This video is a “just for fun” video, everyone who knows me on youtube and elsewhere knows my opinion of Dysons… Anyway, I pitch the Dyson against my Kirby Tradition, both are bagless (the Tradition being fitted with a Shake-out bag), both have 2 handfuls of shredded paper and both have an equal playing field, so, which does the best? Well, watch and see… 😉
You and me both, I can’t wait to get rid of the DC-04, a motor fire would do the job nicely… 😛
pu the kirdy on the high setting!!!
That would be “Hose mode”, which as the name suggests is for use with the hose, the only thing is, for some reason UK Kirbys, from Classic Omega to the Tradition, were Single-speed, so it is actually running at top speed in the video… 🙂
i got that exact same dyson dc04!
mine works perfect and i only had it for 6 years.
I wish I had enough money to kick a dyson around.
The dyson is better if you fix it
It’s not you know, they Dyson can not out perform a Kirby, ever… 🙂
And fixing it would take a miracle, most of it’s probably been melted doen by now… 😛
Problem with a kirby that it is too big and I live in a small cottage and I suffer allergys and it’s American. Dyson is a British Hoover and HEPA filter and dosent cost anything
I live in a small hose but I still use it!!! And as for allergies, I have an HEPA setup for it too, which works better than the Dyson one does, and the cost of my Tradition in total (modifications, bags, fans etc.) has been less, that’s right, LESS than a brand new Dyson… 🙂
As for being American, yes, that’s true, it’s also 28 years old, the British (but made across the globe in China!!!) Dyson about 5 or 6 and it was falling apart at the seams…
I know which I would prefer to have… 😉
is the dyson in this vid the one you smashed
Yep… 🙂
Before killing it, the thing sounded worse than an air-raid siren (the squelch on my camcorder’s microphone doesn’t give you the full loudness of it!!!), so, I killed it off, think of it as a mercy killing… 😛
do you still have the dyson dc04 to smash?
Nope, I stripped it and threw most of it out in the recycling after I killed it’s motor, so it’s gone…
I AGREEE THANK YOU
And air raid sirens sound awful
I have a g4 and ultimate g and I think my grandma has a classic 3 she does not use it because it isto heavey for her but I love my kirbies put a dyson up against my ultimate its 4-5 years old it would woop its ass and the dyson does not shampoo carpets.
we had a dyson DC03 & floor selector went 2 year l8r, after tht said never having a dyson again, altho dyson clean carpets better coz no bags/filters to clog, its made of cheap plastic so breaks easily, now we have VAX Swift that 6 years old & still like brand new, kirbys r gd bt heavy & they use last gen technology, cyclonic has replaced bag and filter technology, therefore cleaner than bagged, yeah u empty bin more but better than hoovering with clogged kirby leaving hidden dirt behind
I’ve never had a Kirby clog up on me when using their latest polypropylene filter bags, and the great thing about a bagged vacuum, when you change the bag, you change the filter, bagless technology still has a way to go cos when you empty the bin, you don’t clean the filter, and that gradually ends up clogged, so go figure… :\
The reason why Kirby haven’t changed is cos they know that changing what works is a bad idea, if you continually change things, it stops working… 🙂
yeah i’ve done that before with a dc07 sucking up a pile of grit with the brushes and the stinking dyson clogged up.
that seemed awful.
Kirby is the Harley Davidson of vacuums!
this was a BS test, about as usefull as a chocolate teapot
I love how he just kicks the dyson over… I’ll have to start using that one in demos
Looks like the 30 year old Kirby wins!
