so I just went to the salvation army not looking for a vacuum but came across a DC40 for $40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea what a amazing find I had found until I saw this video. I feel like I won the lottery thank you for your detailed demo!!!
Thanks from the US! I've had this same Dyson for 5 0r 6 months and was not utilizing some of the brushes.. After watching your review I have new appreciation for my Dyson!
Hi Roger. Got my 2015 DC40 today (3rd May 2015) for £189. Fantastic machine. I tested the max setting on a thick pile carpet and it picked up fine dust so I think the max setting helps it have a stonger seal on the carpet and deep down clean even more. I hadn't vacuumed for 2 days and within 20 minutes of assembling the machine it was full. I can't believe how good it is
Luke Davies Yes it is good, but I've found some dirt requires a couple of passes. It could do with a double brush on it to improve pet hair pick up. It's still the best Dyson upright I have used so far.
I really like the white cabinet with the flower on top. I like the fact you take a minimalist approach to decorating your home. Looks very nice and neat!
You sold me. I'm buying one of these tomorrow. Dyson needs to give you a job reviewing their vacuums. I have been captivated through the whole video. Since the EU regulations I have tried numerous vacuums. Vax, Hoover both of which failed to live up to expectations. I am taking a Hoover velocity back to cirrus tomorrow to exchange for one of these. I hate the way vax and Hoover have positioned their hose attachment. It takes minutes to set them up. Dyson is the only one that is simple and quick. Thanks for a great review. Helped me a lot.
'Maximum Fill Line' lol... I've seen Hoover's blocked from bottom of the bin, all way back to the brush bar !! Lol. I can just see the owner complaining, it's not sucking anymore,, take it to the tip. I've just had a Dyson dc50 out of a skip by my house. Bypass valve singing like a good un. No suck at brushbar or fleiss pipe. Opened it up, New Filter sock and Hepa filter. Owner had tried !! Blockage was at change over valve. Dog hair and Mortar. Stripped cleaned ready to go . 60min all in. The Wife is Very happy with it lol. Nice vids mate. 😀👍 Another tip for your viewers, always remove the bin,, gently tap the Cyclone to remove extra fine dust from the chamber. Hope it helps. 👍
Ibaisaic. It's Me Captain Sir Shawn David Capps Here. I Recognize About The Dyson DC's 24 And 25 Are All Right. That Make Noise You Know Not Doing Cleaning Duty I Don't Like That At All. My Fantom Thunder Vacuum Does Do Superior Cleaning Duty. It Will Pick Lot More Dirt. My Fantom Thunder Has Three Height Adjustments Low, Medium And High. The Fantom Vacuums Was Made In Canada. You Can See The Fantom Vacuums On Ebay On Your Computer. Most People Don't Know About The Fantom Family As I Do. Most People Are Part Of The Fantom Family. Most People Are Part Of Dyson Family. You Did Extremely Great Job. The Fantom Vacuums Are Extremely Nice Machines.
I got a karcher mv2 in the end! The 12 litre capacity, 1200w motor and ability to Hoover up spills without changing anything was too tempting! (sorry I can't do replies to original comment for some reason) I have ordered the turbo brush to go with it though as the head that comes with it is a bit hard to use on carpet. Thank you for the advice I just couldn't bring myself to have the same again and my last Dyson was truly terrible although it was years ago. My boyfriend thinks I'm so odd watching all your reviews all the time but they are great!
Kids and pets make more mess than DIY 😂 the Airo turbo brush (same as Henry one) seems to really get my long hair out of the carpets too, yep love it! I'm halfway through watching the Hoover eco g review as I got this notification 😱 coincidence!
I own one of these and an original DC01 from 1995. I have refurbished both machines. The DC01 is easier to use and easier to maintain. The DC40 is really complicated and blocks easily it is like an octopus to use and very noisy. So much for progress.
I just ordered a DC40, can't wait to see what it can do with my black carpet and cat hairs :P... coming from a DC35... this DC40 looks like it really really out performs the DC35! I actually in all my 35 years really want to clean now!
I use those items in my demonstrations, but I am vegetarian and vegan when I can be. I don't drink cows milk anymore, that's only meant for calves to drink.
