Boeing 747-8 advert not misleading
Boeing was not guilty of using misleading figures in an advert comparing its 747-8 to the A380, according to ASA
The UK's advertising watchdog has ruled a Boeing advert did not use misleading figures to compare their aircraft to Airbus'.
The Boeing advert, which ran late last year in trade magazine Flight International, said its 747-8 wide-body jet had a "26 per cent trip cost advantage over the (Airbus) A380" and was "8 per cent more fuel efficient per seat".
In a ruling announced today, Britain's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it had not upheld a claim by Airbus, a unit of EADS, that the advert was misleading and contained statements that could not be substantiated.
Fuel efficiency is becoming increasingly important for airlines against a backdrop of high jetfuel prices, so performance claims are a hot issue for Boeing and Airbus, fierce rivals who slug it out for the lion's share of the $100bn (£65bn) a year global jet market.
The ASA said it agreed with Boeing that the advert was the result of extensive technical analysis and was unlikely to mislead the type of industry experts who read Flight magazine.
"The intended audience would understand that the comparisons were based on modelling and assumptions, would be familiar with the method of comparison used and would seek more information before making a decision to purchase," the ASA said. "We concluded that the advert was not likely to mislead."
Airbus also objected to the statement that the "fuel burn per seat" figure was based on attributing 555 seats to the A380 and 467 seats to the 747-8, taking no account of "seat pitch", which generally provides more space on the A380.
Airbus said the comparison was unfair because if the 747-8 was brought up to the same comfort standard as the A380 in terms of seat pitch, it would be arranged with only 405 seats, significantly increasing its fuel burn per seat.
The ASA said the advert's target audience would understand that the plane's highly-customisable nature meant any efficiency claims based on fuel burn per seat would be subject to "considerable variability depending on a customer's exact specifications".
A Boeing spokesman said the company was glad the ASA had dismissed what it called "unfounded complaints". An Airbus spokesman said the company maintained Boeing's failure to use comparable seat counts in its advert skewed the statistics.
The ASA also said the information provided by Boeing in its advert would be unlikely to impact the decision-making of airlines, who are given access to vast amount of technical and supporting documentation by planemakers.

Bin Laden's death puts exclamation point on Al Qaeda's demise
A threat remains from the Al Qaeda core as well as the splinter groups it inspired. But bin Laden's global terrorist franchise and its grand vision of challenging 'imperialist' America is waning.
Hamid Mir/Ausaf Newspaper for Daily Dawn/Reuters
Osama bin Laden meant everything to Al Qaeda. Founder. Charismatic cheerleader. Principle fundraiser.
But his death may end up meaning very little to a terrorist group that has been in a long, slow period of decentralization and decline. While Al Qaeda and its offshoots are likely to plot fresh attacks, and Mr. bin Laden has an obvious successor in his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, the franchise's grand vision is unlikely to hold the appeal it once did under the Saudi terrorist leader.
Yes, bin Laden was the face of Al Qaeda, a revered figure among the jihadi wannabes who haunt militant chatrooms, where his continued survival made him a potent symbol of defiance.
"Whether bin Laden provided material assistance or not to actual terrorist attacks, his act of survival provided spiritual sustenance to supporters," says Ray Takeyh, a Georgetown professor and senior fellow in Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. "That's been removed."
Bin Laden's likely successor
Mr. Zawahiri, an Egyptian cleric, is haughty and droning with little of bin Laden's ability to inspire others to carry out terrible deeds. All this makes bin Laden's death a loss for the traditional core of Al Qaeda based in Pakistan.

Tiger Woods out of FedEx Cup finale
LEMONT, Ill. -- Tiger Woods' FedEx Cup season ended Sunday with little fanfare, save for the drama that accompanies a round with Phil Mickelson.
The final round of the BMW Championship saw Tiger and Lefty paired together. Mickelson got the best of Woods, shooting a 4-under 67 to Woods' 1-under 70, at Cog Hill.
It was the first time the top two players in the world played in the same group this year. They had not played together since last November in China at the HSBC Champions, a tournament Mickelson won.
