BTW, this is about the third time INFINITY has been used for a vacuum cleaner name. I do not think they are thinking hard enough.

Hello Mike:

Maybe EP is trying to appeal to a very young movie going vacuum market: EP is a contender in the US vacuum market.

"INFINITY...........and beyond!"

Is the Infinity's motor visible through the front grille (like the cheaper and loud dirt devil motors are) or did EP enclose it?

It now reads that the felt and the cottom filter should be cleaned every Five months and the final HEPA filter should be cleaned every THREE years. I reversed the figures.

The new one cyclone bagless version will carry a price tag of about $100. The likely venue will be Wal-Mart stores. Carmine D.

The new Dirt Devil is a very poor excuse for a vacuum cleaner. Like the twin cyclone Reaction, it's a terrible machine that doesn't clean the carpets well and clogs the filters almost immediately. I bought a Reaction at K-Mart the day they came out, took it home and sucked up fireplace ashes. The filter clogged out before one cup (8 ounces) had been sucked up. Compared to the DC17 Absolute (which didn't clog the filter after 64 ounces had been sucked up), the Reaction is a Horrible vacuum. I took the machine back, filthy, the next day for a total refund. What a waste of money for the consumer, like virtually all dirt devil machines. Seems like we ALL know this (except for Carmine - who doesn't know anything at all).

Dual:

I recall you said the exact same about the HOOVER Fusion at Wal-Mart over one year ago. Then Sam's Club added the HOOVER Fusion Plus, which you said was HEPA rated and we knew it was not.

BTW Sam's Club in N. Las Vegas has the HOOVER Fusion Plus for $109. They are flying off the shelves (even with the recent CR admonition).

Somehwere in a remote desolate location untraversed by the buying public and miles away from the vacuum displays are the dyson DC14 vacuums for $459. Not a one is selling even with the new 5 year warranty. I expect the DC14 will go the same route as the DC15 at Sam's Club. Going once, going twice, drop the price lower, lower, lower, and then gone forever. Terrible store venue for dyson. What was dyson thinking?

The dyson shelf space in N. Las Vegas was cleared to be used for the extra orders of HOOVER Fusion Plus vacuums, which Sam's Club expects to completely sell out at the new lower price. Excellent venue for HOOVER Fusions. My sense is the DD ACTION will compete head to head with the HOOVER Fusion at Wal-Mart, which is breaking vacuum cleaner sales records for Wal-Mart stores. Excellent venue.

I tend to expect this from Dirt Devils. I have to agree with Dual here, but I have to also add that I feel this way about all low end bagless vacuums, not just Dirt Devil.

Always the lowest price. Wal Mart and Sam's shoppers are seeking bargains, not quality. Once again you did not explain why all those Spewsions are selling so well.

Low end always outsells, therefore quantity is not related to quality.

HARDSELL:

I partly agree with you. Although, I like "Spewsions." Very good.

Watch Wal-Mart stock price. I predict sales growth of 10 percent for the next 5 years and earnings growth of 15 percent for the next 5 years. Wal*Mart opened a new store in Chicago. Over 15,000 persons applied for the 400 available jobs.

I have always said that HOOVER Fusion vacuums and Wal-Mart are the perfect venue. Fusion is a sourced HOOVER vacuum as is the Fusion Plus at Sam's Club.

According to NPD frequently quoted here by dyson admirers for dyson sales, Dirt Devil was the most popular selling vacuum in unit sales from January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005. For calendar year 2005, 20 million new vacuums were sold according to the October 2006 Consumer Reports. Dirt Devil had a considerable number of the sales. (The sales numbers do not include stick vacuums, brooms, handcleaners, and rug cleaners). Dirt Devil is a leading contender in the USA vacuum cleaner and floorcare market.

Hey there. I was in Linnens N things and saw the new vac. I was impressed with the feel of quality of the machine... felt solid. I like how high you can extend the handle... that was a shocker. I also like the foot power switch. What I couldn't figure out is how to arrange the long hose so that it doesn't drag on the groud... both models seem to have that problem, but it looked like it was in the hose hooks. Also, the trap door, I had to almost pry it open after pressing the release... maybe because it was new. Hmmm...
