“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.  DIB
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. Carmine D.

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. DIB

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 +.</p><p> Procare
Hi procare, It's a shame they didn't continue working on the idea. People are now looking to bring it back. The correct terminology escapes me just this minute but the possibility of wirelessly run appliances is being explored. I don't know whether there are safety issues as some claim that there are health threats in exposure to magnetic fields, etc. Best, Venson

I vacuum my bathroom floor all the time before mopping or steam cleaning. I also use the vacuum to dust the top of light fixtures, the mirror, the woodwork on the window and door. Nonetheless, I do not vacuum the sink counter. Please note that I also first check to be sure there is no moisture on the floor or under my old-fashioned footed tub before I begin. I am not worried over electrical shock as much as I am about messing up the vacuum. Venson

Venson Hi procare You just taught me something thanks Do you remember the transmitter that music and sound tried to market for its central systems,it eliminated the low volt wire run along the tubing, I believe it mounted on the hose handle. It sounded like a good set up but i never heard of any one using or even selling this device.Maybe they are tucked away somewhere in some warehouse,I think the biggest obstacle was that the signal would not go through concrete. regards MOLE
