The cognitive dissonance problem with owner reviews of higher than usual priced stuff (e.g., Macs, Kirby vacuums, etc.) is that having spent the extra money, the buyer must now report how superior the product is lest he be seen as a sucker or even a fool...

Once they spent money on it, they sort of have to like it, or else admit they were foolish.

How about this? I OWNED a Kirby and thought it was absolutely excellent, although a bit pricey, and things such as the jig saw attachment were a bit silly. It was great as a vacuum cleaner and rug shampoo-er, though. Thirty years later, I wish I still had it. I bet it is still in like new condition, because my first wife, who got it in the divorce, never did a lick of housework in her life. |
