Post-Purchase Truths

Dyson: What to watch for

  • Ergonomics

    Continuous trigger hold causes index finger and grip fatigue.

    You must hold down the power trigger continuously during the entire vacuum session. There is no on/off toggle lock on standard models.

  • Maintenance

    Emptying fine plaster or drywall dust can jam the silicone squeegee.

    Very fine powder can stick to the inner cyclonic shroud, requiring periodic disassembly and manual wiping.

Samsung: What to watch for

  • Hidden Cost

    Requires ongoing purchases of Clean Station disposal dust bags.

    While hygienic, the auto-empty clean station relies on proprietary sealed disposable bags that cost ~$35–$45 per year in recurring consumables.
