Anyone getting rich on Dyson warranty and repairs?  Bueller?
 
Carmine if you want to talk dyson repair facilities or warranty facts or specific dyson repairs I would be happy to, if you merely intend to have a grammar debate go ahead and have the last word.
If any of the names you are tossing around want to have a discussion on dyson repairs I would be happy to have it with them.  I would be willing to bet we would agree on more than we would disagree.  I understand I am in the minority of shop owners partnering with dyson at this point and I hope that lasts as long as possible.  Lets see a shop touting the fusion and z post that.

Well, I still like my Hoover Empower, but can see that I will get pretty sick of cleaning that pleated filer!
 
Tell me about uprights with a bag, so I can just change the bag when it is full and forget about cleaning filters altogether!

Welcome back, bonelady!  Wrt bagged uprights vacs using filtrettes:
 
If the Sebo Felix we mentioned earlier is too expensive  (SEBO's are costly and will soon be more so thanks to falling US dollar):
 
The Simplicity Freedom, while one of the loudest vacs around, cleans well and is very lightweight.  But it does not use attachments.
 
Several of the Kenmore uprights use filtrette bags and were well rated by Consumers Union.
 
The Eureka Boss SmartVac is a good all round workhorse, under $200.  It does not use filtrettes, though.
 
 

Thanks.  I'll take a look at the Eureka.  Vacuums should not be this hard !

CR reports reliablility rates by number of contacts with a service facility.  Thus why they rate Dirt Devil and Bissell as more reliable than Riccar and Simplicity.  Many Riccar's for example go in for a free yearly tuneup and this counts as a service visit.  Many Riccar dealers simply remind customers that Riccar owners love thier Riccar's so much they bring them in for yearly check ups.  A good analogy I read from another Tacony dealer went something like:  Which pet is more loved the one brought to the Vet for a yearly checkup or the one driven to the country and abandoned at a farm after a year.  CR's "reliability" rating would say the the abandoned after a year pet is more reliable than the one kept for years as it was never taken to the Vet.
