DYSON ANIMAL BALLS | It blows!

Our beloved family vacuum went from suck to blow. The replacement Dyson Animal Big Ball is expensive and also, very pricey. In addition to being costly, it's also ugly and shoddily engineered with flimsy switches. Early Access! / ave

[@dominicdelprincipe2583]

There's something to be said for the sheer confidence displayed by the fact that AvE is able to nearly completely disassemble a presumably 'non-customer-serviceable' device, point out its flaws and various pertinent features, and return said device to working order. All while keeping up a near-incomprehensible flow of Canadian slang-patter that, against all odds, turns out to be funny and oddly enlightening. Kudos, AvE!

Being Canadian and at not a great distance ( as distances go on the left coast ) from the author, I find his slang-patter most coherent and eloquent - albeit bordering on overly formal.

[@DSCircleJockey]

The air bypass valve is used because it's a flow-through vacuum motor which does not have a cooling fan. In a flow-through motor the the vacuumed air is directed through the motor for cooling. When you block the vacuum airflow the actual load on the motor drops and the motor spins faster because the impeller is stalled but you have also eliminated the motor cooling.The bypass valve allows some cooling air to flow through the motor even if the vacuum air flow is blocked.

[@vito7056]

thank you

[@sumfoo1]

Not to mention that style compressor just like the turbo he compared the bypass valve to will have a surge limit and the surge of the compressor could be strong enough to be destructive to a plastic compressor, not to mention it could occur at an rpm that may be destructive to both impeller and motor.

[@JimBob-rr9hc]

And all that for a company that gets their rocks off by saying their vacuums don't lose suction.

[@nizzesbizzbuzz4074]

Another function of having a bypasse valve before any of the dirt separation would be that in the event of hose blockages the by pass can open allowing suction on the stuck obstruction to decrease allowing the mass to loosen and separate down to a less dense more manageable size that if spread out enough it will let air to start bringing the material from front of the blockage and in a sense get a fresh bite on pulling the rest through otherwise the blockage would of only blocked airflow and only made the pluge denser so it's actually a benefit to the system hard to put in concept other then it's basically the same idea as using your hand to plug the front of a hose when plugged to ramp up the suction and letting it all lose at once to clear the air way but on the Dyson does that automatically n. By the way great idea stretching the spring does wonders on the physics of this effect. Thanks for the great vijeaos I always learn loads appreciated

[@Tagawichin]

I second that, and it blasts the fine dander out of the microfiber upholstery. The static cling on the plastic is stonger than the suck, so you know its working as the crud builds up.

[@cptbfrank]

The reason for the relief valve is so when the hose gets clogged it still has some air flow so it doesnt overheat. Most vacs when they are clogged auto shutdown when they get too hot. That thing keeps it cool so it doesnt overheat. However its also going to be a pain in the cunning linguals to clear a clog since the vac loses its oomph.

[@ryan_layne]

Yup. That's the one. They are supposed to open at near full clog. You know when you put your hand on the end and a split second later the sound changes and gets louder? That's the valve opening at full clog. In practice the only time this happens is when you suck up your couch pillow or something like that.

[@swandonovan]

i don't know vacuums well, but that was my first thought. seemed like common sense?

the vaccum brake helps keep the motor cool. it uses all the air flow to cool the motor so if you plug it up or the filter will not flow enough air anymore you dont have a few hundred watt heater inside a plastic ball.

It's main purpose is to stop the motor from over speeding. When there is no airflow the heat gain is minimal due to reduced current, but the risk is the armature can trow it's windings or commutator with effectively unloaded free running.

Hey AVE, Once a vacuum salesman came to my door. He said his vac was higher performing than the one I had, (an old Kirby). He was sooo surprised when I pulled out a gas meter, as like found on the house to measure cubic feet of natural gas from the utility company (big grey thing). Well I put his rig a sucking to it for one minute and noted the cubic feed of air that had passed. Then I did the same suck to test with my old Kirby. The salesman was astounded to see that the old Kirby was a better mother sucker than his mother chucker. He had no choice other than to concede defeat, and I wished him a good day sir. He left shaking his head, never having known the challenge he would endure and emerge from, licking his woulds from this dethronement.

