Vacuum Cleaners Compare

Prior to June 1993 the world was a quiet, traditional, boring place. At least it was for vacuum cleaners. The introduction of the Dyson took other manufacturers by surprise and shook them out of their complacency. The world of vacuums was never going to be the same again.

Dyson is now a legendary company. Just about everybody’s knows the product and agrees that Dyson makes a top rated vacuum cleaner. It’s become a design icon. It’s considered to be a thing of beauty and owning one is considered ‘de rigueur’ in some circles. All this, for a vacuum cleaner? It’s not hard to understand when one takes a look at how things used to be.

Just about everyone owns a vacuum cleaner. Prior to Dyson, vacuuming was seen as one of the least liked chores. Most people didn’t even know what brand of vacuum cleaner they owned. James Dyson – the founder of Dyson – was probably no exception. But he had the exceptional ability to ask if a product we took for granted and despised could be made to work better. In 1978, while vacuuming his home, James Dyson realized his bag vacuum cleaner was constantly losing suction power. He noticed how dust quickly clogged the pores of the bag and blocked the airflow, so that suction dropped rapidly. He set to work and, five years later, the world’s first cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner arrived. He originally had offered his revolutionary centrifugal-force, bagless vacuum cleaner patent to the world’s leading vacuum cleaner manufacturers: they all turned him down. Not to be defeated, he began making the Dyson vacuum cleaner in a factory near to where he lived in England. In less than 2 years, Dyson was the UK’s best-selling vacuum.

The success of the Dyson has been replicated throughout the world. This success took the bigger, more established vacuum manufacturers by surprise. However, they’ve risen to the challenge. Most now offer their customers a bagless vacuum cleaner version. They also looked again at the suction power and found other ways to improve the cleaning power of their vacuums. Hoover claim that their new WindTunnel vacuum cleaner picks up 56% more dirt from a carpet than does Dyson. Elsewhere, Electrolux claim that their range of vacuum cleaners are as powerful as any Dyson vacuum cleaner but are much quieter.

Dyson also claimed that the filter used in traditional vacuums became clogged and led to a lack of suction power. However, the introduction of the HEPA filter has caused Dyson to rethink its design and to finally introduce a HEPA filter to their vacuum cleaners. Other manufacturers, of course, claimed that this was bound to compromise the cleaning power of a Dyson.

The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented by one James Dyson when he realized his vacuum bag was filling and clogging the suction effectively reducing its effectiveness. The newly designed vacuum cleaner had constant suction and expelled clean air. The vacuum cleaner uses centrifugal forces that effectively separate the air from the dirt. The spinning air creates a centrifuge effectively pushing the dirt out of the air which keeps the air flow unobstructed. This allows clean air to be returned to the room during your vacuuming unlike most vacuums. Not only does Dyson clean carpets it is also designed to clean all floors. The story goes that Mr. Dyson visited some of the major Vacuum cleaner manufacturers and none of them bought off on his innovative idea of a cyclonic and bag less vacuum cleaner. He ended up making his invention on his own and finally marketing it. Since then the Dyson vacuum cleaner has gained an international reputation.
