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.

          

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.

"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.

My Dyson came from a big box.  All the others that I kept were purchased from indies.

I proved yesterday that you are a hypocrite. Read the red that was posted,  A quick search will show you as making hundreds of posts promoting big box stores. 

You are a disgrace to the profession.

Thanks HS;  I thought I paid $75 for the BB Tempo and I rounded to say $55 for the TEMPO form Kohl's making my average cost $65.  But you corrected me: I paid $70 for the BB HOOVER.  Brings my cost on both to $62. 

I promote the Indies, I tolerate the big box stores.  Always like to know what the bbs are selling and saying.  So I can gauge the idiocy quotient of the big box store manufacturers who let them sell their wares.  I say that with a huge smile on my face because I'm cracking up on the inside.
