterior plastics to a part that hasn’t seen sunlight, or has been heavily shaded. A unit can be yellowed by either of which. I also want to mention that “cleaning up a unit” will not improve suction as measured by water lift. The dirt only impedes airflow, not suction, and since you are testing sealed suction you won’t notice a difference. This of course is provided you didn’t repair or fix any leaks in the system.
@@huskyvacs Bud, I’m a human being. I own like 5 vacuum cleaners, and I’ve fucked around with them all. I even own a Kirby. Not to mention if you actually read my deal, you’d understand what I actually was saying. A cleaners airflow is heavily dependent on its state of repair. Dust and debris will block the ability of the cleaner to move air. HOWEVER, that does NOT effect its ability to produce suction/water lift. Go ahead and try it. Block up the filter on a Bagless unit and test it’s sealed suction with a gauge, then unclog the filter and test it. You’ll notice the same, or very similar result. The reason is simple. The motors ability to produce vacuum is not impeded by any porous blockage. In a sealed system the motor is trying to evacuate as much air from the machine as it can. It doesn’t matter if it has a harder time accessing certain parts through clogged filters, because ultimately it’s creating a total pressure drop, and the system will equalize out to whatever the water lift of the motor is. The only time this number will change is that if the motor impeller is physically blocked up or been coated heavily with debris, the motor is physically spinning slower than as it would when new, or there are leakes sealed or introduced into the sealed system Maybe instead of being so condescending, you read and think.
@@huskyvacs well I have about 100 vacuums I would never say it impacts the suction fully washing machine and cleaning it heavily impacts the airflow and suction it’s not as important as airflow is with a vacuum
We do have those in the USA, and they seem to be the exact same quality in the UK as USA, total shit. I'm sorry for your loss, but these are hardly good...
Oh goodness me, it sounds rough and sadly this was typical for these bagless models at the time. Definitely weren't the greatest vacuum cleaners from Electrolux and Eureka.
