DYSON TO MERGE WITH KIRBY!!!

I would love to see a bagless Kirby. Not that I'm a Kirby fan, but it might improve sales - it's hard to find many Normal Regular Average people who want a bagged cleaner today. Plus Kirby bags are $10 for 2 bags. A Multi-Cyclonic Kirby would be awesome. It will never happen, Kirby's engineering department is too busy trying to save a few pennies by making the handle with less metal, to worry about actual improvements to the system.
 
Kirby will manufacture only the finest floor care system money can buy, therefore they  will never consider making a bagless vacuum cleaner of any type. Bagless vacs have too many failure points. There are too many rubber seals that deteriorate over the years causing loss of suction and dust leakage. Also there is no practical way to make a bypass air bagless vacuum that can produce the amount of airflow and cleaning ability as the current Direct air Kirby.
 
The rumour I hear is that Warren Buffett (via Berkshire Hathaway) is in talks to buy Dyson. Clearly Dyson has some upward potential, but the company has been poorly managed and has no focus. James will continue on in an advisory role, but will step down as CEO. Obviously Dyson will not be merging with Kirby, but it (Dyson) will soon be a part of Buffet's empire. Will be interesting to see if the stock takes off or plunges when the news hits. Too soon to tell if there will be any cross-breeding between the companies post-merger. they could offer an optional bagless conversion for Kirby, if only to get rid of that pesky Keeler guy. there are talks of using it for demos (better than the little coffee filters) and/or for wet pick up. They've added the bare floor cleaner, but they really need a way to suck up the liquids. The high end Kirby bagless conversion will likely offer an aromatherapy option in order to provide customers with a way to purchase consumables. sorry, but I can't add anymore details at this point.
 
I knew it was April Fools as soon as I read the Topic!

Oliver, you need to take a chill pill. I was replying to dysonman1 (aka Tom Gasko) in Reply # 5.


 


I don't think he was joking.


 
 
Marcus - Dyson will thrive under Buffett's leadership. Dyson will lay off the 45 Dyson engineers who are still trying to design a brush roll. James Dyson will be able to take his winnings and work nearly full time at his foundation doing the work he loves.
 
If someone really wants the "bagless" Kirby-how bout having Kirby bring back the dump bags and Sani-emptor as an option for customers that want a "bagless" machine.I like the Kirby Filtrete bags-no bagless Kirby for me!If you want the bagless or dump bag Kirby-just be sure to dump the bag or bin OUTSIDE! This was easily done with the Rainbow.When I used mine-just simply dumpted the dirty water bin outside in the plant bed.When I was a kid-my Dad would dump the Kirby dump bag outside in the plant bed.Forget the dumb paper gag.I actually like how Kirby has stuck with their system that WORKS rather than risk failure changing it.I am currently enjoying my Avalir!Really nice machine.It was worth the wait!When you read the Kirby proof books and have the demo--the salesman does do a good job of having buyers switch from a dusty,dirty,high maintenance bagless machine to a Kirby.The salesman I bought from has MANY Dysons and other bagless vacuums in his trade in piles!Folks will buy the bagless machines-but when they find out they have to clean or replace filters-then they will change their minds!Same with the Vac shop I go to all the time in my area-the man there gets bagless machines offered to him for trade towards Meile,Sebo and other bagged vacuums.Often the bagless machine gets dumpstered becuase its so dirty and dusty.He doesn't want to spend the time cleaning them up.Yes,even Dysons have been dumpstered at this shop.Most he gets are really bad.
 
It's a damn shame we don't produce vacs here in the UK that are every bit as good as in the US if not better because we are more than capable of it don't you think Chris?
And it wasn't me who started this it was meant to be an April fool joke!
