Hello Procare: Your post about the Lux and letting dyson go last and getting hardly anything out coincides with Severus' post. A HOOVER up would pull more out going last than a dyson would pull out going last. Of course, as Severus says if you stay at it long enough with a dyson EVENTUALLY a DC14 would get some more out. Perhaps 14/15 passes. Maybe 27/28 passes back and forth. Maybe that's how dyson picks model numbers. But dyson's especially the models discontinued now are equipped with wimpy brush rolls [I mean bars]. James must have had a technological innovatively lazy hour when it came to the old style dyson brush bars.  Carmine D.
As you know I had a DC07 and a Hoover Fusion at thr same time. The Dyson beat it every time. The dirt was weighed on extremely accurate pharmacy scales.
The Orecks are embarrased to put a number on all but the XL21. It has to be run 21 times a week to get a bare minimum of dirt out of carpets. The others have to be used so many times they chose to elkiminate the number. XL = Xtremely Long time to vacuum.

SEVERUS: A very savvy poster here once wrote that the HOOVER uprights are the gold standard of carpet cleaning and grooming. Consumer Reports gets it right on this one. Carmine D. A not so savy poster also once told Hoover that Dyson would never sell. Look what it cost him.

Hello Lucky1 I would never ever pay ORECK $300,000 for a franchise. I'd take the money and buy a building. Why be at the mercy of any brand and pay them for it. It doesn't make sense. If I want to be my own boss [and I that's largely the reason I went in the business], why would I ever buy a brand's franchise? I never signed a business contract with any vacuum brand maker in 42 years. I was an authorized sales and service dealer for 4 major vacuum brands. We did business based on an handshake, or we didn't do business. My store, my rules. If they didn't agree, I thanked them, and I showed them the door. Carmine D.

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...

Carmine, Earlier you stated that the last cleaner gets more dirt. Ther have been a few instances that I let the owner have the last vacuuming and had a clean bag or bin and they hardly pulled anything. A few times customers said they vacuumed before I came had new bag or bin and wasn't getting anything. One was a two month old Dyson DC- 14 and one was a new Filter Queen and I really dug the dirt out and shocked the customers. Tri Star told a customer that they could clean the whole house and no one would pull anything behind them. When I went in to demo , they were still there and I beat him out. He tried everything in the book to show me and my trainee up but failed. He had a new man with him. Tried to sell her a new scratched unit and failed. Delivered a new machine next day. I told her and showed her what it would do and didn't cut the other man down. Hired the Tri Star trainee and trained him . Good honest salesman today. I tell people about the so called trick of the trade because I will always pull far more dirt after them . When I go to another area i ask them to go behind me They hardly pull anything. Procare
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Cant think of a solitary fan that would be more expensive than Dyson? What about ceiling fans? In the UK the prices start at £40 and go all the way to £400. Id be interested to see what kind of power the Dyson fan has in terms of air speed/thrust, and secondly even though they don't show it, what level of dust the Dyson incurs when it is used? With bladeless technology that the eye can't see, standard fans often get dusty and end up churning the dust off the impellers back into the room. Surely those with health allergies would appreciate something like the Dyson fan, but again I'm speculating as I'm not too sure what would happen if dust builds up / or if Dyson intends to fit a filter.
Hi vacmanuk, Ceiling fans here price more according to style. My local Home Depot carries them at varying prices as low $70 and over the $200 mark. This summer I searched for a window-mounted 20" or 22" whole house fan and the one brand and model I liked priced lowest at $188. Depending on where you looked, the price for the same thing rose as high as $400. I'll be curious to learn how they price off-season as it would seem that the first line of business is to gouge -- pardon me, I meant to say sell at what the market will bear. Venson
