Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

James Dyson has voiced his feelings in regard to what it will take to save Britain's manufacturing industry in a report commissioned by the country's Conservative Party.  An interesting read and plenty of UK reader comments follow.

M00seUK and vacmanuk, I'll be glad to learn what you think.

In my 3 plus years here in Vegas, I've not seen any new homes' construction with whole house attic fans installed, even customized homes.   Nor older homes with these whole house fans.  Central air is the norm with room ceiling fans and portable room fans/AC units.

They are still awaiting the discovery or dehydrated water.  Simply add water to the bottle of dehydrated water and fill the washer.

I went to BB today to pass time.  I paid a little more attention to the fan.  I like the concept, the smoothness and quietness.  I do not like the price.  Even if I needed a fan.

But i still have my $30 high vlcty aloha breeze 20in fan from wally thats not too loud and works wonders in a stuffy house ....shop. a true blessing when the a/c goes out on a humid day in concert with cieling and attic fan....dont know how you guys lived without no a/c back in the day......

You don't miss it until you've had it.  Humidity is not a problem here in the desert.  Tops 10 percent humidity with 120 degree temps in July.  Winds and sand are huge problems even on very hot days.  2 reasons also for not opening windows and/o using fans that are exposed and/or subject to these outside elements.

Well . . . people opened windows and doors.  That's what screens are for.  (Grandpa always said, there's more than one way to skin a cat.) AND if the house was well designed air would start moving.  The whole-house/attic  fan helps the idea along. 

Unfortunately a lot of what was done in past may only be good for some -- especially in places where everybody's piece of the pie is stacked on top of someone else's.

Looks like Sir James' conservative candidate Cameron didn't make the cut with only 309 votes.  Neither did Brown or Clegg.  Bad scitchiation.  Especially with Greece and the euro.  Our strongest and best ally is having a very bad day.  Any predictions on when the next election will be held?  I'm betting before Nov 2010.  Have to see what the Vegas line says.

BTW anyone who thinks finger fumble caused the 998 NYSE DOW decline in 6 minutes yesterday must be a bagless vacuum buyer with the mantra the higher the price the better the product!

Oreck would be a good product rather than just an expensive broom if higher price was part of the criteria.

Amazing you Brits.  Brown steps down; Cameron and Clegg, as unlikely partners as dyson and ORECK, form a coalition UK government.  Wonder if this is a precursor of things to come in the vacuum world?

Curious...are the dyson new hires and  his current team all dedicated to the design/engineering  of his vacs or are they spread out in diff divisions..alotted so much time for each project.....how many design team/engineers does his compitition have [riccar pansc hvr..ect] .

With his new hires...would that not reflect as  a positive for dyson and the future.
