Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

A James Dyson t.v. commercial was parodied on Saturday Night Live.  James, in his lectures talks of an early decision to make his bin clear even when a focus group said seeing the vacuum debris was disgusting.  James said that’s the point and it was kinda like “taking a good look before flushing”(it got a big laugh at Stanford).  I think he’d like the parody.        DIB

Moose,

You’re welcome.  Yes, the DDM sounds a bit loud on camera, hopefully it is not too loud in person.  My Japanese neighbor tells me quiet appliances are needed for Japan’s small apartments with their rice paper partitioned rooms.  Below are some DC12 links.  If you like the Japanese adverts, perhaps you'll be amused watching the DC12 in-mall demonstrators (funny stuff).  Enjoy.        DIB

Thanks DIB:

Couple of observations: 

IRobot stole the show with the lead feature of its products.  Interesting that the iRobot rep made the same comment I did recently here: It complements a household full sized vacuum. 

Nice commentary on the importance of brushroll design, form, and function in the performance of the vacuum's operations.  Think dyson fans believe it!  I know one in particular who still doesn't despite years of proof to the contrary.  Including dyson phasing out [read discontinuing] the DC07/14 in the USA in part due to the brush rolls which perform poorly on kapok pick-up.  An industry standard test for rug demo-s.

Nice demo on SEBO Felix, despite the cornball vacuum jokes.

Only a passing glimpse of the dysons and didn't appear to be any new stuff, just the same old.

Not many persons in attendance based on this short clip.

HARDSELL:

After the umpteenth time here, your Oreck material is losing its comical appeal. 

I like Mole's characterization the best.  He used it once on this Forum and once on another [if I recall correctly]: He calls Oreck: A hokey on a stick.  I love it!