[@DDSPL15]

The bypass valve is to pass a UL 1017 test where the inlet to the vacuum is sealed off for several hours until an “ultimate result” occurs (ie death & destruction), or it gracefully keeps running until the test duration is complete. It’s far easier / cheaper to just leak cooling air for this test, than to design the cheap thermoplastic enclosure & copper clad aluminum winding motor to fail safely in a consistent manner, & FAR more cost effective than the auto-resetting thermal fuses that have their own design challenges to prevent nuisance tripping. And the BS about it preventing drapes & dicks from being sucked in is BS; every manufacturer would love to get rid of the bypass valve & wants the highest amount of peak suction at the end of the hose, especially in Europe where “Air Power” numbers are apart of the marketing figures, which bypass valves often negatively impact if designed cheaply. This valve is only actuated when the suction side of the vacuum is blocked, well at least that’s the way Dyson tunes them (their large piston w/ only a small piston area exposed to atmospheric pressure causes a “hysteresis effect” that requires a lot of suction pressure to actuate the valve, but not very much to keep it wide open, thus maximizing air power performance AND safety). Other manufacturers are FAR less competent / cheap in their engineering design, as well as engineering ethics, so these valves are confusedly designed to behave in a linear fashion & always leak a little bit even during normal operation, or they use a literal hole to leak all the time to pass the UL “Blocked Inlet” test, among other nefarious things & closed door consensus based decisions that I can’t go into detail with due to legal agreements... Will probably find a pretentious letter taped to my door next week... ;) If you think that Dyson is a POS, you should take a look at the absolute pure crap being sold by the other brands! Dyson has far better design & manufacturing quality than the rest, & non-intuitively do stand up to hard / abusive reliability & durability testing quite well in the complex linkage BS they often use; however, they are way overpriced, because quite literally everyone else is selling modularized cost reduced garbage made in a few factories in the Guangdong Province of China... Shark / Europro is pretty much the only exception besides Dyson regarding design & manufacturing quality, even though they also employ manufacture in these same ‘white good’ factories, albeit on a different floor. Miele is also quite nice regarding design robustness, but even more overpriced & poorer performing than the mainstream brands. If you want a vacuum that doesn’t spew a bunch of sub-micronized dust-mite poop & dead skin into the air, Dyson & Shark are your two best options by a light year, w/ Dyson being superior. Now I’m definitely getting a letter taped to my door! ;)

[@kbraby]

With a shop vac, the cooling airflow is usually separate from the cleaning path, so blocked inlet is both less load, and more cooling air as the RPM goes up. Residential vacs use the cleaning airflow to cool the motor. If airflow goes to zero, even though the load goes down, the cooling airflow can go to zero. Not a good mix.

[@5000rgb]

Right. This is also why drills recommend that if you are going slow on steel to pull the drill out and rev it free to move some air over the motor.

The bypass vacuum valve (poppet valve) is provided to facilitate cooling airflow for the motor in the event the main vacuum airflow is blocked for any reason.

[@scotshabalam2432]

That valve makes it cheaper for the motor to comply with it's wattage rating. That motor is wattage regulated by air resistance and the motor is designed to a minimum wattage to save money(more wattage means thicker copper winding and more copper), if the motor over spins from lack of air resistance more wattage will flow over-heating the copper winding or popping a circuit breaker. It probably also helps it pass national compliances mandates for the motor's approved wattage use.

[@bigdorkification]

scot shabalam i thought it were just for cooling incase the intake were to be blocked. Good to know though

[@johnseiler8614]

I bet its cooling too. These things cool by air circulation through them. when things plug up, the air heats up and the motor dies. This is a common failure mode with cheap shop vacs. Fein shop vacs have external motor cooling and can run forever with the intake clogged. Just a guess though.

[@scotshabalam2432]

Rigid Stainless shop vac had it for years. Got it on sale for $100.

[@alpurl]

Just now seeing this video July 2020. In my experience, vacuum cleaners rely on the airflow they draw to keep the motor assembly cool. If the intake gets clogged (which happens frequently in my home), then it cannot get the airflow it needs to keep cool. By including a relief valve to allow air intake, you can maintain enough airflow to keep the motor cool in the event of a clogged hose.

[@landonclark212]

[@HERPDEDERP49]

AVE if i may be of some help to your question at 10:54 . most likely the reason behind the valve is to prevent the turbine blades from rotating too quickly. i learned this when i was younger by having a small air compressor for blowing up pool toys. it had the same setup and i noticed that when i covered the holes with my finger, the turbine blew up inside the housing. I think the airflow puts just enough friction on the blades to keep them from centrifugally destroying themselves.

