Seems like you'd be better off using a leaf blower than a vacuum. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/N-5yc1vZbxav

"That Riccar Radiance cleaning the carpet ever for the first time ever with that Airway nozzle---- hmmmm!!" - I thought it was a pretty funny parody. Just like I thought the picture of you with the blue gloves was a good parody. Neither should be taken too seriously, hopefully, they were...

Rob Shore said: "Greg filled my Subaru Forester with several Filter Queens that he bought off Tom Gasko at the museum!! One of them he used to clean our motel room with!" Just curious, did the Filter Queen remove any significant amount of dirt from the rug and/or mattress?

With all due respect, how in the world are they thieves? They simply resell whatever is donated to support their mission. there is no guarantee that there even was a vacuum donated with the attachments. It's a charity not a vacuum cleaner store. I'd be rather surprised if preservation of...

Regarding the first post: "Rob Shore with his blue rubber gloves - so he didn't have to 'touch' a Hoover!" (Post# 353535) Isn't that "Hoover" really a rebadged Tacony product?

If you're a costco member, you have this Husky as an option. The reviews look pretty good. http://www.costco.com/Husky-Storm-Central-Vacuum-System-with-Electric-Power-Head-Kit.product.100161400.html

So how was the convention?

thanks for posting. Would be nice to see how numbers change after ingesting say 10oz of dirt.

So are those light switches or something else above the ostrich fellow duster? Your electrical systems are a little different than ours. :-)

Andrew - rather than picking out a vacuum for your wife, why don't you let her pick now that you've done the research and can help guide her? If she's going to use it, it's best to make sure she likes it. Best of luck.

When making your measurements, is it necessary to adjust for the diameter of the hoses being tested?

I would recommend that you look at the Simplicity Wonder and the Riccar Prima as alternatives. You really don't have to spend $900+ to get a quality vacuum.

Unless you could get by with a suction only backpack vacuum, I don't think you're going to have much luck with any vacuum given the corrosive materials being picked up . You may want to use the lowest priced commercial vacuums available and consider them to be disposable, at least during the...

When Consumer Reports tested the Lindhaus Aptiva, I was surprised by how bad the results were. The Miele non-Eco uprights and Sebo Felix models have done well in Consumer Reports testing.

To state the obvious, you got a great deal.

Compact electra said: "I gave him a full refund and he will not return the machine to me. I asked for the shipping charges to pay for the return as well. As Fred S. said to me, if you take something back to Best Buy for a refund, you get the refund but you don't get to keep the item you...

When I attended my local home show, I was told that Rainbow has made some improvements to the current model. They claimed they had modified the software to make the machine adjust better to different carpet types, particularly the plush carpet. I know that the power nozzle was modified at...

What a ignorant and insulting question. Please at least read up on our vacuums before making baseless claims.

Regarding the original topic - "Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency" - who really knows what the engineers are up to? Does anyone track their patents? Even then you probably need to be an insider to have any idea what their engineers are up to. Engineers aren't the only ones...

Impfac - just curious, what kind of carpeting do you have? Do you have the newer ultraplush carpets, they can be difficult to clean. On another note, the latest Consumer Reports magazine came in the mail, and they mentioned the difficulties of cleaning ultraplush carpeting. Kenmore has a...
