I also saw the Hertage II Kirby pick up a VW. I haven't exactly seen a Dyson do that. Whatever you know what, I'm drug free and I'm going to be the bigger person and not say anything except God Bless and Merry Christmas

It's a little too late for that, Adam.
Here's a question for you though, since you're obviously so well informed about these things: what does lifting a car have to do with cleaning a carpet?

DC27
Jack, I decided to jump on this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120507094221&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I think the US DC27 dual motor is pretty uncommon. I couldn't resist this one at this price.
By my tally, you are now responsible for my adding a DC31 Animal, DC25 Blueprint, DC18 Full Access, and, arguably, the DC17 Animal to my collection in the last 5 weeks, as well as this most recent one, obviously. I hope you're proud of yourself. :x

Kirby
Kibryman, I have a lot of Kirby machines in my collection. I think they rock, but they're not the only machine in the world. Kirby it totes old school. Dyson is brand new. They both represent the pinnacle of effectiveness in their respective categories. If you wanna hate, pick something more important.
~Cheers!

i would have to side with jack on this one.
jack[vintagehoover] you have been an inspiration to me since i can remember, almost as much so as Stan kann[a man who will never be forgotten] and as far as that little punk "kirbyman89" i really don't think he needed to be as immature as he was, now i myself think the Kirby vacuums are better than Dyson, HOWEVER i do not hate Dyson in any way shape or form, i absolutely respect them as a company, and as a cleaner. they have made the average vacuum cleaner into something truly magnificent, the technology that they unveil, the new and beautiful designs that come with a newer model, and the support that you get with Dyson far surpass any cons that they have,[which are very little]. now just to throw this out there so you can't say something like "you don't really respect or appreciate Kirby's" yes i do, i have grown up around Kirby's my hole life, my very first Kirby was and still is my g4[hence the name] and it is sixteen years old, and runs like the day it rolled off the factory floor, my grandmother owns two herself, a 512 and a dual sanitronic 50, they are well over twenty five years of age and run better than new, my point is i will always put Kirby first when pitted against any other company, however Dyson will always remain my second best choice for a cleaner, you really can't get much better than a dyson, except maybe a hoover 800. anyway that is just my opinion, what do you think jack?

Outstanding vacuums
As I'm thinking of this, I'd say four makes of vacuums are tops for me: Kirby, Dyson, Miele, and Filter Queen. I have lots of experience with those.
A couple others could join that group: Tri-Star and Simplicity. I own new examples of both but haven't used them enough to be confident that they're as good as the others. I suspect they are, though.
Dyson is the only bagless machine on that list. (Filter Queens aren't bagless; the bag is just inverted and doesn't actually wrap around the dirt.)

I tried the Dyson DC25 at Kohls tonight...Very nice machine!
I would love to have one for my collection. I don't have any Dysons yet.

I was not being immature about the turd comment I made. It was merely a joke that evidently NO ONE GOT!!! It's called a sense of humor HAHAHAHA. As for you kirbyg4, I've never even met you, nor have you ever met me so therefore you don't know me nor do you have the right to call me a punk. I'm not a punk. I think it's pathetic about the crayon eating comments above and the sharpie sniffing comment because not only is it childish but it's not true and I'm better off without you people. I'm one of the single nicest people, but I speak my mind and I'm not afraid nor ashamed to do so. And also if you push my jackass button I can and WILL become your worst nightmare. So leave me alone, we are all different and have different taste. Here's my philosophy about Dyson and Kirby: Plastic vs. Metal and bags vs. bagless. End of story. God Bless, Merry Christmas, grow up and lighten up!

Oh and one last thought...
I sure don't hear anyone denying that Kirby is better than Dyson.