Excellent review Roger. I've been waiting for your review on this model as I too own a DC40. One slight quibble I have with this machine is that I find it to be a little flimsy feeling, particularly the handle which tends to twist and flex a little during use. Maybe I'm an aggressive vacuumer (is that a word...). That said, it's a very minor criticism, the performance on all floor types is excellent! How do you rate it against the Sebo Felix?
The Dyson agitates better than the Felix, but I think the brushes on the Felix are better. With the Dyson, some particles require two or three passes before they are removed, whereas the Felix usually gets clinging surface litter on the first pass. The Felix does seem better built and more solid than the Dyson, but it is heavier to push. They are both good cleaners and I would recommend the Felix for people who want bagged and the DC40 if they have to have bagless.
ibaisaic The Felix i have they used every day in middle sized shop and still working after almost 10 years perfect i think durabillity is still a problem for a dyson. Same as mine Nilfisk almost 20 years old and works perfect used some times 6x times a day.
Sebo "beat Dyson's hands down". No contest. No bloody messing with Dirty Dyson Folters, blocked cyclone chamber. Sebo, good solid reliable simple vacuum. Expensive,, but so are Dyson. 😀👍
Our dyson dc50,, just acquired from a local skip, lol.... the handle on that is Really Flimsy. @ 45 degrees twist in the handle before the head moves,, small bin, small airways , very easy to block up. 👍
Why is there so much difficulty when you use it on a bare floor to turn? I just got mines today. This one sounds really loud, mines is actually more quiet then my bissell (my dog loves that!Lol). It's the dyson light ball. I remember the first time i used a dyson and wondered what that red button was….i had to vacuum again lol
Getting one of these soon, after our great experience in the first year of owning a Dyson V6, its been extremely reliable, maintained its great suction, and always does a fabulous job. We've really hammered our V6 in its first year too, but of course i've kept the filter washed once a month and bin cleaned out. We had a DC03 back in the day and it was a good machine but it never lasted long and so it put my mum off, but since owning the V6 its restored her confidence. With the modern Dyson machines, i've every confidence they'll last 10-15 years with proper monthly maintainence. Great review and demo Roger :-)
ibaisaic our hairdresser has a DC50 and she said she's had it for 6 years and said the only thing that went at 6 years old is the brushroll motor, a new brushroll motor ain't really that much money though so it's no big deal if it went after 6-7 years. We got our DC40 animal yesterday, its awesome, feels very well built. Can't get over how good the agitation is, it's as good if not better than the old fashioned Bagged Hoover cleaners of the late 80's/early 90's. i also love how the tangle free turbine dosen't slow down like they do on other brands.
We had the old Dyson 04 and were finding it heavy to move around and so purchased the DC40 Multi Floor powerful but found our wrists were ready to drop off using this so difficult to move around and from the feel of it will not last long.
Can you please help? Where does the small black part that looks like a screw can go in it go to? It says 'Dyson 11-6206' on it. For multifloor 2. Please google a picture of it. Thanks.
in your unboxing video, in the comments you said to someone you wouldnt reccomend any dyson but instead the shark powered lift. For cleaning power/dirt lifting would you say the shark powered lift is better? ive seen a couple of videos and i must say the 2015 dc40 seems to be bit better. Im lloking for a new hoover and this dyson does look really good( well atleast 5 time sbtter than my current one) and is does seem quieter but mainly I just looking for a hoover than cleans, because lets face it thats what a hoover is intented for. your opionion for general household cleaning what would you say thats better for the money in terms of cleaning? Also doesnt have to be dyson or shark. thanks and great video
+ibaisaic hello, I live in a flat without the steps and I can see on the video the standard length is more than enough but thank you for the advice anyway. I bought the DC40 today at a very good price with an extra discount straight from Dyson (£209) with free delivery tomorrow and I have also been given a tool box for free, usually worth £44, so overall I'm very happy about my purchase. Once again a big thank you for the review. I was originally going for the DC28 but thanks to your review I found the machine I wanted! I told the man on the phone today, while I was placing the order, about your great reviews. Hope they appreciate your initiative. Kind regards
As my Sebo Felix is on it's way out after 5 years of repairs and service to me (two kids two dogs a very fluffy cat an ex husband who is a plasterer and a current dusty electrican of a boyfriend) and I really treated it badly and it did well, I am considering replacing it with one of these.... Would you say I should or shall I just buy a new Sebo Felix?
very good review. They should indeed give you more units to review. I would ask you to show how heavy is it if somebody want to use it in two story house, is it easy to move using stairs.?
