Dyson Cinetic™ Science = Dyson’s latest technology for 2015. What makes this technology different is that Dyson uses special rubber tips on the end of each cyclone which oscillate 5,000 times a second to filter out fine dust particles, and eliminate the filter. So the Cinetic vacuums require no filter cleaning or replacement, nothing to clog, as a filter is not needed. Root Cyclone™ = Root Cyclone™ technology uses powerful centrifugal forces to separate dust from the air. New Dyson cylinder machines have three distinct stages of cyclonic separation – each engineered to capture smaller and smaller particles. Radial Root Cyclone™ = Radial Root Cyclone™ is the latest Dyson Cyclone technology , where airflows maximize suction power. These refinements can help remove more dust, pet hair, and allergens. Lifetime HEPA Filter = Most Dyson Vacuums have a HEPA filter. Dyson Cordless Vacuum = Dyson cordless vacuums have more suction power than the competition. Radial Root Cyclone™ keeps the filter clean, unlike the competition which can have dust and dirt caked on and must be cleaned regularly.

The latest 2015-2016 V6 and V8 Animal Cordless Vacuums have as much suction power as the leading corded uprights, yet weighs less than 5 pounds. There is no difference in suction between all of the 2015-2016 V6 models, only the floor tools and accessories they include. The V8 model has more suction and more brush power than the V6 models. Dust Ejection System = The new 2016 cordless Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum is the first Dyson with a dust ejection system, that in one step, empties the bin, and cleans the screens and bin at the same time. This is the best dust ejection system on the market. Which Dyson Cordless has the longest battery life? = The new 2016 cordless Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum is Dyson’s best cordless vac. It has the longest battery life of any Dyson cordless at 40 minutes (less when using motorized tools). Pet Hair Vacuum = Although all dyson uprights and canisters will do a great job with pet hair, those that we call a pet hair vac have extra tools (like the mini turbo brush) to get rid of pet hair problems.

Dyson calls its pet hair vacuums, Dyson Animal vacuums. Suction Airwatts = Dyson has measured suction power in Airwatts (AW) and you can compare suction power by comparing the measured suction. Higher numbers indicate more suction. Extension Hose = All Dyson uprights and canisters have an extension hose, which allows you to vacuum not only the carpet or floor, but to vacuum upholstery, drapes, stairs, and walls.shark nv450 vacuum cleaner Mini Turbine Tool = The Dyson Cinetic (Animal and Animal+Allergy), Dyson DC65 (Animal and Animal Complete), the DC39 Animal (Canister), all include an air driven “Tangle Free” Mini Turbine Tool to vacuum upholstery, car seats, and other areas. miele s7 bolero s7580 upright vacuum cleanerThe new 2015-2016 Dyson Cinetic Animal+Allergy Upright, and the DC65 Animal Complete Upright includes the newly updated tangle-free turbine tool, that helps prevent hair, threads, pet hair and other hazards from tangling around the counter rotating brushes which is the main difference when you compare this to the previous versions.euroclean wet and dry vacuum cleaner demo video

Dyson Ball™ Technology = Dyson invented the Ball type of vacuum. The vacuum sits on the ball and is highly maneuverable around obstacles, much more so than a regular vacuum. The Dyson Cinetic “Big Ball” (Animal and Animal+Allergy), The Dyson DC65 (Animal and Animal Complete), and Multi-Floor vacuums have Dyson Ball™ technology. Extra Toolkit = The 2015-2016 Dyson Cinetic “Big Ball” Upright and the DC65 Animal Complete Vacuums include an extra toolkit and toolbag to combat dirt, dust, and pet hair. Gallon Bin = We list the gallon capacity of the bagless dust bin. The larger the bin, the more capacity and less number of times you will have to empty it while vacuuming. Pet Hair Removal = Dyson vacuums have strong suction and are ideal for pet hair removal. With an air or electric driven brush head, Dyson vacuums are also suitable to remove pet hair from carpets and rugs. Difference between Dyson DC65 models = What is the difference between the Dyson DC65 Animal Complete, Animal, and Multi-Floor?

The bodies of these vacuums are identical. The main differences are the color, and the accessories that come with them. The DC65 Animal and Animal Complete both come with the fantastic “Tangle Free” Mini Turbine Tool, and a soft dusting brush. The DC65 Animal Complete also comes with additional tools (Multi-Angle Tool (high reach cleaning), The Stiff Bristle Brush, and a tool bag for all your tools. The DC65 Multi-Floor only comes with the basic accessories that all DC65 vacuums come with (crevice/brush tool and the stair/upholstery tool).When I was a kid, I remember seeing commercials for Oreck vacuum cleaners on TV. David Oreck himself usually starred in the ads, and when he did, he'd always cheerfully proclaim the merits of his machine, the 8-pound Oreck XL. The XL had the look of a complete clunker, with an ugly, dated design that seemed like it hadn't been updated since 1963, when Oreck first started selling vacuums in Louisiana. All the same, there was just something endearing and perhaps infectious about Oreck's unapologetic confidence.

