Hybrid Vacuums
Original Message Sep 7, 2009 2:27 pm

Not sure if this was mentioned yet:

http://www.gizmag.com/miele-hybrid-vacuum-cleaner/12680/

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....

Hi Venson:Have to say, while impratical, the MIELE ad gets consumer attention. That's key.Carmine D.

Well then they should have shown her in the tub having a bubble bath after a long but eventful day's work with her Miele in the foreground of course. If that won't sell 'em, what will?

Best,

Hi Venson, Lucky1 et al:

Note MIELE's eye for detail. Shows a young attractive women in her house robe in bare feet cleaning the bath room of all places. The last and worse place for an electrical appliance like a vacuum to be used. IMMER BESSER.

What are you trying to convey - "eye for detail"?

Vacuuming is still work. But the key to advertisng is to make vacuuming look effortless. Now if that were a MIELE robotic, I think you are on to something with your ad idea.

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

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.