The last time they were paired together in the United States was at the 2009 Masters, where they played a riveting duel but finished behind tournament champion Angel Cabrera.
"I've played better than I have all this year. But it is what it is. I didn't qualify, and since I'm at home it also gives me two weeks to practice and prepare.
" -- Tiger Woods
Sunday's pairing had little of that aura. Both players were seemingly out of contention and it was clear early that Woods would not be able to muster a low enough round to advance to the Tour Championship, where the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings will play at East Lake in Atlanta starting Sept. 23.
"Obviously I would rather be there,'' Woods said after his tie for 15th in the tournament left him 42nd in FedEx Cup points. "I've played better than I have all this year. But it is what it is. I didn't qualify, and since I'm at home it also gives me two weeks to practice and prepare.''
Woods' reference was to the Ryder Cup, which begins Oct. 1 in Wales. Two of his U.S. teammates -- at-large picks Rickie Fowler and Stewart Cink -- also failed to advance to Atlanta.
The other nine members of the team will be at East Lake, led by Matt Kuchar, who is first in FedEx Cup points. Dustin Johnson, Steve Stricker, Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson, Zach Johnson and Jeff Overton are all eligible for the FedEx Cup finale.
Despite a final-round 77, Bo Van Pelt snagged the final spot in the Tour Championshp, edging Bill Haas. Fowler, who shot a 73, was 32nd in points. Charlie Wi, who was in contention Sunday before a final-round 74, tied for eighth and dropped out of the top 30 to 33rd.
The only European Ryder Cup team member to advance was Luke Donald, as Rory McIlroy finished 36th and Ian Poulter, with a final-round 75, ended up 39th. A couple of Europeans who were not picked by captain Colin Montgomerie, Paul Casey and Justin Rose, also made the 30-man field in Atlanta, where Mickelson will defend his title.
Mickelson, who struggled to score during the first three rounds of the tournament and was among several players who criticized the redesign of the Cog Hill course, saved his best for last.
It didn't hurt that he was paired with Woods. They have now been grouped together 26 times in PGA Tour-sanctioned events, and Mickelson evened up their head-to-head record at 11-11-4.
Mickelson has now gone 6-1-1 in their past eight meetings and Woods has not fared better since the second round of the 2008 U.S. Open.
"I enjoy it,'' said Mickelson, who tied for eighth at the BMW. "He certainly brings the best out in me. That wasn't the case earlier on. But I feel like he gets the best out of me now.''
There wasn't a whole lot of banter between the two, but Mickelson said they did briefly discuss the Ryder Cup and how "we're both looking forward to going over there.''
And despite Woods being 3-over par through 8 holes -- he was 4 over for the last 10 -- Mickelson does not believe Woods' game is far off.
"I think his game is inches from being there,'' Mickelson said. "His speed is back. He's solid, very close. He's hitting shots. He didn't pull off a few today, but he hit a lot of good shots there coming in.
"He made a couple of bogeys and followed up with a number of birdies there toward the end. But you can tell that his game is like inches from turning because his speed is back and his putter looks great. I mean, his game is not that far off at all. It looks very close to being right there.''
This will be the first time since turning pro at the end of 1996 that Woods will miss a tournament because he was not eligible. But it is the third time in the last five years that he will not be at the Tour Championship.
Woods skipped it in 2006, then won the FedEx Cup in 2007 and 2009. He missed the Tour Championship in 2008 due to injury.
And unless he is able to win the HSBC Champions in China, he will go an entire year not winning a PGA Tour-sanctioned event for the first time in his pro career.
As is his custom, Woods chose to look at the positives of the situation. He will use the next two weeks to work on his game, the first extended time he will have at home since starting work with instructor Sean Foley at the PGA Championship.
"I can practice at home with Sean in peace and away from everybody and put some work in and also work on my short game and my putting, things I have not been able to do out here,'' he said "It'll be nice to work on all these little things and concentrate on my game a little bit more and sharpen up, be ready come Friday [of the Ryder Cup]."

Cardinal Foley calls trip to Holy Land inspiring, informative
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- U.S. Cardinal John P. Foley said his first trip to the Holy Land as grand master of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher was "both inspiring and informative."
