Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Dyson is in the news frequently and so a dedicated thread.

I think catlady is the only one to post on buying a new Miele.  She complained about a $2 cost in replacement bags over her initial bag purchase.  Your statement about the cost of bags not being an issue went out the door.

My Dyson was over 2 years old when I sold it.  Again you need to get your facts before spouting off.  BTW,  neither bagged vacuum that replaced the DC07 is equal in performance.  So before you rattle off I will tell you that as soon as I meet another vacuum salesman that wants to lose a bet that gets me a new Dyson I will once again own one.

 Dyson has been busy filing patents in Europe. Some of which are not vacuum related.    DIB

Hello HARDSELL:

I almost gave up on you.  Your time away dulled your memory.  If you read CATLADY's final response on the matter here she says her health and pets are more important than the cost of the MIELE bags.  Her verdict: Her MIELE S7 is the winner over a bagless dyson.  BTW, read the vacuum reviews on this Site.  MIELE S7 is the winner for all posters not just CATLADY [aka Melanie MIELE].

You keep saying that the gifted refurb dyson you cashed out is better than the new bagged vacuum you bought with the proceeds.  But no new dyson, yet?   Why?  Are you still looking for another free refurb for hawking dysons here?  Like I told you:  Not going to happen!  Several retailers beat you too it.  And your name is mud with the dyson campers.  Posting here that you cashed in your dyson gift for a bagged vacuum?  What were you drinking?

No new Lexus gifted to you either.  Times are tough, my friend.  Toyota sales will be in the tank soon just like dyson sales.  You heard it from me first.  Ta Ta toyato.

Last time I checked, Miele, Sebo, Riccar etc also had filters that needed regular changing and are also costly to replace.  When showing these machines I am almost always asked the cost of filters and bags and contrary to what you may believe, it does make and break a sale. Just because somebody can afford a higher priced unit doesn't mean they are willing to kick out top dollar for bags and filters all the time. It all comes down to customer preference. While I understand you have a strong dislike for Dyson product, there is no shortage of others who will rave about it to anyone they meet.  In the end, it's just another vacuum that's carving out its market niche just like all the other brands before it have done.

Wholeheartedly agree Dusty.  Like I said: For "MOST" who buy quality bagged vacuums, the yearly cost of bags are not even on the radar screen.  Not all buyers. 

BTW, glad to hear you say dyson is a niche seller.  I've said that since 2002 when it was launched.  I don't dislike 'dyson' per se.  It's a vacuum.  It's a decent bagless, save the ball dyson models and the hand held.  But dysons in general are [and have been] overpriced, overrated, overengineered and overmarketed.  There are many more much better vacuum choices for the same price and/or less.  If that is what you mean when you say I strongly dislike dyson product, then you're absolutely right.  I agree.  Mea culpa.

Let's see what should I do for penance?  I know. I'll petition the Vatican, the Holy Father, and the Conference of Catholic Bishops and demand that the Canon Law of the Catholic Church be amended to include an 11th Commandment.  A new beatitude:  Thou shalt love dyson!   

But I'm not optimistic.  They are Lindhaus lovers!

HI MOLE:

He's a recipient of the new beatitude that I want added:  He who praises dyson, shall be gifted a free refurb!

Carmine D.

The real dyson or the toy dyson ?

It probally would not matter they both clean the same.

Think he'd know the difference.

"Most" could mean 51%.  That leaves 49% of buyers thinking twice due to the cost of consumables.    More often than not, our customers make bag and filter costs a concern no matter what machine they are buying, especially now that the economy is in the tank. 

When I say you dislike Dyson, I base this from the amount of posts where you trash the product.  You certainly put forth an anti Dyson slant.

 Not being a religious person I couldn't tell you one way or another if it's a sin not to love Dyson but I'm pretty sure the book says somewhere you get merit points for opening your heart to everybody :-)

Hello DIB and Dusty:

Most, not all, can mean a range anywhere from 51-99.9999999 percent too! 

I not only opened my heart to dyson but also my pocket book: I purchased a DC07 pink [Susan B. Komen edition] from TARGET.  And I was sadly disappointed and underwhelmed with the results.  The gawdawful ratcheting noise scared the bejeepers out my lab.  My dear Wife and dog would leave our house whenever I started to vacuum with the DC07.  Thank goodness the clutch and brushbar shutoff are discontinued/obsolete features. 

I gave the company and vacuum another chance.  And even posted about it here.  The DC24, lightweight.  The latest and greatest.  Scoped it out at TARGET the first week it launched.  With my dear Wife.  The deal breaker for me was the bottom cord hook.  No way for these old bones of mine can touch my toes to wrap the cord.  ;-)
