Since 20 MILLION new full size vacuums are sold each year, and have been for this 2000 decade, a sample size based on a suvey of 156,000 has limited reliability [no pun intended].  Tho, not to take any credit away from the vacuums that have scored well in reliability over the years.  Certainly KIRBY, dyson, and RAINBOW are commendable for their CR reliability results to date. 

I prefer to see a statistical validity percentage [as Trebor mentions] based on each of the brand name/models tested.  This would provide a degree of certainty upon which the results associated with the survey findings can be relied upon by readers/consumers.  This is done for all the research surveys and can be done by Consumer Reports too for more accurate and meaningful reporting of survey data.

I just have one question. Does one serve red, or white wine with a big fat can of worms?

Trebor


With canned worms, definitely a rose wine.

Miele and its "Immer Besser" philosophy took a beating.  Funny stuff.

I hurriedly glanced at the article .  Oreck was almost at the bottom on performance also.  I believe all Dysons scored better.

Check out the CR ratings for the canns, HS.  ORECK vice dyson.  Looks like a split decision.
