Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I do not understand why Toyota is being singled out.  Pull all the others off the market and leave Toyota alone.  That is the view that our government takes on profiling terrorists. 

I agree that they both have a compact canister and are sililar in weight.  Oreck can't compare on cleaning with either the upright or canister IMO.

by several accounts 12-19 dead/injured from horrific accidents as a result of acceleration problems dating back to 2005 in toyota and lexus vehicles.  Currently the company averages about 100 calls and emails daily and has fro days from toyota customers affected by the recalled vehicles.  No official company statement after more than a week of the recall announcement.  Toyota customers upset by the loss of resale value of their vehicles.  Upset being told to park their vehicles and odn't drive.  CTS [outsource supplier of pedals] is perplexed with toyota by recall vehicles.   Disagreement on problem by both.  Lawyers circling the wagons.  Talk of class actions suits.  Likely reasons for toyoyta's woes.  Toyota went from glory to disaster in less than one year.

ORECK is the original lightweight upright marketed with a compact canister.  After 45 plus years, HOOVER copied.  HOOVER is the standard for rug cleaning, nice to see/hear you admit it.  Took you a LONG TIME.  ORECK is a very distant second. 

Now let's see if you change your tune on toyota...............Consumer Reports has.  Toyota no longer best for quality.  Not recommended.  Ford is numero uno for quality.

I was told by a dealer that the only 2005 model affected was the Avalon.  I do not buy into the rushed design being the culprit.  I also do not see an accelerator pedal as the problem.  Today's autos are dependent on electronics and I think there is a defect in a module.  I doubt that I will be called in to consult.  It is much easier to fall than to rise, especially with the media coverage we have today  I can't recall a manufacturer that has not had problems.  This is the most serious to date as far as I know.  The Pinto could easily have busted Ford, however they recovered.  Hopefully Toyota will do the same.  I certainly do not want a single choice for an auto.  Not to mention the loss to our economy.

Where did you read that I proclaimed Hoover to be the standard for cleaning?  Hoover certainly has advanced since the sell off and Oreck has not changed in 45 years.  Perhaps a sale is in order for Oreck. 

Gee, CR has great hind sight.  Tell us more after the fact CR.  Toyota has a serious problem.  They still surpass the other brands in all other quality aspects.

PS, I drive a Ford.

Or perhaps a dyson electric car?  Does that qualify for posts here?

Mike:

I was asking to see if you knew.  Not me.  How about dyson AirBlades?  Those qualify as topic on vacuum Forum?  Or do you censor by poster rather than topic?
