The new line of Arm & Hammer bagless filters use the baking soda right in the filter paper to neutralize the odors caused by mold, bacteria and fungi.  The dirty air passes through the filter with the baking soda particles which neutralizes odor bearing dirt.  The result, odor free air is released into the air.  Filter replacement is recommended every 90-120 days.  I like these replacement filters better than the original equipment and in most cases these are less expensive than the OEM.

What did you think?  
 
There are 2 upright models.  Kohl's has the blue-purple model (I'm color blind) that retails for $249 on sale for $199.  BEST BUY was quick to add both models to its stores and website.  Target, Wal*Mart and SEARS are watching from the side lines to see how they sell before they add the line.  I think its just a matter of time.
 
Bed Bath and Beyond and Linens-n-Things have exclusive Euro-Pro models already.  I don't know if they will carry these same Infinity models and/or a special one(s) will be made for their stores.  Have to wait and see.
 
Filters including HEPA require as little maintenance as the more expensive bagless if not less (save the HOOVER Z and WT 2 which are self-cleaning).  Nice features especially the light that tells you if the filters have to be cleaned.  After market parts are readily available to the industry.  I like that the 24 cyclones, bin and shroud are completely washable.  No pet hair, dander, bacteria, mold and fungi to become permanently affixed in the nooks and crannies of the dirt bin and filtering components for the life of the vacuum.

Ironic that the TV ads are so similar.  The same is true of the product information on the Infinity uprights at the retailers.  It looks like the literature is taken right off the dyson uprights.  It's apparent (at least to me) that the Euro-Pro Infinity uprights are being marketed to go head to head with the more expensive dyson uprights.  Gutsy move by Euro-Pro to say it is as good if not better than another brand that costs over twice as much.

I do not think that this is strange, because it is more possible for a part to break/wear when handled more often.  The website is just making it easier to order parts.  If you look at dyson's accessories, you will find that they also offer the cyclone chamber.  Unlike the dyson, the Infinity cyclone chamber is broken down in smaller parts.

I don't expect to replace the DC07s for awhile yet, especially after just refurbishing them, but if I need to, I'll look at the Infinity. I'm definitely leary of anything with the Euro-pro label, though. Also, didn't Dual test one and have it fail his ashes test? You would think a 24 cyclone vacuum would do well on it, if it was properly designed.
 
As for WMT, I'll continue to stay as far as possible from retail stocks given my expecation of a severe and long-term economic downturn. My primary investments continue to be in gold and silver.
