I can see why Carmine is such a fan. This site is peppered with Hoover advertisements linked right to Hoovers site. I did not realize until this morning that the Windtunnel 2 has only a 1 year warranty.

If its Sunday, it's sales time in vacuum land and who gets the coveted PARADE section yet again: ÊHOOVER compliments this week of BEST BUY.

Featured by BEST BUY are the new HOOVER WindTunnel 2 EXTRA REACH for $299, the HOOVER Steam Vac and another recent HOOVER addition, the Elite upright for $99 with a 24 foot retractable cord.

Proudly displayed is the HOOVER emblem with the following: Ê

"Cleans Carpet better than ANY leading brand. ÊAnd the following footnote: As tested per ASTM International Test F608, proven by the only recognized test representing real-life conditions in American Homes."

Carmine D.

I get the NY Times and we don't have a Parade insert in our paper.

It's the weekend and vacuum sales abound.

Once again the coveted PARADE section premiers the HOOVER WindTunnel 2. But this week the Surface Command for $339, the HOOVER canister for $49 and the HOOVER SteamVac. Compliments once again of BEST BUY.

But wait. Who else is joining in on the coveted PARADE advertising section. None other than Mr. Most Recognized Business Man: David Oreck. Not with vacuums, but he sneaks one in, but with Air Purifiers. Gotta love that PARADE section. Dave is looking good for 84 and A WW 11 veteran. Much better than some others who like to advertise their vacuum products and are much younger. Wink

Speaking of BEST BUY, it has the same DC07 for $399 with the $30 Gift Card. (Boring). SEARS has a better deal for one day only (right now). And today is the day. THe DC14 All Floors for $429 before a 10 percent mail-in rebate. Trying hard to sell them high priced dysons now that the market demand is waning and the market is saturated.

Retail sales are down in June. The June and July Michigan University Consumer Confidence Indices are down. High gas prices are taking a toll on consumers' discretionary income. Sales will abound to push products.

Of course HOME DEPOT is still premiering their HOOVER Legacy Series. Way to go HOOVER.

I have seen the "Maytag" Legacy but don't think is is "premeiring" as it has been there for about a month. The "Maytag" legacy series can be found at the Home Depot but the "Hoover" Legacy series must be new can you tell us where to find it?

I thought I was doing you dysonians a favor by plugging your fave bagless vacuum. Can't please everyone and others are just never satisfied unless they get the final spin. Carmine D.

Advertisements are dependent on regions. The legacy may be premiering in Carmine's region. Remember, he is 50 years behind the times.

Maybe he was talking about your last sentence there. Make sense?
