Dusty and I answer this question, seriously.  Here is the message exchange for you to read again.

In the first response you speak as if you are positive that a trip to Oreck to unclog counts as an annual freebie,  You now SUSPECT ( only after dusty offered free service) that Oreck does the same.

As usual you state your opion as fact then later have to side step.  Is it free or is there a charge?

AGAIN, ARE YOU SERIOUS?  Your response is not related to my question. 

Why does an $800 Oreck have to constantly be returned to a dealer for clogs and belts.  This has nothing to do with what you tell a customer.  BTW, I was referring to Oreck and they do not tell you that their vacuums clog.

HS:

What proof do you have that ORECK-s have to be returned to a dealer for clogs and belts?  You have never owned one for more than 30 days.  I've owned and used one for over a year.  No clogs.  No blockages.  No need to bring in for belt changes.  Any one can replace an ORECK belt in 2 minutes, except perhaps you. 

Are you working all this up in your creative mind based on one of Dusty's posts? 

You and most others here have rarely if ever visited an ORECK store.  I've probably visited more than 100 in my vacuum career.  I frequent the 2 stores in LV monthly/more often.  The ORECK stores' staffs tell me 80 percent of the vacuums they service and carry parts for are not ORECKS.  They're other brands.  Including dysons.  The dysons are are brought in with clogged filters, cracked/broken dirt bins, loss of suction, broken hoses, pieces missing, poor pick up on rugs, and other repairs too numerous to mention.

Here's some real Dyson news; Dyson is developing electric power plants for automobiles.

iMacDaddy:

Thanks but your real dyson news was posted 3 times before.  M00seUK, DIB, Venson came before. 

I'll pose this question to you and others.  If dyson can't improve the run time on the DC16 batteries beyond 5 minutes in over 2 years, what makes us think it can design and produce a car that runs on batteries?

It makes for good news story [or more correctly hype].  Why?  To justify dyson's employment of 450 engineers and 12 designers.  Are they gainfully employed?  Or under-utilized?  Tell me.  Where's the beef for all this spent money?

I'm not sure if Dyson is looking into engineering a more efficient battery as much as he is looking into creating a highly efficient electric car engine that produces zero carbon emisions. Companies like A123 Systems, Bosch, and Samsung are moving forward with Lithium Ion battery development that will have them available for the automotive market around 2010. Toyota, General Motors, and Tesla have outsourced battery development to those companies mentioned above. The only car company that I know of that is developing battery packs in-house is Mercedes Benz (they own many patents on their automotive battery technology). Mercedes will roll out several electric cars under their Mercedes Benz and Smart brands within the next three years.

Didnt someone in JAPAN get a car to run on water,i thought i saw this on msnbc it looked like a tata car a big golfcart,the commentator said within 3 hours either big oil or auto manufactures would be knocking down this guys door to get at his invention,[buy him out].The car  said H2O on the side,

The automotive aftermarket has been marketing water injection units for injected cars for a while now[HOLLEY CORP].

Thank you iMacDaddy.

I agree with you.  Dyson scrubbed retooling/improving the DC16 save the motorized brush which more probably detracts from the existing 5-6 minute run time and costs $50 more.  Laughable.   

I recall the HSN launch of the DC16.  A half dozen of the DC16-s were used to perform the TV demo.  One stopped dead in the middle of the demo. They quickly went to another one to resume/complete the pick up process.

I am amazed by your lies, Carmine.  From the time the DYSON DC07 was launched in the UK in 2000 up to today in 2008, the U-bend has always remained the same.  In addition to that, the DC07 has not been discontinued and neither has the DC14, or 15 for that matter.  The fact that there are now so many different models means that not all retailers are going to carry all models.  It was the DC07 after all, that built DYSON's reputation for superior cleaning ability.  The machine is considered bulletproof and is and will continue to be manufactured.  Independent DYSON dealers will likely carry it as an exclusive model, since it more than likely will not continue to be available at big-box stores.

There's 2 for 2.  By the way, the DC11 was not a "miserable failure" and is still being manufactured.  Only 4 DYSON models have been retired because none of them use Root Cyclone technology, they are just dual-cyclone machines.  All Root Cyclone DYSONS are still being manufactured. 

The only "miserable failure" I see here, well I see two of them.  One of them owns a vac shop selling bojack DYSON parts, and the other one is living out his last days in the desert
