Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I'd like to introduce the forthcoming DYSON GALLERY. This will be a sight dedicated to a truly amazing instrument. The Dyson DCO7:
Is it really so unnatural for a 40+ year old man to feel a deep emotional attachment to a powerful suction device? It's worth $300... believe me.
For those of you without longhaired pets, you might not ever really understand... |

Don't have a dog...
But I do have Long Hair.
And I'm going bald.
Maybe I need one of those Dyson things. |

Location: Stow, Ohio | My wife and I just purchased oneof those.
I have to say we are impressed with it.
It is also much quieter than our other vacuums, still the cats run fo cover when we fire up the purple monster.
the thing came with tons of attachments.
Highly recommended. |

The old Kirby's are KILLAH!!!
I remember back in '76 seeing Crosby/Nash and Crosby had a "Hoover" logo on the grille of his guitar amp . . . no doubt celebrating his nasal prowess . . . |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Slim taper or wide neck? Seriously, I'm an absolute sucker for needless home show devices and contrivances. Among a wide assortment of useless gadgets, we have a $200 iron that won't pop a balloon, a $400 mixer that will make soup, ice cream and peanut butter in the same minute, a shop vice so dang complicated that I needed the advice of a mechanical engineer to set it up, and a device that simultaneously cleans both sides of a window, but doesn't work on double-panes, which is all that I have. Heaven help me if I ever go to guitar show. |

Location: south east Michigan | Let it be known that I am not one of those Ovation Elitist Snob kinda guys.
I can't wait to see what the '07 Dyson Collectors model is gonna look like.
I have grown a thick skin over such comments as.. "Those Dyson's really suck!" I realize these kinda remarks are from people who just don't get it.
I know my Dyson is different than others of it's kind. That is what attracted me to it in the first place. The science behind it is nothing short of amazing.
This thing is such a cannon that when I fire it up, the house lights dim. |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | We alson have a Dyson. I cant remember the model number though. Pearl thought that the price was high for a vacuum. I told her that we spent almost three hundred dollars for our first vacuum and almost that much on the bags over a fifteen year period.
I wasthe first to test the vacuum at home. I used it over a small area about 7'by 7'. I didn't pay any attention to the cannister. When I came back I looked at the cannister and it was half filled already. I thought that there was only going to be a clump of dust in the container. WOW!! I never realized how deep into the rug this sucker cleans. We have had it for almost two years now and are very happy with. |

That's what sets the OFC apart. We tend to be open minded to new innovations but we aren't afraid to acknowledge that other brands suck as well. Are string tubes available for these yet? Also, I heard that you can get a better idea of how much these suck if you stand across the room from someone else using one. :D |
