Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

If dyson sees a floating head on a full size upright as genius then rug height adjustments on vacuums must be the equivalent of a miracle.  No one save a person in a frozen sleep, read mummy, would agree.

The dirt embedded in a rug, if not removed, overtime is the key element for premature rug wear and damage.  All rug makers will attest to it.  The Carpet and Rug Institute says so too.  A rug can hold its weight in dirt and still look clean.  If that dirt is not removed, the carpet wears out.  Back to the dyson's latest.  It claims to get ouyt the deep down dirt.  Question:  IN comparison to what other brands/models?  Dysons?  Make the claim, prove the claim, and see how many sell for $500-$600.  Make the claim, don't prove the claim, and see how many sell for $500-$600.  With such a claim, dyson MUST seek the approval of the CRI.  As proof.  If not, good luck.  Perhaps the same people DIB talks about buying $300 dyson handhelds will buy dysons with rug adjustments.  Of course if one waits, one/another may be gifted with purchase of the other.

Carmine,

What percentage of U.S. vacuum users adjust their height adjustments correctly from room to room?  In the past, CR did not explicitly and in bold messaging tell its readers that their carpet cleaning findings are based on having the perfect/near perfect height setting.  Could CR not find print space just under where they claim to be non-bias and just above where they are in need of millions of dollars in "donations." 

I'm not interested in your opinion or you walking up and down the isles at Best Buy or interviewing folks in the Costco parking lot determining if Dyson products have value.  I am interested in studies.  What's the number (percentage)?

The nose knows! 

Since Sir James, your leader, added height adjustments to his latest vacuum invention and charges extra for it, I presume he/dyson, if not you, believes rug adjustments are important enough and warranted if one wants to have the benefits of deep clean carpeting. 

If you read my write-up here about dyson's DC28, it might enlighten you as to the reason height adjustments make a difference.  That is if you can comprehend too.

As to percentages of users, depends.  Sometimes all of them.  Sometimes none of them.  Most times somewhere in between.

The answer to the question, like the question, is irrelevant.  The question, more appropriately SHOULD BE if vacuum users want/need height adjustments for carpet cleaning in their homes, what brands and models have them and for how much.  For example: HOOVER TEMPO offers 5 on for $75-$80.  THe latest from your company offers 4 for $500-$600. 

Carmine D.

To use the same idiocy as you, I can ask the same dumb question in reverse and query:  What percentage do not?   Do you have a study with the answer? 

Of course not.  It's a make believe question with an answer that is unknown and more correctly moot.

Carmine,

You just admitted 2/3 rd’s of all U.S. vacuum users do not adjust their height adjustments properly.  Confirming Dyson choosing the floating head method was indeed a brilliant [genius] business move.

Your mind is so filled with drivel no wonder it's prone to bouts of idiosy.  

The majority of vacuum customers who seek out/buy upright vacuums specifically for the need of rug height adjustments do so to use them.  A floating head made famous by HOOVER with the DAM was problematic on many of the carpets in the 1960's.  HOOVER soon added adjustments in very short order.   It doesn't take genius to know it could not work 40 plus years later on the same/more thickly piled styles and heights.  Quite the contrary.  Not benefiting from the knowledge/lessons of the past only allows supposed innovators to repeat the same failed missteps.  If that's genius, stand in line with the people who P.T. Barnum says are born every 6 minutes and most likely dyson's target audience of buyers.  That is wealth and money allowing.
