Okay...
I just have to nit-pick here, I didn't attend any of these conventions, nor did I visit any collector's house, but I still feel like I need to say something. Tom, you are right in the fact that all companies use some sort of "marketing gimmick" at one time or another. What company doesn't do that? I'd go so far as to say that you are biased when it comes to brands, and I don't blame you for being biased towards your own company, but you don't get to bash the others. I am 99% certain that you use marketing tactics in your company. There's nothing wrong with that, but you cannot criticize other companies when you're doing the exact same thing. Nobody knows it all, some know more than others, but you're being unfair and hypocritical. There's nothing wrong with Rainbow or Filter Queen. Hell, I don't even like using Tacony machines! Have you seen the reliability ratings? You can't honestly say that they're 100% American-Made when half the parts are from China.
Just for the record, I am a Kirby fan. I have had no issues with any of mine. I don't care if the company "lies to the customers". They've done me no wrong. Good day to you, sir.
