Hey guys,

Not meaning to start anything but I've heard this claim so many times before regarding so many vacuums.  "I vacuumed my house with my regular vacuum and then followed with the "Miracle Vac" and I couldn't believe all the dirt I picked up."  For once I'd love to hear the story the other way round . . .

"I got the Miracle Vac out of the box and went over my whole house and then I pulled out my regular vacuum . . ."  It would be very interesting to hear the result and far more worthwhile.

OR how about, "I vacuumed with the Miracle Vac got a load of dirt and went back, vacuumed with it again and couldn't find a speck of dirt."  Then you'd be really talking about something.

Hi Venson,

I think it would work the same way with either machine...the second one is bound to pick up more than the first.  From what I hear it's an old sales tactic.  Kirby salesmen are notorious for this, little does the unsuspecting buyer know that they could go over the same area again after the Kirby and still collect dirt.

Mike if you want to lock this thread, censor me, edit and/or whatever else you do as Moderator when the dysoners get out of control, do it.  That's what the dysoners want isn't it?  And you oblige and fall right into their hands.

Carmine;

I feel so popular, because you mentioned my name approx. three times in this thread.  Your statement is quite funny, since you can find "dysoners" who would tell you that I fall right into your hands.   How soon you forget, Carmine.

I made a statement above in order to end the debate or argument.  Most made their point known.  After that, you are just repeating yourself.  Everyone of you knows where each of you stand.

My old friend:

My statement was not intended to be funny.  But I hope it made you laugh.

The problem is........... I don't forget.  I remember all too well. 

Today, being the First Sunday of the Month, and me a religious man who keeps the Sabbath holy, I'll let tom dyson gashole [alias Motor Mouth/Head] and his band of merry dysoners spew their dyson drivel [read bashing anything and anyone that competes with dyson] and not respond. 

Please don't confuse my abstaining as giving in.  No. No. Not so Mike and dysoners.  Like the song says: I've only just begun.

Again, on a more serious note, my sincere thanks and appreciation for being given the opportunity to express my impartial opinions and comments based on the posts and links expressed herein.

One key thing I didn't mention in my previous post (probably isn't worth mentioning as most are aware of it but I'll say it anyway) is that with a dirt sensor equipped machine, the dirt sensor is only an indicator of when the cleaner has stopped picking up.  That doesn't necessarily mean there's no dirt in the carpet.  So there's a good chance the WindTunnel was (hopelessly) clogged and wasn't picking up well.  Or, as James would say, wasn't working "properly".

Hey M.H., how do you know that the dyson works properly?.Is it because Jimmy says it does.Do you have any first hand proof that it does?Do you work for Dyson?.Did you actually have anything to do with the set up on the machine?Have you ever sat with Jimmy and gone over his inventions?.Did you personally keep airway in business for a while?.Do you take credit for putting the end to Hoover?. Do you still run around the country promoting dyson?,do you still complain to your buddies in the southern part of the country.And by the way Tommy Anderson,says HI...................

Carmine,

First off, my name isn't Tom.  That being said, due to the nature of the Internet I prefer to keep anonymous on here like a lot of people.  I am not affiliated with Dyson in any way shape or form, I just own a DC21 Stowaway canister that has changed my opinion on it greatly.  Also, I have not been this Dyson "addict" (for lack of a better word) all my life.  Like many, I was in fact skeptical of the Dyson cleaner when it came out 6 years ago!  I bet you were not aware of that.

Second of all, why must you attack anyone who supports the Dyson and resort to using personal attacks (no less) as such?  You and Mole criticize the Dyson and James Dyson incessantly, yet when we constructively criticize the Oreck, you call it "bashing".  Is there a double standard I'm missing?  You seem to take the Forums way too seriously, calling us "dysoners" like we're some kind of a cult or something.  Please.  That and "jaydee" are two of the most laughable phrases I've heard (not to mention ridiculous) and serve no purpose other than making you look foolish (and immature).  In addition, you make the "Motor mouth" comment.  I find that interesting, why?  Well, I have been here for 3 months and have posted 85 times, including this one.  You have been here for a little over 1 month and have twice the amount of posts I have.  Enough said.

Mole,

How do I know that the Dyson works properly and isn't all hype like most everything else out there?  Well, let's see.  I've vacuumed up the contents of various machines, such as a Filter Queen bin and other bags/etc., and the Dyson has handled it all without losing suction or airflow.  I have not babied my DC21 by any means.  And now do I know that it's not losing power?  Simple.  I can tell if a machine's power is dropping off by hearing the change in motor pitch.  My DC21 does not do that, and the suction remains constant.  As for your other comments, those had me lost so I have no idea what you were talking about.

At any rate, I've said all there is to say about the Dyson and it seems that defending it is futile.  I have no desire to continue this childish "debate", answering these blatently snide comments, so this is my last post on this thread as such.  You two continue all you like.

-MH
