Dyson DC 08 Origin

...a little afraid that the Dyson would not live up to its promises, and that I would be stuck with a gadget that looked pretty rather than an effective cleaning system. CLAIMS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER. The Manufacturer claims to have invented Cyclone technology which sounds very fancy, but what in fact does this mean to the average housewife ? It meant nothing to me when I bought the machine. They were empty words. Cyclone technology is supposed ...
...particles into a pile. The Dyson has a small suction hole at the front of the machine which picks up any particles that may accidentally have been pushed forward by the machine. This is extremely useful and more important than other design features, as I know that my cleaning is effective right to the edges. NEVER HAVING TO BUY FILTERS Now this was a big plus. I do not know the readers experience of hoovers, although I would imagine that most people ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

My love affair with the Dyson vacuum began many years ago when as a poor student I spent my summer holidays working as a cleaner in an old folks' home. In those dark days, the Dyson cleaner was the only ray of light in my otherwise gloomy days of dusters, dishes, toilet cleaner and mops. Now, anyone who has ever visited my flat, been in my car or even seen my desk at work for that matter, will know that I'm not the world's tidiest person and might ...
...a lifelong affiliation to the Dyson vacuum cleaner. The Dyson I used when employed as a cleaner was the original yellow upright Dyson. So impressed was I with its cleaning ability and most importantly, the ability it gave me to actually see the dirt as it was picked up, that as soon as I could afford to buy one, I went out to buy a Dyson all of my very own. And what a joyous day that was! In case there is anyone out there (I do pity you!) who is ...

...beneath it. The Dyson DC08 Animal** is going to set you back £299 at most electrical stores and is widely available. It looks just like this picture, except the colours are different. It's purple where the turqoise is, and silver where the blue is. The cheapest price I could get was £257.99 from www.electricaldiscountuk.co.uk. If you find it cheaper elsewhere, don't tell me!! This included delivery within 48 hours - very impressive. BUILD AND PORTABILITY ...
...the old hoover away. This Dyson basically has an answer for everything. I'm sure if you asked it nicely it would make you a cheese and pickle sandwich. It even has an in built clippy bit so you don't have to hold the hose. And it's my favourite colours! WHY IS IT MORE POWERFUL THAN MY OLD HOOVER? Dyson go on and on about their revolutionary Root12Cyclone™ technology. Whatever… I don't really care what they call it. It picks up dust, pet hair, and ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

Dyson DC08 Origin Dark Steel/Yellow Cylinder Cleaner. ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- As far as luck with household electricals go with me it is all or nothing at all as when one seems to come to the end of its life cycle all the others soon follow in its footsteps. Any way that is my little moan out of the way, back to the reviewing. I recently found myself having to replace my old ...
...decided to go for the Dyson DC08 Origin Dark Steel/Yellow Cylinder Cleaner. The reason for my choice is that I have heard Dyson are top quality and I needed a good cleaner due to having asthma and a very furry dog. After then browsing through the various retailers of this model I found myself purchasing it from Argos as it was on offer from £199.99 down to £174.99 and still is if anyone want one, so hurry. (I should be on commission from Argos.) ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

I bought my Dyson 2 years ago, at that time it costs £250 and I felt it was money well spent. First of all, I live in a flat which, for good or bad, is fairly big and was, until recently, carpeted throughout. This basically means that there is a lot of hoovering to do. A few years ago, I decided to swap my old carpet - lovely pink - to a new one and made the awful mistake to get a dark blue carpet which means that EVERY specs of dust can be seen ...
...in order to use your Dyson to the best of its ability, hoovering with a Dyson is a complete different exercise than a normal hoover. Thanks to the amount of suction and the wheels at the base of the head, you glide your unit instead of pushing it down. It is an effortless exercise. Best of all, the Beast climbs stairs !! Thanks to its design and weight - approx. 10 kg (20lb) - it is easy enough to pull it behind you as you climb the stairs, it will ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...my partner suggested getting a Dyson like his mum has. So, there was me thinking, ‘They can’t be ‘That’ good’. But yes, oh yes, they really are. The advantages of a Dyson, especially the DC08 HEPA Cylinder Cleaner are numerous. Firstly, it’s bag less. Yes, no more changing the bag! No more looking for replacement bags and having a nightmare trying to find them. This saves money no end. Especially if (Like me), you do have animals and pet hair is ...
...and without a problem. Thirdly, Dyson Root Cyclone™ advanced technology. As you may or may not have seen in the adverts for these fantastic products, the Cyclone Technology for this product is amazing to say the least (I must sound obsessed!). Ok, here’s how it works (Thanks to Dyson.co.uk for this information)… 1. By making the air stream spin, dirt and debris are subjected to centrifugal force. The dirt and debris are thrown out of the air. ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...good people told me a Dyson was, I didn’t believe the price could possibly be justified. A classic case of paying for the name. But then 6 months ago yet another vacuum cleaner broke on me after not much use and I decided to face the ‘told you so’s’ and splash out. After a lot of reading, researching and online price comparisons, I decided on the DC08 Animal cylinder model. I thought that maybe it was the cat hairs that had buggered my previous ...
...name and price-bracket such as Dyson should be getting right. In the end, I can’t decide whether or not the Dyson is worth the money. It is certainly worth more money than other vacuums, but the gap is so large I find it hard to justify. Also, the standard brushes are so good and do pick up so much animal hair that I don’t think it’s worth paying the extra £40 for the Animal attachments. That said, cleaning performance is as I said the most important ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