Sure the Dyson isn't metal. Sure its bagless, and yes, the Dyson looks more modern the a Kirby. BUT, the Dyson is made of polycarbonate, which is virtually bulletproof. It take a whole lot of deliberate abuse to destroy a Dyson. It also has the best bagless design ever conceieved. The Root Cyclone design effectively seperates the fine dust and grit from the larger particles, hair, etc while keeping the suction at its peak. It truly does not lose suction. In terms of looking modern, that only helps sales along. The Kirby is old looking, heavy, and costs WAYYYYYY too much money. It isn't worth $2500, its barely worth $400. Its hard to move in small areas because it is HUGE. Whereas the Dyson with the revolutionary ball system you can easily move around tables, chairs, and other furniture. And if James Dyson's design was so awful, WHY would the Queen of England knight him? Do you
realize how a cyclone works? Do you realize that your Kirby's bag has pores which clog with fine dust and dirt? When these pores are blocked, it's hard for the air to get through, therefore reducing airflow. But with a Dyson it sperates dust at in the inner cyclones of about 150,000 Gs. which get even the smallest particles out of the air. Which means that very very small amounts of dust make it to the pre-motor filter. Since it is so clean the only need for the HEPA filter is to capture carbon dust which will soon be uneeded since the DysonDigitalMotor has been invented.
I would EASILY say that the Dyson is a better designed, more efficient, and more appealing to the masses vacuum cleaner that will hand a Kirby its ass on a platter any day, any time, in any country.

And in conclusion
Adam, I am 15 years of age and would NEVER make the kind of rude and immature comments on or off a public forum. Just because your opinion differs, does not create a need for that sort of blatant idiocy. I hate Kirbys, but I'm not going to say something like "polish a t*** its still a t***". I mean, come on, if a 15 year old can carry himself with more decorum than a 20 year old, something is not right. Thank you. Good night, and Happy Holidays.

Interpret the deafening silence in response to you however you choose. For my part, I won't engage, since my efforts aren't likely to yield much. Go debug yourself and then talk to me. If that remark about one's worst nightmare was directed at me, you might want to get to know me a little before you elevate yourself to a position of such potency, even if only colloquially. My worst nightmares are pretty awful, usually involve some tragic mishap, and are unlikely to be effected by the rantings of an insolent and impulsive child. In any case, 20yoa is old enough to have at least a modicum of manners. If you were 10, I'd dismiss your statements. At 20, I'm more likely to dismiss you.
For what it's worth, your mistake was in busting something that is your counterparts' passion without, significantly, an even nominal attempt at rationalization. That doesn't contribute anything to the discussion, it just offends the people who have some interest in the target.

This is a good thread. If you decide to intervene here, please just delete the relevant posts, including mine. I'd like this thread to be able to continue, if Jack is willing.

The only downfall of the DC25 is it's cord is shorter than 30 feet. Dyson should have put a 30 foot cord on the DC25.
The brushroll on the DC25 is just right...Not too stiff and not too soft. Not too aggressive and not too wimpy either.

'I sure don't hear anyone denying that Kirby is bett
Adam, what you've apparently failed to grasp is that there's no such thing as 'best', because 'best' depends on the needs of the individual consumer. If it was universally agreed that Kirby was indeed 'the best', everyone would have one. This is NOT the case, because frankly, not everyone wants a 25lb, $2000 vacuum. Sorry if this is a harsh reality for you to face, but people have the freedom to choose, and to spend their money on whatever they want.
Before your hilarious turd-polishing "joke", this was a pleasant thread started by John Young for the purpose of discussing differences between certain Dyson machines. It wasn't Dyson vs. Kirby, or Dyson vs. anything. No one was 'bashing' or 'attacking' any other brands, or throwing around threats and obscenities.
If you want to contribute to this thread, I'd politely request that you reassess your attitude. However, since this is a Dyson-related discussion, and you’ve already made your feelings about the company and its products quite clear, I’d suggest that for the sake of forum members who I’m sure are becoming annoyed with this exchange, you start your own Kirby-related thread, where you can share your fascinating insights and sophisticated sense of humour with a more appreciative audience.
Thanks, and Merry Winterval.