+alsayari Dyson have never given me anything to review, I bought this cleaner myself. I don't find it very heavy to lift and I live in a three story house. The actual weight should be on Dyson's website, but I suggest you try one out in a store before deciding.
I got a DC55 Total clean today for £299 in Currys. Amazing machine. I needed the extra bin space and power cord but I wanted the power of the DC40. What is your opinion on the DC55?
Try a dyson with plaster dust. Fun true story... A few years back my brother was doing some work on James' house installing full house air con. He had his trusty henry with him. Mr Dyson insisted my brother try one of his hoovers... My brother tried to kindly decline stating henry is indistrial designed for plaster / brick dust etc. As aforementioned James insisted. My brother blew up 2 of Dysons different models that mr Dyson had kindly supplied and left James Dyson a little red in the face. Don't get me wrong dyson is a brilliant hoover but it certainly doesn't cover all bases. For the record, I don't clean plaster and brick dust and I'm very happy with my dc40
aarrgh I can't make my mind up. I have 5 children soon to be 6 and I've always used a dyson I currently have a dc27 animal. I don't have pets but due to kids and dust allergy I use the pet hoovers. I loved the new Shark and I like the dyson ball ball which one is best? went to curry to have a look at the shark as it was on offer but a guy their soon gave us the cons about it then went on to rave about the dyson which I agree are very good but I didn't realise till on the way out I overheard he was a dyson rep so says it all that he would recommend the dyson over the shark. I don't know what to do. x
I would chose the Shark Powered Lift Away over a Dyson anyday and I don't work for any vacuum manufacturer. However, if I had allergies, I would buy a decent bagged cleaner such as a Sebo or Miele.
Is it any better on pet hair with max apart from the snow plowing? My DC40 is the same colour as yours. It comfortably reaches 10 stairs and will just about do the 11th step in my houde. I have found the DC25 being comfortable doing 11 steps but the DC40 is a better machine overall
In the market for a new vacuum and Its a toss up between the Dyson dc40 and the Miele c3 complete Cat&Dog. Even though one is bag and one is bag-less which of the two do you honestly recommend more. Iv a dog that sheds quiet a bit.
iShootBandits I have not used the Miele so can't say if it would be better than the Dyson, but you have to factor in the cost of replacement bags with the Miele. If you have mainly wall to wall carpets, then the Dyson would probably be the better choice, but if you have more hard floors then I would pick the Miele. I would look at the Sebo uprights too. The X4 Pet or Felix Pet are both well made, reliable cleaners that pick up pet hair easily. The brushroll on the Sebo cleaners is better than the Dyson and can be removed easily should you need to clean tangled hair from it.
iShootBandits Then the Miele could be the best choice. I would also recommend getting the parquet twister floor brush. Miele's website has the full range of accessories available.
The MK2s were just a later version with minor improvements. The DC41 is a larger version of the DC40 with a longer hose, cord and a bigger bin. You can compare then on Dyson's website.
Raymond Fowler I believe the DC41 is slightly larger with a longer hose and mains lead. Check Dyson's website and you will be able to compare them both for yourself.
Good review, though you should be able to test your felix in the corners and find it sucks up most of it, if not all. This is due to the intentional air openings on the side, and I find it works well on either side. My biggest gripe though with Dyson is really, their Cinetic vacuum, which now they gleefully boost how this vacuum doesn't lose suction. Oh wait, didn't you say that for the past 20 years? Oh, you were lying then right? Already knew that anyhow since the UK advertising people forced them to remove that tagline since it had filters to wash to maintain suction. Dyson is the apple of vacuums, and that isn't a compliment by any means.
