Re: Dysons
Can you imagine how many dyson dealers there are in Gda, that'll be zero... If it goes wrong during its 5 year warrranty,or actually to bring it over, originally its easy to stuff into a case unlike just about any other vacuum i could think of. (Its a year old and perfect so far.)
I also have great respect for the bladeless fans, i have a few big ones used overnight. Very efficient and quieter than any bladed device.

Re: Dysons
Never used one, and I can see how it might be quieter, but I don't see how they can be better than a "bladed device" as they have blades, do they not?

Re: Dysons
You seem to find life terribly bothersome. 
We have a Dyson, full size, we've had it about ten years. It still works great, and isn't the least bit "bothersome", except on the stairs, so I might look into getting one of those small ones myself.
We found the Dyson to be the same too. When we first bought it we ran it over our carpets three times and it continued to pull from the carpets and collect in the canister a pale grey paste-like dust that our previous vacuum cleaner had not been removing. 
The Dyson also completely strips pet hair from carpet, which no other vacuum cleaner I have ever used was able to do.

Re: Dysons
Compare like this. A dyson fan is an airbus a380 and a bladed fan is a 747, tuned cavity space in the turbine absorbs most of the noise leaving a quiet swishing, with no helicopter thrumming you get from blades. Also much safer for little fingers of course.

Re: Dysons
The turbine is in the base, the hivh velocity but low volume combines with still air in the bladeless circle, which is really an aerofoil section, to more efficiently push out air in volume.
All i can say is that apart from the lack of noise, on full power its about 1/3 of the power consumption of my previous helicopter.

Miele S8320 Cat & Dog | Vacuum Cleaners | TrustedReviews
"Frankly, the S8320 is another outstanding product from Miele. It is a vacuum cleaner that sets out with a purpose, pet hairs, and executes that with efficiency and flair. Yet its high power, control, flexibility, light weight and great range of tools make it a fabulous all-round vacuum cleaner for any home, with or without furry friends. "
Blows anything from crappy Dyson out of the water.

Re: Dysons
I have a Dyson. suction/cleaning ability is way better than any other hoover ive ever owned (incl Miele and Hoover ) or used. Its just heavy. My entire ground floor bar one room - is hard floors of one sort or another and its my stairs that get more dirty than anywhere - so that is the area im specifically looking for an improvement.
The Upright dyson i have now cleans it fine - its just heavy and somewhat difficult to balance on staircases - so i specifically wanted to know if the model 'types' i showed above would likely be a better bet. I have several small dust busters already of various brands over the years and to be honest - i could suck more dirt up myself with a straw.
so are the models above the same kind of cleaning power but lighter/more easy to handle on stairs - because if so that will be perfect.

Re: Dysons
Wrong, i have a miele vacuum in london. Great device, but useless in a country where you cant get the bags and importing costsalot and there is no spare part system. The dyson is just right for my tiled floors in the caribbean.

Re: Dysons
Fridges, tumble dryers etc, I never see the value in paying their prices for. But washing machines, vacuum's, oven's etc, I definitely do.

Re: Dysons
Im going to live in my miele washing machine if im in london when america starts world war 3. Absolutely indestructable, but in the caribbean it has effectively a zero warranty. There i have a whirlpool us machine that actually lives outside under a carport, but seems to be happy enough 6 years down the line.

Re: Dysons
when i empty the Dyson - i hold it over the trash or inside a bag and dont have a big issue. When i had the Miele in the uk - i had to take the collector bag out of the machine - with only a small card tab to cover the open hole - so that wasnt sealed tight and dust could still escape.
so that isnt an issue for me between the two.
I never got particularly good results with the Miele - it was adequate but never awesome. Like Mr P says - i can see the crud being picked up by the dyson (when i even think the carpets are clean already) and it does a a great job.

Re: Dysons
The Caribbean doesn't have Miele available? Man, that would suck (literally). I know here in the US Miele charges a huge premium, that makes their UK prices look reasonable, but they are worth it for a lot of their goods.
