Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

Amazing to me how such a humble household appliance provokes such strong passions.

Not gonna lie, it can be intense at times.

 

[centralsweeper63]

They are pretty much the same thread. It isn't worth arguing about. I think the, lets say, strong opinions are because of how passionate people can be about vacuums. Just have a look at this thread and you can plainly see that there are opinions, different experiences and many other influences.

Yes, or at least called it the wrong thing and then died on the hill defending it.

Not where I saw you reference it. What your graph and theory shows is logarithmically regressive, not stochastic.

Two entirely different versions of the same thread.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Pretty much.

It would be nice if OP offered some choices from Lindhaus, Miele, Vorwerk, Lux International, Kenmore, Aerus, Cirrus or Titan. It is as if he or she ( ? ) is unaware such brands even exist.

 

[centralsweeper63]

I agree with you cheesewonton.

I offered the last option.

 

[cheesewonton]

I offered the last option.

None of the brands I mentioned are cheap knock-offs of anything. They are premium vacuums with design and engineering histories that pre-date any of us here. Vorwerk has been around making vacuums for well over 100 years making quirky, original, sometimes strange but functional vacuums kind of marching to their own beat. Electrolux AB is 106 years old ( though the firm named Lux AB who merged with another to become Electrolux was formed in 1909 ) and set the pattern for countless canister vacuums that followed. Miele is another very old company. All three vacuum makers pre-date the birth of James Dyson's parents and are among the pioneers in the vacuum industry. Have you ever used a vacuum from any of the brands I mentioned?

Uh oh. Ask @Vacuum Facts again. I wanted diversity, not mockery.

So this relates to a beef I have with almost every one of these "10 best" or "12 best" vacuum comparison, cough cough, "tests" on the internet. The only vacuums compared are kludge ! Nobody ever looks at good vacuums from the brands I mentioned except Miele manages to get into every test along with a Bissell Zing. All people look at are what gets promoted on Amazon or what is for sale at Wally World and Target. Kludge. There is this whole world of high quality, high performance vacuums out there that are so much better than the flimsy brittle junk in those comparisons. Likewise there are so many great vacuums out there this poll misses. Instead you roll all these wonderful products from companies that pre-date any of the other brands in the comparison into "cheap knock-off" category. Companies that have been around for over 100 years and who often set the industry standards other manufacturers would follow are not cheap knock-offs.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Exactly Cheesewonton!

I should've made the choice even clearer.

 

[centralsweeper63]

How do you mean? I made that comment towards the "10 best vacuum" videos.

 

[FilterQueenEthan]

I have one, and for what they are they are decent.

 

[centralsweeper63]

What one do you have sorry? Been a while since I was on this thread, so I can't completely remember the topic. I will read more later tonight or tomorrow though.

Link?

 

[centralsweeper63]

These are just some examples.

 

[cheesewonton]

Notice there isn't even one decent quality vacuum in any of those tests. It's all Amazon or big box store kludge. The morons who make these videos probably don't even know brands like Sebo, Pro Team, Carpet Pro, Aerus or Lindhaus even exist.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Exactly. That is why they are all so useless.

For sure! They know what is pushed towards them by a hot chick influencer not the top-flight equipment we all want. Like I have said for years fake money buys the "it girl" items. The real money sees a machine as an investment and buys the top of the line vacuum. They may forgo luxury items on a car for example.

If you want to see hot ladies advertising vacuums look at some of the Lindhaus company videos, especially the one for the Diamante. Almost wants to make me move to Italy.

The Italians know how to sell their machinery!

 

[centralsweeper63]

They do indeed!

 

[FilterQueenEthan]

They do indeed!

They build many of what are considered the world's finest cars! Tractor design they are lacking though.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Lovely everything really.

My first visit to Germany in a small town I saw a dealer selling Lamborghini farm tractors. I never imagined!
