Just caught some of the Bissell Power vacuum cleaner demo with Mikey boy and guest. What a joke. The "very heavily soiled" piece of red carpet that was used for the demo. did not look at all heavily soiled to me, just had a layer of brown powder and/or dust on it. Heavily soiled to me equals dirt and stains, not just a layer of dust on top, and no ordinary vacuum action will remove soaked-in stains. So that was a load of tosh to start with, but of course there were gasps of amazement after the demo. and Mikey boy then says "ah, but what about if you have a black carpet that really shows the dirt" (does anyone have a black carpet??). The guest then moved to the piece of black carpet and the camera came in for a close up - when you could clearly see the dust and dirt still remaining on the piece of red carpet he'd already vacuumed!! Very convincing (not). Could do better. Things must be bad, because Mikey's now gone into a whole heart-melting routine about how IW have been in business for so long and (quote): "we'll be in business for another 15 years". Er, are you sure of that, Mikey???