[@TH3C001]

I agree. Pretty much anything built to move air (fans) will move much faster than designed when you remove the resistance that air provides. I've measured fan speed on my laptops cooling fan and when I covered the intake the speed increased from 3,000 to 4,000 rpm and you could hear the change as well.

[@hakare4]

I have a guess that the motor need some air for cooling as well!

[@jerrodkeating7700]

I agree, the motor is cooled by the working air. If there's a blockage in the airflow caused by an obstruction that goes unnoticed for any length of time, the bypass valve still allows some air through the motor for cooling.

[@ntdude4]

I bought two Dyson vacs when I lived in the UK. They were amazing. Moved back to the states and didn't think twice about getting one here. I was about as disappointed as in this video. Mine wouldn't pick up Labrador dog hair on the first pass. I needed to go over an area at least twice. Since I knew the Dysons in England did a fantastic job with the same dog hair from the same dog, I called tech support. I was floored when they told me the units made in the US had smaller motors than the UK counter parts because the American market was more interested in the way it looked, whereas the British market wanted an effective product. I actually did some research and had to buy something else to clean. Unfortunately I bought it online and couldn't return it. It sits next to my dryer to clean the lint trap. Wish I seen this video about 10 years ago.

[@werk62]

ntdude4 I've had good luck with Hoover products. They do what you need them to for a third of the price.

[@vmill1516]

Thanks. I did some research and fumy as it sounds there was a kenmore something or other that was high rated and a decent price. Its been working great ever since. Thanks again for the suggestion.

[@Howtard]

That's actually really interesting information. Noted!

[@tookitogo]

ntdude4 Interesting that tech support told you that, given that they sell the same models in Europe and USA, other than also selling the upright model in USA.

[@Milkmans_Son]

It's not the market they were made for, it's when they were made (the decline was inevitable).

[@snipehunter795]

I have seen a $50 Bissell out perform a $500 Dyson. That same Bissell has went through a few belts, but it still works great. The Dyson is in a landfill in Tennessee.

[@calitri76]

The poppet valve I believe is in place in case of a clog in the system. I figure to prevent damage to the motor.

[@davidvickers8425]

To clear the blockage before it fills the whole hose

[@Donnerwamp]

I loved that intro, but as a German I have to correct you. The right way to start your video would be "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, willkommen zurück in der Werkstatt. Hier haben wir 'Sir James praller Hoden'!" Instead of "praller Hoden" you could also say "mächtige Klöten" or "dicke Eier". But that "Fick dich Dyson!" was great. Props to you!

[@justinjj8767]

I love how we Germans are probably the only people to correct him on what he is saying instead of being happy our language is used. It was my first reaction too.

[@Donnerwamp]

I'm happy he used German, but I also think he should use it correctly. Another mastered skill is better than a half assed skill.

[@bloodyricho1]

I am thinking that the on off switch is enginerded to break before the filter clogs up.............?

[@OrigMaelstrom]

And then you take it back to the store and they hand you a new one, no questions asked. Certainly overpriced for all the marketing 'wank', but the built in disposable/replaceable appliance is accounted in there for those willing to march it back into the store (whether or no you agree with the disposable tech that runs rampant these days)

[@AuralVirus]

They have a negative designs department : dedicated to adding as many failure points as possible without the thing falling apart in the box. At this rate electronics will come with a Best Before date on them...

[@michaelpatrick6950]

Remember when these geniuses of marketing claimed hundreds of thousands of G's for their cyclonic separators. I did the calculations on them and sent them an email saying they were several orders of magnitude lower than claimed. They dropped that claim from their advertising. His venturi effect fans and heaters are another piece of marketing baloney. They claim they're fan-less but the fan is just hidden in the base. But I guess Dyson is probably rich making ignorant people think he's some engineering genius when in reality he's a snake oil salesman.

[@JZStudiosonline]

I think the marketing term for the fanless is obviously a misnomer, but the "idea" still stands as its advertised for being quiet and efficient without buffeting fan noise, which it does seem to do.

[@ClinttheGreat]

@Michael Patrick The marketing may be less than honest, but the early products were top notch. Friend of mine owns a janitorial company and almost all he uses are Earlier model Dysons. He said that he has tried all the other brands and they neither last as long, nor do as good a job.

