Sorry guys I MUST concur here. Its simply not enough to rely on statistics, believing ALL the hype that consumer reports do = after all Im sure some of you have vacuums that have been slated in the past and yet they give you sterling service. Granted, some statistics are worth relying on but they don't create a whole picture. <BR><BR>I'll give you an example; on here (and I can't remember whether it was a review or not) someone mentioned that the Sebo Felix gave poor carpet performance. Not in my home! If I go over the whole carpet with the Felix and then a bagless vacuum with no dirt in the bin, hardly any other dirt comes to the surface which the cyclonic system produces. This isn't a lab test but purely one that's done by me. <BR><BR>Similarly I got a surprise when I did the same testing with a claimed "best performance" Panasonic bagged upright and the bagless test- the cyclonic vac produced a lot more dirt after the Panasonic had gone over the same carpet.
Here's a good video with a Dyson in it!

Hi vacmanuk:
If I recall correctly, SEBO's felix was not given a poor rating for rug performance by Consumer Reports. But I'd have to verify and confirm with certainty. Carmine D.

I once put together a compact c5 with a electrolux p/n 5 and did my own demo on a 9x12 carpet, using basic junk yard parts,adapted my filterqueen dust scope to the machine hose end, put in the black demo filters and it blew way every vacuum i own. So anyone want to opine about what caused this revelation was it the compact or the p/n 5. I must say you guys are getting warmer. Hey venson please set these guys strait.......... regards MOLE |

When I used the DC07 I was amazed at the dirt that all the others failed to remove. I had been using them daily for a few weeks so they had the opportunity to clean the carpet before the Dyson arrived. Sold it. Did not have to give it away like your brands.
Hi HARDSELL: You were gifted a repack/refurb dyson DC07 for hawking dysons here [the relevant words of your post are highlighted]. After less than 2 years you sold the free DC07 since it didn't have a warranty, among other reasons. Much to the chagrin of the DC07 donor who no longer posts here. What did you do with the DC07 proceeds? You bought a new Royal Emminence bagged upright. Not even a new dyson. Why? Actions HS speak louder than words. Yes, I gift away some my vacuums after I use them. On occasions I even buy more of the brands and models I particularly like and think others will too and gift the new ones away. I gift to persons/places who may need vacuums and will appreciate them. Not for them to resell, like you do. Carmine D.

Think what you like Carmine. I already told you how I won the new DC07 from an Oreck salesman. To my knowledge he has never been on this forum. Likely too embarrassed. I sold the DC07 because I wanted to try something different. Warranty was not a factor. I did have a three year warranty FYI. Your story adds more credit to my accusations of you making up fiction as you post here.
Yes, I bought a Royal and a Kirby. Good vacuums but not as good as the DC07. No doubt you gift yours since they have no used value.

HARDSELL: Dysons don't come with a 3 year warranty? It's 2 and/or 5 years FYI. What did Shakespeare say? What a web this mortal doth weave when deception he decides to conceive.

Carmine D. $19 for a warranty at Best Buy. No deception. Just facts.

HS:
Sure thing! The ORECK store employee, after supposedly losing a bet to you on a matchoff of the ORECK and dyson IN AN ORECK STORE, springs for an additional year warranty on the dyson! Right! You're wearing the same rose colored dyson glasses that your cohorts here wear to post their praise for failed dyson products pulled off the market for not selling. Carmine D.
