Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Correct: "was."  As in a fad that soon fades.  Bagless have come and gone through the years in the vacuum industry.  Being wildly popular and then waning.  Your fave brand joined the ranks of the ones that came before.

Bagless is consumer cheap.  Ideal for sticks and hand helds and shop vacs.  Full size use and the dirt bin dumping is a nuisance.  You went from the DC07 bagless to a bagged royal.  Just as Procare and other indies see in their business. 

Bagless initially still cost as much as the bagged vacs in the stores that carry them.  They are cheaper as you say because no bags to buy.  Actually it took 2 bagged vacs to replace the DC07.  Procare said a dozen bagless.  I will bet that he repaired/cleaned/serviced  considerably more bagged during that time.

By trash talking bagged vacuums from the starting gate and still to elevate his own bagless brand, James thumbed his nose at a majority of the vacuum consumers and market.  All experts warn of the negative effects of bagless and bin dumping on peoples' health.  James would have to swallow alot of crow to enter the mainstream bagged market now.  Probably too late for him at this point.

Hoover thumbed their nose at James when he approached them and he busted them.  Hoover already ate all the crow.  You also ate crow for bad recommendations on Dyson .

Give credit to the bagged vacuum brands that coexisted with the bagless.  They had the eye on the prize.  James was too egotistic and haughty to coexist.  Like his zealous supporters he thought his overpriced overhawked and hyped bagless would run the competition out of business.  His thinking backfired.  They are prospering and he is drowning.

Hoover was the egotistical / greedy one. Sir James got revenge when he forced them to sell.  Hoovers thinking is what backfired.  Ask the former Hoover employees how they are enjouing their prosperity.

When I spoke of these dozen bagless that people said not to fix is not saying some others didn't get theirs fixed but almost everyone said when they bought new they were going back to bagged.The  only one to benifit is the Independents that carry them. As I recall the average number of bagless sold in the U.S. was 30% and is declining.  A Dyson was put out in the trash by a lady down the street yesterday. A DC-25 Ball.

An appropriate place for it.  I've seen the same with dysons too in the trash.  And the cartons too with the dysons.  Oops there goes another recycled dyson.

I recall a certain dyson poster [no longer posting here] saying that the day he sees a dyson sold at yard sale and/or tossed in the garbage is the day he would die of a heart attack.  I told him I hope that his soul makes it to Heaven before the devil finds out he dead.

HI CARMINE

around here .....he woulda been gone a long time ago. ..pawn shops , yard sales , trash bin,......piled up behind service counter at wally.

HS:

Ask the former dyson buyers/owners who leave their dysons unclaimed in vacuum repair shops because they can't afford/don't want to spend the money to repair their overpriced dyson bagless vacuums, how they are enjoying flushing $500 down the toilet.  Oops there goes another refurb/recycled dyson.

Hardsell, In your remark about me scrounging thru trash is an insult. I have no need to go thru somebody's trash for business. Business is good thank you. Both in sales and repair.  Those bagless vacs that no one wanted fixed have been trashed (R ECYCLED ). I don't resell them. A few of the Dysons have been made into birdfeeders. Others have been put aside for spare parts.  Most given on trade $25.