While he was struck by the "very distressing" living conditions of Bethlehem's residents and the restrictions on some seminarians' freedom to travel, he was also touched by the enthusiasm and faith of the area's Christians, the cardinal told
Catholic News Service
Jan. 18.
His Jan. 7-13 trip to Jerusalem, the West Bank, Jordan and "all the major shrines" was "a great joy" and "very necessary for me in my new job."
Pope Benedict XVI named Cardinal Foley pro-grand master of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher in June. The chivalric organization is dedicated to supporting the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and to responding to the needs of Catholics in the Holy Land.
The 72-year-old Philadelphia native had not been to the Holy Land since 1977, he said, "and what a way to go as cardinal, I must say."
He met with numerous bishops, dignitaries, and local Christians and helped celebrate Mass at a number of venues, including at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher which, the cardinal said, was a very moving experience "especially given my new job."
In meetings with local pastors, the priests "were very clear and forthright" in outlining what aid they had received from the chivalric order and what now were their most urgent needs, the cardinal said.
Their No. 1 priority, he said, was additional funding for Catholic schools.
"The cost of living is going up and they can't afford to give raises to the teachers," he said.
He said Catholic school officials "don't want to lose their teachers" -- some of whom are leaving to work in better-paid public schools.
The schools are crucial for helping the minority Christians "maintain a Christian identity," Cardinal Foley said. Since Latin-rite Catholics, Melkite Catholics, Greek Orthodox and even Muslims attend the schools, these institutions also foster understanding and peace in multifaith communities, he said.
Seeing how people in Bethlehem, West Bank, were affected by the Israeli security barrier "was very, very distressing," he said. Some people cannot access their land on the other side of the barrier, a series of concrete slabs and barbed-wire fences, and while Israeli settlements have sprung up on contested lands.
"They're very unhappy, Christians and Muslims alike," he said.
The cardinal said he was struck by how enthusiastic and strong in their faith the Christians of Zerka, Jordan, were. Meeting with and celebrating Mass for "the descendents of the first Christians" was very inspiriting, he said.
He said he also was impressed by "the quality of the students and enthusiasm" of the seminarians in Beit Jalla near Bethlehem, despite "the frustration of not being able to return home for Christmas." Visa restrictions had prevented nearly half the students from leaving the West Bank for the holidays, he said.

NOTTINGHAM, UK – Over the last few weeks British ice hockey has been under the microscope on here with articles and interviews with leading lights in the sport and in particular former Great Britain international Marc Twaite whose career was cut short through injury.
Marc wants people to know what he went through, and what the fallout of it was This Marc's story in his own words:
"During the season where the Cardiff Devils opted to drop out of the old Ice Hockey Superleague (ISL) into the British National League (BNL) due to finances and the previous players from the 1999/2000 having difficulties with owner Bob Phillips, I joined them for the start of 2000/01 season in the BNL. After only 2 months a meeting was called by Mr Phillips where there were 45% paycuts being handed out along with the following week 5 imports gassed! This then made me as a player, that was representing myself as I didn't have an agent as in those days agents weren't really widely used in British hockey, speak to the likes of Chris McSorley then GB international coach and London Knights head coach, in the ISL, at the time to see what he thought I should do, as I was hoping to be going with the national team to the World championships in 2001.
Mcsorley and Paul Thompson, now GB coach and Coventry Blaze head coach, made some calls for me and within 2 days Mike Blaisdell, my old coach when with the Nottingham Panthers a few years earlier, got in touch from the Sheffield Steelers. Mike offered me a contract that I was happy with and a great chance to get back into the ISL, where there were only 6 British players out of 190 players registered. A fax came through from the ISL office were it stated my net salary and dates along with the team I was registered with. I signed and forwarded it on.
