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...

bagless kirby conversion

I'm not very impressed with the design, but there's a guy who offers a way to convert Kirbys from bag to dirt canister.  Unfortunately, it doesn't offer dual cyclone or better technology.  It looks like you clean the pleated filter after every use.  I think I'd rather pay for bags than this gimmick.

I guess if you use a $2000 Rainbow to pick up water in your boat and paint your vehicle, it's logical for you to use a $400 HOOVER Z as an anchor.

I did not pay close to $2000 for the Rainbow.  Using a Z for anything other than a vacuum is logical.  BTW, are you LOGICALLY using gasoline with nitrogen in it?

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. 


Hardsell,

There's no failure and there is no ego and there is no following Hoover.  Instead, since 2002 Sir James gave the industry suits an education and handed their asses to them.  Smaller men would indeed develop a big ego, but not Sir James.

Here here.  Sir James for Prime Minister.  If he can do all this for the vacuum industry, he's worth a shot at prime minister.  Perhaps the ego would even help.

Oh Carmine, you’re still reeling from my “Kick Me” comment.  I thought it was hilarious and fitting.

Sir James is not going to be Prime Minister, but instead hes been asked to be the UK’s innovation Point-Man.

P.S.  Is it true...  Nevada residents get a free ride (do not pay state tax) by all the money made by the countless strip clubs and legalized whoring that's in and near the beautiful Las Vegas - baby!

My how you flatter yourself with your own praise.  No wonder you do not call Sir James an egotist, you are a bigger one than he.

Why do you consider this a "free ride"?   Do you think government is entitled to your money?

When Carmine criticizes real-men while hunkering down under a tax shelter (the Las Vegas whorehouses and drink to get drunk beverage industry) one has to ask...  what the hell is this guy doing giving business advise to a self-made billionaire.

Dib-ster:

Hoping they listen, follow the advice and stay one [Sir James is now at the multi-millionaire level] and even better become multi-billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.  Again let me suggest to you Jon Huntsman's book:  Winners never cheat. 

Once again:  Success is never about the amount of money one amasses.  Those who think so, like you, have it all wrong. 

PS:  I know or those who were less than one third the age of your idol when they made their claims to fame in the vacuum industry [many of whom are dead now but not all].  They didn't by lawyering up.  Your leader would do well if he could have had/take their advice.

One can only wonder how things would have been different had Hoover, Electrolux, Kirby, or Oreck purchased the rights to produce vacuums with Dyson technology.    I wonder how much Oreck would have charged for a "Dyson/Oreck" vacuum.

I believe that Hoover was offered the technology and was advised against it.  I wonder who gave that advice?
