Carmine,

When did Oreck start offering height adjustment? Oh yes, when they introduced the HALO. Are you saying for more than 40 years Oreck has been peddling a failed concept?

Hmm,

Hello Trebor:

HOOVER Dials and Powers are full size all metal based heavy vacuums.  The Dials struggled on mid-high level carpets with their high powered suction and no rug adjustments.  Hence HOOVER added the adjustments and then transmissions.

ORECK on the other hand at less than 8 pounds fares well on most all rugs low to high.  However, note from my posts here that I give the HOOVER lightweight bagged Platinum better grades for higher carpets than ORECK and ORECK better grades for lower.  As I pointed out, no vacuum is perfect for all scenarios.

Carmine,

The biggest problem with the Dial-a-Matic Hoovers was the too narrow hose into the housing.

The Panasonics, Riccars, and Simplictys do well without a height adjustment. What made the Hoover dials problematic?

Hi Trebor:

Biggest problem[s] for the Dials:  I can think of a few:  The "floating head" in concert with full suction on med-high rugs; the handle breakage at the top of the bag compartment housing; the smallish plastic motor mount under the vacuum that breaks from hard pushing/pulling on rugs; the electrical plug connection in the handle that comes undone; the small dust bag, to name a few.  Not a perfect vacuum despite it's technologicl advance of 2 vacuums in 1: upright and tools.

Panasonics, RICCARS, and SIMPLICITY uprights, all post HOOVER Dial, don't use a "floating head nozzle" [reused by dyson in DC07 and 14 models] that drops down into the medium and high pile carpets.  Making them hard to push and pull.  Like I said, a failed concept from 4 decades ago quickly corrected by HOOVER with rug height adjustments and automatic transmissions..
