Numero Uno is Warren Buffet, my favorite and the owner of Kirby. $62 Billion. Even beats out Gates this year who held the spot for 13 years. [Unlucky number]. It was winning 2 vacuum lawsuits that gave jaydee the start up capital to open the plants in the Malmesbury UK in 1992 and Malaysia in 2001 to mass produce dysons in the UK and then worldwide. He faltered in the vacuum business for years until he won the 2 lawsuits. Essentially giving him in excess of $8 MILLION US. I think I could have parlayed $8 Million US into a BILLION in 7 years too. And I wouldn't have had to move away from my computer to do. How? I would only have had to invest the sum in Berkshire Hathaway stock to make the $1 B mark in that timeframe. Just as Buffet did. Carmine D. With all your years in the vacuum business you had the same opportunity as J D to improve the vacuum. No reason to hate J D just because you made no contributions to improvement..

What is the big deal about checking / changing a filter. If it is not getting dirty it is not performing it's job. Does anyone change the oil and air folter on their auto? Has anyone ever cleaned the filter on a Hoover. This is the worst ever, however our pro doesn't want this mentioned.
Hi Hardsell,
No, there's really not much to making filter checks but most unfortunately the larger part of owners appear to think that vacuum cleaners take care of themselves just like brooms. (They don't know there are care rules for brooms either.) They won't empty bags or notice clogs until the machine either doesn't pick up well or at all -- not a good thing -- and as for filters this seldom crosses the mind of the average user until -- again -- something crucial happens. This is why repair shops are full. When a pitch is being made regarding just about any brand of bagless vacuum what is stressed is that all you have to do is walk over to a trrash can and dump it. I have never heard much regarding the negatives -- the dust raised in the process of emptying, the fluff that gets caught on the shroud requiring removal by hand -- mentioned. Of all things, filter maintenance is the last thing mentioned. I've encountered numerous buyers who think bagless means absolutely no maintenance other than dumping out the bin. Worse yet, there seems to be no line of logic that leads them to see otherwise. The hope is that the better bagless machines and even bagged ones are being made as "user proof" as possiblle. The only thing they've come up with so far iis the thermal overload switch. Best, Venson
