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, 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"?

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,

Venson



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.

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.