Sure enough, everyone I knew who used an Oreck XL swore by the thing.Fast forward twenty years or so to today, and you'll still see Orecks on the market (David Oreck, by the way, just celebrated his 90th birthday last month, and is still an active entrepreneur, lecturer, and philanthropist). You won't, however, see anything quite like the good ol' Oreck XL. It seems that somewhere between those TV commercials and the present day, the company finally caved in and decided to update its design -- which brings us to the new Oreck Touch. I was almost disappointed as I took the thing out of the box. Was this really an Oreck vacuum I was looking at? By the standards of the many Oreck loyalists out there, I'm happy to say that yes, this is most definitely an Oreck vacuum, the kind of vacuum you'll swear by. We put it through hours upon hours of tests, throwing everything from sawdust to Labradoodle hair at it, and in the end, we found that it was one of our top scoring vacuums, right up there with the most expensive, high-end models.

At a price of $399, the Oreck Touch isn't cheap, but as a high-quality appliance in a category with more variance than you might think, it still represents real value for consumers looking for a dependable, easy-to-use cleaning machine. Design and construction The Oreck Touch is a vacuum cleaner built for the 21st century, and if Oreck was late to the party in this regard, it's only helped it to make a big entrance. The minimalist, utilitarian design of fifty years ago is gone, replaced with something truly modern and elegant-looking. If there was an old chalkboard at the Oreck factory with the word "flourishes" boldly crossed out for all to see, it's been thrown out the windowThis is a vacuum with style to spare. The thick, pale blue bag is gone -- the Oreck Touch uses a sleek-looking translucent blue canister, instead. The handle isn't just a boring, industrial-looking loop of white plastic anymore -- it's a futuristic joystick buttressed by arcs of brushed steel. I hate when writers refer to appliances as "sexy," but I'm really struggling to not call this thing a sexy vacuum.

Thankfully, these design touches have a degree of functionality to them. The brush roll is housed in a body with stylish cutaways that actually allow you to immediately see if you've missed anything on the floor as you're cleaning. The great-looking canister is amazingly easy to take out, empty, and replace. And, of course, there's the fact that the Oreck Touch conveniently relocates the power switch, along with the brush roll button, to the tip of the handle, where they sit just beneath your thumb. From start to end, you could clean with this vacuum and never need to bend over once.The most noticeable function of the new design is how maneuverable the Oreck Touch is. The curves of the machine's body create a pivot point at the base, allowing you to turn the thing with a simple twist of the wrist, similar to how you would with a ball-based design, like Dyson vacuums use. The comfortable angle of the handle seems designed to make this kind of turning even easier -- it juts out in front of the vacuum, giving your wrist more leverage.

It's a subtle, surprisingly smart build, and I was struck with how much I enjoyed using it in comparison with other machines that we tested. It isn't without its minor imperfections, though. I wish that the hollow loops connecting the brush roll to the back wheels were a bit sturdier, since these are what you're supposed to step on in order to click the vacuum down out of its resting position. While we're at it, a dedicated button or latch for this function would have left me feeling much more comfortable. All in all, when it comes time to criticize the build, minor quibbles are the best I can come up with.One last design note: as Oreck vacuums go, the Oreck Touch is a heavyweight, weighing in at about 16 pounds. This isn't to say that it's noticeably heavy or difficult to lug around, but don't expect to see David Oreck lifting one with a single finger the way he used to do regularly while hocking the 8-pound Oreck XL.Performance So the Oreck Touch looks and feels great, but the real question is how well does it clean?

After all, it's going to spend most of its life stashed away in a closet. How... ugh... sexy it looks is a trivial concern next to knowing how much dirt it'll suck out of your carpets. For $399, you want a vacuum cleaner that's going to do the job, and do it well. So how does the Oreck stack up? Cheerios, 1 oz.

For our purposes, we used Cheerios (Fruity Cheerios, to be exact -- they photograph a little better against beige carpet and plus, they were on sale).Our goal was to see how well the vacuums could handle lightweight particulates of a significantly larger size than your average dust mote. What percentage of the cereal would each vacuum manage to pick up? Would the cereal fit underneath the vacuum, or would it just get shoveled around? Would the vacuum grind it up and leave multicolored dust littered across the carpet?
