Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

1)  Nov 21, 2007 James Dyson t.v. commercial parodied on Saturday Night Live.

2)  March 17, 2009:  While many independent vacuum dealers bad-mouth, lie of and/or dismiss James Dyson and his teams contributions, many others champion the man.  Watch James Dyson in his element - in his Malmesbury Headquarters.  NBC’s “Today Show”  http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=71fa9222-10d2-413c-bf31-0007895697ac

2)  Older video news:  I could not resist...  A Hottie car-news chick mentions the rumor of Dyson working with car makers, and Oreck gets a mention too (funny).

I wasn't doubting the offer wasn't true. If a savvy consumer (similar to yourself) with a sense of purpose wanted that version I'm quite sure it could be had. BUT I'm also quite sure a customer who went to the Oreck shop for that specific deal, (with less vacuum knowledge), would walk out with ANOTHER, PRICIER machine.

Hello Lucky1:

I was not directing to you.  It was meant for both HARDSELL and Tom Gasko who recently posted back to back here with their incredulousness over my purchase of a new Oreck XL upright for $150 plus shipping.  Not that I fault them for being suspicious and wanting proof.  I am a firm believer in the famous Reagan saying: Trust but verify.  When I encounter doubting Thomases, I like to provide verification.  This email offer and Oreck web site ad provided an excellent opportunity to assuage their doubts.

Thanks Ace for heads up on this ad.        DIB

Yes, that's the one... What do you mean by 2 of 2?

Carmine, once again your Depends are full.  Tom Gasko does not post on Abbysguide, and after speaking to him recently he said he couldn't care less.  It was me (not Tom) who was incredulous that you were able to purchase an XL for $150 plus shipping, $100 more than they're worth.
