I tried to save you from yourself, as it was eveident from your first post that your hatred was class related. You pushed and I gave in, my bad, but you asked for it.

You say it was rash, but thats because you were with me every step of the way whilst I purchased it. My little vacuum friend, OrooOroo, who always accompanies me when I buy stuff. So thats right, I made a rash decision, bought a really expensive vac that can't pull the skin off warm milk.

The test results are in your mind until you pony them up!

wow you still don't get it. of course you don't.

its telling you aren't actually argueing on the merits anymore(not that u were before really)..because really you know deep down you have no case to stand on. so now you just have to pretend i'm envious to make you feel better. sure you can do it if you want. but you know its not a real arguement, let alone a mature one. and frankly if you were rich you would have said that you felt it was pretty and didn't care about anything else long ago. because it wouldn't matter to you. your personal offense makes it obvious you aren't.

if you want to pwn me hard, you find those consumer reports results and show me wrong. you won't though, because you would rather be ignorant.

There's skin on warm milk?

 

[EvilYoda]

So I read the first 3 posts and the last one...wtf happened in the middle.

edit: I take that back...the cleaning that's necessary for tiling is probably best suited for something else.

I don't care what consumer reports says, I have owned 2 different Wind Tunnels and now own the Dyson. The Dyson beats the Hoovers hands-down.

The Dyson might be expensive right now, but believe me, when my wife bought our first Wind Tunnel, it wasn't cheap either.

As it turns out, I got the Dyson for free through work.... and again, it does a better job than the 2 Hoovers that I shelled out a lot of cash for.

If I hadn't gotten the Dyson for free, would I have still bought one? Absolutely.

I'm not trying to feel better. I have a vac I am very happy with and no ammount of pretend stats you pull from whichever orrifice you prefer will change that as fact.

You have a chip on your shoulder and hate it, even though you have never used it and never will. That you care THIS MUCH for something you will never buy is baffling.

If you are not envious then what is it that makes you rail so hard against it? It can't just be the psudo figures you keep touting, surely?!

No, the Dysons are crummy. Ask OrooOroo. He read somewhere that someone, who had a brother, who's sister used one at an Exhibition once said it was trash.

I really can't wait to hear how you didn't get the back to step out when you didn't take it to a track, whilst you weren't test driving that yuppie car.

lol, you just don't get it. really... if i read in consumer reports that the bugatti Veryon went 0-60 in X seconds i would trust that number. i could honestly compare to another car and say X car is faster then X car from 0-60. you couldn't say "oh noes you didn't drive a bugatti, how can you say it does 0-60 in X seconds"!!! thats bullsh*t and you know it. and no vacumn cleaners just clean, its just a 0-60 kind of spec that applies, vacumn cleaners dont' go around a track. they just suck up dirt.

Actually, CR does screw it up in some things. For instance, they think that Bose is the best thing EVAR!111one

Wait....... you mean they aren't?

 

[MajorMullet]

I also have a Dyson and love it.

To answer the OP's question, as others have said, something like the Hoover Floormate would be better for tile. My fiancee and I bought one for her mother in Indonesia, where the pollution turns the white tile floors almost black in a single day, and she seems to like it.

 

[KK]

I like my dyson because the beater bar has no belt that will stretch, and also that the beater bar is self adjusting. And it sucks pretty good also. I've had it for alittle less than a year. Hopefully it will last awhile longer.

because the delusional trying to sell falsehoods and get others to buy the same nonsense upsets me. it should upset anyone. delude yourself fine, don't try to screw other people while you are at it.

There are other testamonies in this thread from other Dyson owners, even one saying they had the Hoover you touted and that it was CRAP!!

Give it up.

