Vacuumfreeeke

That would be nice if it were true... don't see a valid site there!  That must have been the most ephemeral vacuum web site yet!  Maybe the great Dyson debates ruined it in the first week!

George... I also check in at the other forums (none of them are active enough for me to just use one)...  this forum seems to be geared more toward big box brands and Dyson (hating or loving).... not so much collecing/collectors.  At least that's what I can gather for the conversations I've seen.

Why I'm not quite sure how to take that, sir.  Never heard that expression before!

The funny thing is that I actually wanted my Dyson to outperform any other cleaner I tried it against... I like it.  I'm not anti-Dyson.  It wouldn't surprise me if a Bissell could outperform a power nozzle on a stick... I mean an Oreck.  So could a broom and dustpan. 

Give me a Hoover Concept (power drive) any day!

The performance of the 14 is similar.  However, I'd much rather flip the handle around like in the DC07 and use a COMFORABLE handle for attachment use instead of that inane thing they slapped on the DC14.  I also don't like the tools on top of the dirt tank... they fall off and are in the way then I transport the machine or empty the bin.  I also don't like the washable filter being right in the dirt bin (even if it is separated by the cyclone assembly)... I much prefer it in the place it was on the DC07.  PLUS, I think the trigger release is easier to use than the push button of the DC14.  The 14 must be the worst Dyson ever made...

I don't know why the duplicate post happened!