ibaisaic+ i think you ahould try out the dyson ball animal 2. its more quiet because of the acustics, and closed cell foam, and its a lot more powerful than the previous ball animal. if its too much, then how about ordering one on ao.com
lol it was a good cleaner at first but the brush does not get up all the bits of lint and there is one rug in the house only one of our 6 vacuums can clean
Super amazing video! I watched the whole thing! You should check out my new dyson cinetic science big ball animal upright videos on my channel. Sadly ours doesn't have the adjustment in the power nozzle like yours would. I would LOVE for you to get one of these in the UK and test it. No pressure motor filter. Just the cyclones. Also can you do me a favor. After you empty it in the trash can or wherever. Can you do a video and show what the bottom center airflow channel looks like please? You will see in one of my videos my concern. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. Keep up the great videos! Nobody does it like you!
Hello, I have watched several of your videos including the latest Dyson ones and was impressed by the performance of the DC59 and Cinetic. If I have time I will make a short video showing the bin emptying, but I suspect mine will do what yours did. I tend to use another bagged vacuum to clean the bin out anyway so it's not something I'm very concerned about, but I can see how in time that the dust would affect the performance of the exhaust filter. Glad you managed to sit through the whole video, it was a bit long😄
ibaisaic haha. It was such a great informative video I couldn't stop watching lol. 😁 the dyson v6 fluffy would probably be the one you'd like the most. It has a post motor hepa filter. Also I haven't seen you review any water filtration cleaners. The sirena is a pretty cool vacuum. I'm sure it's available in the uk. I just keep thinking about all the dust in your air that you're breathing lol. Like when you emptied the bin inside. I flipped. Lol. You will e very impressed with the filtration of a water vacuum. Sirena has high and low speed settings so you can always keep it running and cleaning the air on low-speed, or if you want a quick air wash keep it on high. Thankyou for your amazing videos!
Water filter vacuums are very thin on the ground in the Uk and very, very expensive, so I doubt I will be trying one any time soon. I have never been bothered by dust allergies which is why I am happy to empty the mess on my carpets inside. I have made a few videos recently where there was dust and dirt everywhere, but after filming I cleaned thoroughly and dusted all the surfaces with a vacuum cleaner so all the evidence of my filthy demo was removed.
kode1996 I've seen you're videos and find both channels useful. It's inspired me to perhaps do my own video about the V6 Absolute. The UK version has a more powerful brush bar than the USA version so I'd like to see how well that works and upload. UK has a V6 "Total Clean" which is equivalent to the Absolute of the USA; and the Absolute in the UK has a more powerful motorised head but comes with a hard floor tool that also features a max setting like ibaisaic demonstrates here. For that reason; (here's the significant bit here) I think that max setting is for hard floors. I believe it is supposed to create a better seal on hard floors for better suction between floorboards; something even the Fluffy head on the V6 has some difficulty with; but the Max setting makes it poorer for picking up even medium surface debris
I picked up the office cleaner to clean up the feathers of a bird that had dropped down the chimney and found that the cleaner was blocked and full . I tried to empty it and found the filters choked . I had to put the compressed air line down for ages to unclock the filters ...got covered in dust and when I put the contraption back together it was just the same , poor suction mighty heavy to handle , awkward with that ball arrangement and flimsy to say the least . I put it away and resorted to the old WW2 hoover , y'know the one with the bag that never goes wrong . I emptied the back and got the office carpet clean again in no time . I wouldnt say the old Hoover is better just in a different league for efficiency and cleaning . Anybody including me can empty the bag zip it back up and finish the job . The Dyson has been consigned to the rubbish skip . What a useless contraption it is .
Dysons are terrible overcomplicated over engineered unnecessary expensive garbage shark hoovers put them to shame. My dyson can't even hoover medium pile carpet It gets stuck like it's in sinking mud. I absolutely despise dyson the rollerballs have a mind of thier own it's like wearing wellie boots in sinking mud. He's said it all really he sold on all his other dyson hoovers before he registered them that tells the real story of dyson as does every auction house in the county they sell for 5 quid each second hand in a general auction house in Wales and not much more in England. Dyson has hoodwinked a nation with science and people's stupidity then when he got really rich he layed off all his u.k workers for foreign labour. Pretty disgusting for a guy who was made rich by this country. He called it streamlining his business I call it blatant greed.
so I just went to the salvation army not looking for a vacuum but came across a DC40 for $40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea what a amazing find I had found until I saw this video. I feel like I won the lottery
thank you for your detailed demo!!!
