Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Sadly your vacuum judgment is flawed by those rose colored dyson glasses you're still wearing. 

Take them off. The DC07 is 6 years old now and dead in the water.  Never to swim again.   

All the wealth that James btained from the DC07 has been slowly eroded and undone on all the R&D

and unprofitabilty of all the dysons after.

I mentioned this to you several years ago [Januray 2007] when you were shopping for the Electrolux Intensity. 

It has come to pass HS.

Please try to follow what I say Carmine.  Your reply to my post is as usual.  Not related to what I said. 

I may have asked a question about the Intensity, however it was never a consideration for purchase.  Again, if you have to comment stay with what I say please.

of corse a proffit was made...$250-300  above its worth...and what was left over after all the previous models, was

used to develop a super clean vacuum....highest ratings among its users....but thats until it breaks down and it cant get fixed.

..or they have deal with their no help line...

...once they begin to research and learn about whats out there they soon realize that they can

have a better performer at hundreds and hundreds less.  with numerous places to service it at that....the public wants

 a simple hi-power vac  and dont care abt a little dirty air to get it ...same quality,more power....hundreds below dyson.

..its been that way for years...and sill is... ..no dysons in a vac shop is'   freedom of choice.' .plain and simple.

..more trouble than they are worth....you can make double or triple the money putting something else in its place

in the showroom....for far less money......a dyson is a collectors item...nothing more...just like that hoover z in our store..

...wasted space. 

Yes, HS I recall your question and I answered you. 

I note that you followed my advice on the Electrolux Intensity.

I also opined at the time that dyson was spreading his resources too thin by attacking too

many non-vacuum related unprofitable ventures at the expense of vacuums. 

I sais it would eventually do dyson in.

As I recall, you agreed with me.  One of the few times you were not distracted by dyson colored glasses.

I also recall you asked me a question about the desirability of a BISSELL carpet sweeper, age and price. 

$50 was the price.

I answered that question for you too.

January 2007.  Not bad for an old vacuum man!

Hi turtle1:

But there is a significant difference between dyson and HOOVER collectibles. 

The HOOVER's actually work well in addition to being a collector's item. 

Carmine D

Retard,  exactly how did you test the Dyson against those cheap vac to determine that they are better performers?

Please share your experiences in using a Dyson in your home.

If all the other brands are so good why is it that the shops make a good living since they do not service Dysons.  What the hell do you repair?

Do you really think that Oreck should have so many vacs.  Really, how much difference in the cheapest and highest priced one.  Do you think an Oreck is worth $800?

hi carmine

quite a few differences indeed.....then and  now...just ask or listen to the consumer/collector . .and in relation to dyson..i should have said  'a novelty'

 ive never tried to use the Z as we have only the one....a classic and a collector it is...but i see a spot for something new ..something i can show off....talk about...and

hopefully sell.....

Well said turtle1.  Dyson was a novelty vacuum [read bagless].  What happens to novelties when they are beat up by the competition.  The novelty wears off.
