    When's the next rainbow going to arrive?

    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...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    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...

    Kirby G series never picks up

    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...

    The VERY LAST MINUTE of Christmas!

    Very nice Christmas display. I'm with you on the after Christmas sales. My family racked up at the Hallmark store with ornaments discounted 85% this weekend. I would say that it's not showing off, it's having a lot of Christmas spirit.

    Researching Vacuums

    StrictlyBojack said: "The Cirrus, Riccar, Simplicity, Fuller Brush, Powr-Flite, Carpet Pro, are all the same basic machine design, all made, assembled, or imported by the Tacony corporation." I don't think the Cirrus is a Tacony product. It seems to be a Chinese copy. Hopefully the sage Tom...

    Some Advice needed

    So are you planning to purchase an Aerus Franchise for $50,000? I'm just wondering how this will work. If you aren't buying a franchise, why would Aerus sell you machines and supplies at wholesale? Is there an advantage to limiting yourself to Aerus products? Or would you do better as an...

    Interesting Simplicity Freedom

    Presumably Simplicity donated a small percentage of sales to a charity benefiting soldiers. I tried to google it, but only found a newspaper advertisement from back in 2005 that mentions getting a free handheld if you buy an upright and shows the same logo.

    Help to me to understand smaller...

    dm said: "Smaller, lighter, easier to maneuver vacs are just as sought after in the U.S. I don't think any typical person would willingly want to haul around the likes of a heavy, metallic Electrolux canister, or clunky Kirby upright, when they can breeze through clean up with a light weight...