Thanks from the US! I've had this same Dyson for 5 0r 6 months and was not utilizing some of the brushes.. After watching your review I have new appreciation for my Dyson!

I meant currys *
Tracey you should of tried a henry, the are the best hoovers going, no filters to clean and bags last ages. We have had ours for 11 years
'Maximum Fill Line' lol...
I've seen Hoover's blocked from bottom of the bin, all way back to the brush bar !! Lol. I can just see the owner complaining, it's not sucking anymore,, take it to the tip.
I've just had a Dyson dc50 out of a skip by my house.
Bypass valve singing like a good un. No suck at brushbar or fleiss pipe. Opened it up, New Filter sock and Hepa filter. Owner had tried !! Blockage was at change over valve. Dog hair and Mortar.
Stripped cleaned ready to go . 60min all in.
The Wife is Very happy with it lol.
Nice vids mate.
😀👍
Another tip for your viewers, always remove the bin,, gently tap the Cyclone to remove extra fine dust from the chamber.
Hope it helps. 👍
Glad dyson improved their quality. Your tests are really useful.
Still can't see any advantage to a bagless vac.
Comprehensive and entertaining review of the Dyson DC40, many thanks and keep up the good work.
+Alan Wood I will try.👍
Hi roger thats a really powerful vacuum cleaner
I love Dyson vacuums especially the Dc 40
Ibaisaic. It's Me Captain Sir Shawn David Capps Here. I Recognize About The Dyson DC's 24 And 25 Are All Right. That Make Noise You Know Not Doing Cleaning Duty I Don't Like That At All.

You Did Extremely Great Job. The Fantom Vacuums Are Extremely Nice Machines.
Very Comprehensive! Thank you so much for the great review. Keep up the amazing work.
Dyson seems more honest than most corporations. I think they know when they've done something wrong, and they try to address and fix it in the future.
blakaeg really? when did this happen?
YLW Pyro
Noise? You sold it because of the noise? Loud or not, it sounds awesome. Like the God of thunder!
I got a karcher mv2 in the end! The 12 litre capacity, 1200w motor and ability to Hoover up spills without changing anything was too tempting!

Laura Key Hope you still like your Karcher. Wouldn't have been my choice for a domestic vacuum, but OK for clearing up after DIY.
Kids and pets make more mess than DIY 😂 the Airo turbo brush (same as Henry one) seems to really get my long hair out of the carpets too, yep love it! I'm halfway through watching the Hoover eco g review as I got this notification 😱 coincidence!
Great review! I was going to buy the DC28C but after seeing both your reviews I'm going to get this instead.
+EdWood2006 This one is far better than the DC28C, especially if you have any pets to clean up after.
you are no Benny Hill but were enjoyable to watch,,very thorough...just aquired a used DC40 from family and your piece was very helpful....thanks tom
I am SO glad I am not Benny Hill.
I would like to see you do a demonstration of the Dyson v8 cordless vacuum
Well I watched the whole video and all I can say is I am impressed. Looking forward for the future videos.
I own one of these and an original DC01 from 1995. I have refurbished both machines. The DC01 is easier to use and easier to maintain. The DC40 is really complicated and blocks easily it is like an octopus to use and very noisy. So much for progress.
Thank you for this review. Very informative and great insight. Good job!
+Danny Besser Thanks.
I just ordered a DC40, can't wait to see what it can do with my black carpet and cat hairs :P... coming from a DC35... this DC40 looks like it really really out performs the DC35! I actually in all my 35 years really want to clean now!

I would be very surprised if you get 10-15 years out of any new Dyson. You'll probably find the brush roll motor is the first thing to go.

your opionion for general household cleaning what would you say thats better for the money in terms of cleaning?
Also doesnt have to be dyson or shark.
thanks and great video
I would pick the Shark over the Dyson. The Shark is my daily vacuum at the moment.
Thank you. Very useful. I'm getting one now. Regards

All I can say is WOW! You have made my day watching this. Definitely going to get one now :) You are a legend!!! Thumbs up to the cieling!

