  • its james dyson and the dyson was not intended to suck up wet cat litter

  • So the dyson is priced at a ripoff, and failed 1 of 2 tests. Sounds about right....

  • john whoo??????????? its james you dimm wit.

  • its the cone for me

  • Are these guys THAT FUCKING STUPID!? Nobody is going to pick up a mountain of flour with a hand vac! They use a full size vac! Also, people would either sweep up wet kitty litter with a broom, or use a wet/dry vac! Fucking bias! Dyson is better than either hand vac!

  • i use my handheld (dyson) only for spills, would never use mine for anything like the amounts here! ITS JAMES!

  • come on guys flour, plaster dust and brick rubble will clogg the filter on any vacuum cleaner straight away causing total loss of suction. THESE TESTS THAT YOU HAVE CARRIED ARE SUPID. JAMES NOT JOHN WINGNUT!!!!!!!

  • They're not very good at baking, most of it is on the floor

  • it is james dyson. dyson rocks i dont black and decker.

  • Back and decker rocks.  dyson sucks. Kirbys rock.

  • Don't listen to this video!!! They don't understand the Dyson's place on the market it clearly stated on their website, on the box and FAQ's that this machine is intented for quick clean ups e.g accidental kitchen spills. That is the reason the Dyson has poor batter life.

  • who cares just buy all 3 :/

  • @ipwnr haha I have! :p the Dyson by JAMES Dyson is the best but F'ing expensive! :)

  • Id just like to point outcthe inventor or the dyson vacuum is infact british inventor james dyson not john dyson and his revolutionary idea came from a piece of equipment using the cyclone technology in saw mills!

  • LOL theyre vacuuming weed

  • My Vacuum WINS!

  • The title is somewhat misleading...

  • Who picks up kitty litter with vacuums?

  • @Pokemon7785 ME

  • hahahaha

    

  • Dyson=Crap

  • You should have used a different attachment with the dyson

  • JAMES!!!...dyson...

  • JAMES DYSON! Sir James Dyson. Not John you fucks!

  • It's JAMES Dyson.

  • Schade, dass ich noch nicht alt genug bin für so einen Staubsauger :D

  • This is ridiculous... I'm pretty sure the Dyson wasnt created to pick up kitty litter of all things. And who vacuums up kitty litter?! :s

  • John dyson? did you really just say that? It is james

  • @bwillwall proof that most americans are dumb =)

  • @GayBoyRunning I am an American and that was very offensive.

  • @bwillwall Oh bite me i dont care. Tho i am right that some americans can be very stupid in public spaces -_-

  • @GayBoyRunning Uh sorry "GayBoyRunning" if I am so stupid (as you say) but at least I am not a complete asshole, I was very polite when I said that was offensive but I guess your just too "stupid" to comprehend the concept of courtesy.

  • @bwillwall haha well thank you for the noticed as im not stupid tho i stick by my comments no matter what people say.

  • @bwillwall:

    Did you just call someone else stupid by saying "your just too"? That's the wrong your/you're... stupid.

  • @prokanda oh i gave you thumbs up for that!

  • @GayBoyRunning Seriously dude? You're an asshole.

  • @DeathByMurdero0o Why thank you :)

  • @GayBoyRunning You can't generalize Americans by some kid on the internet, you don't have to cut down an American kid to prove that you're smarter. I mean, wow.

  • @DeathByMurdero0o No not just cause of one person i blame the whole of the USA of its pure stupidity. This is one subject out of thousands of many other subjects that has been collected under a project called (information collection plan).

    Many people that are with the project collect information about other people on there behaviour & intelligence level's then combine all information there for puts a world total.

    So i apologise if offend you & USA.

  • @GayBoyRunning I don't mean to direct this comment at you personally but just to everyone out there that has to make a point about Americans. As an American, I don't hate anyone in the world, especially my fellow Americans. There are many steriotypes that are true in some locations but 90% of the steriotypes are true in all parts of the world. You will find the village idiot everywhere. The point I really want to make is, Don't talk shit about America for its citizens, do it for the politicians.

  • @GayBoyRunning And to further fortify what I said, about say, 70% of the younger people (0-30) living in America didn't chose to move to America or to be born there to begin with, so the anti-USA nonsense is even more, for lack of a better word, "cruel" when It's not our fault to begin with that we are associated with the country we are in that happens to not have very many things to be proud of.I lost much hope in the leaders/ politicians of America but my prayers go out to the citizens daily.

