Vacuum cleaner exam :P

Well yes, ok, but what I refer to are aspects such as the way the tools are designed on the Dyson. For instance the wand handle on the uprights and the way the hose is attached. I am drawn to thinking that if consumers really desired such a design then the competition would have made more of an effort to duplicate this feature.

To be honest I don't think it crossed their mind - again, you have to weigh up the fact that so many brands didn't want cylinder sales to suffer. thus adding very little in the way of above floor cleaning designs on uprights, including a handle release hose attached and a hose that stretched to some distance. SEBO of course were different as they employed a patented hose and wand hoister release on the side of their uprights with nothing to do with the main handle of the vacuum.

Also during that time line of release, there were very few other brands who used clear hoses that could expand. Again, other brands just didn't "bother" experimenting with a stretch style hose that could compact within itself. Not to my mind anyway. [this post was last edited: 10/27/2013-13:41]
