This is misleading. You can bet that the folks at Dyson never expected
their vacuum to be used in a clay studio. These units are designed
household and office use. In a clay studio, the filters would fail very
quickly, and then you would be sending silica into your studio air. These
vacuums are completely unsuitable for studio use. I just want to make sure
that that's perfectly clear.
