Hi Venson, Carmine.

Quite true, this product has seen limited air time, It only appeals to a certain group of people in the building and construction industry, And everything that Venson says comes true, its all about the bottom line,project overuns are very costly to the owners and the contractors. Please explain to me why i should have a airblade at twice the cost of the other offerings, please justify the double the costs to me,what is their comeback[because dyson SMOKES the competition] oh sure i'll buy it just because you said so.

And for the record,would the person getting his hands dryed by the airblade,run out and tell his friends and family [WOW WHAT A GREAT HAND DRYER THAT DYSON IS] I'LL BET THEY DONT.

Can anyone think of any other dyson vacuum that has any success thats not heavily promoted.I cant, not at least since the dc07..........

How much longer is the airblade going to be staying in lineup?

Is it paying off yet, is it worth the effort,is the price causing lackluster sales, are there anymore WORK ORDERS for production and how many units are dead on the warewhouse shelves, I see a sell off coming,

LOWER THE PRICE AND COMPETE WITH THE OTHERS OR ITS GOING THE ROUTE OF THE WASHING MACHINE.

Hi Didier,

I would say that your application calls for a upright with the following features,double helix brush roll [no beater bars] Bypass twin motors one dedicated for the suction,one just for the brushroll, A geared toothed geared belt,with auto shutoff if something stalls the brush, The timing belt sends the same signal to the brush no under revving or over revving,top load easy change bags filtrete if desired, very easy to use and maintain by the user, a company thats in the vacuum business and dont sell vacuums as a sideline.

That being said,look at the following machines,SEBO felix,SEBOx4, Aerus/Electrolux prolux uprights,pro team xp15, sanitaire sc785 upright, LINDHAUS activa series,all the mentioned machines will give you 15 to 18 years of service,with maybe 2 tune ups during that period, all the machines will groom and clean your looped carpeting and keep them looking nice.

Hope this helps

Hi Carmine, the bail failures on kirbys are minimal in contrast to the hoover convertible,how many bails did you replace because of breakage on the left hand side of the fork where the casting got thin and broke at the same spot?I use dto do do at least 10 a week in the old days,it seems like every uprights weak spots at the pivot point between the handle and the base of the machine.It seemed that the older kirbys without the transmissin wre more prone to breakage that the G series uprights.

I see a lot of handle grip breakage on these machines than bail fork failures.The harder people are on the vacuum the more stuff they can break, most repairs come under misuse and abuse,than just parts wearing out.

H.S. i dont agree with you about the kirby on bare floors,these machine really do quite well on bare floor surfaces, I agree about the attachment use though they really need on board attachments,but would have to redesign the whole system from front to back. Dont think thats ever going to happen...........
