Citroenbx, what is the point of this thread? and what do you mean by "Hoover turbomaster WINS"?

Please, can we keep the DC01 photo's contained in ONE thread? They are in really nice condition, but I'm sick of the sight of them.

There you go, that's exactly "what I think".

lol at Joe, but I think citroenbx might have Asperger syndrome, which is maybe why he is obsessed with his DC01's. It would be nice to know his real name, and his profile is so "anonymous" making him a bit of a mystery.

that doesn't mean he has to post pictures of his early dyson's  all the time, it also doesn't mean he has to use awful spelling and grammar, my opinion on the Turbomaster lasting 20 years is not a feeling of surprise, the older Hoover models were very durable and excellent deep cleaners. I am surprised at that panasonic only lasting 3 years, I always thought they lasted longer than this.

Sorry George, I've seen it so many times I've forgotten what it is! lol

Oh right, I never knew that! Yeah, it would be nice to know his real name.

Whether Citroenbx uses bad grammar etc maybe due to him having learning difficulties (Aspergers, Dyslexia, autism etc) or he may be very young. Without knowing how old he is, its hard to judge much about him - Citroenbx could even be a girl. I do think that people should fill in their profiles properly though so we know who we are talking with and how old they are. It would also lead to less critical postings of members.

Perhaps the webmaster could ask that members fill their profiles in and disclose age in order to be able to post on VL?

Why are you all picking on citroenbx?

He/she just happens to like the Dyson DC01, and just happens to have a different grammatical style.

 

Many people aren't comfortable with displaying their name, city, age, and other personal info. I do think a first name should be required, but not location, age, last name, etc.

I don't think anybody is meaning to pick on someone for having learning difficulties. As long as what the writer is trying to say comes across clearly enough and they've clearly tried to make sure that what they are saying makes sense, then there shouldn't be a problem. I had to ask citroenbx to rephrase what he'd said in another thread as it didn't make much sense to me, which he did and it was all fine.

I think the issue here is that this thread as no point and it's quite difficult to understand from the original post what citroenbx is hoping to gain or what info he is trying to provide. As it turned out, citroenbx is asking what we think of a Turbomaster lasting 20 years, which isn't the sort of thing one can really say a lot about and wouldn't prompt much of a discussion.

As for the personal details on your profile, maybe if we knew more about this member, we'd be able to understand where he's coming from with his posts a little better, which would make it less frustrating for citroenbx as he wouldn't need to try and rephrase or explain things again and, of course, easier for us to know what it is he's trying to get across.

It's not secret that we have members on here with learning difficulties and/or autism spectrum disorders, but we know those members and we're all a little bit more understand towards those people. Not that those members should be treated any differently to anybody else, just that people are generally more patient with them.

"Why are you all picking on citroenbx?

He/she just happens to like the Dyson DC01, and just happens to have a different grammatical style." I'm sorry, but there are only two kinds of grammatical style: CORRECT and ERRONEOUS. His/her's is the latter.

Jamie, have you seen all the previous threads?

Mmm Pot calling Kettle black there, Jamie..one only needs to look at your previous threads going on and on about your Hoover Senior Ranger.

Chris has summoned up the nature of this thread as eloquently and as neutral as any other member on this thread can. It isn't the fault of Citroenbx to form the opinion he has expressed.

Latterly too, we see examples on here of cherished vacuums by collectors who probably have vacuums that are older than the Turbomaster, but there is a distinct difference both by collector's vacuums and those owned by the average family who just see the vacuum cleaner AS a domestic appliance.

Of course one can argue easily that a vacuum cleaner's longevity depends very much on the existing parts it uses compared to the parts that might have had to be replaced over a period of time to keep it going - can one agree then that the Turbomaster has really lasted that long? Or has it stayed with ONE family where it gives performance year after year surviving on its original parts.

Same with my parents X1 - it is 15 years old this year and has been kept in the family, passed from member to member before it was returned to me last year. The SEBO has only required one drive belt in its life time. Thus, do I feel that the SEBO X series has lasted for 10 years or the original 13 years when it was with my family and required that one replacement to keep it going? Of course not because it has only required ONE major repair in all those years of ownership.

I don't have a problem with Citroenbx's writing, but the constant posts of DC01's and pics of other vacuums with a simple one line of "what do you think" seems sort of pointless. Just my thoughts.

Erhh by the way...

Jmmurray, I think the word you're looking for is HORRENDOUS. As is your spelling by all accounts.

It wouldn't surprise me if citreon has Aspergers, I do and it doesn't make me any different.

I agree, Dan. That and the threads with pictures of other people's vacuums in them. But as I said above, maybe if it what citroenbx was trying to say was clearer, we might not have such an issue. It's sometimes quite hard to decifer what citroenbx is hoping to gain from their posts. I'm sure that whatever he/she is trying to say makes perfect sense in citroenbx's head, but just isn't coming across very well online.

Precisely, Adam. And there is no reason why you should be treated differently to anybody else on here. The same rules apply to everyone.

Of course, for those with learning difficulties, we can all make allowances as long as that person is trying their best to make sure that what they are saying makes sense and is relevant. But it is quite obvious that a lot of posts along these lines are a bit pointless.

The original post here reads like citroenbx is telling us machines that they/their family members have previously owned and used, but that is what our personal member profiles are for and wouldn't really warrant a thread of it's own unless a specific question is asked like "what was your childhood vacuum" or "what did your relatives have?" etc, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

Alternatively

We all have the right and the ability to ignore anything which we don't like & is causing no harm.

When did I mention his fascination with DC01s? I criticised his grammar only.

"Jmmurray, I think the word you're looking for is HORRENDOUS. As is your spelling by all accounts."

Could you please show me an example where my spelling is horrendous? I'd really like to see it.
