What type of plastic is any dyson upright vacuum cleaner made up of?
Question:please send a website link. if not an answer would do find
Answers:
Polycarbonate and ABS. I saw this video once on the dyson. It showed James Dyson in front of his dyson with a baseball bat and he hit it as hard as he could and something to like "See that is how strong it is." Of course it is possible to break the plastic but unlikely if it is going through regular use (no throwing it down stairs or dropping it on cement). If you are thinking about getting one I reccomend buying it from Mr. Vac and Mrs. Sew. They have the lowest price on the DC18 ($397.99), DC17 ($489) and DC21 ($449). I bought my Miele from them and it is the nicest shopping experience I have ever had. They also have free shipping and no tax (if you don't live in New York). Here is a link to thier site-

Made from ABS and polycarbonate, materials used to manufacture crash helmets, cars and pipelines.
the plastic is known as KLEVER.it is the same thing they make car bumpers out of. do not eat it, but you can chase the dog around the apt with it,have fun
I've worked with all the major name brand vacuum cleaner manufacturers (Bissel, Eureka, Oreck, etc...) and the pigmented plastics are almost always ABS while the clear surfaces are acrylic (cheaper models) or polycarbonate which is very hard and durable, and of course expensive. ABS is easy to mold and is relatively fracture resistant, good qualities for this application. It is not clear in color which is why it is normally found pigmented. Polycarb can be molded in a transparent color (ie. tinted lenses for motorcylces) but because of its cost, is rarely heavily pigmented to a solid color
All those fancy plastic manufacturing terms sound impressive, but I'm hear to tell you the Dyson's housings don't hold up like that of other manufacturers using ABS plastic. I've seen too many broken parts on those things. But Dyson has a lot of outrageous claims. Fact; Any vacuum can clog. There are filters to clean, and eventually you will have to replace them. There isn't a Bagless on the market that can out clean it's bagged counter part. They are made in Malaysia not England.
