The Dyson sphere: science fiction comes to life,
I live in a basement studio with two dogs and a muddy yard, and this is the perfect vacuum cleaner for me. How many times has this floor really needed a quick vacuuming, but I just didn’t feel like hauling my gigantic machine out and then manhandling it around the narrow spaces? Then spending half an hour dismantling it every time it sucked up a stray cable of yarn from the carpet? Now I find myself pulling out the Dyson just to get the dust bunnies or caked mud out of one corner!
It weighs about nine pounds, it fits in all my narrow spaces without having to move the furniture, the sphere turns on a dime, and it can suck the rust off of an abandoned Studebaker. The attachments click on simply and securely. The roller has a sensor that stops it from turning the moment it detects it slowing down because something is caught in the brush, so it doesn’t wind around fifty times. The bucket is easy to clean. It’s even light for carrying up stairs, and the stairway attachment is so compact that it does a good job.
The Dyson technology isn’t really the Dyson Sphere of sci-fi stories, an artificial sphere millions of miles in diameter built around a sun to capture every kilowatt-hour of its energy in order to power an advanced civilization. It’s named after James Dyson, the Briton who invented it. He went inside a sawmill and discovered that the walls were not covered with sawdust because it had a giant fan assembly that created a cyclone effect, spinning the dust down into a collector. He immediately thought of building a vacuum cleaner with the same cyclone technology, since the accumulation of dust on the sides of a brand new bag saps half the power of a conventional vacuum within a few minutes after turning it on for the first time.
Potential demerits: It doesn’t have a height adjustment so it may not be the best for thick carpeting. It’s got a narrow footprint so if you have a large area it may require more passes. The power cord is fairly short, but then electrical cords are very heavy and that would just add to the weight. It has a bucket instead of a bag so you have to wash it out when you empty it. That doesn’t happen very often in my tiny space but again, the small bucket is not meant for a big house.
The larger version of this has all those features you’d want in a big house, but it weighs more and doesn’t go into narrow spaces. And when I bought mine, the larger one was actually cheaper.
Other companies have ripped off the idea since it’s almost too simple to patent effectively. I have no idea how their products compare. I love my Dyson because it is PURPLE!

|Very Pleased,
I just bought this today so I cant tell you how wonderful it still works after many uses but I can tell you that it worked absolutely wonderfully on my very yuckie, dirty, Cheerio crumb infested (toddler in the house) kitchen floor. I will never use a broom and dust pan again. Well, maybe the broom, but only to quickly sweep the stuff the Shark can’t reach under the lower cupboards (we live in an old apt which may have something to do with that). Not a big deal. I just swept it into the middle of the floor and then sucked it all right up with the Shark. It picks up much more than the broom/dust pan method, even better than my Hoover on the “hard floor” setting! It made mopping the old fashioned not so “yuckie.” Now Im starting to eye the steam mops. Here’s to no more getting on my hands and knees to clean the floors!
I also tried it out on the carpet (more crumbs!) and it worked the same. Great! This product obviously wont replace your regular vacuum, but for quick, light clean ups, and for “pre-mopping” vacuuming it does the job very well.