My first game was away to the Belfast Giants the day after I'd registered and the Steelers at that time were struggling with injuries and we only had 11 players on the roster that game. My line mates were Rick Brebant and former NHL'r Brad Laur, We ended up losing 6-1 against a very solid Belfast team. 2 days later was away back in my home town Nottingham against my former team and coach Alex Dampier. Again we lost 3-1 due to lack of bodies. The team was given 2 days off before we were back on the ice for practice at the Sheffield Arena. After several drills we had a scrimmage being 4 on 4. The puck was loose and myself and 6ft 4 Scott Allison went for it and collided. The impact of two players skating at 30mph is a 60mph impact and my right shoulder cracked, leaving me lying on the ice for a few seconds. Once I got up my right shoulder dropped knowing that I'd done something straight away. Accidents happen in hockey and I'd like to say here and now I do not blame Scotty in any way. It was one of those things that 99 times out of 100, both players skate away right as rain.
I went to the dressing room where team doctor got me to hospital straight away but I was sent home due to the x-ray not showing to much due to the swelling One thing the doctor did state was that my right clavicle had been damaged and that the longer it was left the worse it will become, healing in the wrong position and causing me long term damage.
A week later whilst still keeping in touch with the team doctor along with the players and coach I eventually was asked to go see Professor Rolfe at Thoresbury Hospital. Proffesror Rolfe stated I required urgent surgery to fix my right clavicle and he was concerned about my right ac rotator joint. My breathing had been awful due to me breaking my 2nd n 3rd rib in the impact too. 3 weeks after the accident I was booked in for surgery but the night before I received a phone call stating it had been cancelled by the then owner Norton Lea as no payment had been made. You can imagine my frustration, so I called the coach and doctor and the following week booked in again. But the night before I was due to go under, it was cancelled again. I was furious this time as the World Championships were coming up and McSorley said I'd have a pretty good chance of making the team. I then went to the owner and asked him what was going on? With no real reply forthcoming, I went back and spoke to the doctor to find out what was going on.. The team doctor stated that they were trying to get quotes for my surgery as the team didn't want to pay £7,200 for the one surgery possible 2 I required.
That's when I asked the question 'Where is my insurance?' I wasn't named on the team policy along with 8 other players including Mr Sheffield Ron Shudra, Ryan Bach, Paul Kruse and several others. This was then when I contacted the IHPA. They were a players association that gave legal advice for the players at a cost of £250 for the season. Jo Collins who headed up the IHPA, wasn't happy at the way I was being treated and acted quickly with a solicitor in my defence. During all this I was asked by the team to go to the Park Hospital in Nottingham and get quotes for my urgent surgery.
This I did after speaking to Professor Wallace, who worked on Wayne Rooney at the World Cup in later years, and Lars Neiuman. They both said to come and have a consultation to see what surgery was required. They both said that if I was to sleep on my right shoulder my trachea would push against my throat stopping me breathing and during my sleep would die due to it being dislocated. This shocked me and it took a while to sink in as I'd been waiting several weeks now with 2 surgeries booked in and cancelled along with me getting my own quotes. Again I went to the team owner and doctor where the answer was "No. It's still too much at £7,500 and that to find somewhere else" I was devastated, along with my parents who were very concerned and angry.
The players were in Bracknell that night and I made a call to team captain Paul Kruse to explain to him that players aren't insured and what I was going through. Although I'd kept in touch with the players, I hadn't told them everything that went on. There was over 1.5 hours delay of the game due to the players sticking up for me and wanted the owner Norton Lea to make sure all players registered on the team sheet were named on the policy and that my surgery was booked in. This was confirmed by telephone call and fax.
The following day I was asked to go see a surgeon at Rotherham Hospital for another consultation. He again explained to me how its a life threatening injury and couldn't believe I'd waited over 10 weeks by this stage. During this time my shoulder started to heal in the wrong position and was in tremendous pain.
Finally I was booked in through the NHS at Rotherham Hospital 12 weeks after my accident and life threatening injury. The surgeon said he'd never done this operation before, whish sort of seemed to sum up the situation. If I wasn't suffering it, I'd have said you couldn't make it up! I came round 4 hours later on a breathing apparatus with morphine being pumped into my side. During the operation the surgeon had punctured my right lung causing me to struggle to breathe. After a few hours my lung inflated again but not fully and will always be 20% damaged. I was in hospital for 4 days before they let me home with boxes of pain killers and anti inflammatory tablets. I was placed in a shoulder harness and the surgery was a stabilization of the sternoclavicular, stitching a Dacron from the end of my right collar bone to my top 2 ribs that had been broken as they couldn't fix it just stabilize it.
