my gf has the dyson too but she also bought a cheap version from Amazon for like $40 to keep at my place. in her own words, the difference is about 3-4 mins drying time for her long hair. to a guy, that absolutely would not justify the difference in price lol. but yeah, here we are.

Ive had 3 sharks.

One was a corded wand style which was great for my small condo. 6 years and never a single issue. Ended up selling it for almost as much as I bought it for. Keeping the box seems to help.

The second was an upright that worked flawlessly. I forget the name. Unfortunately the wand was designed with rivet bolts that would strip away when you adjust the wand, making the wand unusable. The vacuum itself worked perfectly.

Shark sent me a stratos as a free replacement and it does not have a riveted wand and is way better built. So far no issues. The deodarizer puck is a gimmick but damnit i love that fresh scent of clean carpets.

So yeah, 3 sharks, no problems other than rivets (which could have been diy repaired but I wanted free upgrade).

I think I just carpet bombed dukes :lol

TKO :alone::moderated::lol

Someone just please ban me.

We briefly had a Shark stick vacuum at work. By briefly, it was only with us for a couple of hours before the owner trashed the whole thing in the dumpster because it worked so poorly.

It was particularly unusual because he's prudent with finances, but the vacuum was bad enough that taking it back to Costco for a refund was out of the question :lol

yeah i also had a shark navigator which is an upright bagless, and my gf at the time happened to have the exact same one and they both worked fine lol. i ended up donating both of them when we moved to a condo together

I have a Shark StainStriker which is a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner. Great for pet owners.

I need 5W40! :mad:

^ you just like the EDGE part

So im at costco today and i see that the Vitamix blender is on sale for 100 bucks off.
https://www.costco.ca/vitamix-ventur...000296966.html

Who the hell spends money on a 500 dollar blender?!?!?! what does it do besides blend shit?!

I buy the ninja blender instead for 69.99. FUCK YOU VITAMIX you porschesque douchebag of the blender world.

https://www.costco.ca/ninja-professi...000235866.html

and dont you dare compare this to dyson vacuum conversation above. I will end you!!!!

Yes the Dyson is a very apt comparison :lol

If you’re ok with canister I’ve occasionally seen the Miele C3 on sale at Costco around the 3-400 mark.

I do have a vitamix and i have to say that self detect technolgy is BS.
I did come from a crappy ass oyster blender so it was night and day.

I honestly do not know if the ninja versus vitamix side by side comparison which i'm sure it's on youtube.

For normal people your ninja is fine. For those who blend with a lot of ice it does take a bit of hp. no, i don't make soup with it. I'm asian. It needs to boil.

When my wife had craving, we did make ice cream with the vitamix (which i'm sure any blender worked).

I got my vitamix for $120 which also came with a solo cup attachment so i ain't complaining.

I also came from a 15 year old oyster blender (glass and metal components!) to this new fangled blender.

Well, i just used it yesterday and it uhhh... blends. Its quieter, but everything is plastic. The only thing thats metal is the blades. Did a pretty good job blending my protein smoothie so i guess its a keeper.

Do you fobs mean Oster blender?

Hahahahah !!!! We so fucking fob. I’ve literally been calling it oyster for all these years.

lol

Please rename this website to fobscene.net

omg here I was thinking, what is this Oyster brand that both of you have. How have I never heard of it. Ya fucking fobs LOL

i bought a blendtec for $379 like probably 15 years ago and still using it to this day.
ive put over 1500 cycles on it and had the jars warrantied a few times, it's been a good purchase.
the motor seems built like a tank and im sure it will keep going for years to come.
i do sorta like the vitamix design with the tamper lid, but i like that the blendtecs blades are blunt and you cant cut yourself cleaning it.
sounds like a fucking rocket though... i've contemplated buying an enclosure for it...

they all foooking look the same now.

it's so funny, i freaking HATE the tamper... i had to create / velcro a freaking jar on the side so my dad won't lose or misplace the tamper.

Shaddup you Guangdong bastard. I guarantee you called it oyster too.

So, you fobs say to oysterize, instead of osterize............

You guys need to be ostracized

I bought that same Costco blendtec unit, after an old Hamilton Beach blender broke. I'm still on the original jar, works great. The thing is stupid loud, I have a set of ear protectors in the kitchen for when I use it lol.

What's the goat vacuum these days?

My V10 Dyson is crapping out and pretty much sucks up nothing, it's a waste of time to go over an area 3-4x. I've used the newer generation and it seemed sick, but not sure if there's better value.
