Didn't you speak for Dual?  Remember you said he was speaking "rhetorically?"  Are you the only one subject to divine intervention for someone else's meaning?  It's ok for you to interpret another's posts to your way of thinking?  But you rebuke me for doing it?  And I'm using the literal interpretation of their posts not the "rhetorical."  
 
I'm still waiting for others to back your claim.

Anyone getting rich on Dyson warranty and repairs?  Bueller?
 
Carmine if you want to talk dyson repair facilities or warranty facts or specific dyson repairs I would be happy to, if you merely intend to have a grammar debate go ahead and have the last word.
If any of the names you are tossing around want to have a discussion on dyson repairs I would be happy to have it with them.  I would be willing to bet we would agree on more than we would disagree.  I understand I am in the minority of shop owners partnering with dyson at this point and I hope that lasts as long as possible.  Lets see a shop touting the fusion and z post that.

Sounds like you and Dual are cornering the market in dyson warranty and repairs.  Smart move.  I would probably repair dysons too and sell only as an accomodation for people who insisted on a bagless upright vacuum.
 
Dual is in rural Missourri outside St. Louis.  Where is your vacuum cleaner store located?
 
PS: I'll make believe you didn't drag HOOVER into this "debate."  But if you did, don't forget the new Elite.

Well, I still like my Hoover Empower, but can see that I will get pretty sick of cleaning that pleated filer!
 
Tell me about uprights with a bag, so I can just change the bag when it is full and forget about cleaning filters altogether!

I would love to tell you about a few bagged uprights.  I would recommend looking at the Riccar/Simplicity lines of vacuums, mainly because they have a good variety of good vacuums in most price ranges.  They also have the option of using Filtrete bags, wich filter better annd last longer than other bags.  My personal recommendation would be to not go with any of the models that don't have a metal bottom plate and brushroll.

Welcome back, bonelady!  Wrt bagged uprights vacs using filtrettes:
 
If the Sebo Felix we mentioned earlier is too expensive  (SEBO's are costly and will soon be more so thanks to falling US dollar):
 
The Simplicity Freedom, while one of the loudest vacs around, cleans well and is very lightweight.  But it does not use attachments.
 
Several of the Kenmore uprights use filtrette bags and were well rated by Consumers Union.
 
The Eureka Boss SmartVac is a good all round workhorse, under $200.  It does not use filtrettes, though.

About $140 retail at all the big box retailers.  A little on the heavy side.  I believe 20 pounds.  But a warrior.  And a nice size paper bag that can fill to the brim and keep on sucking.

Thanks.  I'll take a look at the Eureka.  Vacuums should not be this hard !

The May 2007 Consumer Reports features most (& least) reliable brands revealed by 950,000 readers of the products they buy and use.  The years evaluated are 2004-2006.  
 
The big vacuum winner is the EUREKA Boss Smart Vac Ultra(bagged) upright consistently selected year after year by CR as a Best Buy.  And a best seller for all the big box retailers.  At $149 before discounts it's the CR winner for price, performance, and reliability.

CR reports reliablility rates by number of contacts with a service facility.  Thus why they rate Dirt Devil and Bissell as more reliable than Riccar and Simplicity.  Many Riccar's for example go in for a free yearly tuneup and this counts as a service visit.  Many Riccar dealers simply remind customers that Riccar owners love thier Riccar's so much they bring them in for yearly check ups.  A good analogy I read from another Tacony dealer went something like:  Which pet is more loved the one brought to the Vet for a yearly checkup or the one driven to the country and abandoned at a farm after a year.  CR's "reliability" rating would say the the abandoned after a year pet is more reliable than the one kept for years as it was never taken to the Vet.
