What makes the vacuum cleaner inustry so important?

Since I have been coming to this site I have seen bickering about Dyson, Hoover and a few other brands. But to me it is why is this industry important and why all the different brands and models. My feeling is that they are necessary to maintain a way of life. Cleanliness, health, and just plain keeping everything nice. We started with dirt floors, went to rock and wood floors. Floors were kept up with brooms for hundreds of years. With the advent of electricity the vacuum cleaner came along with elecrtic motors. Just so you know , I am aware of the types of early sweepers from the late 1800's. So the question I put to you is why is it so important to be a bagless society of Dyson? Why Bagged? Why a particular brand over another? Give me and anyone that comes to this site some answers as to why and how is one better than another? I am watching and listening.

Got to stay in shape for the ladies  At least you wont get tired chasing them around at the spa, B.T.W tried the angus burger at mickys last night,not bad for 4 bucks but should throw in fries and coke just to sweeten the deal.I still think wendys beats them for value. Did you run summer hours when you had your shop?. I am really thinking hard about bringing some one in to take over the helm. After 37 years of this stuff it not work anymore but something to do. Know anyone that can be the next vacuum guru............... regards MOLE
HI MOLE:
Mickey D's was giving a medium drink and fries free with the Angus when it came out. Hardee's Carl Jr. got upset with the name Angus, said it copied them, and so added a Big Carl's to the menu. It's giving free medium fries and drink with purchase. I liked all 3 Angus burgers. Yes, summer hours back in the day was closing at noon to make the first races at Monmouth/Aqueduct. Then to Yonkers at night. But not every day. Only when there was a good reason. Read: Hot tip! I know 3: Me, myself and I!  Carmine D.

I will only give a short sample of the what's & whys of the issue but I could discuss for hours if so inclined.
Basically the Bagless Vacuum serves 1 main purpose and it's not to save the customer $'s on bags.
It's to fit a business model that ......"value=price". The previous business Model that "Service, Quality, Repairability, Brand Loyalty etc=Profit" does not offer QUICK ENOUGH FINANCIAL RETURN.
1 You can now sell a Vacuum in a box-no demo, no qualified sales person, no parts, no service, no repairs, no accountability. SALE boom SHORT TERM PROFIT...NEXT! You can even sell it by being a faceless entity just by posting a picture on a computer.

Amen, thanks to customers like HS and vacuum makers like dyson who cater to them and big box retailers. Take note: Circuit City: bankrupt. Linens-N-Things: bankrupt. SEARS: Tetering on bankruptcy. Most big box retailers currently: Struggling. Why? GREEDY. Carmine D.

And filters by Dyson have to be replaced eventually so there are not always 'lifetime guaranteed" again dependent largely on the matter of dust picked up per owner and their homes. This is why Dyson filters are washable but even the most washed filter can begin to lose its strength compared to one that hasn't been tainted.
No, don't think so. The HEPA pleated post motor filter with fiberglass surface on the DC07 Animal I recently repaired is not washable. It's replaceable at $40 plus bucks. The pre-motor filter on this model is washable and dyson recommends on this model every 6 months. Carmine D. Carmine, Nice try. True, the older and discontinued DC07 had choke points and choked prematurely if not maintained properly. The new Dyson’s all have washable filters - a point you hid (oops, I meant to say - overlooked). DIB
