Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I didn't realize it was a true or false test.  I thought the answer was multiple choice and "all of the above."

No, the fun is watching you and then attacking what you say and represent.

Watching you try and fail miserably is fun for me too and makes me laugh!

The HOOVER basher and dyson luver but seller who now owns TWO HOOVER uprights and luvs his bagged HOOVER lightweight Platinum upright which Consumer Reports rates as top in its class tho scorning Consumer Reports in the process........perhaps as an 8/9 pound simple and easy upright to use for all surfaces, ORECK doesn't need rug and floor height settings like most full size 20 plus pound uprights with tools on board.  That should make complete sense to anyone like you who says one thing and does the complete opposite.  Oh I know, you had a twist of heart, I mean a change of heart.

Carmine D.

Thank you.

I believe going with a floating head was a genius business-move.

Hence the reason Tom G always said dyson needs a vacuum historian who can help him and dyson get it right.  While Tom and I don't always see eye to eye on vacuum matters, we do on this one.  Didn't work for HOOVER in 1963 and the company quickly added a manual rug height adjustment then self power.  Didn't work for dyson in 2002 and FINALLY after 7 years added a fingertip control that other makers already had.  Innovation?  Genius?  Quick, get that dictionary again.  Somebody changed the definition and didn't tell me.

I own only the Platinum and not two Hoover uprights.  Your NPD is still there isn't it?  CR had nothing to do with my purchase.  Owning is not luving.  It has faults like all vacs do.  It will suffice until I get the urge to push another around the home.  Did I mention that I returned Orecks because of subpar performance?  Only the inventor or a filthy home owner would be proud of an Oreck.

Remember the Platinum is not the Hoover that Dyson whooped.

Perhaps a brick or cement block placed on the Oreck would exert enough down force for it to actually be effective on carpets.  Now that makes sense.  I am not doing the opposite of what I say.  I still say that the DC07 is superior to Oreck and Hoover.  Unless you have inferior carpets or could care less about clean carpets.  No twists here.

Multi-cyclonic’s, with a full-proof nozzle arrangement guaranteed a full bin and a full bank account for Sir James Dyson.  I consider this genius.

Carmine,

You've got a "Kick Me" sign on your back, only you're slow to know it.

Tell me, if DC07 is so good why did dyson discontinue?  Why did it never rise to the level of being THE signature dyson model? 

Carmine D.

I blame most of the failure on James Dyson's ego.  Combine that with following the Hoover path of offering toooooo many new models rather than improving a good thing.

However, the DC07 put a whooping on the signature "Z" Hoover that you proclaimed would cause the demise of Dyson.  Boy those Z's sure make good boat anchors though.