I got a DC55 Total clean today for £299 in Currys. Amazing machine. I needed the extra bin space and power cord but I wanted the power of the DC40. What is your opinion on the DC55?
+Carlover16 Never used one so I don't know.
+ibaisaic it is pretty much exactly the same as the DC40 but a bigger bin, longer hose and longer cord
Try a dyson with plaster dust.
Fun true story...
A few years back my brother was doing some work on James' house installing full house air con. He had his trusty henry with him. Mr Dyson insisted my brother try one of his hoovers... My brother tried to kindly decline stating henry is indistrial designed for plaster / brick dust etc. As aforementioned James insisted. My brother blew up 2 of Dysons different models that mr Dyson had kindly supplied and left James Dyson a little red in the face.
Don't get me wrong dyson is a brilliant hoover but it certainly doesn't cover all bases.
For the record, I don't clean plaster and brick dust and I'm very happy with my dc40
can you review more affordable vacuums? Bissel bagless? under $100? maybe Panasonic models? Bagless or not?
aarrgh I can't make my mind up. I have 5 children soon to be 6 and I've always used a dyson I currently have a dc27 animal. I don't have pets but due to kids and dust allergy I use the pet hoovers. I loved the new Shark and I like the dyson ball ball which one is best? went to curry to have a look at the shark as it was on offer but a guy their soon gave us the cons about it then went on to rave about the dyson which I agree are very good but I didn't realise till on the way out I overheard he was a dyson rep so says it all that he would recommend the dyson over the shark. I don't know what to do. x
I would chose the Shark Powered Lift Away over a Dyson anyday and I don't work for any vacuum manufacturer. However, if I had allergies, I would buy a decent bagged cleaner such as a Sebo or Miele.

Great vid I’ve just refurbished one
Do you still have it and do you like it
Is it any better on pet hair with max apart from the snow plowing? My DC40 is the same colour as yours. It comfortably reaches 10 stairs and will just about do the 11th step in my houde. I have found the DC25 being comfortable doing 11 steps but the DC40 is a better machine overall
Luke Davies The Max setting doesn't improve pet hair pick up. A change to the brushes would make a difference in my opinion.
ibaisaic do you still have the DC40
the max button only use for hard floors and kinchen floors hope that help
Would you recommend the dc40 over a dc25? Which has the best agitation and suction?
guitarplayerforu The DC40 has the best agitation by far but can't comment on the suction power. It certainly performs better than the DC25.
In the market for a new vacuum and Its a toss up between the Dyson dc40 and the Miele c3 complete Cat&Dog. Even though one is bag and one is bag-less which of the two do you honestly recommend more. Iv a dog that sheds quiet a bit.
iShootBandits I have not used the Miele so can't say if it would be better than the Dyson, but you have to factor in the cost of replacement bags with the Miele. If you have mainly wall to wall carpets, then the Dyson would probably be the better choice, but if you have more hard floors then I would pick the Miele. I would look at the Sebo uprights too. The X4 Pet or Felix Pet are both well made, reliable cleaners that pick up pet hair easily. The brushroll on the Sebo cleaners is better than the Dyson and can be removed easily should you need to clean tangled hair from it.
ibaisaic Iv got one carpet which is the stairs and whole upper landing, the rest is hardwood flooring. Thank you for the speedy reply.
iShootBandits Then the Miele could be the best choice. I would also recommend getting the parquet twister floor brush. Miele's website has the full range of accessories available.
Which dyson upright models have a brush bar on and off
good demo thanks i will buy one des,
You can’t buy this model brand new as it has been discontinued for years.
Makes me rethink my dislike of Dyson. Excellent job, as always!
Please don't change your mind on my account. I wouldn't call myself a fan either.
How does this model compare to the dc40 mk1?
Hi there,
What's the difference between the DC40 and DC41 machines? And what's different between the DC41 and DC41 Mk2?
Hope you can help :)
The MK2s were just a later version with minor improvements. The DC41 is a larger version of the DC40 with a longer hose, cord and a bigger bin. You can compare then on Dyson's website.
ibaisaic
Does this agitate better than your Bissell powerglide liftoff?
