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 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.

HS: Again for benefit and the umpteenth time: One of the major reasons for the DC07 pink purchase was directly due to the $45 dyson/TARGET donated on each sale to the Susan G. Komen cancer foundation. BTW, the woman who conceived the foundation years ago, was recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor at a White House ceremony. So contrary to your post, and despite the overwhelming failings of dyson's pink DC07 on my carpets and the gawdawful ratcheting noises that drove my Wife and dog out of the house, it was a bright purchase, not just in color. When your fave HELPLINE told me to return the product to the retailer, I said I couldn't do that because it would rescind the $45 donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Not much she could say to that comment. On a bright note, my granddaughter likes the color and calls the dyson, sitting in a spare guest bed room in my daughter's home unused, papa's vacuum.

Carmine D. Oh come on Carmine, you’ve got this pink DC07 “nailed to your families floor” only so you can refer to it and fail it out (in conversations). - Not unlike some con men independents that have beat up Dyson’s “nailed to their sales floors.” FYI, older DC07’s are a favorite “nailed to the floor” “whippin boy” amongst the seedy independents.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

DIB,
So if I understand correctly, you are saying that some independent stores have Dyson DC07 demo machines in their showrooms ,so that the customer has the opportunity to make a head to head comparison of their products to the Dyson. And how is that a bad thing? I mean how is it bad for the consumer? What's seedy is creepy people like you taking pot shots at small business owners and their employees. A small business doesn't stay in business long if they don't treat their customers fairly. It is clear that you have no idea how to run a successful business. These business owners have to work their butts off to compete with big box stores. You can admire James Dyson for his inventions without falling in love with him.

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.