I didn't miss one home game and went to a couple away games to show support for the players for sticking up for me I was still very much part of the team even though injured. Before I knew it the season was over and the Steelers won the playoffs in Nottingham where the players basically dragged me on the ice and wanted me to be part of it even though I'd only played the 2 games. It felt nice that the players still respected me and wanted me to be a part of the team celebrations. I knew I wouldn't make the World Championships in April 2001 and was focusing on the next season.
I had only received 2 weeks salary out of the 4 months I was with the Steelers and now the IHPA had gone to the courts, due to me not having any insurance cover that the league rules at that time stated must have. The league did have insurance but only around 50% of the players were registered. Basically cherry picking the better players to cover their high salaries at the time.
After the whole summer going through 3 different courts the team was taken over by Cardiff Devils owner Bob Phillips. He knew my situation and that I'd been fighting my case for many months. Late one evening he called and after a short conversation, the call ended abruptly after what he told me. I found out later that the operating company for the Steelers was being put into liquidation and that I'd not get a penny from them. I contacted the IHPA who were representing me at the time and they stated there's nothing you can that's the weakness of the law enabling company directors to fold a company to avoid paying any liable debts. The Steelers then started up another company in a similar name the day after and even that folded due to huge debts and several creditors outstanding money a few years later.
I was in a shoulder harness for 8 months and still awaiting my 2 operation on my S/C joint and not working during this time and was being supported by my parents. I still had outgoings and bills to pay like everyone else and found this very difficult indeed. I only received 3 phone calls from 3 British coaches Paul Thompson, Scott Neil and David Graham asking how I was and if everything was ok. Not a word from the Steelers at all, apart from a few of the players. I eventually got my second surgery on the NHS 3 years later but by this time my shoulder had healed in the wrong position and I'm now classed as 20% disabled.
I've been on national TV trying to get interest and support in my fight for change, but yet to have any meaningful success. I'm not convinced players in the Elite League are all covered by insurance, even now. I know that someone from the BBC approached the Elite League about whether every player was covered by insurance and was not given a straight answer. Well, he was but it was to the extent of 'yes they are and if you believe they're not, prove it. But you won't get any paperwork from us to prove anything'. Seems a bit questionable to me. If the Elite League has nothing to hide, why not share the paperwork when requested?
I want to keep fighting so that no other player in UK ice hockey has to suffer what I did. I've spoken to people in the game at the highest level, including Simon Kirkham (Referee-in-chief) and he's told me it's not just the players that don't all have insurance, most officials don't have it either. Officials are equally as important to the sport as players and they deserve the same coverage insurance wise as players. Officials are a hell of a lot harder to replace than players, so what happens if a referee or two got injured and were to miss an extended length of time? Where are their replacements going to come from?
For the life of me, I cannot understand why the league doesn't approach someone like BUPA or another big private health company and offer them sponsorship of the league and all that comes with it including regular coverage on Sky television and fairly regular coverage in the national newspapers. Surely it's good publicity for both sides? BUPA get regular coverage and the players get good coverage insurance wise and excellent care if they need it.
Since my first article was published on here, it's great to see Paul Ragan coming out publically and saying he won't be letting either of his teams break the wage-cap for the coming year. Let's hope the rest of the league also stick to it and we see some great hockey between evenly matched teams. It's great to finally have someone in charge who isn't afraid to be honest and be willing to stick to the rules. This is the sort of person we need involved in the sport and they should be supported in their efforts to get things better for everyone".

The Hutchinson News
(MCT) Reno County is expected to escape chances of severe weather -- and the possibility of any rain -- this evening, though a severe weather watch has been issued to counties east of here.
The grassland fire danger, meanwhile, remains very high for the central and south central parts of the state.
The storm front is expected to set up along a line from about Interstate 135 east, said Scott Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Wichita.
The threat will be mainly from large hail -- up to 2 inches in diameter -- and high winds of up to 70 mph.