The Bissell agitates better, but the DC40 is a better cleaner overall.
Really helpful review, thank you
The reason why the Brushes r spaced far apart from each other is so it can dig deep in to the carpet
If you have time would you be able to try a Dyson Cinetic Science Big Ball?
Luke Davies I have the time, but not the money.
is there a big difference between the DC40 and DC41....
Raymond Fowler I believe the DC41 is slightly larger with a longer hose and mains lead. Check Dyson's website and you will be able to compare them both for yourself.
Can you do a dyson dc50 next time?
could you test the dyson dc40 to the morphy richards lift away or with a sebo cleaner
Jason Rayner I don't have the Morphy Richards any more. I may do a comparison video with the DC40 and two other bagless uprights.
that would be nice to see . my grandma bought a morphy Richards lift away a feu months ago
max mode makes the suction 20 air watts faster and it digs deepper in the carpet
The Noobly Minecart // NooblyTNM Minecraft j
That does sound really quiet for a dyson good performance aswell
I was Excited roger
Good review, though you should be able to test your felix in the corners and find it sucks up most of it, if not all. This is due to the intentional air openings on the side, and I find it works well on either side. My biggest gripe though with Dyson is really, their Cinetic vacuum, which now they gleefully boost how this vacuum doesn't lose suction. Oh wait, didn't you say that for the past 20 years? Oh, you were lying then right? Already knew that anyhow since the UK advertising people forced them to remove that tagline since it had filters to wash to maintain suction.
Dyson is the apple of vacuums, and that isn't a compliment by any means.
Joe Joe I am not a big fan of Dyson, but this is the best one I have used in a long time. I prefer Sebo as a brand though.
i have got the same apart from it is a d for carpet
do u still have this? how has it held up?
+Mario Cardona It has held up very well, but then I haven't used it since the demo as I prefer bagged vacuum cleaners from German manufacturers.
ibaisaic oh ok i see thank u for responding! Whats the reason u prefer bagged german vacuum?
+Mario Cardona Quality, reliability, ease of use, easy to service, will outlast a Dyson, hygienic to empty.
ibaisaic what are some good german brands?
Sebo and Miele with Sebo being my preferred brand. Vorwerk are supposed to be good, but are very expensive.
Do you like the dyson dc 40
Nellie4644whitton Whitton It's a good machine, but doesn't do very well on a lot of pet hair. I prefer bagged vacuum cleaners in general.
I prefer Henry Hoovers I have a Hetti Hoover its faultless
For bagless the Gtec K9 its Superior
ibaisaic+ i think you ahould try out the dyson ball animal 2. its more quiet because of the acustics, and closed cell foam, and its a lot more powerful than the previous ball animal. if its too much, then how about ordering one on ao.com
I may look at trying out a small ball Dyson soon.
Snowy Rabbit wtf
lol it was a good cleaner at first but the brush does not get up all the bits of lint and there is one rug in the house only one of our 6 vacuums can clean
connor coutts sadly that one cleaner that can clean that rug has been laid to rest in the loft for forever more.
I have a DC40, not the same build as my old DC04 .
Super amazing video! I watched the whole thing! You should check out my new dyson cinetic science big ball animal upright videos on my channel. Sadly ours doesn't have the adjustment in the power nozzle like yours would. I would LOVE for you to get one of these in the UK and test it. No pressure motor filter. Just the cyclones. Also can you do me a favor. After you empty it in the trash can or wherever. Can you do a video and show what the bottom center airflow channel looks like please? You will see in one of my videos my concern. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. Keep up the great videos! Nobody does it like you!
Hello,
I have watched several of your videos including the latest Dyson ones and was impressed by the performance of the DC59 and Cinetic.
If I have time I will make a short video showing the bin emptying, but I suspect mine will do what yours did. I tend to use another bagged vacuum to clean the bin out anyway so it's not something I'm very concerned about, but I can see how in time that the dust would affect the performance of the exhaust filter.
