Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

You've been sniffing that dyson dysolv too much.  Turning your peanut brain to nut dust.  Can't have it both ways on CR HS.  Can't call it out for bad choices and then brag about dyson's reliability ratings from it.  One or the other.  Make up your mind.  BTW, HOOVER gets 6 out of the 10 top upright spots.  Dyson gets zero.  Notta.  After 8 years and as many models dyson can't get one of its products in the top 10.  Breaks your dyson heart don't it.

Like I said before.  CR ratings are a joke.  Hoover got good ratings and still went busted.  Bet ol James is glad CR left him out and did not have negative impact on Dyson sales.

Satisfied Dyson customers have sold more vacs than Clown Reports.

Get over it.  Hoover exists only in brand name. 

Though I came in for trash bags and spaghetti, I went to check out the vacuum aisle as usual and stopped not so much because there was anything new but because someone had finally unboxed one of the Navigators and left it out for display.  There was also a lady standing there looking at it so I took the machine down from the shelf (four feet off the floor) so we both could have a better look at it.  Even though we couldn't plug it in, naturally, I got to running my mouth and showed her how to use the hose, how the machine emptied and where the filters and cyclonic module were.

Regarding that matter, I took special care to inform her that though the Navigator is bagless the filters and the cyclonics module would require washing as needed.  A real surprise for me was that when I removed the container that holds the filter(s) I hadn't realized that not one but three layers of thick foam were in place. She's an apartment dweller and should be fine.  I won't lay this all on expertise -- teh price for the Navigator at my Costco was $160.  It proved quite a tempting choice against the $400 Dyson and the $298 Oreck set.  The only thing cheaper was the Hoover Dura at $134 but it was left out on display completely disheveled.

Hiya Hardsell,

That could be but I don't know.  I thought the amount of filters included was generous to say the least.   But after showing them to the woman I was speaking with and after emphasizing the importance of filter cleaning more than once she did not seem to mind.

Congrats Venson.  Just to note the dyson for $400 at COSTCO is the out of date DC14.  If yardsell did his homework he'd see that on every major feature of the lightweight Shark Navigator Pet that it meets or beats the supposed full size TOL dyson ball DC25 for $500.  But he impugns only the Shark Navigator as a narrow lightweight with small dirt bin.  At $160 for the Shark Navigator with a twice yearly filter cleaning schedule versus the 4-6 times for dyson DC25, easy and smart choice, except for HS.  He's conflicted.  Dyson is still on his mind.

SFB

It should definitely out perform Oreck. 

Oreck has a large bag that it can't fill for months (maybe a year) due to poor performance.  The Navigator has a small cup which it could likely fill in one pass behind an Oreck. 

Thanks for your continued flattery to Dyson.  The most envied brand on the market.  And the one who sucker punched old SFB.

Turdsell:

This thread is about Shark Navigator Pet but you still have ORECK stuck in your craw.

Still dazed I see.  Most threads are not about Dyson.  However, you always compare Dyson to all discussed brands.  Again, thanks for the flattery.  Dyson, the most envied vacuum ever.
