Straight out of Ripley's believe it or not . . .

While I was only joking about using my vac as a snowblower someone actually took the idea seriously.  I strongly advise that the Kirby people, who used to make an attachment for just about everything give the video a gander.

A vacuum cleaner test . . .

Hi,

The following video is on the silly side and defintely weird but it is a demonstration of what a good vacuum (halt dust collector-half garbage can) can do.  No -- I do not have a shoe fetish.

Hi,

More from the robot vac sector -- the China Vac.  The article is here: http://www.gizmag.com/robotic-vacuum-cleaner-camera-surveillance-chinavision-g182/14526/

Mention is made of a similar device by the iRobot folks that was pulled off the market.

Re: How about a Pet Poop vacuum cleaner - for the pet owner who has everything...

Hi,

Holy cow!  Another idea for poop clean-up is in the news.  I think the idea's cool but don't quite understand the easy-going attitude that lets pet owners off the hook.

The article can be found here -- http://islingtonnow.co.uk/?p=3419&cpage=1#comment-95

Hello venson:

If the $400 pricetag doesn't come down to $300, these old and discontinued DC14 models will merely collect dust and never sell.  In large part, the reason these dyson dinosaurs are still around new and for sale.

Hi Carmine,

You know, I sort of stood there in Costco counting backwards on my fingers -- DC28, and so on and so on -- and got to thinking, why hasn't this model been turned over to Overstock.com even though they have plenty already.  There is such a thing as moving on.  From a consumer's perspective, these oldies almost negate the worth of the later Ball models I'm expected to be impressed by.  Again, business-wise, it seems oddly another "shoot yourself in the foot" example.

Is it up to Costco or Dyson to do the right thing by getting discontinued models off store shelves?
