Not sure if this was mentioned yet:

Is there really a market for a plug/battery vacuum?

Not sure how I feel about it yet. I mean who hasn't cussed the vacuum when the plug fell out but worth additional cost....

Soup question?  Is it safe or not to use this vacuum in a bathroom?

Another soup question.

I give up...Is It safe? I have the ability for rational thought and have my own conclusion....but What is your deduction?

Of course it's safe. As with battery-powered tools, drills, saws, etc., the battery option should alleviate any worries over needing to be grounded outdoors or in household situations where there's a high-moisture environment.

“Eye for detail” hardly conveys safety.  Carmine and others often criticize Dyson for not using K.I.S.S. and often nit-pick the Dyson posters comments here is his and other non-Dyson posters favorite[s] past time.  I thought it humorous to see the tired industry launch a novel or safe/er, Rube Goldberg-like vacuum and then Carmine’s observation and description does not state the obvious...  that is, the words “safe”, “safer”, “safely” are not mentioned.

Electrocution is not funny, although a nit-picking dealer who cannot succinctly promote stand-out features is.

Hello DIB:

When the most obvious has to be explained by answring questions, it loses it's effect.  But as a person who always asks soup questions, I would expect nothing more from you and you never disappoint me.

Hey Carmine,

Your practice of making the simplicity of owning, operating and maintaining a Dyson overly-complicated and overly-expensive has spilled over into your other conversations.

When it comes to introducing or talking-up safety products (I believe this Miele solves problems few have), mentioning safety and/or that it’s exclusive only to Miele seems prudent.

500 engineers made dysons complicated to use and maintain.  Not me.  MIELE is probably the simplist and easiest vacuum product on the market to brake down and repair.  IMMER BESSER.

Back in the early 60's a prototype unit of the  Model G  Electrolux came out with a receving unit in place of a cordwinder and a small sending unit you plug into the wall . As long as you were in 50 ft of the plugged in sending unit the cleaner would run.It made for an impressive showing of the unit, problem was the cost to bring it out. As I was told it would retain full power because it was not battery powered. The unit was taken out in the field in various locations in the U.S. to see people's reaction. The price at the time of the cleaner was $149.95 with the sending and receiving unit an additional $1000 +.
