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

Thanks turtle. You might make it yet kiddo

"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. Carmine D.

As you said, primarily with color. It's cheap for them to offer many variations on the theme from low price to high. Economies of scale. Perhaps too MIELE, and canister maker for years and years, is making up for lost time. A similar but not the same comparison is my recent purchases of two new HOOVER TEMPO uprights. One the traditional Catalina blue from BEST BUY [in store purchase] for $70 and another a new white model from Kohl's at $54 [on-line]. Both perform the same. Quite well in fact for the prices. But my color preference in this particular model is for white. Carmine D. 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.
Carmine D. Get back on yur meds quickly. Nothing mentioned about pricing. The only thing cracked is your brain. Thanks to Dyson.
