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.

          

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.

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.

Not quite HS.  My wallet cracked.  $250 on a dyson DC07 dud that didn't work.  If I were another customer, I would have taken dyson's HELPLINE advice and returned for a refund.  Then I would say:  Oops there goes another dyson DC07 pink refurb, which BTW dyson sells with a 6 month warranty for $250.  Mine, sitting in storage, still has 2 years remaining on a 5 year warranty with dyson.
