Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Same old HARDSELL same old, same old.  Your material and posts are getting very stale.  We're going to have to lock you up in the same cage as Tom Gasko and DIB will look in on you now and again.  And tell you how much the dysons have come down in price.

Talk about stale.  I see that you still can't answer a simple question.  Dyson pricing has nothing to do with your "originality statement".

Simple question for you.  Don't need to know your vacuum and car needs.  Just whether you think $299 is a fair price for a new dyson DC07?  Can you answer without reciting all the old ORECK HOOVER Carmine D. Wal*Mart baggage that you are famous for?

Carmine D.

I will gladly respond to the question.  I thought that the DC07 was a fair price prior to the $299 close out.

Now as to your statement about originality.  That was not a question.

I knew you could answer, it just takes awhile.  Given the 2 vacuums: DC07 All Floors for $299 and the Royal Eminence for $299, which would you buy and why?

Let's see if you can answer 2 questions in a row on here.

I overlooked your response last night and at 4 am today.

I would take the Dyson at $299.  In fact I called the Royal dealer last year to see how much tt would cost to trade.  The difference was mor than I was willing to pay.

Simply put the Dyson cleans better, no bags to buy and no belts to replace.  Shortly after purchasing the Royal my son used it and immediately told me that the Dyson was better.  His comment was totally unsolicited.  He has absolutely no interest in vacuums, however he knows which has best perfformance.

Your response begs the question: Why did you sell the dyson DC07 if you like it so much?  And buy the Royal Eminence for $299?

Carmine,

For as long as I can remember I have been the type to constantly try "something new".  That is how I ended up with the Dyson, the Royal and the Kirby.  Years ago I bought a Rainbow and gifted my Electrolux to my daughter.

In the process of trying new products I cull those that are unsatisfactory.  That is why I returned the likes of Kenmore, Panasonic and Oreck. 

I bought a new Dodge Charger Hemi in 1968 for around $6000.  Traded it a year later. Today these bring upwards of $500,000.  If I could kick my rear I would do so each day for that mistake.

Hello HARDSELL:

Are you saying the answer is in your second paragraph.  You culled [sold and purchased the Royal] the dyson DC07 because you deemed it was unsatisfactory?  That's the message I get after I cull the other information in your post about your 1968 mistake in selling the Dodge Charger.

I do the same, buy and try.  I purchased the new Dirt Devil Kruz for $100.  It was to be a quick picker upper.  It was okay.  Very spivy looking.  8 pounds, like the famous ORECK.  Uses a similar wheel arrangement as the DD easy/power glide.  Skates along the hard floors with no effort.  Not nearly as good as the HOOVER Slider which can be used on rugs/carpets unlike the straight suction Kruz.  I gifted the Kruz away.  I'd recommend the HOOVER Slider over the Kruz.

FYI, Fry's has a 5 day sale currently, not just one day as on Memorial Day, on all new DC07 All Floors.  $299 on clearance and closeout.  My sense is that after all these dyson 7-s are sold, next Fry's will discount the DC14-s.
