Jim B,

I believe the 10oz originated with Dyson's original claim.  
Hoover used the same 10oz to standardize to the Dyson test.  Surely you are familiar with that test and the accompanying chart.  All other vacuums were supposed to completely lose suction after inhaling only 10oz of dirt.  Hoover used the same 10oz to disprove Dyson's statement.  

I'm glad to hear that you are quoting from Consumer Reports.  I'm kind of surprised that you would be allowed to acknowledge Consumer Reports.

Now Dyson is resorting to the dust mite campaign (see Dyson web page) used in the past by sleazy door-to-door brands.  First of all, I don't see the point in demonizing dust mites.  They provide a very important function in devouring dead skin cells.  Where is the proof that using a Dyson will have any effect at all on dust mite population in the home?  This ad is more misleading than anything David Oreck has ever done.  With a bagless vacuum like the Dyson, just how many dust mites are released every time the bin is emptied?  

By the way, the term "industry standard" is appropriate for describing ASTM tests.  That is the whole point of having a standard.  These standards are not static either.  Methodologies are improved as technology advances.  

CR was right to warn consumers about potential problems with the Hoover Fusion; however, it is not clear whether the problem is widespread.  It very well may be, or it could just be a problem with a batch of products.  I would recommend that Walmart consumers purchase bagged vacuums to avoid the leakage problems associated with bagless vacuums.  Bagless vacuums are just plain filthy to empty.  If I had to own a bagless vacuum, it would be the Rainbow, because at least the dirt would be dissolved in water and relatively easy to empty.
