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).

I know some vacuum industry professionals with many years of experience in the biz who are proponents of all 3 of these brand name vacuums [MIELE, SEBO, LINDHAUS].  They will tell customers and anyone who asks, Gerry Rubin included, that the best in filtration of all of the 3 is Lindhaus hands down, period, end of story.  I have no reason to doubt their honesty.  Most don't push these brands, preferring instead to let them sell themselves.  Rarely have I seen a Lindhaus on display in their stores.  Usually boxed and new in cartons.  And the Lindhaus brand is discussed only if the opportunity presents itself by a customer who knows the MIELE and/or SEBO  but is still looking for something immer besser!

When a business bad mouths the competition it is because he has an inferior product to the one he is criticizing.  I only trust those who give the merits of their products without being critical of other brands they do not sell.

Nice, free 5min advert for Dyson on prime-time, although personally I'd preferred a bit more depth.

Yes.  As well, the insincere “Dyson Dealers” who become dealers for the repairs and steer vacuum sales to more profitable vacuums.  Do you remember the woman who told the story (posted) here of walking into an Independent Dealer/Dyson Dealer and was told the DC24/25 Ball would hurt her wrist and was steered to another [higher margin, collection sack] vacuum.

Sorry, I don't.  Was it here or another board?  I recall my Best Buy store directing customers from a DC24 to a DC18.

It was here on this forum.  DIB

Missed that one when it previewed here.  Couldn't find it here for an encore.

It's there, the post reads something to the effect...  hey buyer, you do not want a Dyson and/or the nations only {exclusive only to Dyson] steerable.  And was instead pointed towards and/or purchased a collection sack/filter machine?

Thanks for trying, but can't say this scenario rings even a vague sound of a bell for me here on this Forum.
