Hello Lucky1: If HS is honest with you he'll tell you that several years ago, when the Electrolux canns made the CR top rankings, he wanted to buy from BEST BUY and asked my opinion offline. I told him the Eureka lux canns were okay but to wait and shop for the sales or buy the Intensity lightweight upright. Shortly afterward, his man dyson filed a grievance against Eureka lux Intensity for claiming it outcleaned/outperformed a DC14 by 50 percent. With the ASA obviously because dyson is there. There are mixed interpretations of the ruling but basically James went home with his head down. Which I suspect is the same position HS is holding his head now after reading this post. BTW your commentary on the changes in the economy and retailers being flexible with their inventory holdings and products in order to survive and flourish is absolutely brilliant. My compliments and kudos. Carmine D.
Why would I lie? My name is not Carmine. I asked the question same as others have asked opinions.
Why would I have my head hung down? No skin off my rear like Dyson took off yours.

And HS, since you asked me like a gentleman, I answered you like one. Are you seeing the correlation? If you ask really nice I'll even answer your ORECK question. And I guarantee you the answer will get stuck in your craw.

Anyone read/hear about the Electrolux [Eureka-lux] with the burnt out power head/wand contacts under warranty? Covered on channel 7 news. Very interesting. Owner paid $281 for the Oxygen from a big box retailer. Contacts failed under warranty. Owner calls Electrolux and it assures him its covered under warranty. Owner brings into an Indy, who says H-E-double hockey sticks NO WAY. Bring it back where you bought it. THE BIG BOX RIP OFF STORE. BBS says SORRY. Owner goes to Channel 7 Investigation Reports for remedy. Indy says NO WAY NO HOW I didn't sell it and I ain't warrantying it. Channel 7 goes to ELECTROLUX-EUREKA LUX who sent owner a new Oxygen. HAPPY CUSTOMER. The end until it happens again. Carmine D.