You’re like the neighbor on Home Improvement. Can’t see your face never seen it, but full of wisdom and life advice

[@isaacfortner]

We have a 7 year old Dyson, and the chintz factor is off the charts, but somehow not a single thing has gone wrong with it. It's got all the same flimsy plastic linkages and such for the switches, but all of them still work fine, and we're not exactly gentle with the vacuum. It's really quite amazing to me. Ours has user-serviceable washable filters that come out very easily and are cleaned with a good water soak. I've had to cut threads and hair off the brushes, but that's it as far as service goes.

[@blakaeg]

Isaac Fortner If you have a 7 year old Dyson, this is likely to have a less complicated structure. The wheels on these Dysons break off very easily. Already seen 4 of these Big Ball cylinders with broken wheel shells within 6 months of launch.

[@dejan.]

I think they saved costs on the switches etc. as it’s not likely to be used that much so for a 10 year lifetime being pressed a few times each week for average user that flimsy mechanism should last. I’ve gotten broken parts on my dc54 but I blame my wife’s long hair that wrapped around the wheel bearing and took me a good half an hour to remove and ended up having to rip off the wheel and now it won’t click back on the same as before!

[@LaticreteHydroban]

[@jaylittleton1]

Regarding the relief valve, since this is intended to (also) groom animals, it is to prevent severe injury to said animal. For instance if somebody gets the plain hose with no safety-vented attachment up against the animal, body parts can get fuckulated very quickly. That much vacuum against an eyeball or a spink,,,, shpink,,,,,,,,, sfink,,,,,,, anus can do bad stuff. I felt really bad for mom-in-law, but I just couldn't stop laughing. RIP Shaggy Tom.

[@Mr_Jack_Shelby]

Jay Littleton that's not entirely true, the relief valve is there for a few reasons, 1 to cool the step down PCB in case of a blockage, 2 it is also there to slow the motor in the event of a blokage

[@jaylittleton1]

I stand corrected and thank you for your input. Cheers.

[@Mr_Jack_Shelby]

Your very welcome, it's confusing I know.

[@NextGenesis88]

So you’re actually with Dyson PR?

[@jaylittleton1]

I was merely going with my knowledge of a system specifically made for animal care & grooming that was built similar to a shop vacuum, which had a safety relief for what I described.

[@lonnarheaj]

I have repaired and replaced parts on both of our Dyson vacs, one older Ball Canister, and the ancient upright DC 7. The only part that has ever actually broken was half of a hinge on the clear plastic bin on the upright after being seriously abused for 20+ years by the entire family. I did replace the clutch on the old upright when the suction started to fade a bit, again, after 20+ years and a heck of a lot of very hard use, and after sucking up who knows how many pounds of silica laden cat litter dust. I did replace the internal filter too, but only because I had the thing completely gutted: the filter still looked new. I also replaced belts and seals on the old upright, only once, just because, plus a few assorted other parts that finally just started looking scratched and worn from years of abuse, but nothing was broken or nonfunctional. The quality of the plastic components was questioned: we had an expensive mostly metal vacuum that started to rust out after being sand blasted by cat litter for 8 years. The plastic handles mildly abrasive dust very well, although it will take on a satin appearance over time. These machines are built tough! I have also never wanted/needed a replacement part, no matter how small, that I couldn’t purchase and replace. Those switches, latches, etc. and axle hubs that you call “chintzie” have NEVER broken, cracked, warped, slipped out of place or needed replacement for any reason on our two vacs. BTW: If you “increase the suction” you may likely destroy the correct airflow velocity needed for the cyclone collection system to work properly, and you will likely burn out your motor PDQ too. They are designated ed to do what they do they way they need to do it. I would love to get a new Dyson vacuum, but I still like playing with ours; they both still seriously suck - in a very good way, and the darn things just won’t die. My only complaint: they are loud, but then so are almost every other AC powered vacuums. My husband is a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, and he has always been impressed with the way the Dyson vacs are constructed. I’m just a housewife that’s a nerdy girl with a high mechanical aptitude, and I love well built machines! 😁

[@thomass1620]

When I bought my dyson ball animal upright a few years back, I actually saw that model on the shelf & steered away from it... their uprights are built way more robust than their canister variants. Like the flimsy ball piece on that one is a metal screw on the upright... plus the warranty excellent, my brush roller gears broke, they quickly sent a whole new front end next day... 👍🏼
