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.

If you click on the "Read Reviews" it will take you to the W*M Web Site. If you click on the "Watch Video" above the HOOVER decal there is a 5 minute video demo with the features and specs. Enjoy.

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. I think Rainbow does a very good to excellent job of cleaning carpets. Certainly did better than others that I have used that are rated high by CR. I would have to rate Oreck the lowest that I have used for deep cleaning. I have used several that did a good job of cleaning, however they had other faults that I did not like. I have said many times that CR must not test in the same manner that folks actually vacuum. Two biggest strikes against Rainbow would be price and the hassle required to clean and store. I actually do not like cannisters of any brand. None is better at trickery than Kirby. Maybe Carmine.

HS:
ORECK's have to be used daily/almost daily for the most efficiency and effectiveness as a standalone upright. That's their forte. Quick and easy to pull out and use often. That's why they are used in hotels and motels! If you don't use ORECK's daily, then plan to have a full size deep cleaner like a HOOVER for your weekly vacuuming. Especially with medium to high pile carpets. And use your ORECK for the high traffic areas and/or ad hoc clean ups in between the weekly HOOVER vacuuming. I'm almost positive I've said that many times here before. I know you don't read and comprehend very well: Ref: Your misunderstanding of BEST BUY ESP and product replacements. WRT trickery, if telling the truth is your view of trickery, then you are absolutely right. No maybe's about it.  Carmine D.

Hi 'turtle1' As the saying goes, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. HS did. Jumped ship [HMS dyson] before it sank. Carmine D. I haven't actually come around and I haven't jumped ship any more than Carmine. The DC07 did beat'em and closed Hoover as we knew it. Things change. Otherwise I would not consider Hoover. I am not a die hard fan of the newer Dysons although I think they are better than some lead others to believe. The Platinum is Hoover in name as the old Hoover only changed model names with no improved performance. I wanted to like the Oreck because it was so easy to use. If it cleaned like the DC07 I might be using it today. Oreck (IMO) is the most over priced vacuum on the market. The Platinum has that Oreck feel, however, I believe it will be superior at cleaning. It is priced reasonably and should be a hit seller because of its performance and six year warranty. Not because it is sold with gimmicks and hyped advertising.
I know there is a life preserver left becuase Carmine did not take his when I offered and he sank with Hoover. Now he is holding to the Oreck anchor and sinking, turtle, I liked the cleaning ability and quality of the Rainbow. Hated to clean it and put it away with all the tools, hoses, etc. I am not a fan of cannisters.
