I am a huge dyson fan however I have to say this, I vacuum at my work at a dentist office and for a vacuum that is specifically designed to be easy to push around it is really hard on your wrist and I dont really think its that much easier to maneuver with its weight.

@bwillwall The DC15 is the first of this type of cleaner and yes, it is a bit heavy to push around. Later models, like the DC23 and DC24 are somewhat lighter. Dyson has patents filed for a new 'ball' model that will likely be out in the near future. In this, the air ducting is shown to run inside 'the ball' which will perhaps make this cleaner lighter still.

@vacuumvideos It is one of the later ones and the air ducting is in the ball. Same story.

[vacuumvideos]

@bwillwall In the design shown for the new 'ball' vacuums, *all* the ducting runs through the ball - you don't have the existing inlet and outlet on each with or the support harness. Literally a single sphere, made up of two halves. Hopefully this'll make it somewhat lighter and easier to push around.

can it suck my dick?

[vacuumvideos]

@chansen89 No, it won't replace your mother in that department either.

Are you kidding? A Kirby? Garbage, old and heavy, and they way they sell them door to door is a complete joke. Their high pressure sales tactics, not leaving when told, crying because you didn't buy one, etc, should get them sued by state AG's.

"Use it completely differently" And yet it still won't fit under any furniture...

I genuinely think this was a brilliant idea! It wasa pain with my normal upright but now my DC24 is fab, with its ball. Also, very small and light for easy storage! Thanks for uploading :)

@MADDOG6400 go to a vac repair shop or authorized kirby service center and get a rebuilt one at less than 1/2 the cost.

heres what you do. take a sledge hammer thats like 50 pounds. and smash this plastic piece of shitt. dysons suck asss. go get a kirby. dysons look fancy but clog alot. and after awhile on the dc25 or the swivel action, after awhile it will hurt your wrist. i know customrs always complain abiut this. so smash it and be done with it.
