It seems the UK’s ASA is more and more anti-Dyson. The ASA ; is it now run by bias men, good men, genius’s or drunks? You decide… DIB DIB DIB DIB . Hello DIB: Thanks for posting. Very interesting ruling. First, an observation on your post above: You impugn the ASA and the expert vacuum industry witness with the same names as you do for those who have said the same here in the past [anti-dyson]. Facts and truth are anti-falsehoods. Not anti-[supply your own favorite name brand]. Where one stands depends on where he/she sits! Carmine D. Carmine, I would recommend you go back and re-edit your post for truthfulness and accuracy. I have suggested and/or said in past posts that others here were bias, anti-Dyson, but never drunks. - A forum search will prove I have never said this as you say. DIB

Hello DIB: In an effort to answer you, I edited my post at the same time as you posted. Recall, James Spangler invented the first portable upright vacuum in the US. Boss HOOVER bought the rights in 1907, patented, and mass marketed in the USA and UK by 1912. Who had integrity and did the hard work? I'd say both men. Dyson produced the first multi cyclonic bagless for $500. TTI did it for $100. Who did the hard work and has integrity? That's not for me to judge. It's for vacuum consumers to decide. Which gets back to Motor's Law: It's not who does it first, but who copies the best and sells for less. Carmine D. Motorhead, Thanks for the update on the Whispers flaws. I would expect James to begin running the same t.v. aderts he ran in the UK showing his vacuums getting abused and not breaking. The VAX multi-cyclonic, Bissell HH vs. Dyson story has and is still being playing out and from what I saw James answered 1st with a reliability/built quality commercial. DIB

Hello DIB: In the distant past, I would agree with calling China a 3rd world [under/developing country]. But no longer. It is probably as mainstream now as Malaysia IMHO and maybe more so, based on the recent upheavals in the democratic government in Malaysia. The World Olympics will certainly bring China into the 21 Century as a recognized world economic leader and a military power. Based on TTI's acquisition of HOOVER, it is now the leading vacuum maker/seller in the USA by any measure and/or standard. TTI is poised to take on dyson for the multi-cyclonic bagless vacuum market. As Motor says: It's not who does it first, but which company copies the best and sells for less. As I said: China is slave labor without the guilt. Carmine D Carmine, True, China has developed enormously, although much remains underdeveloped and poor. I added to my statement below. DIB
Carmine, Did Maytag Hoover and now the 3rd world/cheap labor Chinese manufacturer and owner of the Hoover brand (TTI) build the Fusion/s, Mach/s and Whisper (and assumed future rebrands) on hard work and integrity? DIB

Hi DIB,
Carmine may have a different opinion but to me that would be questionable. The Fusion/Legacy/Mach series appear to be well built structurally (good metal telescoping handle, etc.), yet at the same time I've heard of many problems surrounding the brushroll and clutch on those, namely the bearings in the brushroll seizing up. I'm inclined to believe this was/is more of a user-created problem than anything else (due to improper use/neglect/etc.), especially since I never learned the exact circumstances of those problems. No doubt something caused by large amounts of hair becoming entangled in the brushroll, and left there.
As I mentioned earlier, the jury is still out as to the longevity of the Whisper since it is a new model, but I don't see why it *wouldn't* last a good 6-7 years (at the very least) if properly maintained.

Hey MH,
I'm not sure what you are saying in the highlighted. DIB
