If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

What is CR thinking. The Royal is one of the best because i own it.  Seriously, It is an OK vacuum, however, I do not get a warm fuzzy feeling that it deep cleans. It does make the carpet look well groomed. Sounds like an Oreck doesn't it. I really liked my test drive of the Platinum bagged at Sears. I plan to purchase on this week for a test in the home, Sure wish I could sell the Kirby (and the Royal). I ain't parting with the Rainbow. Hopint that you have a good day. Mayve repair some Orecks.
Hardsell,
Is it safe to assume that you think your Rainbow does a pretty good job of removing dirt from carpeting? I really have a hard time believing that the Rainbow is the worst vacuum for cleaning carpeting among all vacuums tested by CR. It seems so counterintuitive given that Rainbows are sold by in home demonstrations (certainly with some trickery), but they have to wow the buyer enough to spend an obscene amount of money.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Hi 'turtle1'

Carmine,
I like doing battle with you here (mostly) and want to encourage you to keep using “paraphrasing, I believe, I think, if my memory serves me, etc.” vice “you said” only. Many times you misquote me and it’s tiring, it’s not ideal for getting a responding post. So keep it up (only quote if you can produce my words and in context, and demonstrate the date of my posts). You recently posted (suggested) I did not like independents, which is false. I do indeed like independents, I loath the dishonest ones (there’s lots of em).
Do you have a point? When we’re in a recession, people spend less. Pre-recession, Dyson did $1b - $1.5b annually. Not bad for a backyard inventor, eh.
Perhaps Dyson should make a donation to the CR “can’t make it’s monthly nut fund” to insure a higher ranking/fair ranking.
Indeed the pathetic, low-life, dishonest indie/s not making enough money off Dyson products (per item) is an issue. When Dyson reinvents the lowly vacuum cleaner, receives high reliability ratings, and then the bottom-feeder indie con bad-mouths the Dyson, ONLY so to make more money selling their exclusive and much higher margin (than Dyson) vacuums, is an issue. Even if Dyson “kissed up” to these indie’s (had Miele-like margins and bag/belt sales/service sales), these “victims” still cannot get past their jealousy of Dyson. Although, Dyson could get them into counseling or some other self-help program. - Maybe the dual-persona poster here could get some help too.
DIB No service center or dealers for DYSON around......would all this not be avoided if james were to put these into play ? Whats to stop this from happening? So since hes doing so well in our current economy....why not get it done and avoid indys all together?Why not free shipping for dyson owners ....during wrty repairs? REALITY..without the indys ,dyson is dead in the water.... dyson needs them. they dont need him. dyson put himself in this situation..and now must deal with it...that or do the dealer/srvc cent thing....but he wont.....wonder why that is DIB?......the only one with issues is dyson......your a nobody to dyson ,you dont exist in dyson land....so why do you care whos or how many butts hes gonna have to kiss to stay alive.....are you gonna be beside him puckered up and ready for work....are you gonna be the one he calls when all comes crashing down...bottom line dib-when a dyson breaks-send it back to dyson for repair....or one of his many dyson service/dealer centers...problem solved.......and no more bad indys to deal with.
