Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

In the press today:-
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23711862-details/Dyson+with+more+revs+than+F1+racer/article.do

Product details:-

• Motor goes at 106,000rpm 'three times faster than any other motor'
• 200 watt motor
• 65/38 air watts (switchable power??)
• £129.99 GBP RRP, powered brush version £149.99

I think the devil will be in the other details, as we learn them. Presumably it's using the Dyson Digital motor? From the photo, the collection bin looks slightly deeper and has a more prominent release switch. It has improved max suction (DC16 has 36 air watts) so I'm presuming (nay hoping) that it can run in standard mode for more than 5mins and switch to a 'turbo' mode as needed?

I have prefectly good DC16, but I could be tempted by something with a longer run time and twice the already impresive suction for car cleaning.

I didn't put the $60 B&D pivot vac on the wall for comparison to dyson's $250 handheld.  Sir James did.  He pointed to it as the leader, and so does Consumer Reports.

I say B&D does not put their “best and brightest” in their vacuum division.  I say B&D does not have [utility patented] breakout inventions coming from their vacuum division.  I say the vacuum division is void of the best and brightest.  I say B&D vac engineers have proven they offer nothing remarkably innovative and so Dyson would never hire these innovative-inept.  What say you?

I gotta give you all credit...  you cons always stick together.  Carmine, can you explain how Severus and Venson log in at the exact same times and have done so for the past two years?  I understand you have no credibility and have nothing to loose, but I believe Venson is a vacuum clubber and needs the respect of his peers.  You two just could not shut up.  Amazing.

DIB,

Hoover has always been very good at carpet cleaning, which is Dyson's biggest deficiency.   Dyson may know how to design a vacuum that maintains suction, but it seems to have no clue how to design the agitation to get the dirt vibrated out of the rug.  In head to head tests, most Dyson uprights get whipped by a 4amp Oreck carpet sweeper.  Dyson engineers have very little experience with American style carpeting.  Carmine has pointed out the deficiencies due to the lack of height adjustment and the nozzle design.  Hoover engineers could teach Dyson about the balance between air flow, nozzle design, height adjustment and carpet agitation.    Hoover has also got experience with self-propulsion of vacuums.  So yes, I think Dyson could benefit from hiring Hoover engineers.

DIB,

You're love of James Dyson is truly amazing.    

In the real world:  (1) price does matter, (2) suction by itself doesn't clean all that well, and (3) 5-10 minutes isn't enough time to finish most jobs.   I can't imagine anyone in the construction business buying one of these toys.  It has so little practical value it's incredible.  This hand vacuum is best suited for display by Dyson lovers than actual use.   The $300 Dyson hand held is designed for display in a glass case.     Most people don't have money for a $300 upright, let alone a $300 dustbuster.    I can't imagine anyone paying more than $75 for a hand held vacuum - unless its gold plated.

By the way, how often do you polish your Dyson?

It's one thing to be make a mistake and admit it and apologize like a reasonable person would.  Quite another to be told of the mistake and do it over again!  There are names for people like you.  You know them already and it's probably the reason you are not in the restaurant business with your father.

I opine that its at least the same number of times a day he cleans the brown stuff off his nose for having it stuck so far up where the sun doesn't shine on Sir James!

Well, DIB believe what you want. I have already told you that I don't involve myself in that kind of nonsense. That is why I use my real name -- Venson Thomas -- instead of an online moniker so that there may be no doubt in regard to my own opinion as to what I see as good or bad.

In any event, there's a saying -- "If a person argues with a fool, who's the bigger fool?"

Have good day,

Venson

Well, this "fool" took screen snaps of Severus' and Venson's log in times.  Venson, I couldn’t care less how or why you do the things you do.  I'm here to expose the pathetic underbelly of bad-mouthing of Dyson by non-Dyson dealers, bad-mouthing of Dyson by authorized-Dyson dealers and bad-mouthing Dyson by collectors, enthusiasts, frustrated workbench and garage tinkers and the jealous of Sir James Dyson’s success individuals.  I've had a good time.

Going after my credibility?  Shall I upload the screen snaps?

Shhhhhhh

DIB, hold up as many screen shots as you want. You are calling me a liar and I expect you to show what you see as proof of that. However, be sure to show not one, not two but all that's there plus everyone who's been logged in the same time as myself.

Also make me even happier by checking with either this site's moderator, webmaster or administrator to establish where the posts you question emanate from.

I know thoroughly well that you are not concerned as regards my point of view and, truthfully, neither am I as to yours. And, like you -- I don't care. Therefore rant and rave all you want. Your accusations, illusions and flights of fancy discredit you, not me, and make your opinion all the more easy to dismiss.
