OK, a misleading title perhaps. And here on Dyson Medic, it isn’t often we write about something that isn’t a Dyson. But a vacuum cleaner that is rather like a Dyson for just £125 new….. Sounds cheap doesn’t it? What if I told you it was really a Hoover? But really it isn’t, because “Hoover” isn’t printed on the box. Are you confused… Read More »
I have opined for some time about the unavailability of Dyson DC25 brushroll motors. Why Dyson chose to use Johnson motors that have proved to be less than stellar is anyone’s guess. Why they continue to use them in the DC41 and other machines is also a mystery. I am referring to the Johnson DC771(2)XLLG ones that allegedly only… Read More »
Although the DC40 and DC41 are recent models of Dyson machine, and most are still under warranty, an alarming fault has been noted by a few people and the only answer is often a new cleaner head. These machines have a central wheel on the soleplate that prevents the machine making too much contact with… Read More »
This weekend, I was invited to cast an eye over some American specification 110v-120v DC25’s that have somehow found themselves in the UK. The object of the exercise was to strip one down and see exactly what was needed to convert them to UK specification. As I found it quite interesting, I thought I might share some of that here. American… Read More »
Those in the trade have known for a while that Dyson were about to launch a combined hand dryer and tap. We wrote about it here on Dyson Medic last year here: Dyson Submits Patents For Water Tap That Can Dry Your Hands. However, what was kept under wraps slightly better was the face-lifted hand dryers and all new… Read More »
Dyson discontinued the purple stair tools some time ago. They reverted to making only grey/silver ones that were compatible for any machine. However, now they have the cheek to charge you a whopping £10 for one of their stair tools. And as you are checking out, adding a further £3 for shipping. An eye-watering £13… Read More »
For the lady who left a comment here today requesting how to access the clutch on her DC04, I was going to put up a tutorial. However, I found a video that showed how to do it very well indeed. So I didn’t need to make one. The video was produced by Alec Nelson over at Vacuum Spot in… Read More »
Want to save a cool £110 on a brand new Dyson? The DC14 is a great Dyson vacuum cleaner. It is the culmination of everything Dyson learned making the DC01, DC04, and DC07. You can read our review on the DC14 here: >>Dyson DC14 Review<< if you want to know more about them. The DC14, is… Read More »
I had wanted a Dyson AM04 Hot for some time. What put me off was the £200+ price tag for what is essentially a flashy fan heater. Most online sellers are currently selling these for around £280 which is way too much money. However, when one of the parts suppliers I use offered a (£230 inc. VAT)… Read More »
Yes, you read that right! A BLACK Dyson Airblade. How cool is that? I have never seen one before, and neither have you. The reason for this is that Dyson do not actually make a black Airblade hand dryer. They make them in silver and white only. Dyson make the Airblade in the AB01 (aluminium body) and AB03 (polycarbonate… Read More »
Dyson have filed a patent application for a tap which can dry your hands. So a Dyson tap-come-hand dryer is on the way. As reported first by the New Scientist, the idea is to have a single tap on your sink which contains an air blower as well as a water spout. Presumably, they intend… Read More »
Looking for new Dyson DC14? The DC14 Origin is one of Dyson’s all-time best-selling models. A well loved machine that many people were sorry to see go. The DC33 replacement many people say is “too plasticky”. They are hard to find new since Dyson discontinued them, as most have been long since sold. However, Dyson Medic has… Read More »
When a Dyson clutch is faulty, I prefer to change the unit. Its more time efficient. I also prefer to buy a new clutch over a used one. However, if a clutch looks otherwise OK, and the white nylon wheel isn’t all chewed up, and only the belt has snapped, I sometimes change the belts. Some of… Read More »
Dyson have launched the new DC50 ball. (What happened to the late forties machines we don’t know – maybe they are saving those model numbers for later). Confusing isn’t it? 40 or so models of Dyson vacuum cleaners. Why re-invent the wheel so fast? Or is re-invent the ball……… Anyway, the new DC50 appears to be part of the DC40/DC41 family, in that… Read More »
