Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I'm not sure if Dyson is looking into engineering a more efficient battery as much as he is looking into creating a highly efficient electric car engine that produces zero carbon emisions. Companies like A123 Systems, Bosch, and Samsung are moving forward with Lithium Ion battery development that will have them available for the automotive market around 2010. Toyota, General Motors, and Tesla have outsourced battery development to those companies mentioned above. The only car company that I know of that is developing battery packs in-house is Mercedes Benz (they own many patents on their automotive battery technology). Mercedes will roll out several electric cars under their Mercedes Benz and Smart brands within the next three years.

Didnt someone in JAPAN get a car to run on water,i thought i saw this on msnbc it looked like a tata car a big golfcart,the commentator said within 3 hours either big oil or auto manufactures would be knocking down this guys door to get at his invention,[buy him out].The car  said H2O on the side,

The automotive aftermarket has been marketing water injection units for injected cars for a while now[HOLLEY CORP].

Thank you iMacDaddy.

I agree with you.  Dyson scrubbed retooling/improving the DC16 save the motorized brush which more probably detracts from the existing 5-6 minute run time and costs $50 more.  Laughable.   

I recall the HSN launch of the DC16.  A half dozen of the DC16-s were used to perform the TV demo.  One stopped dead in the middle of the demo. They quickly went to another one to resume/complete the pick up process.

I am amazed by your lies, Carmine.  From the time the DYSON DC07 was launched in the UK in 2000 up to today in 2008, the U-bend has always remained the same.  In addition to that, the DC07 has not been discontinued and neither has the DC14, or 15 for that matter.  The fact that there are now so many different models means that not all retailers are going to carry all models.  It was the DC07 after all, that built DYSON's reputation for superior cleaning ability.  The machine is considered bulletproof and is and will continue to be manufactured.  Independent DYSON dealers will likely carry it as an exclusive model, since it more than likely will not continue to be available at big-box stores.

There's 2 for 2.  By the way, the DC11 was not a "miserable failure" and is still being manufactured.  Only 4 DYSON models have been retired because none of them use Root Cyclone technology, they are just dual-cyclone machines.  All Root Cyclone DYSONS are still being manufactured. 

The only "miserable failure" I see here, well I see two of them.  One of them owns a vac shop selling bojack DYSON parts, and the other one is living out his last days in the desert

Go easy on Carmine.  There is a difference is telling a lie and speaking out of stupidity.

You're right.  A liar knows better.  A stupid person doesn't.  Unlike you, I am neither.  Do you know which you are?  Answer honestly.

You were wrong on the ORECK stores.   You're wrong on the U bend airway joint on the first DC07-s launched here in the USA.  It was a detachable/attachable tube.  With a thumb tab.  Customers mistook the tab for a handle release.  Stepped on it.  It came off and most store staff didn't know how to attach.  The dyson manual was of no assistance.  When it was off, the dyson had no suction in the tool mode.

We have an expert here, Matt mmc [Airblade], who clarified this matter once before on a Forum.  He can do it again for you!  Matt would you like to chime in here and bail out one of your fans?

I hold in abeyance my responses to some of your other commentary until this is resolved.

Wrong on the Oreck stores?  Explain please.  9 times out of 10 with any store, the staff is overly friendly and enthusiastic due to being desperate for business.  And yes, I was the sole visitor on more than one occasion. 

As to the U-bend, it's not difficult to reattach at all (just snaps into place) and really tells me a thing or two about the IQ of sales floor staff...not DYSON's problem, but the problem of the bumbling morons working at Best Buy and other places.

Dyson was not meant to be for the mentally challenged like Carmine.  He needs something simple like Oreck.

My apology Carmine.  You are both.

Is this a riddle?
