[@kiefervlogs394]

You know your video really helped me I actually thought these did not have filters and they had effective Cyclone until I watched your video

[@chrislee9066]

I know that cyclones are limited to removing larger particles, and have read studies stating that the limit is around 5 microns (smallest). The HEPA filters are needed to remove smaller stuff, so I entirely agree with what you've stated. Now, I know they've advertised as *not* needing filter replacement, hmm. Still, the Dyson had a much stronger vacuum than my previous home machines.

[@Ecksterphono]

Thing is as well. Once you start getting into the 2 tier and 3 tier cyclone systems. You sacrifice suction however gain finer dust particle coming out. Because now you have more cyclone restrictions and debris fields in those systems. However the finer the particles the more static cling. What Dyson needs to do is a reversal flow self cleaning setting for the cyclone canister. I wish there was a way to eliminate static cling inside the cyclone outside cavities. The cinetic oscillating tips are an OK idea which I call dynamic shakers to drop the particulate out, however they need to be directed in a way that they go directly into the bottom of the bin. Or Dyson should have a maintenance program where every 6 months to a year during and after the warranty period if heavily used have the cyclone canister taken apart and thoroughly cleaned and all filters checked. That way it may alleviate constantly replacing the filters.

[@mkh878]

i am in Australia and service/salvage broken Dyson's to fix and have fixed 40-50 machines. from the DC08 to the DC54 (cylinder type) which is popular in Australia. And you are right! the dust passes through the cyclone and clogs the HEPA filter, overheats the motor and kills the carbon brushes. Dyson Australia has repeatedly refused to answer questions about how or why its happening and their advertisements claim no filters to replace which is completely false. the HEPA filters should be replaced yearly or once every 2 years depending on how often its used.

I hate this vacuum. I had a Dyson D17 Animal and loved that machine! But after a little over 5 year the brush starting making a terrible noise and I tried a belt and new brush and didn’t fix it. I thought I would “upgrade” to the Big Ball Cinetic about 5 years ago and it’s terrible. It is weak sauce. And because it doesn’t have a pre motor filter you can’t get the smell out of the machine. With the D17 I never had unpleasant odors. Don’t buy a Cinetic. They are cheap, weak, stinky, and total waste of money. I got a Rainbow E2 Black, right before they changed to the SRX, and I love it! It’s a lot to setup and teardown but it works fantastic and smells amazing with the scented oils in the water.

[@samdavid22]

Thanks for time taken to show us . I all ways find Dyson's only lasting less than 10 years . I wonder why? So there is two filters to be change , Not just the one filter as Dyson says and Dyson says to wash this one filter a few times a year , My old Nilfisk is 20 years and still going and other barrel vac had in the distant past last like the Nilfisk has lasted and picks up the dirt well .

[@Edbrad]

Dyson Cinetic is clearly not built to last, judging from their marketing. Otherwise they would have to say that there was a filter to clean,. Some Dyson fans seem to think it's possible it's HEPA filter work as intended and catch all the dust and whatever else but then like magic NEVER needs changing or cleaning. Well anyway, the point is if Dyson says it doesn't have any filters that need cleaning or changing then they must either be saying they have some kind self cleaning filter for their filter or they're actually saying it's true so long as you don't use it more than this much for this long for this purpose. But you know that doesn't sound half as snappy to a marketing dept as NO FILTERS TO CLEAN, which as so often is the case decided to market a product they wish they had rather than what they actually had.

I only looked for this video because we have a dog and the smell is starting to come through as I use it. I will gladly pay for 2 filters. This unit has minimal maintenance and I see no problem with it. I will buy another one whenever it dies

[@finetricycles4579]

If you have the up14, it states all over the box etc it never requires to wash, change etc the filters. With that said, why would you want to pay for new filters if it was false advertising? I doubt you will get the pet smell out with new filters, I would recommend renting a Rug Doctor to clean the carpet and scream at Dyson!

[@nickb5091]

Other than the two post filters on the sides of the ball, are there any pre-filters that can be replaced if torn down? I noticed the newer models like the animal three have a washable pre-filter that kind of seems like backwards technology to me if the cinetic ball upright version that I have actually doesn’t have a pre-filter?

Dayum only 5 microns? That's literally paper bag filtration level lol. The reputation for bagged vacuums that clogged up and didn't filter well needs to die since that was back when paper bags were the only option. Synthetic hepa bags are a completely different ball game.

[@zodiacfml]

if 5 microns and paper bag filtration mentioned is accurate then that's exactly what Dyson engineered for and what you see here. Instead of paper bags thrown out every week, one simply needs replacement of the HEPA filter occasionally, as he said, 6 months to a year.

you are correct Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Upright Cleaner doesn't have a maintenance filters. it will restrict air flow and lose suction. the issue of the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Upright Cleaner is the filters were clogged tap it you can see dust flying out of it and it needs to be changed. I have Dyson Ball Upright Cleaner. it has maintenace filters I wash it 3 months so I let it dry on 24 hours when it's completely dry. I put the lifetime hepa filters back to the cleaner machine successful. good to go. (^_^)

[@DemetriLoizou]

To be fair, it is mostly carbon dust from the motor. Unless they use a digital motor (which they did in a vacuum for flats, rather unsuccessfully) carbon dust is inevitable. I think its a decent performance personally. Thanks for a great video!

[@PerformanceReviews]

See my other videos on the subject more than 50% of the dust and debris going into there is stuff that bypassed the cyclone which only traps dust down to 5 microns.

[@Dirty_Bear22]

Performance Reviews to be fair the standard Dyson pre filters were about 5 microns if I removed correctly. The few cases of plugged up Cinetic Dyson’s are probably caused by consumer misuse from over filling them. Lots of people tend to fill Dyson bins until the entire cyclone shroud is covered, when the shroud is covered with debris the air flow and air speed in the cyclones is severely impacted thus causing reduced dust rejection efficiency which can severely reduce life. The takeaway is that it’s extremely important to keep the cyclone shroud clean and emptying the bin at or before before reaching the max line, especially on Cinetic Dyson.

[@vacuumtests9225]

@@Dirty_Bear22 Few cases! They all let a lot of fine dust to the motor. And huge problem with the cyclone systems is that they limit airflow A LOT. That is why bagged vacuums are far more powerful.

[@Dirty_Bear22]

@@vacuumtests9225 ultimately cinetic dyson vacs were to finicky and production was stopped. The small sample of 5-6 cinetic dyson vacuums I seen only had a light coating for dust in the motor area, and mostly carbon dust on the filters. But factors like dust composition and how full they are allowed get will definitely affect the severity of dirt load internally.

[@hamzahassan7730]

Wow. I like Dyson vacuums but this model is probably not the best of the dysons. I am not surprised there is a hepa filter. Idk if you know this but the motor has graphite in it and when the motor spins, the graphite gets shredded into fine particles and that needs to be filtered out. Honestly, Dyson should have admitted there is a hepa filter and made it replaceable. Its a good thing these pieces of crap are discontinued. Bring back the older models like the DC14, DC17 and the DC25! Another thing I like better about older dysons is the pedal to recline the machine. It prevents accidental reclining. I don’t collect vacuums but I currently own my family’s old DC14 and a DC24 i got from goodwill. And my family has a UP13 which works great.
