    We're on our 2nd Dyson, which has about had it, Meanwhile we have a Hoover that's 20yrs old and still works fine.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I have to defend Dyson a bit.

    We used to go through a vacuum every year it seemed.  They were just no match for our dog(s).

    The Dyson did the trick.  It thoroughly did its job, and lasted a long time (comparatively with other consumer vacuums in 2000s).  After about 8 years, we had to replace it, and we purchased the same model.

    I understand  but that was a past generation and not the people in the UK s doing. To hate a whole set of countries is extreme. We love you if it's worth anything.

    My solution to bad vacuums was getting rid of every scrap of carpet, lol. Now I'll I need are Swiffer products! ;)

    The Dyson bladeless fans are super good. We have a 12" (14"?) one in our conference room at work and I'm jealous of the conference room, lol. It's true what they say - no buffeting.

    but those work great
    Agreed.  I love when a restroom has these.
    So much force and they work great...I can't help but to wonder what kind of germs and funk they are blowing ONTO my hands.
    That is a damn good question. I just recently read an article about exactly that. Turns out that quite a bit of bacteria gets caught in air blowers over time, and then they blast it all over our hands. Paper towels are ALWAYS the most sanitary way to go by far. But if I had to choose an air hand dryer, I'd choose the Dyson. They definitely work the best, and you spend the least time with your hands in the bacteria trap compared to other kinds, lol.

    I don't like the connection to the Queen either, but it's well worth being a member of the commonwealth IMO. It only serves to benefit Canadian citizens at the end of the day.

    We do not benefit from a relationship with UK.  They benefit from us.  The UK have nothing to offer Canada.  I sincerely hope to see a Canadian PM with balls that one day will tell the UK and commonwealth to go FUCK themselves...

    You think time heals all wounds ... 

    Has the head bitch (queen) or any PM ever apologized for the genocide committed against aboriginals anywhere in the world.  Or is apologizing un British like?  The history of the Royal family reads more like a mob family, yet so many hold them in high regard, what's up with that?  2 institutions that need to go the Catholic Church and monarchies...

    This could go in the "Weird questions in the middle of the night" thread but I have to ask, why is it called a "vacuum" cleaner?  I mean, it's not really creating a vacuum is it?  If I'm not mistaken, it's just a high powered fan pulling in air mixed with dust, dead matches, fur balls, dirt, roaches, table crumbs, pollen, paperclips, assorted dried effluence and mites, and capturing all those particles in a bag while letting the air pass through a semi-permeable filter back into the room.  What the hell does this have to do with a "vacuum" for crying out loud?!  Well I get pissed when they misname thing, damn it!

    Mielle I have read are way ahead of Dyson.  Not that long ago, I believe they were still Made in Germany.  I think Dyson is in Asia now.

    A quick Google search, and yes indeed they are made in Germany ...

    Vacuum cleaners create a partial vacuum by reducing air pressure. It's not a full vacuum, but it's still a reasonably correct usage of the word.

    I think they suck more than vacuum.  They should be called Dust Suckers.  Better ones should be called Super Suckers!

    I was only kidding about the drama.  Someone wanted more drama.  I'm happy to oblige! :smiley:
