Hello Jim:

The narrative in the DC18 is an excerpt from the link I posted by Mark on another thread that you responded to already. Did you respond to my post with the link without reading the review? ;)

BTW, after several emails to NPD, and several weeks passed, NPD did not respond to my inquiries asking about the sales percentages credited to it by USA Today. I think they have staffers that read the WTBV Forum too.

Carmine D.

Carmine as I made clear in the other thread I did not know you had taken the same dyson attack to two threads at the same time, until after I had posted the query here. You obviously had read that before posting this question aimed at ridiculing and misleading anyone who had not also read that thread.

I also will include the link to NPD below so that readers can make up their mind whether they should trust their marketshare numbers and analysis or your gut feel and occasional hearsay.

Hello Carmine,

I recently purchased a DC-18 and have had it for several months now. So far I don't find it to be top heavy and it has never once toppled over as you describe. In fact, it appears to be very stable even on thick carpeting.

I'm curious to know how a DC-18 could possibly fall over on a smooth, flat concrete garage floor? Is it possible the operater didn't correctly lock the wheels in its upright position? I've tried and tried to make mine fall over but it simply remains standing like a 200 year old cedar!

I guess I must be blessed; or is this simply a continuation of your anti-Dyson false propaganda BS?

Anyone frequenting this forum can easily get the answer right on the first try!

Hello Bruce: That's a dyson fawner name from the past:

I'm glad you are enjoying your DC18.

The salesman at the local SEARS tells me the DC18 on display falls over at least once a day. I presume all the SEARS customers are deliberately doing something to make it fall over. BTW, the SEARS salesman does not like DC18. It's tipsy problem is just one of his reasons. Wink

Really? A 16 year vacuum cleaner sales professional for SEARS. Who gives me his honest evaluations of all vacuums including the DC18 on many occasions when I asked?

Where did you get your mind reading and fortune telling degrees? Wink

Are the only "honest" opinions those that exactly mirror yours. Are the factual errors in your expert oreck dealers dyson review lack of knowledge or dishonesty? Oh and by the way have a good night and enjoy having the last word...

No, not the last word. The last laugh. Grin

Your posts always make me laugh. First, impugning a vacuum professional before even reading his commentary. Second, imputing self-serving motives to a 16 year SEARS vacuum cleaner retailer, you don't know, who agrees with Mark and I about the tipsy design of the DC18. Then, saying "we" both agree meaning you and I. That's funny.

I love my dyson dc18, i traded in my dc17 and dc14,and must say it really picks up better than it's other siblings,after the first cleaning i emptied the bin 5 times,yuck.

After reading reviews like this can anyone but wonder how anyone can believe this B.S. dyson propaganda.

My way of thinking would be as follows,if you really think that the dyson is as good as you said it was .WHERE THE HELL DID THE 5 BIN FULLS OF DIRT CAME FROM.

regards

O.T.

Have not posted here for a while but interesting things have stayed the same, Only Carmine can take a post riddled with factual false statements against dyson by a guy selling only orecks on the same site and turn it into some great insight by a neutral observer. All the while discounting a dealer who admits to selling Dyson but only as a small portion of his business and also discounting marketshare info from the leading expert in the field that supplied it through a journalist. Holy hypocrite, Batman.
