Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hello turtle1:

DIB, like James, suffers from dyson insecurity syndrome.  James and dyson have to elevate dyson by bashing and attacking the competition.  Can't succeed on its own merits.  That's the dyson play book.  DIB is the first one to point call out others when they do it to dyson but can't see it when dyson has been doing it for years.  I have often quoted scripture to DIB:  Telling him [dyson] to remove the log from his own eye before criticizing the splinter in the eye of others.

The late night product spots are the cheap slots!  No viewers.  No call ins.  No sales.  Period.  Practice?  Maybe for Helen.  Dave should know this stuff by now.  Shouldn't have to practice.  Tho, as I said the demo was very disappointing.  Dave should go.   

DC28 hasn't debutted officially yet on HSN.  This was not it.  As Helen said, lovely lady that she is, HSN is trying to make a few sales first so when it does launch there are some dyson persons [other than dyson shills] to call in with product affirmations.  Wait until the HSN dyson buyers find out that there is a prcing war on the DC28 and its not an HSN exclusive.  That should be real good for dyson and HSN's business agreements and sales.

Hello 'turtle1'

You're a gentleman and a vacuum man.

After thinking on this for a bit, I'm concerned that the reason dyson Dave couldn't pick up the materials he spread out on the rug in one [and even more passes] is the reason Procare and MOLE provided.  Sealed to tightly to the rug.

When I demoed dyson's DC28 at BEST BUY store, the carpetting is their run of the mill flat line pile.  Not typical of what is found in US homes and houses.  Dyson may have an expensive red herring on his hands with this one and perhaps that is the reason for the price wars, since the dyson twins have ignored the questions.

Hello Ace:

The crux of Dave's premise/pitch is that the new dyson airmuscle technology gets more deep down dirt, period.  All the rest is fluff.  Never did he provide evidence to prove this premise.  He made a very feeble attempt by running over an unvacuumed portion of the carpet and showing what the DC28 picks up.  Not good enough.  Any vacuum will do this. 

When I demoed the DC28 at BEST BUY, I dumped a dyson display dirt bin and spread out and walked the contents into the carpet.  Using the default setting of medium [wrong choice by dyson], I vacuumed up the contents.  Didn't get it all in one pass/two.  The remains were vsibly present on the surface.  Imagine the imbedded unseen stuff still lingering.  I lowered the rug setting and tried again.  Much better.  But the drawback is the hard pushing and pulling.  Now, this is the traditional flat line BB pile rug.  Not the norm for US homes.  Upgrade the pile a tad.  What happens?  Again, as others like MOLE and Procare noted here, the tendency of the airmuscle components to seal the nozzle to the rug.  Not only hard to puch/pull but doesn't get up the dirt.
