The Electrolux Pronto 2 in 1 stick hand held bagless for $99 comes with a 2 year product warranty also.

wrt root 6 handheld;
 
1.  How much more airflow than the new crop of hand vacs (many of which now have 16 - 18 volt batteries) ?
 
2.  How loud  (cars are confined spaces and tend to "focus" noise back at the user), compared to other hand vacs?
 
The 5 minute run time is a bummer, given many portables can elk out 10 - 15 minutes per charge.

Hello Chris:
 
I saw the HSN listing about 30 minutes of dyson innovations and the DC16.  I did not watch the DC16 demo.  How did it go?
 
Did you watch the 30 minutes segment on the DC07 Low Reach for $399, with extra tools, the play dyson, and 5 flex payments of $79.95.  Free S&H, and money refund through January 8, 2007.  
 
If you did, what did you think?  Did you catch the dyson HSN misinformation/technical inconsistencies?  Did you catch a glimpse of the dyson brushbar after picking up the different types of pet hairs? When the gentleman lifted up the brush nozzle head to show the self-adjusting feature, the camera segued very briefly on the brushbar.  Not a pretty sight.  Tactical demo error on TV.

Carmine,
 
I missed most of the DC07 demo but that guy didn't do bad at all. They sold over 8,000 and most likely sold over 10,000 by midnight.  
 
Next segment was the Hoover Floor Cleaner and the host of the show talked about the Dyson throughout the Hoover Demo. I know that Hoover rep was pissed off.

Carmine,

Chris:
 
Here's a short list of the misinformation/technical inconsistencies by HSN in the airing of the dyson DC07 Low Reach TV promo:
 
HSN dyson sales rep never identified the dyson model as the "Low Reach," instead saying only dyson and/or DC07.
 
The DC07 Low Reach comes with a 5 Year Warranty not 2, like the HSN dyson TV sales rep said in the promo.  The ONLY dyson upright with a 2 year warranty is the exclusive model made for Wal*Mart for $378.  (The timing of the HSN dyson TV sales promo will take away sales from the Wal*Mart DC07 Original).
 
Dyson has been in the USA since April 2002, over 4 years, not 2 years like the HSN dyson sales rep said in the TV promo.
 
The HSN scematics used to demo and explain the dyson root 8 technology suction is for the DC14 models not the DC07.  They are different.
 
Of course, the brushbar/brush nozzle head faux pas.  Bad timing for showing the self-adjusting floating dyson head.  Right after the pet hair pick up on the rug.  TV viewers got a good look (though brief) at the pet hair and rug wrapped around the dyson brushbar after just a few passes on the rug with the DC07.  No doubt the reason Consumer Reports and Which? retooled their pet hair pick up tests in 2006 to measure the pet hair in the dirt bin before and after rug cleaning.
 
All the information provided about the dyson Animal play dyson was correct, EXCEPT ONE.  The Low Reach trim colors are different than the Animal.  Low Reach is bright red and deep purple.  The Animal is gray and light purple.  They don't look alike!  Now we know what's being done with the dyson play toy leftovers from the 2005 Holiday season dyson promo.
 
Moral of the dyson TV sales promo:  There's BS in the TV vacuum sales promo's too just like the BBS vacuum cartons.   Smiley
 
Nice website, I hadn't seen it. Thanks

HS:
 
ORECK's 40 plus years in the US vacuum industry as the leader for lightweight upright vacuums is a very rare form of BS.  The kind that radiates a 14 carat glow.
 
Dyson has 4 plus years in the US vacuum industry and apparently its TV promo reps (TWO) can't get that right!      Shocked and  embarrassed  
 
Dyson and its reps should be ashamed of themselves to make a mistake like that on national TV.  It undermines the credibility of the dyson company people and its products.