To those who know me, the fact I know where the vacuum lives, let alone being willing to write a review of one should give a clue that I either was amazed or totally disgusted by this product. Well, I was totally blown away the first time I used it. First thing... it's expensive. We'd bought (and returned, and returned the return) a cheaper (about a third of the price) look-alike which was poorly built and frankly didn't work, and out of sheer ...
...planned budget. To balance the initial purchase cost (which by the way is totally worth it), there are no other supplies needed - there are no bags to replace, and the one filter that does need attention is a simple shake out and rinse when it gets clogged ! With two asthmatics in the house, and a dog (who seems to like to share his coat !), the HEPA filter and turbo brush brush head was the eventual choice. HEPA filters on anything are worth the ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...get it. ~ Dyson ~ The Dyson brand is a very well know brand when it comes to vacuum cleaners and a few people I know have them and swear by them. So what's the big deal ? - cleaning power and no loss of suction, robust and reliable. Dyson also make quite a lot of different models for which ever purpose you require. Apparently Dyson only make dry hoovers which is fine for us. ~ The DC08 Origin ~ Bought it, put extra cover on it and brought it home ...
...price and the fact that Dyson are good hoovers. Upon assembling and using it, you can see where the features come in handy and why they are better than the average hoover. ~ Features ~ Most of the features here are patented Dyson technology so I will break them down using the wording Dyson use. Cyclone technology - To me and you this probably means nothing but it is designed for constant suction. After using this hoover with an almost full canister, ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...house with my funky purple Dyson Animal, there shineth the light. My mum bought myself and my husband a Dyson Animal for Christmas, and as the ‘primary housekeeper’, I have to say that it is a truly wonderful invention. To place a little background to it… James Dyson is an inventor by nature. Early potterings brought about the sea truck, wheelboat, and most famously (pre hoover) the ballbarrow – you know the wheel barrow with one big basketball looking ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...make. I have owned a Dyson before, the 01 model right when the company set up years ago in the UK. After a lot of pondering I finally decided to get the DC08 Animal Vacuum Cleaner. Not only for the alluring purple colour, to also suck up all of those pet hairs from every knack and cranny in the house with the special attachment tools. Also at £219.99 from my local Dixons store it was hard to resist. Enough of my life story now and lets get onto ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...beat it - or so Dyson say and I have to agree. When I moved into my new place the one thing I had completely forgotten about was a vacuum cleaner and this lead to much rushing around when I realised that my cough and wheezing was down to the amount of animal hair left by the previous owners. Not being well off enough to pay for new carpets I decided that I had to go forth and buy a Dyson - after all everyone I had spoken to raved about them. I paid ...
...I have spoken to the Dyson customer care line after a blockage in the telescopic pole - they were really helpful and talked me through how I could remove it without attaching lots of pipe cleaners together (a thought I seriously considered) and called back the following day to check that all was well. Overall I wouldn't buy consider buying any other brand of vacuum cleaner in the future as my DC08 has added me to the legion of Dyson fans. After using ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

...having to this. A fact Dyson are obviously aware of as they provide a sticker to remind you to do this! The downside of this power is that if you have any loose rugs/carpets/lino you will not be able to move the machine very easily as it will literally stick itself to the floor! This would be a concern to me if i had any back probs or was older. Another problem (and one I belive later models have addressed) is that of storage, the hose and wand ...
...Where dyson really shine is in the after sales department. I had cause to call when I had a blockage and was treated to one of the most impressive displays of customer service I can ever remember! This is a nifty machine that does everything you want a vacuum to do and not too loudly at that. It has a few minor flaws but nothing that later models haven't put to rights, outshines it's competitors in nearly every field! Go get one! ...

...been thinking about buying a Dyson for some time, but had been put off in the past at the thought of spending a lot of money on a vacuum cleaner. However, I must say that now that I have decided to splash out on this Dyson, I have no regrets whatsoever! It is a very powerful machine, and picks up so much more than my previous vacuum did - my rugs and carpets are noticeably cleaner. The Dyson works very well on wooden floor boards too, which attract ...

The other thing I like about this Dyson is that it is compact and light weight. It is easy to pull along as you vacuum. The telescopic hose is particularly long, which means that you don't strain your back, and there are some useful attachments. As nothing is ever perfect, there are a couple of things that ...

Review of Dyson DC 08 Origin

I was a Dyson virgin until last month when my trusty Henry's nose kept falling off so I bit the bullet and decided to pay the £229 for the DC08 telescopic. What attracted to me about Dyson was, to be honest, being able to see my own dirt - errh! but wholly satisfying. I had held off getting one because of a) the cost and b) I had heard from more than one source that they can be unreliable. On further research though, I found out that it tends to ...
...cylinder version. Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating and i can honestly say that suction wise I have never had anything like it. I'm sure it would suck the paper off the walls if you pointed it in the right direction. After my Henry it did though seem awfully heavy and cumbersome. The hose, especially seemed unweildy and is definately a two-hander. The hose also seems quite flimsy compared to my Henry which is made of steel. I specifically ...