 

[0roo0roo]

anecdotal evidence is piss poor and you know it. esp from owners comparing their OLD vacumns vs a new vacumn. its just sad you have to lie to yourself. its AVERAGE as said, nothing more. percieved effectiveness of something one pays a lot for, is primed by marketing with techno jargon claims of superiority, and looks good is always higher. its just the way it is. evidence from tests tell a different story.

and of course you get more testimonies for dyson. its a fad and status symbol. it feeds upon such testimonies. no ones going to brag about their hoover no matter how well it cleans. is it rational?

Is this basically a Bose vs everything else debate except this one sucks more?

Would you expect anything less from a thread about vacuums?

prove me wrong. no national security clearance required to gain access to the evidence. i'm lazy and frankly don't find it worth my effort to dig it up myself, whats your excuse? ignorance? willful ignorance? its one thing to buy something because its pretty blah blah, but its another to keep touting its supposed greatness when you frankly shouldn't be so sure of its superiority. its not a secret dysons done poorly in consumer reports not once but twice. i'm not making it up.and its last review was one or two months ago.

proof the reviews in question exist http://obviousdiversion.com/?p=222 the newer one reviews the one with a ball instead of a wheel.

Upright Vacuums Reviews

• In professional testing, the Dyson DC14 doesn't outperform the cheaper Eureka or Kenmore models above. Although reviews agree that the Dyson, which has won several design awards, is great looking and gets terrific suction and airflow, it still underperforms less expensive models on carpet.

I REALLY don't give a flying fvck about vacuums, but this retarded topic, lacking links, intrigued me enough to spend all of thirty seconds to track one down. Anyone else care to give it a shot?

Edit: It's not that the OP is retarded, just that the topic became retarded.

 

[0roo0roo]

still from the older review but still..

http://obviousdiversion.com/index.php?p=170
Is the Dyson Vacuum All It?s Cracked Up to Be?
Dyson Vacuum

The Dyson vacuum is attractive and certainly seems to have a lot of street cred with the geek crowd, but according to the January issue of Consumer Reports, it?s not the top of the heap. It?s not even close.

Consumer Reports tested thirty-two upright vacuums including the Dyson DC07 Animal. What place did the Dyson come in at? Thirteen, behind models from Hoover, Eureka, Kenmore, Kirby and Oreck; models generally cheaper than the DC07?s $620 US price tag.

They also tested fifteen canister models including the Dyson DC11 Full Gear. In this cateogry, the Dyson faired better coming in at third place, but it did so below two Kenmore models available at much lower prices.

 

[Gand1]

I OWN Dyson as well and do not feel I was swindled by the company. The vac work great and I didn't pay full price either. I've had the thing for almost 2 years now and still works like it was new. I wonder if that fact is in the consumer reports. Hmmm...

they have customer service reliability ratings for each manufacturer. but its not totally scientific since its self reporting. the dyson didn't have the least problems but i doubt they break that quickly anyways. any half decent vacumns these days regardless of brand last atleast a few years. its an appliance now, like a fridge. and no you do not feel swindled unless you are a believer..or blind follower. someone who's bought the marketing hook line and sinker and starts to try converting others... if you know what it is factually then it won't hurt in any way.

It is not. Consumer reports does not test any serious length of time, so clogging and lowered suction is not considered during the testing.

The drawbacks of Dysons are, IMHO:

1. Lower pressure on the brush, since it's automatically adjusting. Those that you set manually can push down on carpet more. Carpet agitation gives good cleaning power, though it is rather hard on carpet, especially berber.

2. Higher price

 

[0roo0roo]

well they did address that claim, because they said it didn't matter that much that the dysons suction supposedly woudln't drop anyways because the dysons suction wasn't that great in the first place, so it couldn't drop. even if the others did they had so much reserve suction it wouldt be all that bad.

Are you sure about that? I seem to recall the consumer report saying the dyson didn't pick up dirt well, not that it didn't have good suction. As the links above say, Wall Street Journal and Good Housekeeping both said that the suction was the strongest or strong.

Weak suction is easy to fix on a dyson: just make sure the filter housing is snapped all the way shut. If it isn't, the suction is TERRIBLE.
