The latest Dyson commercial is just plain stupid… the one with the rolling ball gimmick. I can’t tell you how many times I asked myself… “Darn my vacuum doesn’t turn” .. actually 0 times. Hey! Dyson should make a car that rolls on a big ball if they are so innovative. Why stop at vacuums. I’ll buy one … not.

I don’t have to break down comparisons. One thing matters to me the most, and that’s whether or not the vacuum gets my carpet really clean. I don’t even care if the cost of ownership is more than the Dyson. If you want a break down, I have recommended Consumer Reports previously in the comments section which pretty much goes along with what I’ve said in the article.

Eureka didn’t offer me anything for this blog post other than a great vacuum cleaner at a great price. The Hoover WindTunnel is also rated better.

Perhaps the others were bad models compared to my Dyson?

Perhaps the Boss, Eureka, Elextrolux and Kenmore models I owned were bad lemons?

Perhaps your Boss was a good model or that your needs for the vacumn simply didn’t compare to mine?

Oztech, honestly you should provide a more detailed analysis of the pros and cons on each of the products you compare. (Ie Hepa filter compliant, bag or no bag, cost comparison, partical pick up, allergen test, etc.) This would provide a bit more legitimacy to your article and look less like a cheezy sell out to Eureka or a personal vendetta against Dyson.

I am not cheering on any vacumn as each individual has unique needs, desires and cleanliness/allergen requirements. I am simply stating that more effort should be utilized in comparing/”bashing” products. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, however online journalism needs to take a higher stand than this pathetic article.

PS Did Eureka offer you something for the promo?

It doesn’t work because the motor went out on it after about only 8 uses. Yeah, too bad it isn’t made better!

I got a Consumer Reports account recently and I looked at the vacuums section. If you all had a look, John B is right. The Dyson doesn’t stack up against many others when it comes to keeping carpets clean. The Kenmore (Sears) model does better as does my Eureka Boss. Both at a much lesser price.

Do you think I’ll go for the new sexy Dyson pitch? No way. The electrolux maybe clunky and ugly but it works very well. I’ll stick what I know works, thankyou.
