Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

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.                                                                  Procare           54 years in the business and still going strong.

Carmine, regardless of you ego you do not know what most others need.  In your opinion who re teh few that need a $700 vac.

I have benefited from extended warranties and $19 is a cheap insurance policy.  YMMV, however again you can't speak for all.
Your $150 Oreck is not recommended for non carpeted floors.  If you keep the vacuum the gifts are not free.  If you take the special pricing you do not get the canister. Of course you can get it for $150 pushing the price back to $300 or more.  Seems to me that the idiots are the ones who owned products from a failed company then in desperation grabbed an overrated product without question.

I vacuum every 4 3/4 days yet the Oreck left a lot of dirt in the carpet.  IF your 5 day theory is correct then I have been right all along.  The world does not revolve around you and products have to fit the user needs.  Not yours.

Use your advice sparingly.  Are you forgetting that past anti Dyson advice already made you look like a monkey?

Your name should be HARDHEAD not HARDSELL.  You just don't get it. 

Again HS, I've posted before who would be the likely buyers of the $735 ORECK.  Go back and read it if you are inclined.  I'm growing weary of educating you.  You don't read and comprehend. 

WRT to $19 extended service warranty, you sold your dyson before the warranty kicked in.  You said so.  You paid $19 for the 2 years dyson warrantied the product.  Not very smart.  In fact, I have a sign waiting for you. 

ORECK's not recommended on barefloors?  Says who.  Post it here.  I'm curious to know your sources beside dyson advertisments. I have predominantly tile floors and ORECK is my first vacuum of choice for cleaning them daily.  I have to.  No choice.  Dog that sheds year round and a dear Wife allergic to the hair and dander.  $150 bucks over 2 1/2 years old and still head and shoulders over the DC07 pink for $250 after discounts cash rebates and incentives.

Why not refresh my memory on who needs a $735 vac.

Who wants to use ther auto, life and health insurance?  Should we simply decline to carry insurance because we may not need it?

Two Oreck stores and the Oreck district manager told me they do not recommend using a single speed Oreck on wood and tile floors.  I inquired about an Oreck on Craigs List.  The seller said he had installed wood floors and since Oreck does not recommend single speed on them he was selling.

How many times do I have to repeat.  I used a DC07 for 3 years with absolutely no problems.  Cleaned where the Oreck failed. One more time.  The world does not revolve around you and your usage.  Venson even admits that the Miele is not for all (probably not for most).  Why doesn't he use Oreck?

Do you know the name of the ORECK district manager.  Message it to me here/offline. I want to talk to him.  Most ORECK store managers say the ORECK two speeds are not needed except in rare cases.  Are you sure you understood correctly??  I don't think so!

BTW, the HOOVER bagged Platinum is 2 speed.  I didn't care for the low speed.  It's a selling feature but I suspect not used by most buyers/users.  These vacuums don't have strong enough motors to warrant a low speed.  Not even the new HOOVER bagged.  If they did, they'd have attachments on board. 

SInce you want to change your story again about your dyson:  Then you paid $19 for one year, rather than 3 years.  Still not very smart.  Sign is still available IN BOLD PRINT. 

I don't believe that you bought a new dyson from BB.  Never did.  I said and still say you got a free dyson refurb from a poster here and resold it to get the proceeds to buy your Royal bagged model, and an Indy store brand. 

I won't refresh your memory on ORECK.  Sorry HS you're out of luck.  Too much ego and not enough sense.  Not my job to educate and worse reeducate the obtuse.  Do a search and read it if you are inclined.  Or better still ask the ORECK district manager.  Get it right this time, please.

The point HARDSELL that you miss all the time when you talk about an $800 ORECK is that YOU don't have to buy it.  Nor anyone else.  Or do you have to buy the $299 ORECK with the freebies.  You and others have the option to buy the upright solo for $150-199 depending on the sale/discount.  Or buy used for $25-$50.

Hey,

I really dont see any problem with the oreck on bare floors,any kind,wood,tile,pergo etc.Doesnt oreck have the corner brushes and plastic strip behind the brush roll just for this purpose?

I would be inclined to say the oreck stores/salespeople say this just to upsell to the upright canister combo.

The oreck by itself is just basically rug cleaning, Take it out unwrap the long cord and vacuum your carpets maybe hit the flooring inadvertanly and get the job done.

The 2 speeds are just fluff, its not a 2speed motor its the switch that has a diode or resistor in it to slow it down.

Why must this get so complicated? most people dont like to vacuum its as much fun as mowing your lawn.

So is it safe to say that dyson done fleecing the consumers in the USA.

"Turtle1" is on the path and making the journey.  It's you HS that's lagging behind and lacking the industry wherewithal.  Buying from big box retailers, paying more than you should for products with extending warranties that are worthless and retailer money makers.  Maybe 'Turtle1" should adopt you and take care of you and how you spend your money.