Glad you managed to sit through the whole video, it was a bit long😄
ibaisaic haha. It was such a great informative video I couldn't stop watching lol. 😁 the dyson v6 fluffy would probably be the one you'd like the most. It has a post motor hepa filter. Also I haven't seen you review any water filtration cleaners. The sirena is a pretty cool vacuum. I'm sure it's available in the uk. I just keep thinking about all the dust in your air that you're breathing lol. Like when you emptied the bin inside. I flipped. Lol. You will e very impressed with the filtration of a water vacuum. Sirena has high and low speed settings so you can always keep it running and cleaning the air on low-speed, or if you want a quick air wash keep it on high. Thankyou for your amazing videos!
Water filter vacuums are very thin on the ground in the Uk and very, very expensive, so I doubt I will be trying one any time soon. I have never been bothered by dust allergies which is why I am happy to empty the mess on my carpets inside.
I have made a few videos recently where there was dust and dirt everywhere, but after filming I cleaned thoroughly and dusted all the surfaces with a vacuum cleaner so all the evidence of my filthy demo was removed.
kode1996 I've seen you're videos and find both channels useful. It's inspired me to perhaps do my own video about the V6 Absolute. The UK version has a more powerful brush bar than the USA version so I'd like to see how well that works and upload. UK has a V6 "Total Clean" which is equivalent to the Absolute of the USA; and the Absolute in the UK has a more powerful motorised head but comes with a hard floor tool that also features a max setting like ibaisaic demonstrates here.
For that reason; (here's the significant bit here) I think that max setting is for hard floors. I believe it is supposed to create a better seal on hard floors for better suction between floorboards; something even the Fluffy head on the V6 has some difficulty with; but the Max setting makes it poorer for picking up even medium surface debris
Mark Pritchard I have the V6 now and I'll post a video at some point.
In short it's awesome. Picking up what the mains powered Dyson leaves behind.
that dyson is a mesen and the dyson dco4
is cwayet ecsept adco7
Omfg obey the max full line
Ethan Hamsters it doesn’t make a differents
Ethan Hamsters I meant it doesn’t make a difference
@@harrisonlemm1719It's there for a reason
Ayo british version with the American floor head from a 41 onto a 40
It's bad that this vacuum blows at the dirt that is on the floor. Everything is in the air. ☹️
I picked up the office cleaner to clean up the feathers of a bird that had dropped down the chimney and found that the cleaner was blocked and full . I tried to empty it and found the filters choked . I had to put the compressed air line down for ages to unclock the filters ...got covered in dust and when I put the contraption back together it was just the same , poor suction mighty heavy to handle , awkward with that ball arrangement and flimsy to say the least . I put it away and resorted to the old WW2 hoover , y'know the one with the bag that never goes wrong . I emptied the back and got the office carpet clean again in no time . I wouldnt say the old Hoover is better just in a different league for efficiency and cleaning . Anybody including me can empty the bag zip it back up and finish the job . The Dyson has been consigned to the rubbish skip . What a useless contraption it is .
You have done the right thing.
This is not a dc 40 it has do65 brush bar but they improved it to be better than all other Dyson vacuums
+Merzely Gaming It said DC40 on the box, the instructions and the website where I purchased it, so I'm pretty sure it's a DC40.
It is the DC40 UK, the DC41 MK2 is the British version of the DC65.
i have a dyson dc70
my mum has a dyson dc41 mk1 and it is crap (pardon my French) and i find my 1974 hoover ranger is better
Crap isn't French. You could have used the word Merde though. I personally like this Dyson and don't think it's merde at all.
my dc40 clogs once a week in the tube within the ball..good luck..dyson is crap
he missed 3 spots.
Snoopy Ali I got them when the camera was off.
Dysons are terrible overcomplicated over engineered unnecessary expensive garbage shark hoovers put them to shame. My dyson can't even hoover medium pile carpet It gets stuck like it's in sinking mud. I absolutely despise dyson the rollerballs have a mind of thier own it's like wearing wellie boots in sinking mud. He's said it all really he sold on all his other dyson hoovers before he registered them that tells the real story of dyson as does every auction house in the county they sell for 5 quid each second hand in a general auction house in Wales and not much more in England. Dyson has hoodwinked a nation with science and people's stupidity then when he got really rich he layed off all his u.k workers for foreign labour. Pretty disgusting for a guy who was made rich by this country. He called it streamlining his business I call it blatant greed.
