Gah.
Code breakage and I can't be bothered to type it out. But! Dyson filter housing be missing due to idiot partner. I have spent my last tenner on the filter and have nothing to put it in.

I would like to know some housework related stories.

If it's a DC07 I can probably hook you up with a filter housing.
(I helped save b3ta! C, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 12:45, archived)
Tis, it's an older one.
It only has one clip above the HEPA filter. Thing is, I wasn't aware it needed a full big old filter and only bought the thin cover for a filter.
(I helped save b3ta! Bats, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 12:47, archived)

Is it this type:

I keep a huge stock of hoover parts in because it helps me to get random internet girls addresses sometimes.

Actually, I have an entire hoover in my shed with a burned out motor which I can't afford to replace.
(I helped save b3ta! C, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 13:03, archived)
Not quite.
I think it's one of these: Pic but all I got sold was a thin cover like this: Pic 2 and I'm not sure if I need the big bit underneath or not.
(I helped save b3ta! Bats, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 13:09, archived)

Ah no, mine's like this:

That's the type that fits in the side of the machine by the wheel.
I've just stuck the filter pad in where the HEPA filter should go and am hoping for the best.
(I helped save b3ta! Bats, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 13:16, archived)

I'm pretty sure you do need the big bit in - in fact I suspect the reason the motor in mine burned out was because my idiot ex girlfriend used it without the filter carriage.

The most housework I did at the weekend was vacuum the kitchen
And that was only because I had got compost all over the floor when repotting my herbs.

I meant to do housework over the weekend
but we were out at a wedding on Saturday and it was too hot on Sunday so I didn't. If anyone else feels strongly enough about the state of the floors, I'm quite happy to show them where the hoover is.

Dyson are quite good
they've got a 5-year guarantee and when my mum's one broke a man came out to her house to fix it. She's had it about 10 years now with only one issue. Pricey at first, but worth it.

Yeh I was thinking Dyson
I may go Ebaying for a refurbed one though as they are ridiculously expensive and I would rather spend my money on other things!

or get it on a new store card
department stores love giving them away and you usually get 20% off your first shop with it. Pay it off and cut the card up. Simples.

they are overpriced
and it's mostly marketing hype. Miele make the best vacuums by a country mile.

just from 30 seconds of hoovering it picked up a ball of dust the size of a ping pong ball.

I bought my new hoover before I moved out. Previously my parents had an old Dyson DC04. My brand new hoover made it look like we'd never cleaned the house :P

it's got bugger all to do with Dyson.
It's having a new machine that does it, plus the cyclones in a Dyson make the dirt more "obvious" in the clear bin

a vacuum is a vacuum. The clue is in the name. One can't be better than another at sucking, beyond basic power differences. The only thing that really makes a difference is having a powered spinning brush in the suction head for deep cleaning carpets and furniture. Try a Miele Cat&Dog.

I'm sure all companies make some duff individual appliances occasionally?
I'm not really talking about personal experinece here. It's just a statement of engineering fact, dyson's marketing hype is bullshit. beyond a very basic level that is achieved by all reasonable quality models, the vacuum part of a vacuum cleaner is identical. Dysons don't "suck better" because they can't.

it can't do much for efficiency to have to suck through a paper bag, mind you.

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Mon 29 Jun 2009, 13:38, archived)
it's harder to suck through a HEPA filter than paper bag, by a mile*



*a mile being the official measure of vacuum inefficiency, obviously

high efficiency particulate air filter.
They are what we've used in the pharma and biotech industries for years for clean room air handling, till some bright spark decided to put them in a domestic vacuum cleaner. Yes, James Dyson, you again. Now everyone does it.

They are completely pointless in that role, save for almost certainly upping the rate of childhood asthma, and they cost a lot to replace, and block quite quickly. and have very small pores so restrict flow. Take them out, put a normal filter in, bosh, better cleaning.
