Hi Carmine,yes i well remember those claims, about how the HOOVER beater bar wore the wood off a pencil,and the pitch that went with it, if it took the wood off a pencil,imagine what it must be doing to your carpet?.
And the most famous line of all you buy your carpeting by the yard and throw it away by the pound.[if you use anything but our vacuum,filterqueen,compact and even electrolux,airway,used this line.
The one that really sticks in my mind is ELECTROLUX for years bashed uprights then all of a sudden in 1978 made one,
I asked the customer all the time do you really think HOOVER or EUREKA would make a vacuum that would destroy your carpets the answer 100% of the time was NO.
I can go on for hours about this stuff,but i'll stop here............

Hello MOLE:
The door to door brands impugned HOOVER so much and so long with these falsehoods [resurrected by the psuedo dyson vacuum pros a half century later to defend the puny dyson brush bar], HOOVER compiled an industry booklet in the 50's. It contained letters of endorsement from all the major US rug makers attesting and certifying to the excellent performance of the HOOVER brand on rugs. Green book! Remember it well.
Fast forward 50 years later, and the same vacuum industry myth gets spewed again. This time under the veil of pervasive lawsuits by vacuum users against HOOVER for rug damage. Remember the poster? A legend in his own mind. Trying to defend the indefensible. A sub standard industry brush roll: The puny dyson brush bar. What a crock! What a crock!
Scare tactics used by psuedo vacuum pros duped by dyson hype and untrue claims. These so called pros still refuse to accept and tell the truth about dysons. Why? Because they were fooled and don't want to admit it.
