Supersweeper,
It isn't just this thread. On nearly every other thread you have participated in, you either constantly bash dyson or rave and rant about Kirbys. I, and very few other people don't go onto other similar threads such as this and say "the Kirby is rubbish, my sebo is better", or "My miele will outclean such and such". Maybe that might be the case. But you only seem content on either raving or bashing one vacuum cleaner or another. Other people on this thread have said things like they like it, looks like a nice vacuum, or I wish they did this or that, etc. That is fine, or if you don't like it, so what? That is a discussion! But the constant, repetitive same old is just irritating.
Your sarcasm when it comes to "inferior dyson" is to much its tacky. Look at what you have put. It is you particularly I am having a problem with, and others are as well. Just take it down a notch. I have said this a lot foo times now, have your opinion, express your opinion, but be mature and decent about it. Constantly bashing or raving one particular brand or another is repetitive and not interesting. We are supposed to be vacuum enthusiasts. Just like car enthusiasts, you can have brand loyalty but respecting and acknowledging that SOMETIMES, other manufactures make nice products as well is what its all about. Like I said, I have sebos, numatics, Bosch, Vax and Bissells and they are brilliant products.
I have criticised dyson in the past and will continue to do so. Not everything they make is wonderful, but a lot of their stuff is. That is just my opinion. Same as sebo, arguably the felix is their best model, however I don't think the X1.1 is as good as it cane be due to the automatic height adjustment.
Basically, be a bit more diverse !
