Re: Hoover Whisper upright at Wal-Mart

I personally don't see a big return to the day of the bagged vacuum. As companies strive to "go green" they will develop better bagless technology and push the fact that you don't have to buy throw away bags or filters thus helping good ole mother nature. You can already see it happening with the Bissell Healthy Home and the Hoover Whisper. Better bagless, no cartridges to replace, lifetime filters. I read on here that Miele has a bagless patent, don't be suprised to see that on lthe market at some point either. There was a time when all vacuums had dump bags but when paper came out people loved the convieniance of being able to just throw away the bag. Times have changed, now people want to reduce, reuse, and recycle.<BR><BR>As far as the Eureka Boss Smart goes, it just shows the power of being rated a "best buy" by Consumer Reports. It was our best selling Eureka too at least until it didn't show up in the last issue. Now it doesn't even get a second look.<BR><BR>Dusty
That companies have a HEART and WANT to go GREEN for the betterment of Earth & Mankind is laughable....that we buy into it, is pathetic. It's a marketing tool no more no less and if it actually does work, merely a bonus. Try working in an advertising for a day any you will get quite an education. The American public is not as intelligent as we give them credit for (note the success of Shark and euro pro, LOL). Companies dictate what they want. That the will of the free market dictates, is an OLD axiom. Give them cow patties and thats the only choice..they buy it. Then Companies conclude "The market place DEMANDS cow paties lets give em more! I'm not proud of becoming a cynic but the Market demands I be...LOL

The point is the dealer should not use parts that cost him less and charge the price that the customer would have paid for the branded one. Again, that is stealing.</p><p>
HA HA HA hahahahah... that's a good one ...When a company does it it's called "free market capitalism"....when a little guy does it, evidently it's called stealing Personally I think both are unethical...

Carmine you stated: The high costs of oil are translated into high fuel costs for transportation of imported goods into the USA. Products that were less expensive to import than produce here aren't cheaper anymore to outsource. Result: These products are made here in the USA now. More jobs.
The economics of commerce always work better than government intervention with rules and regulations.
Normally (or at least previously) I would have agreed with that.. but times have changed. It is a GLOBAL ECONOMY now. Greed and Power fueled by subsidized economies, supported buy slave labor, masking as Capitalism, has no national boundries and therefor no self preservation interest in, or for, it's people. Doesn't look good unless you WANT the US to be a third world S-hole ruled by the rich elite and no middle class similar to Mexico.

The talking suits on the financial networks who only see the world from THEIR perspective, think it's all about the credit crunch and tax cuts for Corporations but from the little guys point of view it's a LOT different. We've spent the last 35 years disproportionally redistributing the wealth of America to the top 2% of the nation at the expense of the Middle Class. The middle class has been able to keep up with Wages until jobs and industry were shipped overseas. Then they managed to keep up with credit and borrowing. Both options are gone plus the increased costs associated with Local Taxes, high oil & food prices, the consumer is tapped out. I firmly believe we are headed for a severe depression and possibly the demise of America as we have come to know it.if we cannot find a way to redistribute the wealth from the few to the many. Without added income to the middle class... nothing will get better.
