HARDSELL: This thread is about dyson not HOOVER and ORECK. Keep the three separate. Back to the subject of the thread. Dyson is not taking a $100 off its DC16 because they are selling well. Quite the opposite. The only thing they do well is get returned to the stores when the buyers/users realize that the run time is 5 minutes. I'm not surprised dyson added the run time to its Web Site, although in the past it was not mentioned. Pressure by the retailers who were getting these DC16-s back in high numbers, no doubt. If dyson can't solve the battery run time on a simple hand held vacuum and resorts to discounting them and eventually giving away, I have no confidence that dyson can design and produce a car that can run on batteries. None. But the news stories, if you can call them news, more like hype, give credence to having 450 engineers and 12 designers. Until you realize they are not gainfully employed and under utilized for improving current dyson products let alone working on new and uncertain future ones. Completely unrelated to vacuums. Now settle down and relax. Have a cup of joe and chill. Carmine D.

I think I will sit on my Carmine for a while. Good. I hope it helps you think more clearly and correctly. It does for me. Happy to help.

Like you Dusty, I tossed it out for argument's sake. Have to admit, it sounds like is a pretty good argument. Got your attention and raised your curiosity. For all I know the dyson illustrations and directions played a role, even if small, in the cert. Or done by dyson to get the cert. You don't know for a fact anymore than I do. Were you there? Getting back to my original request in my post to you: I asked whether the Asthma and Allergy Foundation charged fees for its service to stay in business. Apparently, you still don't know whether it does or not but were anxious to cite it anyway. [For argument's sake]. While condemning CRI's cert as biased for accepting fees. Double standard, my good fellow. Hey what's a double standard when you are making a profit selling dysons. Right? Where one stands oftentimes depends on where they sit. Carmine D.

We have heard rumblings from you for years that BB was pulling Dyson off the shelves. Ain't happened. You told us that they were being pulled from end caps. Didn't happen. HS:
We know at least one major retailer that dropped the dyson line months ago lock stock and barrel: Linens-n-Things. Pushes the BISSELL bagless now instead. You might want to take a look at the vacuums on the HOME DEPOT Web Site too. Particularly dyson brand. Let us know what you think about it. Carmine D.

Like you Dusty, I tossed it out for argument's sake. Have to admit, it sounds like is a pretty good argument. Carmine D. I see. So I toss something out for arguments sake and get questioned while you toss a personal thought out as fact and that is ok? Sounds like you run with your own set of double standards. I never claimed authenticity of the Asthma society testing anywhere in my post, show me where I did if you believe I'm incorrect. I just asked you how Dyson could achieve it. You, when asked responded with the following... The certs are granted for one reason and one reason only. They are based on users reading and following the dyson Users Manual for dirt bin dumping. Why do you think dyson devotes 2 pages of explicit detail and instructions.You repeated this a second time in another post, once again never stating it was your own opinion instead of fact. When questioned on this piece of fiction you couldn't even be stand up enough to admit you were incorrect, instead you once again answered with yet another question. Where one stands oftentimes depends on where they sit indeed. Dusty

Hi guys, Further debate over whether Dyson out-Hoovers Hoover -- or whatever -- may now all be a loss. He's just announced that he's out to make an electric car. Please see following link: http://jalopnik.com/396805/dyson-developing-electric-car-will-probably-suck Best, Venson

Dyson is also conspicuously missing from the costco web site, although I believe they are available in the stores.
Hello Severus:
You're right! BTW, I recall you mentioning a long time ago when the discussion came up that SEBO vacuums didn't have a CRI approval. I note that they are still not in the queue for the CRI green lable either. At least not yet. While Windsor appear to be zipping through CRI on the fast track. Carmine D.
