Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

After several years of trying, the dyson campers still can't find an appliance/market for users of the brushless motor.   Like dyson's contra rotating washer, these inventions bleed real hard for their creators.  Tho, the current economy will certainly speed the company's business cycle along, like it or not.  Recessions [some say depression] force out overpriced brands and products.  Sadly, in such times there are no buyers for these fledgling products and businesses.  They die a painful and slow death. 

Awhile ago I suggested on this thread that dyson divest itself of the hand dryers and focus time/resources on vacuums, its core business. 

Now, it's probably too late.

• You know I used the Xlerator.  It got the restroom contract at the new casino/hotel in North Las Vegas. 
• Xlerator took only 10 seconds for drying my hands.  Remember the birthday song.  This equals the Airblade time, which I haven't used, but presume dyson's claim is true.  M00seUK agrees the Xlerator is a powerful unit.   I supect it's due to the air velocity of the Xlerator: 16,000 linear feet per minute at the opening.  What is dyson's?
• Xlerator's max run time is 35 seconds.  It's called a lockout feature.  What is dyson's?  Xlerator automatically shuts off  after 35 secs if hands are not removed.  I presume the 35 seconds is for them there from your neck of woods who like to bathe in public toilets.  [So they don't use up all the toilet paper]. 
• Since the Xlerator gets your hands clean after drying, it must do the same for the sink counters and mirrors.  It's undried hands and surfaces, like the deep well in the Airblade, that are bacterial prone, and in need of anti-bacterial covering and cleaning.
• Don't know why a HEPA filter is needed on anything except a vacuum/air cleaner.  Another case of dyson overengineering.  Like putting b-a-l-l-s on vacuums for wheels.  Gets a notion and voila: It's everywhere. 
• NSF:  Non-sufficient funds.  Which is what customers get when they buy your overpriced products! 
• On-site service.  Not a problem with a company that leads the industry for 48 years.  Is a big problem for a novice company with less than 2 years in the idustry.

I have to conclude that Airblade didn't get the sales contracts in the UK/LV because the Xlerator's price and performance flatly out-smoked it.   Left it blowing in the wind.  Especially with Xlerator's smaller weight and size and easier mounting.   Maybe Airblade will come in a slim/lightweight version?  Or perhaps hire more sexy reps?   The housewives didn't work out.  Didn't have any industry knowledge and experience.

What's that sound?  Calling Matt mmc Airblade.  I hear that loud sucking sound.  HARDSELL just fell in the hole with DIB.  Quick!  Toss them some dyson refurbs for floatation devices.  Careful, don't fall in yourself.

Thanks for the flattery.  I am not an Xlerator anything save a very satisfied and impressed user.  Once we cut through all the chafe [read dyson sales spin] it is crystal clear, even to a six year old, that the Xlerator's features and specs beat your brand.  Add XLerattor's lower price, smaller size, less weight, 48 years of business in the industry, and 16,000 LFM air velocity [What is dyson's Airblade?] and Xlerator blows Airblade out of the water. 

I don't care about Xlerator's profits.  You must remember DIB that for me, money is never the best and final measure of success.
