Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Since I have been coming to this site I have seen bickering about Dyson, Hoover and a few other brands. But to me it is why is this industry important and why all the different brands and models. My feeling is that they are necessary to maintain a way of life. Cleanliness, health, and just plain keeping everything nice. We started with dirt floors, went to rock and wood floors. Floors were kept up with brooms for hundreds of years. With the advent of electricity the vacuum cleaner came along  with elecrtic motors.

Just so you know , I am aware of the types of early sweepers from the late 1800's.

So the question I put to you is why is it so important to be a bagless society of Dyson? Why Bagged? Why a particular brand over another? Give me and anyone that comes to this site some answers as to why and how is one better than another?

I am watching and listening.                                                                  Procare           54 years in the business and still going strong.

          

Hello HARDSELL:

I knew you would post.  You never let me down.  Dyson is the most hyped of all bagless brands AND the most expensive of all the big box rip off store brands.  Big box rip off stores sell them for the huge profit margins not because they sell quickly.  Have to sell alot of $40 Dirt Devil PowerGlides and $70 HOOVER Tempos to make the profit on one $600 dyson. 

Catlady got her new MIELE S7.  The holdup was the new model, a tester, and the back and forth between dealer and maker to get the wrong righted.  It was MIELE that gave Melanie the new vacuum not the dealer.   Glad I can set you straight.  It's almost a full time job with you and DIB both.

BTW, buying another XL ORECK Classic from the local ORECK store in Vegas.  Such a deal I couldn't refuse.  It's a gift too.  For the local Church parish secretary.  She's been using a HOOVER Elite that's older than you.  This will be a welcome surprise for her and the Church office.

Mostly HS it's just the dyson hype and high prices for the mediocre performance that makes the dyson brand a standout in the big box rip off stores.  No wonder James went with this sales venue over the indies. 

Vacuum buyers don't care about 500 engineers and brush cams, accentuators, clutches and cyclones.  They just want a vacuum that performs well and meets their money/household needs w/o needing a bank loan.

Its becoming very transparent to us now that by what DIB posts that dyson knows that  its game over in the states,The indy's are tired of the B.S. with dealing with this

make believe vacuum company, which in reality is just a money laundering scheme. The only avenue left is HSN and refurbs on E-BAY, Its also very obivious now that DYSON has no intentions of opening factory stores in the states,

So whens TTI going to buyout DYSON for pennies on the dollar or yen ,Its coming folks and now dib and the rest of the robber barons so called educated overly smart people will be working at the local burger king.

B.T.W Carmine, Severus,procare,and Venson will still be around when your long gone.I just might keep H.S just as a whipping boy.

ORECK and HOOVER are still in your craw?  You're getting over HOOVER if you are enjoying your bagged HOOVER Platinum lightweight.  Congrats.  It's okay for $299.  ORECK is a tad better for repairs and parts.  With 500 stores.  It builds brand loyalty and customers.  Like HOOVER use to do before it went the big box rip off route like dyson does.

Better start talking up the ORECK Clean Home Centers and vacuum store indies here.  They are the only repairers of dysons when they break down unless you want to ship it back to dyson.  WHere is that now?  UK?  Malaysia? Chicago?  NYC?  I can never remember.  Imagine!  The low life ne'er do wells that you and DIB bad mouth here so often now hold the future life blood of dyson in their hands.  James will have to make nice nice now. 

MIELE's in your craw too.  It's the German engineers. Takes 500 dyson engineers to make one MIELE engineer.  MIELE dealers are top shelf all the way.  IMMER BESSER.  80 years in the vacuum biz and still making vacuums that last 20 years before they are handed down to friends and family for round 2.

Hello Procare:

Give people 2 vacuums:  One a bagged and one a bagless and let them use both for a year.  At the end of the year ask them to give one up and keep one.  I suspect most if not all will give up the bagless and keep the bagged.  Many of those bagless vacuums that you see in the trash are probably still in working condition.  After a year, probably less, most people are sick and tired of dumping the dirt bins daily, weekly etc and all the corresponding negative consequences of dumping the bins.  Bagless vacuums have probably done more for promoting bagged vacuums than they have for bagless.  In fact quite the opposite for bagless when you add in the expense/maintenance required for bagless filters.

Mornin' Carmine,

I think that performance drop-off may contribute to the matter as well. Unless the filters on most bagless machines are tended fastidiously -- especially the pleated variety -- "out-of-the-box" performance can quickly fade. That's a cinch for getting a vacuum cleaner off to a dumpster.