There is a slight chance for isolated tornadoes, but that threat is primarily along and south of the Oklahoma border, Smith said.
"It will be similar to last evening," Smith said. "If you do get any storms that develop further west, the main threat will be large hail and winds, but it will more likely form to the east and race off to the east and northeast."
The next possibility of rain for south central Kansas is Sunday evening into Monday, Smith said. A few storms may be severe, mainly Sunday afternoon and evening, though conditions don't appear as dangerous as Wednesday night and Thursday.
"The main threat will be nickel-sized hail and winds of up to 50 mph," Smith said, "though that could change."

I hated it.. until I figured it out.
By Waters831
from Undisclosed
Comments about Dyson DC26 Multi Floor Canister Vacuum:
I live in a studio apartment with hardwood throughout, but I do have a huge area rug, so I needed something that could do a good job on both surfaces. I had been sweeping the floor but I had not been able to clean the rug without a vac on hand, and since I was in the market I figured I could look for a multi-purpose. When I saw this vacuum the first thing that I liked was the canister design, I like being able to leave the body behind and use a small section to get into smaller spaces. I also liked that it was small (it seriously is tiny) so I started trying to find the best deals and I ended up not being willing to pay the price people wanted, and lowes had stopped selling them so I gave up for a few weeks. One day on craigslist I saw one up for sale and decided to jump on it. I got the thing for a 1/4 of the sticker price and took it home with me. I was so excited (like a new toy) I wanted to use it immediately when I got home. I used it on the rug and the first thing I noticed was that the vacuum did not stand the carpet fibers up.. (you know, that "Clean" pattern that lets you know where you've been.. yeah, none of that) and anytime the vac would leave the ground it would FLING dust and debris all over my legs and back onto the floor. I was very disappointed with my purchase and started to understand why lowes stopped selling it.. A month went by and I decided to use it again just to find solace in my purchase instead of having a dirty rug.. and the same thing happened. I decided to try and clean it out and see if that did anything. The filter was clean, no dust in the holder really, and the suction was very powerful with the brush end off.. so I didn't understand what was wrong. I put the brush end back on and it kept "pshhhhh" clicking back into off position every time I would pull the knob out.. Really irritating, so I stuck a quarter (the same quarter I use to undo the parts of the machine) in between the knob and brush to hold it in on-position. I ran it across the rug again and after vacuuming realllly slow I could still see plenty of dirt, glitter, and crumbs in the rug.. I was lost, I didn't know what to do. Sitting in the floor just disgusted with it.. I took the brush end off.. undid the roller in it and took the roller out to clean the hair off.. that is when I noticed the completely clogged (really small opening) section where the suction comes through the brush.. it was completely stopped up with fuzz, hair, paper, anything and everything. I spent about 15 minutes over the sink running water through it, picking at it with a hanger, running more water, and finally it was completely unclogged. I put it all back together and it definitely fixed the problem. Turns out I had bought it that way.. the guy that had it didn't know what was wrong with it and threw his hands up.. I fixed it and now I am happy. Design flaw on the small hole that would even allow a small piece of paper to jam it up.. possibly so.. but it is super easy to clean out if it is acting up. The vacuum clings to the floor and definitely stands the carpet up now. For the most part.. this vac is an acquired taste.. you really wouldn't want to use this in a big house, as you would have a hard time covering a lot of ground with this little head.. but it is perfect for me (and my rug) and as long as you understand how to correctly maintain it.. you'll like it. For sure. Suction is phenomenal and design is so cool.
Not thrilled
By pethairblues
I just got this vacuum today. I have the Dyson stick vac, which I love and don't love... (runs out of charge too quick and too heavy) but (great suction and cleaning). This vacuum does not have as good of suction as the stick it seems and it sounds like a dentist drill! :( My biggest disappointment tho is, the cord is WAY TOO SHORT! I think I need to return it and get the bigger yellow canister....?

Love this little vacuum!
By JohnH
I have been wanting a dyson for a very long time, I was finally able to get one last week. I am amazed at how great this little vacuum is. I thought that because it was smaller maybe I would loose some of the quality of the dyson, not true, its just as good. I have a 2yr old that leaves crumbs all over the place and my vacuum had broken almost 2 to 3 weeks earlier so my apartment was a mess. I brought my dyson home and was able to vacuum the entire apartment in one shot, I don't think my carpets looked so clean, and the air smelled fresh too.
