Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

1)  Nov 21, 2007 James Dyson t.v. commercial parodied on Saturday Night Live.

2)  March 17, 2009:  While many independent vacuum dealers bad-mouth, lie of and/or dismiss James Dyson and his teams contributions, many others champion the man.  Watch James Dyson in his element - in his Malmesbury Headquarters.  NBC’s “Today Show”  http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=71fa9222-10d2-413c-bf31-0007895697ac

2)  Older video news:  I could not resist...  A Hottie car-news chick mentions the rumor of Dyson working with car makers, and Oreck gets a mention too (funny).

Mole,

I am only a student of Dyson.  Please share the models, their maintenance schedule/s and costs to replace.  Is it dreadful?        DIB

Then i think you would gain a lot more knowledge from Sir Carmine D, than J.D. , Carmine is a living legend in this industry, He may not be right %100 of the time, he's only human. If Carmine is stumped on a particular vacuum cleaner question he has his own TEAM  of industry professionals that can set him strait.

He speaks the truth and knows when its hype,b.s., and the smoke and mirror  dog and pony show.

Heres something you can try with any dyson upright,place a metal wand about three feet long on a carpet,and see if your vacuum can pull it across the carpet,this will tell you how much airmovement and suction thats being delivered at the cleaning head,go ahead and try it and get back to me about it.

I know that my 149.95 sanitaire upright will do it,and many more machines also. And heres the best part none of them use cyclonic bagless technology.They never had to.

MOLE/ OLD-TIMER......................

Thanks MOLE.  I get by with a little help from my friends. Like you! 

That's a wonderful rug test for uprights.  Tho the rookies here will cry 'trick' of the trade in defense of the poor showing by their brand.  I like to call it the truth of the trade.

Your Oreck will not do itt.  Neither wll the Oreck hand held.   All those Hoovers you bragged about had the worst hose suction on the market.

Mole or Carmen,

which in your opinion has the best hose suction.  DC14, Royal Eminance or Kirvy Sentria.

HS:

I presume you addressed this jointly to MOLE and/or me?  

You didn't specify the method for testing the hose suction of these vacuums.  What method/means did you want us to use for measuring the hose suctions to determine good, better, and best among these 3 uprights?

Thanks DIB.  Carmine, the truth (or should I say irony) is that bojack DYSON parts are actually MORE expensive than genuine.  It would cost the customer more if they brought their machine to a regular vac shop and had non-genuine parts put on it (of questionable quality no less) than it would if they brought it to an authorized DYSON service center.  Due to all of the steps it takes to become an authorized service center for DYSON (benefiting from the assortment of inexpensive genuine parts), it is of no surprise that bojack parts do cost more, due to the lack of desire (or inability) on the owner's part to take the effort to become an authorized service center.

Not true.  That claim does not hold water because if you were to take the motor from a Panasonic AeroBlast and try to fit it in a DYSON upright, it would not work.  DYSON uses a different motor.  Just because the bojack replacement motor is Panasonic-made does not mean the original (or genuine replacement for authorized DYSON service centers) is.

Hello Motor:

Replacement parts [even genuines made by suppliers] are subject to price reductions and variations based on the quantity ordered and indy-stores making the purchases. 

A timely store payer with a track record of good payments and large monthly orders may receive the genuine parts from a supplier much cheaper than a dyson franchised store receives from dyson.  Right?  Of course!  Dyson is required by contract to charge the same prices for parts to all its franchisees.  Not a generic parts supplier.  A blanket statement that all replacement parts [even genuines] are more expensive through a parts supplier than through the company [in this case dyson] is wrong.  Each specific part and store would have to be compared.  More truthful, as a blanket statement, is that the dyson parts, especially if outsourced, are more expensive to and from franchised dealers.
