Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

In a purely unscientific study...of the 8 uprights I have in for repair at the moment all but one are set on the lowest carpet setting.  The one that's not is set to "bare floors"

Sounds like they might not be Dysons.

No, not Dysons. Samsungs, Bissells, Hoovers and Eurekas.

Dusty,

I remember about a 1 1/2 yrs. ago or so you posted most vacuums that come in for repair come in with height adjustments set to the lowest position.  THANKS.

Hi DIB,

To be fair, Carmen also pointed out that as performance drops customers will tend to lower the height thinking it will work better which I have no doubt is also true.  I do believe the majority however, and this is from watching customers as they try vacuums in the store, have a tendency to drop the height to it's lowest assuming that it's the best setting. In store, I can correct them but unfortunately if they are buying from a big box they will never be told...but that's why we sell belts :-)

hi dusty

 So whats your method of ajustment on a slide height adjuster....and i agree that most come in with the lowest  setting....so low that the brushes have curved. or bearings melted roller ends......my local bbox has the worst cust serv....so you better know all about what you want/need....cause your on your own.

With the handle out of the upright position and the height adjust on it's highest level we have the customer drop the height down until they hear a change of pitch as the brush starts to hit the carpet.  We get them to try vacuuming at that setting and if they're not feeling it's doing the job the drop it down no more than one more level.

You never fail to prove/reprove what I have know about you for years here: You have a complete lack of getting it/forgetting the crux of the matters during the thread discussions.  Thank goodness Dusty suffers fools more easily than me.  Thank you Dusty.

PS DIB:

You once commented on my voluminous posts here in such a short period of time of doing so.  You didn't get it there either.  It's stating and restating the obvious over and over ad infinitum to the likes of you who can't/won't comprehend plain and simple English. 

Then again James/dyson, your leaders, are just as bad.  Witness the recent thread discussions with floating self-adjusting dyson vacuum heads and exobitant outlandish hand held prices for lackluster performing products.
