Dyson vacuums – are there any alternatives?

2

Hi there,

I know that a lot of bagless vacuums are sold as "Cyclonic", but I remember hearing somewhere that only Dysons actually remove all the dirt from the air by cyclonic action, whilst the rest also rely on filters.

Is it true that other companies can not (due to patents, etc.) make vacuum cleaners that work in exactly the same way as a dyson, or is it just an urban myth created by clever marketing on the part of dyson?

If anyone (in the UK) has a vacuum they think is comparable to a dyson, I’d love to hear about it, cheers.

  1. I have the Eureka Boss SmartVac and I love it! It does a great job. I have kids, pets, and a husband who works construction, and it gets up all their dirt/dust/hair/etc… The suction is great and it has a switch to turn the beater bar off so you can use it on any hard floor surface. It’s not bagless, but I had a bagless before, and I would never have another one again. It’s very reasonably priced and I can’t see how a Dyson could outclean it. Hope this helps. Good luck!

  2. Dyson vacuum are terribly overpriced and not nearly as good as their ads state. Besides, when you go to empty that tank you better have the entire machine outside or you’ll have dust all over the house. Consumer reports rates vacuums every so often. Their latest top rated machine is the BOSS by Eureka.
