A Look at Dyson's Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner

!±8± A Look at Dyson's Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner

For many years our faithful Amway Vacuum Cleaner (one of their better products) an upright vacuum cleaner had kept our floors clean. There is no comparison between uprights and traditional vacuum cleaners. Uprights win hands down - better suction for longer. So their was no choice we wanted to replace the Amway but not at the high price of another Amway Cleaner.

Whilst out shopping we came across a Dyson Cyclone upright. The salesperson was very keen on the product. At first impression this purple plastic seems junkie. Not a huge fan of plastic given how much it can break and not a fan of weird colors the cleaner did not grab my wife or I at first. However we left it a day or two and came back for a second look at it. We made the sales person work hard for the sale, running the vacuum cleaner on the shop floor and having him show us the complete ins and out. Despite our original worries we brought it for 9 AUD. Yes expensive but not the most expensive one out there.

Upon using the Dyson for over a year now we are 100% happy with it. It does a great job at sucking up carpets and tiles, etc. Its easy to disassemble and wash the holder. Its bag less which means no need to go to the expense of buying bags. It has three attachments, nicely fitted into the vacuum cleaner itself.

You don't just have to use it as an upright. You can extend its long hose and vacuum in the more 'traditional' way. The special "cyclone" suction ensures you keep more suction for longer, although the suction will lessen if you don't clean out the filters, etc on a regular basis.

The floor vacuum has a brush control system which is probably the only annoying part to clean. You need a knife or large screwdriver to open the front brush and remove strings and other material that wraps around the brush. Dyson could improve the vacuum cleaner by making this task easier to do.

Overall I rate this product as a 9/10. The plastic is very hard and durable and the wife likes pinks and purples so I live with the color.

The Origin of the Universe and the Arrow of Time

Google Tech Talk August 13, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Sean Carroll. One of the most obvious facts about the universe is that the past is different from the future. We can remember yesterday, but not tomorrow; we can turn an egg into an omelet, but can't turn an omelet into an egg. That's the arrow of time, which is consistent throughout the observable universe. The arrow can be explained by assuming that the very early universe was extremely orderly, and disorder has been increasing ever since. But why did the universe start out so orderly? I will talk about the nature of time, the origin of entropy, and how what happened before the Big Bang may be responsible for the arrow of time we observe today. Speaker Info: Sean Carroll I'm a theoretical physicist at Caltech in sunny Pasadena, California. My research interests include theoretical aspects of cosmology, field theory, and gravitation. I want to learn about fundamental physics by studying the structure and evolution of the universe. These days I'm especially interested in inflation, the arrow of time, and what happened at or before the Big Bang. I've done a bunch of work on dark matter and dark energy, modified gravity, topological defects, extra dimensions, and violations of fundamental symmetries. I recently finished writing a popular-level book on cosmology and the arrow of time: From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time, which I expect all of you to buy. I previously wrote a graduate textbook ...

Miele S5 Callisto vs. Kenmore Progressive Canister Vacuums

In continuation of the GoVacuum video series, we have created a video review of two vacuum cleaners. We put to the test the Miele Callisto S5280 and the Kenmore Canister Vacuum. Our decision to put these two vacuums head to head stems from the Consumer Reports magazine. For years, the Consumer Reports magazine has rated the Kenmore Canister number one. The Miele has been ranked at 5 or 6. Having many, many years of industry experience, the Consumer Reports ranking has left us baffled because the Miele Callisto is one of our best canisters because of its high quality, unbeatable performance and long life. In order to compare the vacuums, we are performing three tests with the machines. First, the machines' filtration systems are being tested with the use of a laser particle scanner which calculates the number of particles being emitted from the exhaust filter on the canisters. Second, the machines are tested on their ability to side clean, meaning how well the machines' power heads can clean when against a wall or any other surface. Lastly, the machines are tested on their maneuverability. One of the things that people complain most about when considering canisters is how difficult they are to maneuver, especially when you have the feeling that you are dragging a dead weight behind you. All in all, the Miele Callisto definitely came out on top as the winner. But you will have to check out the video to see the results yourself. If you are looking to purchase a machine, or ...