  • @Kokomokox No comment due not bothering

  • @GayBoyRunning I'm sure you don't bother... you aspergers never do... you are on the top of the world (well your world atleast). Unwarranted self-importance is the ultimate symptom of stupidity.

    But I'm sure your autist brain will tell you that I'm wrong and you are right.

    Why don't you go work on your conspiracy teories(I'm sure you have plenty) instead of insulting people on youtube?

  • @SISSachs You know people like you should becareful when they choose there word cause they can effect the person who is reading & that person just had a unfortunate heart wrenching pain of loosing not only the closest friend but also lost a relationship with the man i truly loved. So thank you for making my day feel much wost.

  • @GayBoyRunning

    You can't expect people to treat you well if you treat them like crap.

    I'm sorry for your friend and for making your day worse, but think that the person you treated as stupid a while back might have lost someone too, and maybe for you "stupid" isn´t really an insult, but for someone in grief (or whatever) ,beeing treated as stupid might seem the worst thing in the world.

  • @SISSachs Well to save this never ending war of words i want to say: I apologise to bwillwall, DeathByMurdero0o, Kokomokox, SISSachs for my remarks & my actions & the Host popmechshow for flooding there comment page full of remarks. Good Day. :)

  • DID HE JUST TOUCHED THE KITTY LITTER??? 2:59

  • .........JOHN DYSON XD (it's JAMES!)

  • how about sucking COARSE GRAIN SAND?!?!?

  • HAHAHA 03:25 poor dude miss said

  • It's definately James Dyson as I used to sell Dyson machines

  • I am looking for a hand held to vacuum up a hole per ASTM F2170. I'd like to see the Dewalt hand held shopvacs reviewed.

  • Pretty sure his name Is James Dyson there big guy o.O

  • Its James Dyson!

  • Who... honestly would use a hand vacuum to clean up that much flour?? All of these popular mechanics tests suck. Especially the blender test.

  • Who is John Dyson? Pretty sure he has nothing to do this hoover

  • @SirCipher He's called James Dyson, a Uk inventor.

  • @Ralphfridge1 That was my point

  • nobody should listen to this anymore, it is far too outdated, because dyson just released a new range of 4 different new handhelds that are much better

  • perhaps you need to clean the filter? just saying...

    the kone vacuum is an everyday vacuum cleaner, not the kind of heavy duty handheld to handle such a mess in one time...

  • Why is this a video!

  • john dyson?? james dyson...

  • Great test and review thank you,, please do an updated video, comparing today's vacuums

  • ive decided which one im buying

    NONE OF THEM !!

  • i have the B&D Kurv, it's good for sucking up cockroaches.

  • WTF I WANT MACHINEGUNS NOT YOUR MOTHER!

  • why is this in the gun catagory??????

  • what a waste of cocaine

  • 0:06 looks like some dank bud ahaa

  • wtf its not john dyson its James Dyson

  • the cone is not good

  • The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

  • @rollerscapes lol

    

  • when you get out from a fucked off college --> you make this kind of vids for youtube

  • but the question is "Will it BLend?"

  • Textbook nerd right there. ;)

  • Hey cool! I read your magazine. It's good to see you have a YouTube Presence. I'm subscribed and will start watching your stuff.

    I don't know why magazines like Popular Mechanics and Popular Science don't have their own TV Channel? Look at MTV. the 'Real World?' Really? Last time I watched MTV they had a cheerleader pooping and pucking into a bucket in the back of a van. Yeah, they're desperate.

    Keep up the good work.

  • FLOUR IS NOT DIRT

    it spesifically tells you in the dyson manual not to pick up exessive amounts of flour

  • @jaffacake1578 thats why its called abusive labs

  • Nose is probably a deal breaker for some of these. I have an 18v dirt devil like device (craftsman) and it's as loud as hell but it take rechargeable batteries, the same type you use in an electric drill. It was about $35 new, but of course you need the batteries. I think I'd use a honking big shopvac for the kitty little not some handheld device. But at twice the price I think the B&D probably is gonna get the vote but these buggers are loud.

  • And B&D triumphs again!

  • the cone looks pretty sweet!

  • how the hell did i end up watching this video? o_O"

  • @boyniao Welcome to YouTube.

