You are probably not an advocate of "blindly" accepting and following advice from friends and family for purchases of $500 plus. Instead, going to the experts and industry professionals. Like for vacuums, especially dyson costing $500 plus. Word of mouth among consumers doesn't always hold true. You would agree from the customers you service. In hard economic times [like now] buying chickens and tires comes before vacuums for most US consumers. You have to eat and drive your car to work if you want a roof over your head with rugs and furniture to vacuum. I read that home foreclosures in the US exceeded housing sales for the month of January 2008. The first time since the great depression in the 1920's and 1930's. Carmine D. Foreclosures are the result of greedy finance companies (the pros) and idiotic home buyers. Sort of like a vac purchase from a lying vac pro.

Spoken like a die hard dyson worshipper who doesn't think but wishes his friends and family will do it for him. Carmine D.
I have called all my family and friends and invited them over for a vacuum party. I am recording all vacuum commercials so we can watch them. I have bought every magazine with a vacuum ad and will likely have these passed around as we praise the local vacuum shops who have so graciously screwed us. Oddly they tell us that what they sell is the best.
Thanks for the idea carmine.

Hello HS:
It's not my idea. It's Oreck's. I can't take the credit. Carmine D.

I'm not an advocate of blindly following anyones advice no matter what the cost of purchase. Different strokes for different folks. What works or doesn't work for one person doesn't mean it'll be the same for me.

You consider it a privilege to know and "love" James in just a few short years of friendship. I've known Dave for over 50 years. He is an icon in the vacuum industry in the USA. He and his vacuums pass the test of time. He's probably the last of the best of the industry still around. It is an honor and privilege to know him. His children's children will call him blessed.
The only feathers flocking around him are the ones that the dysons can't pick up in the match offs against ORECK. Not to worry. ORECK gets them up, contains securely for disposal in a huge paper bag, and leaves no feathers, dust and dirt behind. Not in the air, on the vacuum or in the vacuum. Simply Amazing. More clean. Less money. Carmine D.

ORECK gets them up, contains securely for disposal in a huge paper bag, and leaves no feathers, dust and dirt behind. Not in the air, on the vacuum or in the vacuum. Simply Amazing. More clean. Less money. Carmine D. You know the only reason Oreck came up with that idea is because they couldn't sell the damn thing in the first place. They were encouraging people to talk about it because it wasn't coming naturally as it did for the Dyson. Funny that all of the Oreck tests involve nothing but surface dirt...I'd love to see what happens with ground-in sand or potting soil (which the Dyson does well on). I am fully aware that the Dyson takes a bit longer to pick up kapok on a rug than most because the brushroll isn't turning as fast as the Oreck's...I've seen the video of an Oreck XL21 and a Dyson DC14, and again with my own eyes when I tried a kapok test with a DC07. The twist (or what is not seen) is that because of the slower brush speed, the Dyson can actually deep clean while the Oreck only removes the surface dirt...there will always be added dirt from within the carpet along with the test kapok in the bin. These little "speed tests" mean NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. And for what it's worth, the XL21 is $749, $200 more than the DC17 Absolute. And that's if you're buying it from a big-box retailer. Buy the DC17 from an independent and the XL21 will be $300 more. Less money? I think not. -MH

Hello Mike: I figured you chime in. But I thought it would be because of this comment I made in my post here: "The dyson "Never clogs. Never loses suction" mantra is coming back to haunt. Takes more than a nifty change in wording and moving on. Doesn't it?" You let me down. Carmine D. |
