Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Thank God for those who try.  I can't always give high scores in regard to the worth of their efforts but they do help to keep life interesitng.  And per the news link -- http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080926/0437655.html -- Bissell certainly is trying.

I can't find any information about the new Bissell Versus (see below) but the article states that HSN has it and that it will be in the hands of retailers this month.

Best,

HARDSELL:

Wrong, AGAIN.  ORECK CLassic XL doesn't have a light.  You're not reading and comprehending here.  Have a another cup of joe to stimulate those brain cells.  They are falling asleep on you/dying!  No light on the ORECK is one of my reasons for upgrading.  We went through this before here, my friend.  Not to worry: The headlight on the new TEMPO works fine until I upgrade to the new ORECK Silver series.

TARGET stores have added the BISSELL Versa to its sales venue for $79.95

Dainty, it’s not...

Below is a pic from Target's; Bissell's Versus page.  You can see the clear advantage of the patent pending "V" nozzle - it's impossible to position the vacuums nozzle and clean up to base boards and such, unlike atypical nozzle[d] vacuum which can.

Keep up the good work Bissell.

Hello DIB:

I believe you made this comment earlier and Venson responded to it, with no reply from you at the time.  Did you miss/misunderstand the previous response?

Hi DIB,

You're missing the spin here.  Notice the white arrows at the ends of the nozzle wings.  That would mean that a forward pass along a floor edge with the "wing tip" is meant to clean corners and along baseboards.  You turn the cleaner one way or another to clean the next floor edge.  Not  a practical idea but Best Buy has been talked into carrying the Versus online.  I'm curious to see who follows.  If they move, it means that you can sell anybody anything.  But . . . at 80-bucks it will prove of interest to the non-thinking because it's cheap.

My post was an answer to Venson's curiosity: TARGET follows BEST BUY.  I suspect other retailers will too and carry the BISSELL VERSA.

Carmine,
I am getting older...  I may of missed his reply and I may of posted the pic before too.  I was blown away Target is using this pic on their site, that was my motivation for today's post.        DIB

Be ye not astonished!  Though this is to my mind a rather silly spin on a vacuum cleaner Target, purveyor of Fruit of the Loom for six bucks per pack, isn't Nieman Marcus or Bloomingdale's.  Who ever approved the Versus design believed that there is enough of a public more taken by form as opposed to function who'd think, "Isn't that cool"  because they know there's also enough of a public -- that I shall not be so rude as to call uninformed or kind of dumb -- who'll pop the 80 bucks on the counter to give it a go.  The cheap trash you see on the shelf ain't out there for nothin'.  (I confess -- I've shopped in a 99-cents store.)

We're a populous of 303,500,000 souls, per early 2008 findings, and few give much deep thought to household devices until they feel they need one and don't think about them much after they get them -- until something goes wrong..  Of course the wonderful thing about us is that today as opposed to the good old days in which you simply got used to walking if you couldn't afford a horse -- there's now something for everybody.  And everybody wants a chance to have.  For that reason alone, rest assured big business wants everbody's money, not just that of those who are well-heeled to afford quality or real science.  The folks who do fall for the high-amp and unique design hype will love it until the nozzle gets fractured in two or three months. BUT -- there will be more affordable junk available when they go back to look for another one.

God, how I wish I too still believed in fairy tales.

Hello Venson:

BISSELL's answer to the Dirt Devil designer series Kruz and Kurv!

These have also been featured on a dedicated Infomercial. You know how successful they are in getting idio ummm sorry "consumers" to buy second rate garbage. Note SHARK.

Hello Lucky 1:

Alot of vacuum consumers who knew better bought Regina Electrik Brooms and used them like full size vacuums.  And swore by them [not at them].  The product couldn't stand up by itself.  Had to be hung/leaned.   $19.95 to $119.95.  Go figure.  It's called the greater fool theory.
