Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

• Oreck is conspicuously missing from the upright ratings.
• Panasonic has a new AeroBlast for $700 is a apparently a poor copy of a Dyson that burps loudly when it reverses the air flow to clean the filter.   Why would anyone pay so much for a Dyson copy, particularly when the filter clogs with fine dust?
  
• Hoover's fall from grace is noted, presumably due to their ill conceived bagless vacuums.  Hoover now has the worst reliability of the uprights.  Dyson is second only to Kirby in the reliability rankings.   
  
• For uprights, Kenmore takes the top 2 spots (bagged and bagless), followed by the Riccar SupraLite RSL3, the Electrolux Oxygen EL5035A, and the Kirby Sentria.  
  
• The Halo is #33 on the list for uprights. 
  
• The $60 Hoover Tempo Widepath has a better tool airflow score than the Dyson DC17 as well as better carpet cleaning scores. 
  

This is incorrect a Dyson can be looked after and still fail, you for one should know Dyson is not fail safe.  Any make appliance can fail if abused but as stated the machine was NOT abused.

First, did you read my response just two posts up the page?

How should I know the Dyson is not fail safe?  Three years and no problems with mine

No, however, most other vacs recommend an annual tune up in addition to bags and belts between tune ups.   Lower maintenance and more cleaning ability in a Dyson.

Now please tell me what brand is bullet proof.

An annual tune I'm sure would apply to all vacuum cleaners.  I agree that its good a Dyson does not requre bags and belts.  However more cleaning ability does not apply to just the Dyson.

No brand is bullet proof however ,compare Dyson to a Sebo, Miele, Nilfisk the quality can't quite match.  I do think that the quality in the latest Dysons has improved slightly over my 6 year old DC04 but only slightly.

A current trend for the vacuum sales people today is to sabotage your machine. The door to door crowd seems to be very adepth at doing this.

This practice has put a real dark cloud over the business. I will under no circumstance back up any one who does this,They better start looking for another job............

Mole,

What do you mean by this?  Do they actually damage someone's machine, or just run it down?   I have seen, in fact just this weekend, where the salesman will put a machine at a disadvantage. 

I found this weekend that there are honest people out there, and no so honest.  It is unfortunate that one bad apple will spoil the whole basket of fruit.
