Hay everyone...my first post here...now last night watching Qv¢ I noticed they were peddling the new Electrolux Nimble. I was laughing so hard because they said their demonstration was extreme. I guess they forgot about talc. powder and sometimes flour from the kitchen. I keep calling in on these channels for someone to pick up those things first to see all the dust come flying around the machine, then trying to pick up the dog kibble, big chunky things and so forth. I keep calling them & asking why don't they pick up powder or flour in their demo's but so far have not gotten anything back, which I already know the answer. OH...then one broke on live tv & couldn't get the camera off it fast enough.. & if you watch close enough there is kick back on some machines on the floor. These demo's keep airing throughout the day. If your going to demonstrate a vacuum on live tv, please try to make it look as realistic as possible..LOL... consumers are not as gulable as they think! Have a great one! CHEERS!!

Oh I forgot when they were showing a bissell (like the hoover guv) with the 30ft hose & it was wet and dry...well they picked up the water from a 5 gallon bucket to fast & something happened with the machine...it kept cutting off & on for 5 minutes..they finally panned away for some other tools that came with it & in the background you can hear them trying to take the unit off the wall & get it running. After showing how many uses it can do they came back to the host who looked frazzled, and wasn't doing such a good job trying to keep himself together and didn't try to pick up water in it again. I had to use the bathroom but didn't want to miss the comedy routine. I was watching the number of people that were purchasing it & after that performance needless to say, it didn't do so well after...LMAO

You would "THINK" that the fact that these Electrlux's look NOTHING like your grandma's Electrolux would be a slight clue. Admittedly, at first, when the name changed and these were beginning to be sold in stores, I didn't know that they were a different company. But I was smart enough to do some searching and quickly found out otherwise.
I wish someone had a link to the QVC video. I wanna see it |

I think at one time I saw that same machine here in the states but when I saw the set up, I stayed far away. I just couldn't believe how much debree was all over the carpet/floors. I have never seen anything like that in my life. Talk about extreme demo and I can only imagine the vacuum was thinking (i'm not pickin up that crap!) That's far worse then some of the disaster rooms i've seen in a massive check-out at the hotel after the girls soccer & basketball games!

i watched that windtunnell air this morning... they say that you can put it on the wall and it will "stay with its own suction"... well they made the mistake of showing rhe black seal thing stuck to the bottom of it. |

that she was extremely annoyed with him laughing. I wonder if that's the reason she kept making the simplest mistakes? If it were me I would have been oh so close to walking off the set! But him laughing is part of the reason it was funny. He couldn't contain himself. I kept asking myself (when she was saying she will never work with him again) if she was being serious or she was kidding; she kept saying things like, "I'm just ignoring you now and cleaning up." I'm sure she can look back on it now and laugh. But in the heat of the moment I'm sure it was terrible for her.
It did look really cool thought how it converted into a canister and had its own wheels and looked exactly like a canister (oh, sorry - cylinder) vacuum. |

They switched cameras when that happened too! Everything that could go wrong in that demo went wrong. She just probably didn't have something in the correct place because she was nervous and a mess from the previous mess-ups.
On a side note: Aren't those bagless upright vacuums with the filter INSIDE the collection bin the absolute worst kind of bagless vacuums? I've never had that type but I think the filters get clogged very quickly and are very expensive which defeats the purpose of a bagless vacuum. |