  • @boyniao lol

  • @boyniao I was watch 50 cal then i saw this =)

  • @boyniao Best comment ever!! I was just thinking the same thing

  • @boyniao stumbleupon

  • lol - Trying to vacuum up wet litter? Get a dustpan and brush!

  • good test.

  • The Dyson root 6 is the best hand held vac I've ever owned, as for the Black & Decker it's not worth my purchase I've tried it in Wal Mart and it was very very loud that it actually hurt my ears.

  • He knows from the 100 comments that he said john! just shut up now, its just a name!!!

  • lol 1:40 "john dyson" this guy is a total idiot, it's james dyson!!!

  • Get your fucking facts straight; "JON" dyson?! You mean JAMES Dyson, jesus christ.

  • @FeeLtheHertZ lmao so true

  • and it is JAMES DYSON not JOHN DYSON

  • I swear...a dirt devil 103 or plus or ultra or whatever bagged hand vac from GOODWILL will kick ass

  • In my opinion, only an extemely LAZY RETARD would use a vacuum to suck up kitty litter (-_-).......

  • NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! i whanted the cone to win NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  • you pay for what you get

  • dyson rule you just need the tool kit and it is the best by a ong shot

  • There's several reasons why I got one, it's an upright, it swivel steers on a dime, it's quite, it never blows out shit like others, that funky dead rat smell others do, the best hose that actually extends 3 times further than others tried, It's easy to dump & clean rising it out, and yea, I like Dyson. I'd need two more now for the cabin & house being I have mine at the shop office, Monster Garage. The cool part, @ $200 off for older new ones, Yea baby.
  • Popular Mechanics used to be a worthy rag back in the day, now it's just jerks that don't have a clue.

    @2:31 proves the point I made earlier where they say it's still blowing out flower dust.

    You might want to at least clean the filter once after you packed it with flower. Real Quality review here.

    You can stop a Mack Truck coating it's air-filter with flower.

    Carpet fir,fuzz, can be packed and still breath, & it's what the filter is made of. Flower blocks any fiber.

  • Easy there snippy... it was a standard test and regardless if the filter clogged or not, the other 2 did not. so if you used the cone as the control the other 2 are greatly superior to it because of the filter. If they replaced to filters in the other 2 and not the cone i can see your frustration, however they all received the same tests.

  • Ill just take my good old workhorse 4 Horsepower 16 gallon shop vac any day of the week, I havent encounter a mess yet in 7 years I couldnt suck into or blow away from it!

  • try the swivel seweeper or the twister sweeper

  • Well done you worked out that the dyson dose what it says on the box. oh and is james dyson not (john) as you said at 1.39

  • wow they figured out which one 'sucks' the most

  • @isiah29sixteen Haha, what a pun

  • @isiah29sixteen i usually hate puns but that was cute (:

  • @isiah29sixteen *puts sunglasses*

  • This test is completely Fkd by complete idiots.

    They did show they know nothing about vacuums.

    During the empty process, did you notice they dump the container, but carefully leave the filter completely plugged with flower to purposely flaw the test?

    It's a Fkd process that's not even close to the Fkg truth.

    Lets go, I'll bet $1K right now they don't challenge me.

    I stop & expose the B/S in it's tracks.

  • @Philscbx SERIOUS BUSINESS IS SERIOUS

  • Thats the trouble, nothing here is serious.

    Repairing commercial over 30 yrs, we know who is serious. Dyson is the new serious.

    Granted, most people don't have to pick up a pile of flour, but leave 4 yr old kids in charge of breakfast, & 5lbs of pancake flour can be a laughing challenge even for an old Kirby, but it gets it done.

    Where it all fails, is how 99% of people deal with it afterwards.

    Look in any vac, & it's packed full & heavy, and then they whine, it doesn't work. lol

  • john ?

  • 2x expensive, 1/2 the battery life, 4x the lameness for Dyson.

  • Dyson just has pretty colors lmao boooo get a kirby

  • great conclusion ROFL

  • Must be the black and decker labs....

  • Funny you should say that u3, the DYSON is a piece of SHIT actually. I would be happy to do a demo video of my DYSON and my 18V pivot vac that I bought for FOURTY DOLLARS on ebay brand new. The 18v pivot DESTROYS the piece of shit dyson.

    My biggest regret??? Not seeing this video and buying the 18v pivot when I could still return the DYSON.

    The dyson clogs VERY bad from dog hair almost immediately.

    PIECE OF SHIT!

  • @ProductionDesignrMAX I've never experienced clogging in my dyson before my dear.

    idk, the design was meant to make the suction power efficient and clog free.

  • Dyson is junk....Just Total JUNK! When they first came out I went right over to it, turned it upside down and knew instantly it was simply garbage. Mr. Dyson has been laughing all the way to the bank ever since.

    Here's a piece of professional advice...Buy A good commercial vacuum. there are many good ones. And so many cost LESS than that junkbox Dyson. Common sense must prevail people.

  • The Black and Decker even looks cooler then either other vac.

  • dyson is the best

  • ace5550 is spreading more internet opinion based on nothing but stupidity and based on a price. ace, stfu if you dont know shit

  • i think the dyson stuff is overpriced crap for fancy fashion gadget nerds, too bad that the black and decker is also over 100 Euro in Germany

  • james not john

  • look the point i was trying to get across was that you said in your first comment "he did not invent cyclonic action filter Que.." and i could only think you were refering to the cyclonic action talked about in the vid, witch was james cyclon the 1 that was first used at saw mills. + im not going to argue with you any more you think what u think-and so will i......just lets stop arguing the toss on this guys vid...its not what commenting is for. its just spam!

  • You told me the other day to wacth the video because Dyson invented everthing, know your saying the VID is not correct and may have came from wikipedia.... you get an F on this one

  • Comment removed

  • Technology.

  • Who's John dyson? Isnt it james.

  • And u know that the dyson is only design 4 quick clean ups

  • his name is james dyson!!!!!!!!!

  • well who the hell sucks up 97 pounds of flour and kitty litter? shit

  • @atmospherechels88 it was 32 oz of flower and 12 oz of kitty liter

  • @atmospherechels88 it was a test?!?!

  • Wtf kinda question can you hook them up to sex toys?

  • Dyson did not invent the cyclonic technology; Filter queen has been was using it 40 years ago

  • Cyclonic action has been around since 1928, long before Dyson was even born, the first vacuums to use Cyclonic action were Filter Queen and Regina, and its very obvious you dont know what you are talking about, get your facts straight before you comment, thats why you did not do so well in school and have a lame job.

  • I see why you do so badly in school, I did look it up and you did not; you just got your information from a Dyson sales pitch. If you would spend a little more time on research instead of guessing you would not be in summer school right now.

  • Comment removed

  • You made a great point; you said in the video that it states that John Dyson invented the Cyclonic action, too bad the guy who owns Dyson vacuum cleaner company name is James Dyson

  • Theres no use talking to landroverkid1 . He beliveds everything he sees on TV. and he gets bad grades in school

  • Also, the plastic is QUITE cheap, and the machine has too many joints, thus not as good as the avg. $1500 Rainbow, Good machine, better means of filtering.

  • The main machine of my Mom's and my Rainbow D4s (23 and 15 years respectively) have not cracked, but plastic, of any type does brittle over the years. The Rainbow is made of LEXAN based plastic, and yes, with the number of years of use from both machines, they did crack at the back of the power nozzle. But the machines still work VERY well. I have heard more complaints about the cheap materials the Dyson is made from. Dyson: Innovative? Yes. Lasts more than ten years? No.

  • the kone is the best, i have it, and its NOT supposed to be used for any of tht crapp!!!!!!

  • neither are the other two. It doesn't hurt having a machine that can do more than is expected of it...

  • If you read carefully before getting all flappy, I said "HOUSE DUST and such" which includes pet hair, crumbs, and other small particles you'd find in a normal home. Not a massive pile of huge wet soggy chunks of piss-dripping cat litter which you use a paper towel for, or 9 bags of pre-sifted flour which you'd find in a large bakery, or an entire shredded newspaper as you see in other stupid 'tests'. You'd hand scoop most of that stuff then vacuum what's left. Oh and CLEARLY. :P

  • This is ridiculous and shows either deceit or complete idiocy on behalf of the people who I guarantee are not independent, educated scientists. It CLEARLY states on the box of the Dyson that it should NOT be used for this much flour, or anything wet, and its claims of power and effectiveness only apply to HOUSE DUST and such (i.e. what it would REALLY be used for). This test doesnt even begin to represent the typical use it is DESIGNED for. Totally meaningless and will convince only idiots.

  • Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?

  • haha

  • lol, that was a good one......
