Guys: It's the oldest trick of the trade in the vacuum selling play book. The vacuum that goes last always takes more dirt out. Why? Dealt with this before here. You're just not paying attention. A rug can holds its weight in dirt and still look clean. You can never get all the dirt out. Keep going over and over the same area, with the same vacuum or different, and more dirt comes out every time.  It's how many a vacuum was sold back in the day. Good to go over these old achived tricks of trade/techniques. Just when you think everyone has heard about them, somebody proves us wrong. Carmine D.
A trick that Oreck still uses. BTW, your carpet must be very very heavy.
Strange, when the Kirby was demoed at my home the salesman had to run it for a few minutes to get dirt on the pad that they use.

ORECK had enough money to buy up halo after it failed. That was not trickery. That was cash. Wonder who'll be next? Carmine D.
The trickery is in the marketing. Build a vac for $50 or less and sell for $800. It will however perform almost as good as a $50 vacuum.
BTW, You tried to divert my comment because you know I spoke the truth.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Oh what a load of old shi*, Carmine! Do it on a hard floor and the Dyson will STILL pick up dirt left over by ANY bagged upright. In validated tests conducted by Consumer Reports, most Dysons weren't too impressive at removing dirt from carpets. While many Hoovers regularly get excellent scores for carpet cleaning (CR scores are: Excellent, Very Good, good, fair, poor), Dysons with few exceptions only get "good" scores. One notable exception is the new hard to push Dyson with air muscle technology. It actually scored "very good" (still below the standard set by the Hoover bagged Windtunnel and $60 Tempo). Given the same opportunity to remove dirt from the test rugs, the bagged Hoovers did a better job than the Dysons. If you did your test both ways, I believe the Hoover would pick up a lot more dirt that the Dyson missed than vice versa. That's not to say that your carpeting will be filthy if you have a Dyson. If you use your Dyson regularly and thoroughly, you can have clean carpeting.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.
