Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Yes, DIB and its made by the same company that makes the 2 wheel barrow for LOWE's: Jackson.  Back to the beginning.  The upshot of the ballbarrow is a 2 wheel barrow with 2X the capacity as the ballbarrow and less expensive in price.

Thank you.

Poster's Note: Response to DIB who posted a picture of a Jackson one wheel barrow here on the thread.  Subsequently moved.

BTW, DIB I got you so mixed up you posted on the wrong thread.  Or perhaps, you did so intentionally since you can't dispute the facts I posted on either, so you revert to confuse the issues!  Good dyson strategy.

Poster's Note:  DIB moved the post to the correct thread.  Dazed by the overwhelming volume of facts about wheel barrows that I provided to him, he posted responses on the wrong thread.

That is like any repairman who quit in 1992.  So much more technology in a few years that you are lost.  OTH, Dyson is the only new technology in vacuums. 

I know about the consulting.  Dyson shoved a vac up your sitter and you still have trouble sitting. Where you used to sit you now have to stand.

Well HS you know what us old vacuum independents alwys say:  IF YOU DON'T STAND FOR SOMETHING, YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING.  How's that working for you and DIB?

DIB,

In reading about the statement "Never Loses Suction" , I see a big error and that is all cleaners can say they never lose suction . If you seal the suction of any vacuum with an inches of waterlift gage it will read the same reading everytime full of dirt or not. That is how Filter Queen had shown people no loss of suction in their bagless vacuum for years.

Dyson shows 250 Airwatts on the DC-14 , 220 Airwatts DC-17 , 135 Airwatts DC-24,  220 Airwatts DC-25 ( the ball) , and 245 Airwatts  DC-28. That was the suction of many cleaners back in 1990. Today there are machines with much more than that. Aren't you regressing a bit ?

Hello Procare:

Welcome.  I agree and add that the filter maintenance [washing in tap water with 24 hours plus for dry time] on dyson's latest and greatest DC28 is 3 months for for pre/final filters.  Regressed here too from the 6 or more months previous cleaning schedules for dysons.  I suspect the reduction in suction power requires more frequent filter cleaning to allow normal operation.  With an increase in price too.  $600.

  The DC-28 sounds like it is not made for the American carpets.With the pneumatic acuator and STIFF brushes going deeper into the pile a couple of things would happen.  ONE ) The carpet would be frayed in a year's use and  TWO) airflow would be deminished because of the seal it would cause. Our carpets, the majority have a plastic moisture barrier to keep water from going through because of hot water extraction. In the earlier carpets they breath due to jute back carpeting. That is why older Kirby s could seal to the floor and clean , today they need air openings to let airflow.

Procare,

How do you think NAD would respond to the old Filter Queens (rep’s) claims of "No loss of suction" if advertised today?  Today FQ does not advertise this claim, because scientifically it’s old practices and claims (you describe) can be proven false. The vac world had and still has plenty of con men.

When you compare today's Dyson’s to other vacuums, you failed to mention that paper media or like vacuums quickly choke/d and their advertised performance dropped (suction drop).  Why did you not mention this?

The masses agree with Dyson, that is, they know all filter media clog and loose performance/huge performance loss.  The sack N choke dealers and sack N choke enthusiast can kick and scream about Dyson all they want, but the manufacturers they favor or represent can’t do a dam thing about it.  They can’t prove their sacks don’t choke and can't prove their products don’t loose performance.  Since Dyson launched in 2002 sack N choke manufacturers have not taken advantage of the powerful and mighty NAD to stop Dyson's claims.  Why?  Promoting sack N choke vacuums as new and exciting is regressing a bit, don't you think?

DIB:

Why are dyson dealers discounting DC28's already, just a month into the launch?  At one time, dyson was adamant about maintaining MSRP on the latest and greatest.  What's happening now?  Price wars so soon on the DC28?  HSN claiming falsely it has exclusive sales on the new dyson airmuscle technology and selling for $599.  Dyson bull shined HSN?  Dealers are discounting the airmuscle for $509-$529.  Is this dyson approved?  How will this sit with HSN buyers who pay $599 under false pretenses and claims only to find that other retailers are selling cheaper?  Can you answer these questions?  Careful.  No half truths and lies allowed here by order of your twin HS.
