I find their stick vacuums are complete junk. I'll never buy a Dyson again. They get clogged almost every time you use them (you gotta either jam a butter knife down the main intake or take apart the filter, both susceptible to blockage). The max button gets stuck in the on position, the battery only lasts a few months. I don't understand the appeal at all.
- blitzar 5y agoThe max button is like the old turbo button for your computer. Does anyone really use 'slow' mode?
- smeyer 5y agoWhat type of floor do you and others complaining in the thread have? I own one, and almost never use the "max" setting. I have hardwood floors and a hardwood floor-specific head for the vacuum, so I'm wondering if all the negative experiences are coming from folks with carpet.
- blitzar 5y agoCarpet, and rugs; hardwood floors get hand polished in my house, we are not savages.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI use max for carpet, weak mode for hardwood. Doesn't take a lot to pick things up off a hard surface, but running the carpet beater off air suction needs a lot more oomph.
- city41 5y agoSlow mode would increase the battery life from 5 to 10 minutes though.
- blitzar 5y agoIt also reduces suction, thus requiring 20 minutes to do the 5 minutes of vaccuming.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoTurbo mode kills the battery faster and stresses the battery harder.
- blitzar 5y agoSo basically when I push that 'max' button I am overclocking my dyson. Walking the glorious tightrope between a performance boost and molten mess of silicon. Cleaning day just got a whole lot more fun.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI guess I've had better luck. It doesn't clog for me (but it does suck up so much fur from apparently clean carpet that it fills the basket fairly quick). My only real complaint is that the charging base is flimsy. I haven't broken it yet, but that's because I'm fairly careful with it because it looks so fragile.
