Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Ad infinitum:  Latin term meaning for eternity, endless, limitless.  It creeps into my speaking and writing. 

I speak for and by myself not for others regardless of the consequences.

I know the word.  I know of no drug maker who’s been granted a limitless patent monopoly as you suggest.        DIB

Blaming inferior performance of the Oreck on a belt. You are as desperate as I have ever seen you.  If the belt has to be replaced so frequently on a demo unit or even if the Oreck has been sitting idle then maybe ol Dave should hire some Dyson engenieers and get in this century.  My be its that a Dyson will perform after sitting idle for years.

BTW, catlady did not say the Oreck was inferior to only the Miele.  She simply insinuated that it had poor performance.

T'is I my good Lad, Carmine D.  Have had only coffee, ice tea, and orange soda today like most days.  Mr. Daniels is reserved for limited and infrequent occasions.  Usually when I call upon and toast with others those men among men who came/left before me.

How do you imbed Kapok into the carpet?  I am willingto bet you that more homes have baking soda on the hard floors and in the carpet than they do Kapok.  I believe that I was the first to recommend baking soda as a test for vacuum performnce on hard surfaces.  It certainly is mor like dust than Kapok.

Again, baking soda is a home staple.  Kapok is not.

You need to vacuum all the Kapok you can and make a life preserver.  I tlooks like you will sink before you get back in the life boat.

Since baking soda is a no contest why not tell us how your Oreck performed on the test.

Carmine:  I did go back and re-write and remove said remark, but you got to my post within seconds of posting and before the rewrite.  Lawsuits and the destruction they bring make me think before going full bore.  I've seen it happen first hand.  You may write for yourself but when hauled off to court over nonsense, the cost of it is covered by the family nut.  And so it is risky and so perhaps I wondered if  maybe Mr. D. was talking.  Good to hear you say no.        DIB

Hello HARDSELL:

Used the DC07 yellow and pink in different homes on different carpets.  Not worth the money for the performance provided.  Unlike you, after I make a mistake once, I don't repeat it. I have no plans to buy and use a DC14, which is being discontinued amlong with the DC14.  If given to me, I would refuse.

Hello HARDSELL:

You walk on it after you put it down.  The difficulty with kapoc like the household stuff it similates is that it clings to the rug/carpet.  Making it a worthy test for uprights.  That's the reason it is an industry test and has been for years.

The baking soda discussion is a moot/mute test.  It has no bearing and no relevance.  It's a non-issue for me and a non-test.  I have none in my house.  Don't plan to buy a box.  Not now.  Not ever.

Hello DIB:

It's a figure of speech.  If drug makers had their druthers, drugs would have indefinite patent expiration dates.  It behooves the drug makers, not the consumers.
