"...Dyson said that testing its vacuum cleaners in an empty lab wouldn't
take into consideration their bagless design, which means they don't get
clogged up with dust the way other hoovers do..."

Yet again he conveniently ignores the dyson filters which do clog up.

The filters are PITA, need changing with monotonous frequency and are
expensive.

I just wash it under the tap. When I remember, about once a year...

Does Mr Dyson actually call his machine a hoover?

As do most makes. However, Having only recently tried a Dysan, it does seem
to work better then the Vax I have for the same power rating and both are
bagless.
I think Vacuum cleaning is an imprecise art at the best of times so who
knows.

Yes, some of the other makes conveniently fall to bits if you attempt to
wash them. I smell a rat here.

But how long will it continue working? The performance seems to be good,
but the build quality rubbish.

I have a 20 year old Panasonic upright with bags. All it has ever had is
new bags and a couple of drive belts. Despite there being a long haired
dog in the house for much of the time.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

The only Hoover I ever tried fell apart after about three months.
I replaced it with a Mercedes. It's been working perfectly for
20+ years now.

I've got a Hoover Junior in the shed - must be 50 years old and still
does the job.

His commercials never show the machines being emptied, as that would reveal that they are not at all 'bagless', as the only non-hazardous way to empty the cylinder is directly into a bin liner.

So how does this differ from my DC01 that is 19 years old, has needed
some work on the mains cable and a new hose?

I think it is more the case that the old(er) Dysons were indeed of very high quality but it is in more recent years that the quality has dropped.

You might argue that something similar has occurred with other brands also but I'm not hearing that it is quite to the same extent.

Perhaps you should leave the domestic chores to your carers.

You may jest. Back in the 50s, my parents' cylinder vacuum
cleaner had a permanent fabric bag. To empty it you removed the
end cap, upturned the whole thing onto a sheet of paper and then
trod a few times on a lever. This tensioned and then released a
spring to shake the bag and dislodge the dust.