Don't like it.
By MJRM
We got this with our wedding gift cards and are going to go exchange it for a different dyson. This one is really annoying because they are two separate parts, the cannister always runs into things and gets stuck behind things while I am pulling it around with the hand held part. The suction really is bad. I have to go over the same thing quite a few times very slowly and it still doesn't get all that much picked up. I definitely wouldn't recommend it. We still want to try with dyson though.. So we'll see about the next one.
So unhappy
By SilverGal
The DC26 Multi floor canister vacuum has been such a disappointment to me. It picks up very litte from carpets, leaving everything from dust to pet hair. It does work well on bare floors, but I could have purchased a much less expensive vacuum just to do my bare floors. I would not recommend this product to ANYONE.
The DC26 is wonderful
By JudyS
I really love the vac except that the cord is WAY TOO SHORT!! You cannot go very far without running out of cord and having to replug it in. That gets to be pretty annoying. I'll have to go buy an extension cord.
better than any other
By fanboy2237
Our Grandma gave us an old vacuum cleaner after she got a new one. Over the past year, it was falling apart! It was very heavy and my mom hated it. Then I started saving up for the Dyson City vacuum. When I finally reached the price, I got it from dyson.com. It was easy to assemble and very lightweight. I did our "family room" with it . When I was done, I looked at the bin and it was almost to the MAX level. I am happy with it so far!

Dyson City DC26 Multi floor Canister Vacuum
By Lynda44
I purchased this vacuum because we have all hard floors with 3 rugs at entry doors and wanted an easy to handle, light-weight machine to clean both surfaces in our typical 3 bedroom ranch home. Plus, the fact that the Dyson name is well-known was a factor in my decision. The suction is O.K. not as good as I expected. The powerhead brush quits spinning anywhere from 20 - 30 times during a normal weekly vacuuming. If I lightly bump a wall, bump a furniture leg or go from rug to hard surface floor or vice-versa, the power brush quits turning--although the vacuum keeps most of its suction. I have to turn the power button off or remove the powerhead from the sweeper wand to restore the brush turning. Also, any hair or thread on the floor wraps around the powerbrush and has to be pulled off manually. It would be nice if the power cord were about 6 feet longer so I could sweep an entire large area, like our family room dining area, without moving the plug to a different outlet. The vacuum does not take bags and it has to be emptied often. I do not mind because it is very easy to remove the canister and empty it. I feel the vacuum is very overpriced at $399.99 due to its problems with use and not being as powerful as advertised. It might be worth about half of its cost. It is lightweight and easy to move and store. I like the feature that holds the wand/hose on the canister for storing. Overall, I am disappointed for the value at the price.
Happy with my DC 26 and with their customer servic
By Sugarfoote
I purchased my DC26 and it arrived very well packaged with good instructions. I have mostly hardwood floors and was so tired of lugging around heavy vacum. This vacum really leaves the floors clean with no sandy residue at all. However, I tried the turbine head. It worked fine the first time but when I tried it the next day it would not work. I called the company and got to speak to a customer service rep. She was very patient with me walked me through what she wanted me to do . She then proceeded to tell me they would send me a new head immediately. I received the head today which was about 4 days after my phone call. The new head works very well and I am very pleased with this vacum. It is nice to find a company that stands by its product.
dusty dc26
By akichan
machine blows out a lot of dust which bothers me; have to wear a dust mask when using vacuum. Otherwise powerful little machine, but limited use due to dust factor. Does not serve purpose of fast cleanup that we originally wanted.

Reviewer: A viewer from Cumming, GA US
Quick, do yourself a favor and buy one of these things for $0.95. Wraps around your vise just under the jaws. Holds feathers, wire, uni flex, krystal flash, you name it, so that those materials don't keep getting in your way. You can seperate materials so that you can be sure to work with only one material at a time. At that price, lol, it's a definite no brainer, buy it, use it, be glad you did.
